## Resource

Alex Cohen and Lance Brozdowski look back on Edward Cabrera's dominant Cubs debut and Ian Happ's hot start to the 2026 season, and introduce the pod's first fan mail segment with Cubs Charities auction winner Peter Komlofske.  Speaking of firsts, our very own JD -- Jim Deshaies -- joins the show for our first memory of the 2016 World Series championship win, as the Cubs return to Cleveland for a three-game series against the Guardians.
