There is no wheel spinning in this edition of Remember This Crap because the guys decide to bring in a guest with a love of ’80s baseball and, inexplicably, the podcast. NBA writer Kelly Dwyer joins the fray as they discuss the 1985 Cubs who were riding high in early June only to ruin the season and the basketball camp experiences of Andy and Mike during a 13 game losing streak. There are a lot of injuries, and shockingly, deaths in this one. Find out which Padre and Cub one of the guys’ former coworkers had an affair with. Learn how many hits the Cubs got against John Tudor that year. Be shocked and saddened by the Cubs development of Shawon Dunston. Re-live the horror (or joy, depending on your rooting interests) of the sixth game of the ’85 World Series. And, get a detailed explainer of Larry Bowa’s final Wrigley Field hit. The at bat took even longer than this podcast.

Here’s one of the greatest baseball card’s ever:
You know it’s bad when the team highlight video is titled O*U*C*H and set to the theme from M*A*S*H.
The Cardinals was titled “Heck of a Year.” Of course it was. I hope they took the time to show all 40 hits they got in seven World Series games.
