The #chicagocubs and #sandiegopadres went wire to wire the entire series and just like the first two games, Game 3 came down to the end.  The #cubs struck first with a pair of runs and it remained that way until the 7th, when #michaelbusch homered to give the #cubs a 3-0 lead.  #jamesontaillon was nails, tossing 4 shutout innings and the bullpen did the rest.  The #padres didn't get a good start from former Cub #yudarvish and ...

The #chicagocubs had a chance to sweep the #sandiegopadres at #wrigleyfield in the #wildcard series at #wrigleyfield on Wednesday.  #dylancease struck out 5 and was yanked in the 4th inning.

The Chicago Cubs seem like they’re in a downward spiral with an offense that can’t get out of their own way. Kap and Gordon Wittenmyer are here to dissect the Cubs in a post trade deadline era. Speaking of, what are their deadline thoughts?  It should come as no surprise that they’re baffled at the lack of will Jed Hoyer and the front office showed. Kap is beside himself and the Cubs are backing that belief up. It’s Kap and Gordon ...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
