185. The lockout ends and Remember This Crap 2011 Cubs - Pointless Exercise Podcast

It's time to spin the wheel of Cubs crap again, but this time the pod starts with the guys talking about the end to the MLB lockout. Then the wheel lands on one of the most inauspicious years in Cubs' history the Mike Quade-led disaster that was the 2011 Cubs. The Cubs traded for Matt Garza, brought in Carlos Pena and brought back Kerry Wood and surprisingly none of that worked. It was the final season for Carlos Zambrano, E-ramis Ramirez and Kosuke Fukudome and we wished it had been the last year for Carlos Marmol and Ryan Dempster. We even dare to re-live the horrible late season ninth-inning collapse that helped the Cardinals squeak into the playoffs.
