| 0:05.8 | Hello, everyone, and welcome in to Sports Talk Chicago, |
| 0:08.1 | where we're picking out our winners and losers from this Chicago Sports Weekend. |
| 0:11.4 | I'm Joey Christopoulos. |
| 0:12.4 | Follow me at Joey's Sports Guy. |
| 0:13.7 | Let's dive right into it, a lot to talk about. |
| 0:15.8 | First of all, our big loser of the weekend, the Chicago Cubs, Craig Counsel, Jed Hoyer, Tom Ricketts, the fan base, |
