00:00So last night was a very good victory for the Cubs.

00:04Actually, Pat Hughes, who doesn't exaggerate, Pat is not prone to hyperbole.

00:09He is just a hall of fame announcer.

00:11He thought it might've been as good as any game that he had called this year.

00:15I'm just going to say this is one of the best overall games for

00:19the Chicago Cubs all year long.

00:21I would agree.

00:22So that's our, at our best moment tonight.

00:25And it's been good to see plenty of offense, great pitching, solid

00:29defense, good base running.

00:30They did it all.

00:31Yeah, they really did.

00:33And you're playing also against the number one team in baseball.

00:37They brought their A game because they knew they had to.

00:40Is that a fair assessment?

00:41I mean, they, the thing that they did is they got, you know, Jameson

00:44Tyon is getting better and better and better as the season goes on.

00:49And he had a really good performance.

00:52They got, they got the bats going and they got them going early.

00:56They were, they had seven runs in like four innings, three innings, whatever it

01:00was, they jumped out early, which is great to see.

01:04And then David, the bullpen, you know, all the worries about bullpen.

01:09I mean, I know I'm kind of poking the bear here, but they got some good

01:15performances down the line and it was nice to see Mark Leiter jr.

01:19Back on the mound and contributing because let's face it when he went down,

01:24you don't, you never know when these relievers leave, if they're coming back

01:28or when they've had bad experiences with Meriwether with Al's ally, Mark Leiter

01:33jr.

01:33Back on the mound, doing what he has done pretty much all season long.
