It's the Wednesday edition! The guys open the show reacting to the Brewers falling in Game 3 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres last night. Is anyone feeling nervous energy yet about the remainder of the series? What do Tausch and Jesse want to see from the lineup (including the pitchers) tonight in Game 4? And Bryan Bulaga joins for his weekly appearance to break down an improved Packers offensive line plus look ahead to the Packers-Bears rivalry on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

1. The Brewers remain in San Diego looking to advance to the NLCS.

2. The candidates for Wisconsin governor are crisscrossing the state with the election now less than a month away.

3. The convicted murderer who survived her own execution last week remains hospitalized in Memphis.

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss Christa Pike’s failed execution, her future under the death penalty and whether the justice system gives enough consideration to a person’s background. They also examine protests and economic challenges in France, President Trump’s name appearing on passports, Brewers baseball, diversity in MLB and the ongoing struggle facing local news—including declining Journal Sentinel subscribers and questions about media objectivity.

Hammer and Emmett debate the Guards' pitching choices for Game 3 and talk Browns-Jets. Plus, Aaron "Drops the Hammer."

RBS HR 3 - Rizz and Hammer talk Deshaun Watson and listen to his press conference. They also listen to soundcheck and fan voicemails.

Carmen and Jurko keep White Sox blackout day rolling as the Sox get ready for Game 3 against the Guardians at Rate Field. The guys discuss Sean Newcomb as the opener, Daniel Espino’s big fastball, Grant Taylor’s possible availability and the growing mystery around who will throw out the first pitch. Callers offer guesses ranging from Father Tom Hurley and Joakim Noah to Jonathan Toews, Bo Jackson, Tim Anderson and even Pope Leo. The hour also includes Padres-Brewers talk, Mason Miller’s possible pitch tipping, Pat Murphy’s live-game frustration and whether Cubs fans really hate Milwaukee. The Brunch Rush brings Packer week back into focus with Matt LaFleur’s rivalry comments, the Bears heading to Green Bay as a favorite and the changing feel of Bears-Packers.

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to assess the NFC, where he sees the 49ers, Seahawks and Rams among the teams capable of emerging from the conference. Schefter discusses the NFL’s flood of penalties and recent suspensions of officials before weighing in on a Bears-Packers matchup that has lost some of its preseason luster. He reacts to Green Bay’s unusual attempt to rebuild its offensive line on the fly with Kevin Zeitler, Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. Schefter also explains why Keisean Nixon could make sense as a trade candidate if the Packers continue losing and become sellers before the deadline. Plus, Schefter and Chewy swap stories about the Amalfi Coast.

Carmen and Jurko open White Sox blackout day with the Sox one win away from the ALCS and Rate Field suddenly becoming the hottest ticket in town. The guys preview Game 3 against Cleveland, including Sean Newcomb opening for the Sox, Daniel Espino opening for the Guardians and the bullpen questions that could decide the afternoon. They also discuss the wild ticket prices, the chance for the Sox to clinch a postseason series at home for the first time in more than a century and why avoiding another trip to Cleveland is so important. The hour turns into a draft of who might throw out the ceremonial first pitch, with names like Barack Obama, Ozzie Guillen, Michael Jordan, Hawk Harrelson, Derrick Rose, Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle and more in the mix. Plus, even on a Sox-heavy morning, the guys keep Packer Week alive as the Bears head to Green Bay as a road favorite with Tyson Bagent likely starting.
