Forgetting what "Go, Cubs, Go!" sounds like? The Cubs are mired in their first prolonged slump of the season. The bats have gone cold, dropping the team close to the .500 mark. On the bright side, Ben Brown just spun seven no-hit innings, and Pete Crow-Armstrong won minor league player of the week honors. Also, MLB just made a big change to their statistical database.

When the year started, misinformed pundits (like host Gary Cohen) said the Cubs might be a little thin in the starting rotation.

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.
