    OFF THE IVY: Chicago Cubs salvage series in Atlanta behind Ben Brown and bullpen shut out

    The Chicago Cubs avoided a sweep in Atlanta with a gritty 2-0 shutout win over the Braves. Ben Brown delivered his best starts of the season, attacking the zone and keeping Atlanta’s powerful lineup off balance all night. The bullpen took over from there, combining to slam the door and preserve the Cubs’ shutout victory. In this episode, we break down Brown’s dominant outing, the key bullpen performances, and how the Cubs were able to salvage the final game of the series before heading to the Southside of Chicago tonight. Can Ben Brown become a reliable piece of the Cubs’ rotation moving forward and can the Cubs start a new winning streak against the White Sox? We preview the Crosstown Classic this weekend at Rate Field before we end the show.

    Chicago Bulls New Opportunity: Why Bryson Graham Needs to Take EVERY Call

    Dan Bernstein believes Bryson Graham is in a rare and valuable position right now as an unknown commodity on the NBA scene, and he needs to fully lean into it. 0:00 Chicago Bulls 17:15 Chicago Cubs 36:45 Dodgers According to Dan, that means being aggressive, open-minded, and proactive taking every call, exploring every opportunity, and evaluating every possible avenue to improve the Bulls. Nothing should be off the table, including players who might typically be considered untouchable. The idea is simple: when you don’t yet have a defined league-wide reputation, you have flexibility—use it. On the Cubs, Dan is preaching patience. Despite a three-game losing streak, he reminded fans this is the natural rhythm of a 162-game season. Slumps happen, and overreacting to a small skid is shortsighted. His message: don’t panic—this is baseball. Around Major League Baseball, the Dodgers are set to honor two former players, Billy Bean and Glenn Burke, during Pride Night. Dan highlighted the significance of recognizing their contributions and legacy, especially given their impact as openly gay figures connected to the sport. And in college football, Lane Kiffin made comments comparing recruiting at LSU versus Ole Miss, which stirred some backlash. Dan doesn’t see the issue. From his perspective, Kiffin was simply stating the obvious realities of recruiting differences between programs, and he doesn’t understand why people are taking offense.

    Craig Counsell’s Masterpiece: How the Cubs Are Winning Despite Pitching Injuries

    Dan Bernstein floated a compelling idea today: if the season ended right now, Craig Counsell would be the early frontrunner for Manager of the Year. And it’s hard to argue. 0:00 Craig Counsell 25:45 MLB manager ejections 42:20 A man, a rock and a seal The Cubs are sitting atop the NL Central with the second‑best record in all of baseball, despite being ravaged by pitching injuries. They’re doing it with depth guys, patched‑together rotations, and a clubhouse that hasn’t flinched. The only team ahead of them? Atlanta — by a single game. And fittingly, that’s who the Cubs see next, opening a three‑game series tonight against the Braves in a true measuring‑stick matchup. It also raises a broader question about the modern game: do baseball fans actually miss the old‑school manager ejections? The red‑faced blowups, the dirt‑kicking, the choreographed arguments with umpires that were more performance art than protest? As technology continues to reshape baseball — pitch clocks, replay review, automated strike‑zone assistance on the horizon — those phony sideshows are disappearing. And honestly, that might be a good thing. The game is faster, cleaner, and more honest than it used to be. The drama now comes from execution, not theatrics. And with that, we wrap things up today with one last story — a man, a seal, and a rock.

    Chicago Bulls land the 4th pick - a franchise-changing moment?

    The Chicago Bulls finally caught a break, landing the 4th overall pick in the NBA Draft — and Dan Bernstein believes this could be a franchise‑changing moment for the Bulls and new power broker Bryson Graham. 0:00 Chicago Bulls 14:50 Wembanyama 20:50 Anthony Edwards 29:00 Knicks Fans 33:20 Mike Clevenger 48:50 Devil Wears Prada 2 59:45 DBU Picks With no front office fully in place and no head coach yet, there’s still plenty of uncertainty, but a top‑5 pick gives the rebuild a real chance to start on solid footing. The NBA Playoffs continue to deliver, including a notable — and frustrating — moment when Victor Wembanyama was ejected. Dan discusses why it was a dumb, avoidable situation, but also an important learning experience for a young superstar discovering just how intense the playoff pressure cooker can be. In baseball, the Mike Clevinger story takes on new significance as more details surface, raising serious questions about whether the MLB investigation fell well short of doing enough. Dan also shares his thoughts after seeing The Devil Wears Prada 2, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and whether the sequel was worth the wait. We wrap things up, as always, with DBU Picks.
