#22 | The Next Bad Boy of the Chicagoland Organ Scene: *Nothing*, The G Beard, and Howie Rose is a god

This week, the thing Nick and Jordan love about baseball is...nothing? We love nothing about baseball? That can't be right, can it? Yes, our theme for this week is *nothing,* because both Nick and Jordan are of the opinion that despite the on-paper chances for the Mets and the Cubs, it's just not going to happen for them. (Just listen, it'll make sense.)

We also do an injury update, we talk about Mike Fiers' G Beard, and we mehhhhh our way through a discussion of the single-season home run record being broken.

Our "Of the Week" Of the Week is "Stick a Fork in It" Of the Week: Our definitive scientific analysis of who, despite still having an ostensible chance elimination-number wise, is done for the season.
 
Our other baseball podcast is Talking Chop, the Braves podcast from the SB Nation fansite of the same name. (We do not condone the chop, but we might condone the wordplay.) It's a great show! Subscribe to the show and follow its host Brad Rowland on Twitter!

Thanks as always to the great @drawawalk for our artwork.

Stuff we talked about:
That review of Black Leopard, Red Wolf that Jordan mentioned (NPR)
Howie Rose ripping the MLB for not letting the Mets players wear 9/11 tribute cleats (The Yardbarker)
The butterfly landing on Yankees reliever Zack Britton's glove (Cut4)
