| 0:10.1 | Good morning, afternoon and evening Chicago baseball fans. This is Barstool Carl and Wutz-Lax-D. |
| 0:15.9 | And this is Redline radio episode 16. The Cubs in Contana kind of suck right now. Dave your thoughts. |
| 0:22.5 | I'm just down in the dumps. This is not going to be a fun show or really really pissed off, |
| 0:27.9 | but it's more than that. It's where it's like when you get in trouble with your parents for getting caught boozing in high school, |
| 0:33.6 | they're not mad at you. They're disappointed because you just continue pulling the same shit over and over and over again. |
| 0:39.8 | And eventually they just kind of give up and you say, you know what you are what you are. There's no end in sight. |

| 1:32.1 | Like I am not ready for this. I was not ready after a seven and two home stand to go out west and just watch the boys get their asses kicked by |
| 1:40.8 | one good team and one really really really bad team and I didn't expect to watch Jose Contana give up two absolute |
| 1:49.6 | BBs to Devin Marrero who have in my opinion is a complete bum of a player. I mean listen when he went in the first round out of Arizona |
