https://anchor.fm/krausencast/embed/episodes/Northside-Krausencast-Episode-6-emekp9 The four asswholes discuss the awesomeness of the universal DH, Jose Abreau’s MVP, the robbery of Yu Darvish’s Cy Young award, the prospects for the 2021 Cubs, what makes a Cubs fan favorite, and the laws governing the importation of sheeps’ lungs for the purposes of making haggis.

Everything Is Stupid. Cubs – 0; Marlins – 2
Yu Darvish pitched well. Sixto Sanchez was really good — that kid has a future. However, the lack of a Cubs offense, as has been the case all year, means this is the last recap of the year. My frustration is going to make me put as much effort into this as the Cubs offense […]
NOT ALL RIGHT — A’s 5, White Sox 3
A’s manager Bob Melvin clearly got the message after Tuesday’s first game of the Wild Card Series in Oakland: don’t throw a lefty at this Sox offense. They also got on the board first, and kept scoring to force a winner-take-all third game on Thursday at the Coliseum. THE GOOD: Yasmani Grandal homered for the […]
WELCOME TO THE SHOW — White Sox 4, A’s 1
The White Sox had a chance to start the postseason at home, but by virtue of stumbling down the stretch, they had to head west to a house of horrors for the Sox in years past, the Oakland Coliseum. But this is a new Sox team, unafraid of going into the Coliseum, and they won […]
SOX ATTEND AA MEETING: Cubs 10, White Sox 8
Today’s game between the Cubs and White Sox had completely different meanings for each team. The Cubs entered the day locked into the 3rd seed in the National League, having clinched the division crown the night before. The Sox could feasibly finish in first, second or be the wild card depending on their outcome combined […]
A Game Happened. Cubs – 10; White Sox – 0
So, I didn’t watch any of the game last night due to a previous engagement. But, apparently, it went swimmingly. The Cubs reduced their magic number to 1 to win the division. The Cubs scored a bunch of runs by hitting some home runs (fucking finally). They also pitched really well. The White Sox didn’t. […]
ROAD KILLED — Cleveland 5, White Sox 4
When the White Sox departed for a 7-game swing through Ohio, they had a 3 game lead on Minnesota in the AL Central. They limp home after a 1-6 trip, a full game back of Minnesota, and Cleveland has closed to within one game of the Sox for 2nd in the division, and Cleveland could […]
NO ANGELS BEHIND HOME PLATE — White Sox 1, Cleveland 1 (Cleveland wins euchre 4-2 in extras)
With the number of games quickly dwindling down in the regular season, the importance of each ratchets up on a young Sox team leading the division in its first year of its contention window. We’re now seeing how they handle the pressure of a division title race, and apparently Angel Hernandez didn’t handle it all […]
PLAYOFFS WITH NO PAYOFF: Pirates 3, Cubs 2
Tonight the Chicago Cubs returned to PNC Park for the second of four games with the Pittsburgh Pirates needing either a win or a Phillies loss to get into the postseason, and begin living the bubble life in preparation for the playoffs. The Cubs were sending Jose Quintana, fresh from the injured list, with a […]
LESTER IS MORE: Cubs 5, Pirates 0
The Chicago Cubs traveled to Pittsburgh to begin a 4-game series against the Pirates tonight, and the Cubs sent Jon Lester to the mound against JT Brubaker. The Cubs have run a 5-1 record so far this year against the Bucs. How did things go? In what may very well have been the last regular […]
