How are you guys?

We're good.

We're not the ones who saw the walk-off last night after what seemed like a million-hour rain delay and beat a Reds team that is playing really well.

How are you?

Well, that's a ringing endorsement, Ian, and the fact that it was oppo, too.

I feel like there was just so much to it, and I appreciate you shining some light on it.

Another thing that we always like to talk about with you is just your experience as a veteran, and I was surprised to see that even this is new.

that this is the most games won at Wrigley in a row now, 12 straight, since 2008.

That's quite a feat.

What is the atmosphere like?

Even last night, after the rain delay, you still got so many fans, and the place was just erupting after that walk-off.

I think a really good example of that, Ian, was the various ways that the Cubs were able to beat the Diamondbacks.

You had the 6-5 win on Friday, 2-0 on Saturday behind Shota Imanaga.

You get a triple in that one.

And then the 8-4 win on Sunday.

What do you think about just the various ways, even in that series, I think you saw so many different ways to win a game.

Not every team can do that.

Ian, I think I've talked to you about this in your many years.

How superstitious are you?

Okay, I don't want to bring it up directly, but I think you know why I'm asking you this question.
