A Pat Hughes Cameo, Cubbies Playing Well & The Looming Trade Deadline

Away Games: A Chicago Cubs Podcast

After a two week hiatus the only way we could make it up to you was by starting this week's episode with a 3 minute Cameo from Pat Hughes to Kevin "The Face" McCaffrey for his 40th birthday. And to Kevin's wife Jaimie who ordered said Cameo, let us just say, "YOU THE REAL MVP." After listening to the dulcet tones of Mr. Hughes (sadly there was no mention of Benjamin Moore or Willson CONEtreras), we get into some Cubbie talk. Our beloved team has shockingly rattled off four straight series wins, three of which came against likely playoff-bound teams. We discuss the continued development of Steele/Thompson, the case to be made for three All-Star Cubs, and our sense of impending doom with the trade deadline just a month away. Oh, and pre-order Adam's comedy album would ya??!!
