Lovable losers? These two bearcats have something in common with the Chicago Cubs.  At Andy's request or insistence, we celebrate the beginning of the baseball season by discussing The Cubs Way by Tom Verducci.  In this episode, we discuss and analyze the key management players that built the team that finally broke the famous Cubs curse.  In order to do this, your hosts were joined by a hibernating bearcat to equip them with the only drink you can have when discussing Chicago.  Pour yourself a shot of Malort, give yourself a "Chicago handshake" and "Try Not to Suck."
