Adam Hoge and Mark Carman bring you “The Beat” LIVE from Ryan Field prior to Northwestern/Ball State. The guys discuss the awkward playoff “celebration” the Cubs engaged in following their 4-0 loss to the Pirates at Wrigley Field and debate whether or not Jake Arrieta should be rested prior to the postseason. Sam Panayotovich checks in from the Friendly Confines after the Cubs’ celebration. Plenty of Wildcats including a conversation with Northwestern athletic director Dr. Jim Phillips, and we check in with former Bears TE Dez Clark as he continues to be an advocate for social change in the Northern suburbs. And of course, the latest in the Patrick Kane saga.
