#kap & Gordon are back with the latest happenings with the #chicagocubs as the calendar turns to June.  Yes, the #cubs have some issues, like most teams, but unlike most teams, the Cubs are 15 games over .500 and one of the best offenses in all of baseball.  Kap poses the question to Gordon - is this season #worldseries or bust?  Kap believes it is, while Gordon believes getting there would be enough.  The duo argue over who the Cubs should be all-in on acquiring at the trade deadline, and what exactly, 'all-in' looks like.  #tomricketts needs to open up the checkbook and do whatever it takes in a 'wide-open' race to be serious World Series contenders.Per usual, it's a spirited edition of the Cubs REKAP Podcast - and it all starts right now!#takethat You are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

#kap and #gordonwittenmyer are joined by #guff as the trio debate, and sometimes very heated, the best player at every position from the last 25 years in Chicago. This discussion included players from both the #chicagocubs and #whitesox, with only one player at each position earning the nod, respectively. There were some heated debates at catcher between #willsoncontreras & #ajpierzynski, left handed pitcher with #markbuerhle #jonlester & #chrissale, as well as 1st base between #paulkonerko #anthonyrizzo & #joseabreu. The in-depth discussion brings back blasts from the past and goes in detail about what each player brings to the debate and why, in the end, they deserve it. This includes manager between #ozzieguillen & #joemaddon.#takethatYou are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

The guys talk about #cadehorton and his major league debut.

As we approach May, the #chicagocubs have proven to be one of the better teams in baseball. Atop the #nlcentral, they've played the toughest schedule in baseball that includes their entire season series against the #losangelesdodgers, #sandiegopadres & #arizonadiamondbacks.  Despite having holes in the bullpen, 3rd base and the rotation, the #cubs offense has proven one of the best in #mlb, led by superstar slugger #kyletucker.  #kap and Gordon discuss the state of the club and how they proceed into May as the schedule softens and the Cubs try to figure out how to proceed to fill the gaps they have in their roster. Gordon computes that the Cubs are on pace to win 95 games, while Kap playfully goes at GW after an earlier podcast discussed whether we'd know if the Cubs would win the NL Central by the end of April. It's the Cubs REKAP Podcast brought to you by the #illinoistollway#takethatYou are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis.
