Cubs vs. Cardinals: A Friendly Wager

With the Cubs and Cardinals meeting in the Major League Baseball playoffs for the first time ever, we thought it would be fun to make a friendly wager with our colleagues at St. Louis Public Radio.
Our producer, Amanda Honigfort, is a St. Louis native who interned at St. Louis Public Radio. She told us that station general manager Tim Eby is a huge Cardinals fan. Illinois Public Radio's Brian Moline is a big Cubs fan, so the two of them got together to discuss the series and generally give each other a hard time.
The two have also made a friendly wager. If the Cardinals win, Brian will send Tim a WILL travel mug. If the Cubs win, Tim will send a ceramic Morning Edition mug. May the best team win.
