## Resource

Chris & Tom allow the enemy into the building, as they have ESPN 1000 host David Kaplan on the show to talk about the Cubs beating up on the Cardinals across Games 1 & 2, why the Cubs are starting to win in the second half, the unknowns that Chicago is still dealing with thanks to their pitching, why the deadline is a chance for the Cubs to go for it, why Kaplan is holding their feet to the fire, his thoughts on the Cardinals chances to turn things around quickly and why he's getting sick of the Brewers beating everyone without having to spend.
