October is here, so for baseball teams entering into the postseason, the stakes are high. (You'll note the song selection on this week's podcast.)
So on this week's podcast, we're delving into a few of the week's hottest topics with an eye toward the postseason. Here's the big question of the week: Who's the scariest team in the playoffs? If you were an MLB squad, who would you not want to play?
We discuss that, plus which managers might get fired on Monday and even more on the team we can't stop piling on — the Washington Nationals. Our dude Bad News Ramen stops by for another Three Strikes segment, then we do some Important Questions.
Here's a full rundown:
• Intro and sad quarterback talk
• How does the AL West and AL wild-card shake out?
• Who's the scariest team in the postseason?
• A game about which managers will get fired.
• Back to the Future: How would you fix the Nats?
• Three Strikes w/ Bad News Ramen: The $300M Dodgers, Puerto Rican shortstops and Ichiro's quest for 3,000.
• Important questions about fall TV and pitch velocity
