483. Too the bitter end - Pointless Exercise Podcast

About this episode

Oleg and Praz discuss the Cubs' poor performance and the implications of the Wild Card race.

You'd think that with the Cubs playing this poorly for this long that the sweet relief of elimination would be on the way, but the third Wild Card means nobody is ever out of it, no matter how bad they are. Oleg and Praz are on the case to discuss what's not working with the Cubs, how Petecrow the leadoff man inexplicably is, and why Ian Happ's 1,000th hit turned into yet another embarrassment for the draft record of this hapless franchise.
