Our World Series picks - before the World Series started
It didn't look too good after #bluejays shellacked the #Dodgers in game one. Mark and Gordon make their picks and check out what they picked!

We think Dave Roberts might already be a HOF manager. But after having to manage/overmanage the bullpen on the way to the title in 2024, Roberts has the luxury of starters that go deep into games which lessens the need bullpen studs. Good thing too since this season the Dodger…
A-Rod apparently claimed that Toronto vs. L.A. is a 'Goliath vs. Goliath' series. We like A-Rod but cannot figure out what he was talking about! Check out the clip from our podcast today https://youtu.be/IRF0hYmx9co Thanks for watching!
#Bluejays found their groove in Seattle winning the series 4-3 over the #Mariners in 7 interesting and often exciting games. #Dodgers dominated #Brewers who could only muster 4 runs in 4 games. A George Springer dinger made the difference in game 7. Shohei Ohtani had the greatest single game a…
We felt pretty confident in #dodgers and we both like the #mariners but felt the #bluejays were going to be tough. That has not worked out so well so far!
#cubs walked Shohei Ohtani in game 1 of the NLDSk, preferring to face All-Star Mookie Betts. Mookie took offense in 2 ways. First walking with the bases filled to give the #dodgers the lead. Apparently still mad about it, in game 2 Betts suggested and orchestrated the baseball "Wheel Play"…
Kyle Schwarber is a FA, so is Ranger Suarez & JT Realmulto. #phillies were a very good team in 2025 winning NL East by 13.5 games. But they were built to win this year. #Braves will be better in 2026 & #Mets will spend $ to compete. What does Philly…
Did you stay up late to watch game one of the ALCS Sunday night the 12th? #Mariners and #BlueJays both entered the American League in 1977. Toronto has won 2 World Series but the Mariners have never won a pennant. Will they get past the Jays who have the home…
Newest Yankee Ryan McMahon found himself upside down in the Red Sox dugout after he caught the final out of the 2025 AL Wild Card series at Yankee Stadium. Would the Red Sox let him get out of there alive? How did he feel? How did the Red Sox feel?
Craig Counsell used to manage the Brew Crew but left them to manage the Chicago Cubs who paid him more money than any manager has ever received. Milwaukee must be LOVING beating their departed former manager and thumping the Cubs in game one of the NLDS. Will the Cubs fight…
It was quite a week in #mlb! #Dodgers subdued #Reds but not before a little excitement in game 2. #Phillies will be a much tougher test and the series started in Philly. #Cubs were better than #Padres but is that enough as they head to Milwaukee to face #Brewers over…
Houston #Astros won 87 games this year but missed out on the 3rd AL Wild Card. #reds only won 83 in the NL but made it into the Wild Card. Few will shed tears for the Astros missing out except for 'Stros fans! Could they have beaten Cleveland had Detroit…
After a 45-29 start the Mets flopped to a 35-53 record the rest of the 2025 season. Big payrolls don't necesarily translate into wins. The Mets spent more than $4M per win for all of their 83 wins. Fans came out to Citi Field like never before - the most…
#Mets fans like we are might be relieved that the nightmare finish to the season is finally over. Sure making the playoffs would have been great, but #Reds deserved it more & getting spanked by #Dodgers would have been up next for the boys from Citi Field. #Phillies look good…
#yankees Aaron Judge was hitting .400 into June this year and on such a torrid pace that all-time records were in danger. He couldn't maintain that pace. Cal Raleigh has led #mariners into first place and has the most home runs ever by a catcher in a single season. Which…
#mets have three rookies in their starting rotation in the heat of a playoff run. #Bluejays have Trey Yesavage making big starts down the stretch. What the heck is going on with untested pitchers being tossed into the heat of a pennant race? Did #Dodgers set this trend last year…
We talked about #phillies Trea Turner being the NL's only .300 hitter although #cubs Nico Hoerner is on the doorstep. How about exactly zero no-hitters thrown in Major League #baseball this year?
Mike Trout hit his 400th home run. Remember when he was the best player in #MLB? We started the show talking about Ep. 628 where we talked with author Jane Leavy about her new book - Make Me Commissioner - I know what's wrong with baseball and how to fix…
Author Jane Leavy wrote the book on Sandy Koufax - "A Lefty's Legacy" , so who better to talk about the incredible stress Sandy put on his golden left arm and why it shortened his brilliant career.
Best-selling baseball author Jane Leavy joined our podcast to discuss her new book "Make Me Commissioner. I Know What's Wrong With Baseball And How To Fix It". We talked about pitcher arms and associated injuries from throwing too damn hard. Is there a limit to what the human body can…
We're so excited to have had the chance to talk with former Washington Post baseball writer and best-selling author Jane Leavy join the podcast. Her new book "Make Me Commissioner - I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It" is fascinating and yet a love letter from…
Yankees trade deadline acquisition Jose Caballeros leads the AL in stolen bases & is a solid defender. Anthony Volpe has had a rough season defensively and with the bat. Could Volpe be put on the bench in the playoffs? From this week's podcast.
#Pirates have had another pretty miserable season. But with their pitching led by Paul Skenes they have 17 shutouts - most of them combined shutouts. The problem is that if they don't toss a shutout they have a .364 winning %. They also have swept good teams #dodgers #tigers #phillies…
Author Jane Leavy has a new book "Make me commissioner. I know what's wrong with baseball and how to fix it." She will be a guest on our next podcast and in the book noted that 12 year olds now want to know how fast they are throwing on the…
