FOJ 88 - In Case We Trust

<p>FOJ 88 was recorded late Wednesday night with both Chicago baseball teams in the playoffs and the Bears fresh off a Monday Night Football shocker. Jason opens with Patrick Kane back in the number 88 Blackhawks sweater, then walks through the White Sox beating the Astros in Houston, Chase Meidroth&#39;s no-doubt homer, and the first Sox playoff series win since 2005. Jeff reports in from Atlanta with a Hyatt Regency Wi-Fi and cold shower rant, plus the story of a flaming pizza box, an ADT fire alarm, and a fire truck in the driveway. The guys cover the Cubs&#39; brutal travel week, Game 1 against the Padres, Pete Crow-Armstrong&#39;s check swing arguments, and whether a first-round exit would make it a failed season. They also debate how short the MLB season should be (Jason says 120 games, Jeff says 100). From there, football: Case Keenum and the Bears&#39; 27-7 win over the Eagles, Ben Johnson&#39;s game plan, Dillon Thieneman and the defense, the Hurts timeout debate, who starts at QB with Caleb Williams out and Tyson Bagent cleared, Caleb&#39;s bathrobe, JJ McCarthy landing with the Giants, Brock Purdy vs Josh Allen, and the FOJ Listener of the Year trophy and coins.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Intro, Patrick Kane in 88, Hawks opener in Vegas</p><p>02:00 Jeff&#39;s Atlanta trip and Bulls hopes with Caleb Wilson</p><p>10:35 Hyatt Regency Atlanta rant: Wi-Fi and the cold shower</p><p>15:19 The flaming pizza box, ADT, and the fire truck</p><p>23:16 White Sox beat the Astros, Meidroth goes deep</p><p>29:17 Why this Sox team hits Jason so hard (2005 flashback)</p><p>31:37 Astros stigma and a get well card for Cruz</p><p>34:17 Jeff jinxes the Cubs, plus their wild travel week</p><p>37:40 Is 162 games too many?
