Away Games: A Chicago Cubs Podcast

Kevin & Adam talk depressing St. Louis series, how close bad play can be to good, how "walks" make you nuts, and they are a skill and not something that can just be wished away, being team no-boo, Chatwood as maddening to watch, and why it's okay to be grateful for 2016 but still want more RIGHT NOW.

So, the Cubs rotation is good, turns out. Real good. The offense decided to be bad for a week, but they've been good for the rest of the year, and they're on pace for 100 wins. Who knew, they might be okay. Follow us! Instagram & Twitter: @awaygamespod Tumblr: awaygamespodcast.tumblr.com Hosts @adammamawala & @kevinmccaff Message us at awaygamespodcast@gmail.com

Kevin & Adam talk about the insane Sunday game against the Rockies which -- upon further review -- the Cubs won. Yu Darvish's continued struggles, Javy as a superhero, and Clint Hurdle still sucks, just because. Follow us!

Kevin & Adam talk about Rizzo's suggestion for a shorter season, the insane comeback against the Braves, Javy Baez vs. d-bag Clint Hurdle, and the "Javy Baez Cycle" and cycles for Cubs of the present and past.

1/16th of the way into the season & we're already frazzled. BP Wrigleyville's Ken Schultz joins 1 more time before moving back to Chicago, we talk: the great series in Milwaukee, the less fun home opener in Chicago proper & a big homestand coming up. We take listener questions via email & Ken has an Ian Happ theory. Follow us!

The season is ACTUALLY here! Adam & Kevin talk week 1, from Happ's explosive start to the weird, annoying end of the first weekend. Good bullpen, iffy starting, Hendricks as hero & a fun tweet from Dexter Fowler to remind us that we're at peak "small sample size." Follow us!

Kevin and Adam are joined by BP Wrigleyville writer & comedian Ken Schultz to preview the Cubs 2018 season. We analyze the offseason moves, predict breakouts and identify our biggest concerns, pick our most important Cubs for the season, and finally make our predictions for wins and how far the Cubs will go this year. Spoiler: we don't *all* predict a parade. Let's get it on!

Before real baseball starts up, Adam & Kevin banter about a bunch of fun things, but MOSTLY, about their 2016 experiences. Spoiler: they were fun.

Episode ZERO of Away Games: A Chicago Cubs Podcast! Adam Mamawala and Kevin McCaffrey are comedians, baseball nerds, and most importantly for this podcast, gigantic Cubs fans. They live in New York City, and this is the beginning of their weekly podcast chronicling both the Cubs, and what it's like to be fans roughly 800 miles east of their favorite team. In this first episode, Adam & Kevin talk about how they became Cubs fans, and why they're doing this podcast now. We talk our first games, 0-14 starts, Sosa '98, Andre Dawson hitting so many homers the Mets officially accused him of cheating, and a whole lot more.
