Tim, Adam and Julie talk about the just concluded Crosstown Cup series, potential trades or extensions of our starting pitchers (particularly Jeff Samardzija), and wonder what the hell is going on with the Cubs having a +11 run differential and a record of 7 under .500.

WTF – March 22, 2013 – Wrigley Renovations, the Cubs Roster, and For Some Reason, Chone Figgins
Today on our Wrigley Talk Friday podcast, Adam, Julie and I discussed the Wrigley renovation saga as both Tom Tunney and the Cubs posture in the media, while Cubs fans kvetch over the potential loss of the manual scoreboard.

Wrigley Talk Friday: The Return of Julie (for awhile) – 9-14-12
This week we welcome back Julie after a long absence and came to the conclusion that we still don't really know what to make of Jeff Samardzija after a full year.
