Recap of Friday's live chat with C.J. Nitkowski

It's the dog days of summer.

Some teams are cookin' — see the Washington Nationals.

Some teams are tankin' —  see the Cincinnati Reds.

And some teams are trying to stay afloat and not let others pass them by in the race for the playoffs — see the Detroit Tigers.

FOX Sports MLB analyst and Whiparound co-host C.J. Nitkowski played for all three of the above teams at some point during his 10-year career — he also pitched for the Rangers, Mets, Braves Yankees and Astros.

On Friday, the retired lefty will be here to talk baseball with you!

Feel free to send him a question in advance and stop on by at 1 p.m. ET for a live chat.

Plus, check out JABO for C.J.'s and the rest of the crew's latest offerings in both full-form and Baseball Joe formats.

Editor's note: Friday's chat is over. Thanks to those who joined in. Below is a recap.
