CCB #25: The Cubs head home to Wrigley North Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

The Cubs ran into a bit of a juggernaut in a red hot San Francisco Giants team that is 17-3 in July, but managed to win on Wednesday. It may have even helped the Cubs by keeping Madison Bumgarner off the market. Sara and Andi are talking about who's hot, who's hurt and who got sent to Iowa. After the break they are also looking ahead to a crucial series between the Cubs and the Brewers at the Cubs summer home in Milwaukee. Learn more about your ad choices.
