I was wondering if they were ever going to get around to talking about other teams than just the Dodgers. if you want to skip them drooling iver the Dodgers, you have to skip the first 15 minutes of this 51 minute show.
listened to all the post #worldseries breakdowns. this one is one of the very best! focus on all things lining up for the #braves to win the title- great review & highly recommended!
