Welcome back to the Monday Morning Cubs Show and our apologies again for the late post. You will notice we have (a) much better audio, (b) multi-cam technology, (c) chapters and (d) cleaner graphics - although that's not saying much. Most important thing is we appreciate the patience as we wrap up Pilot Phase in preparation of Opening Day. Obviously that means a quick knee jerk reaction to Sh...
