When the year started, misinformed pundits (like host Gary Cohen) said the Cubs might be a little thin in the starting rotation. But with Justin Steele back, Jameson Taillon impressing, Javier Assad soaring, and Shota Imanaga looking like a Rookie of the Year, the Cubs have moved into a first-place tie. In this episode, Cohen discusses the Cubs stellar staff, examines some improved defensive numbers, and looks back at Kerry Wood's 1998 gem, still one of the best games ever pitched.
