New episode is up and Adam & Kevin have a lot to talk about! After a terrific sweep of the Giants the Cubs lost the first three to the suddenly hot Arizona Diamondbacks, wasting stellar starts from Taillon and Cy Steele in the process. The Cubbies managed to salvage the final game of the series Sunday and won a nail biter in Colorado last night. With only 17 games left to play in the regular season, the Cubs trail the Brewers by 3 games for the division lead, the Phillies by 1.5 games for the WC lead, and are currently listed with an 87.4% chance to make the playoffs. Let's get it done! Follow us at @awaygamespod on all the things and follow @adammamawala & @kevinmccaff! Leave us a five star rating, would you? Oh, and go see Adam headline Zanies Old Town in Chicago on Tuesday, September 19th!!
New episode is up and Adam & Kevin have a lot to talk about! After an impressive 8 game winning streak that featured multiple HR robberies, Miles Mikolas acting like an absolute dink, and the bats coming alive, the Cubs played themselves into being buyers at the deadline. Two Monday deals added former Cub Jeimer Candelario and KC right reliever Jose "je ne sais" Cuas. At one game over .500 and right back in the mix for the division/WC, can the Cubs string together another run of solid baseball?

The Cubs are division champs, and are going to the weirdest playoffs of all time! Adam & Kevin talk about round one against the Marlins, expectations for the playoffs overall, the resurgence of Kris Bryant who doesn’t give a sh*t, and the playoff roster. We also make our picks for each first round playoff series. Let’s get weird! Twitter/Instagram: @awaygamespod
Thank God for David Bote! A Cubs comeback in game 2 of Monday’s doubleheader with the Cardinals saved the Cubs from an even deeper losing streak. Adam & Kevin talk about a weekend of blown leads against Milwaukee, a disappearing offense, the always incredible Anthony Rizzo, some love for Jeremy Jeffress and hope for Kimbrel, and the idiocy surrounding the great Fernando Tatis Jr. and his wonderful 3-0 bomb. Off to kiss David Bote! Twitter & Instagram: @awaygamespod
Cubs Podcast…on a roof! Adam & Kevin are podcasting from the same location for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, from atop a roof…in New York. The Cubs are (small sample size alert) elite, led by an incredible starting rotation. David Ross the Manager is coming into focus, the bullpen is becoming less bad, while Kimbrel remains a mystery, and we just hope the Marlins and Cardinals don’t ruin everything.

Hey! It was a great 7-2 homestand, a less great start to the road trip, but we all agree on one thing: it's time for the best 25 Cubs to be on the actual friggin' Cubs. Adam & Kevin talk about how it's time for this front office to stop wasting time and bring up Happ, while jettisoning Descalso and Russell. We are also joined by Bill Marovitz (30 minute mark), producer of "Miracle The Musical" about the 2016 Chicago Cubs. Now THAT was a good roster! Follow us!

Um, so, the Cubs have been kinda not good for a while now. Is that real? Is this a "lull"? Why can't we have nice things? Adam & Kevin talk about Cubs all-stars, players who should no longer be on the roster (and players who should!) looking ahead to the trade deadline and Whit Merrifield rumors, and the Cubs making a splash in the IFA signings, specifically with a big power-hitting catcher.

Adam & Kevin are both back on the pod, live, for the first time in 3 weeks, and with very little Cubs news going on, this is all about Adam telling the story of going to Randy Rosario's house in the Dominican Republic. For real, that happened, it's nuts, and Randy is a great guy. This is a fun one! Follow us!

Well, it's been a week. The Cubs refuse to hit with runners on, and only hit one solo homer a game, every game. They traded for Daniel Murphy, and Kevin & Adam talk about what that means both on the field, and off. We debate what it means to be a fan, wanting to root for good people, and being disappointed in the team you root for. But hey! At least Adam & Kevin are back in the same place this week!

Adam & Kevin spent the weekend watching the Cubs sweep the Mets in Queens, and we get into it!

Thankfully, the season is ACTUALLY here! Adam & Kevin talk about week 1 of the Cubs 2018 season, from Happ's explosive start to the weird, annoying end of the first weekend in Florida. Good bullpen, iffy starting, Kyle Hendricks as everyday hero, and a fun tweet from Dexter Fowler to remind us that we're at peak "small sample size" season. We're back next week after the Cincinnati & Milwaukee series, and hopefully in an even beter mood once Kevin gets back from Wrestlemania in New Orleans. Follow us!

Before real baseball starts up, Adam & Kevin banter about a bunch of fun things, but MOSTLY, about their 2016 experiences, including: Kevin bailing on a standup weekend to come home to Chicago for the duration of the series; Adam flying out and heading to game 5 solo to sit in the bleachers; Adam returning to Brooklyn where he had a tumultuous game 7 experience while Kevin & his brothers bounced around Chicago, ending up on the streets outside Wrigley, and oh...so much more. Next week: the 2018 season preview with Cubs expert, BP Wrigleyville writer, funny comedian, and soon-to-return prodigal son of Chicago: Ken Schultz! Follow us!

In this first episode, Adam & Kevin talk about how they became Cubs fans, and why they're doing this podcast now.
