Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed Pete Crow Armstrong being broken? Is he a total headcase? He's stopped throwing stuff at bat, but he hasn't stopped running his mouth; he hasn't stopped making absurd fielding mistakes. The constant jumping at the wall on balls he has no shot at annoys me. And then tonight, a braindead little league 3 base error. How the hell do the Cubs fix this?

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed the Chicago Cubs (29-19) 15-game Wrigley Field winning streak would come to an end, but to see it happen on Monday night against the Milwaukee Brewers (27-18) makes it sting all the more.

The super-hot White Sox win 6-5, Will Venable knows this ball club.. Fedde was "unimpressive" but ate innings and forced Will to bump his pen up by an inning. Romo, Meidroth, and (checks notes) Derek Hill! Venable pushed the right buttons, and it became the Derek Hill game in the matter of one inning. This team is gritty!

Could the Bears get better than a 5th round pick in a bidding war?  Could the White Sox hot spring training start be for real? I think they will be better than watchable and could even challenge be being good. There's a chance this is the 2nd best team in the division if the bats are legitimate.  The Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't Bulls. Losing today would've made 12 straight losses, a pathetic number, but winning today cost them much needed spots in the lottery race. They somehow still cannot do anything right.

Hour 1:  Kap & J. Hood discussed Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles and your trust level of Poles, either intentionally or accidentally dense about Tremaine Edmunds. We kept hearing today: "good luck trading him, everyone knows you're cutting him." Does nobody remember Ryan Bates??? Far worse players than Edmunds have been traded for day 2 or day 3 picks despite everyone knowing the player will be cut; teams jump the waiver wire all the time.

The Chicago Park District is really adding insult to injury to the Bears by pushing for a $630M revamp of Soldier Field after they leave. Does this piss anyone else off?
