Laurence Holmes opened his show by explaining why he has never had a pet and why cats are plotting to kill their owners. Paul Sullivan of the Tribune then joined the show to discuss president of baseball operations Theo Epstein's departure from the Cubs, the White Sox's hiring Tony La Russa as manager and the Marlins' hiring of Kim Ng as the first female general manager in North American men's sports history. Later, Holmes continued his dog-vs.-cat discussion and shared some corrections that his mom sent in.
