The World Series is halfway set, so while we await the winner of the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, this week's podcast finds Mike and Chris pondering the further potential of the Mets. Spoiler: One of us thinks the Mets is winning regardless of who they play. The other? So much.
We're also talking about when exactly the Chicago Cubs will win a World Series, whether people should still be outraged about playoff hero Daniel Murphy's comments about gays before the baseball season and lots more. Heck, we even try to fit the playoff teams into the Harry Potter houses and talk about the "Star Wars" trailer. Bad News Ramen joins us again for his Three Strikes segment, in which we talk about the best and worst duos of all-time, inspired by Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto.
