426. Why wait to celebrate? - Pointless Exercise Podcast

The Cubs magic number is dwindling, and while Marquee and the Score couldn't figure out how to calculate it properly, our podcast does. It's the Cubs pod with Oleg and Praz and Mike has done the math. And while the Brewers wait to win the division to celebrate, the Cubs should just go ahead. No need to wait for those losers to have a party. There's a lot to talk about, like Marquee's coverage of Ian Happ's retirement...we mean, Anthony Rizzo's retirement co-starring Ian Happ, and what were the odds of Moises Ballesteros hitting a homer right to Rizzo in the bleachers? Well, if you think that was cool, we have a Richie Ashburn story that will blow your mind. We talk about what other players would get a celebration like Rizzo did, why Boog can't pronounce Horwitz and why he kept saying Owen Caissie hit his face on some ivy when we're pretty sure the brick wall behind it did the damage. We talk about the return of injured Cubs, most notably Kyle Tucker and where Moises fits if Kyle comes back. Is Cade or Shōta the game one starter? Plus, why can't anyone who wears number one for the Cubs actually hit? All that, and much more.
