    3. Marge, is this a happy ending or a sad ending?: The Mariners season will soon end, and that's enough.
    4. Around the Horn: Important updates on the Rockies catching situation and Dodgers playoff rotation (and that's the order of importance), plus can and should the Angels and White Sox play an extra-inning game forever?

    2. How to Get to Heaven from Fort Myers, FL: One of the weirder baseball topics we've had on the pod, as a Twins draft pick gets cut for tipping pitches to the other team in a Florida State League pennant race.

    1. Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hope we can win a game: The AL East race stays tight (due in large part to Wyatt Langford) while the NL Wild Card race tightens up. But mostly the Yankees just can't be normal. 
    2. This is how I win (54% of the time): Jerry Dipoto remains the best Gm at staying employed
    3. That's Chappy: Meanwhile, Matt Chapman will be employed in the Bay Area for a while himself 
    4. What to Watch: We keep sticking Craig with the Dodgers, and Patrick sticks the sickos with the Angels again.
