00:00Double headers today in Chicago with the wind blowing out.

00:04It appears Joe Ranieri, at least I don't think it's blowing in at this point,

00:06but looking at the totals, game number one is an eight, game number two is a nine,

00:11but a 2.20 start in game number one, an 8.05 start in game number two.

00:15Whatever happened to the twilight, the twilight double headers used to call them, Joe.

00:18Come out to the ballpark, we'll tip it off at 4.35.

00:22Next game starts 15 minutes after the first one ends.

00:25I know it's all about commercials and there's not a double header scheduled on purpose

00:28and we'll put the one game early, get everybody with their tickets out of there.

00:32The new tickets come in late.

00:33Whatever happened just to the good old double header of Major League Baseball

00:36that you bought a ticket for one game, you got two games.

00:40Yeah, long gone, right?

00:42That was it.

00:43Now you got to leave the ballpark.

00:44You got to come back in.

00:46You got like, this is absolutely ridiculous.

00:49But this is a huge, huge series, certainly for the Cubs,

00:54who over the last couple of weeks, really since the All-Star break, Donnie,

00:58they have forgotten how to hit.

01:00They have forgotten how to score runs.

01:02They just played an entire series with Pittsburgh and we didn't get one over in the game, Donnie.

01:07Not one over.

01:08Every game stayed woefully under the total.

01:12And that's just been what it has been for the Cubs.

01:14But in the meantime, you got Milwaukee rattling off 14 straight wins.

01:18And guess what?

01:19They're running away with the division here.

01:22The Cubs cannot lose this series and they need to start it off on the right foot.

01:26But the problem is, I don't know that that's going to happen with Freddy Peralta.

01:30The bullpen of the Brewers has been worked here over the last week.

01:34They didn't have to work him yesterday.

01:36They just refused to do it.

01:38But Freddy Peralta might have to get a few innings out of him in order to be able to save that bullpen.

01:44I still like Milwaukee.

01:46If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

01:47I don't trust the Cubs offense.
