Andy, Praz and Oleg discuss all the pertinent issues with the Cubs like the return of Matt Mervis, Nicky Two Strikes, Ian Happ’s return to the lineup, Kyle Hendricks’ phantom back injury and Boog’s fascination with Mike Tauchman. But then they put their big throbbing brains together and come up with a series of initiatives that will toughen the Cubs up and forge them into a true championship contender. The ideas are brilliant and the Cubs can easily monetize them, which is all they care about. Then the podcast becomes probiotic talk as Andy discusses the very liquid reason why there was only one newsletter and no podcast last week, and if the good folks at Bucee’s or Kefir are listening, there’s a sponsorship opportunity in the offing, with the kind of appreciative testimonial that money just can’t buy.

Oh, and the name they couldn’t remember at the end? Barkevious Mingo. Don’t Google him.
