9-3. The Cubs lose their first series and Andy does not take it well. Plus blissful birthday memories and more.

8-1. After sweeping the Reds, Andy is trying to enjoy the moment rather than worry about the future. Good luck.

6-1. Sole possession of 1st place. And Andy prays that the Cubs never give it up.

5-1. The start of a Schwarberless season is here, and Andy's trying to move forward. (By confusing Thom and Marty Brenneman.)

3-0. Schwarber goes down, hot bats, a special new guest, and more.

2-0. A good start is the best that you can hope for.

It's been 165 long days since the Cubs last played a meaningful game, and the wait has nearly killed Andy.
