SHOW NOTES
* 215.
1:21: Maddon Madness & Magic.
* Minooka: “A nice place to call home.”
* Tommy La Stella!
* Nightengale, USA Today: “Joe Maddon helped lead the Chicago Cubs to the Holy Grail of sports, with a consistent level of success they haven’t seen in a century, but there are whispers his job could be in jeopardy if they don’t play deep into October.”
* Bernstein & McKnight, The Score: “Joe Maddon Calls Report On His Job Security ‘Dumb.'”
* Vote for Pedro.
* Musical chairs:
LOL at the #Cubs bullpen celebrating David Bote’s homer by playing a surprisingly competitive round of musical chairs. 😂🤣 pic.twitter.com/h0l3v5T22X

* Twins Show Respect For Wilson By Trading Him To Cubs.
* Bryant To Start In Philadelphia On Saturday.
32:43: Hot White Sox Screwing Eloy.
* Wallenstein: “His homophobic, racist tweets are not the lone blemish on his ledger. He received a 50-game suspension for a banned stimulant in 2015, and a year later he punched a teammate in spring training, breaking his hand.”
* Kris Bryant Remembers.
* To Rick Hahn’s way of thinking, Ryan LaMarre checks all the boxes but Eloy Jimenez doesn’t. Because one box is protecting service time.
* Renteria Cleared, Returns To Dugout.
43:26: Fake Bears Finish Fake Pre-Season With Fake Hopes.
* A lot of McCaskey mouths to feed.
* Draft day hype James Daniels will neither start at center nor start at guard to open the season.
* Brad Biggs’ 10 thoughts, roster projection.
* Cameron Meredith Relieved To Put Up Preseason Stats.
* It was the Chicago Tribune!
Rodgers on Chicago Tribune’s tweet ‘Wisconsin man gets a pay raise’: “They’ve done multiple headlines not mentioning by name and I find it all pretty comical. It is what it is. We’ve beat them a bunch in mine and Favre’s eras over the past 20 years-or-so of Packer football.”
