Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air! No Pat and Zonk today, apparently.

Let's hope that Volstad's awesomeness makes front page commenter's JayAnderson's head explode.

How many pitches did Volstead throw in the first? I think it took him only 4 minutes to go through the top of the inning.

I like how Volstead is pitching. It sounds like he's trying to get contact so he can let his defense do their job.

Did someone at WGN just turn on a stray microphone in the stands or something?

That microphone must be really close to the crowd.
