Sports Illustrated’s Emma Baccellieri joins Drew and Roth on the eve of the World Series. They dive into why the Rangers are so good, examine the continuous Rich-Boy-Heel Vibes of the defeated Astros, and give equal weight to the Phillies and Diamondbacks becuase we didn’t know who was moving on yet. And as always, we dive into the Funbag!

About The Show

From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
