In our 2016 season finale, we talked about the world series, pancake podcasts, and Pat Neshek.

Toronto! Players with funny names! A plot summary of King Ralph for some reason!

We get everyone in the same room for a change to talk playoffs, and Tim commits a war crime with the bumper music.

We play "If I ran the zoo" with special guest Peter Whalen. The Bronx would look a lot different if he were a Steinbrenner.

We talk Buck Showalter's likeability, nearly getting October travel right, and the Arizona Fall League.

We welcome special guest Peter Whalen to hear Max pretend he's not deeply saddened by the Red Sox exit from the playoffs.

Music: "Smile" Isaiah Rashad

None of us know how to balance feeling somber and making terrible jokes to deal with the loss of Jose Fernandez. 

Tim and Josh talk about the NL playoff race (aka hot dogs in Chicago, trips to Pittsburgh, and why the Dodgers are weird) and the Hall of Very good. 

Music: True Neutral Crew "X-Files Clan (GRYPT remix)"

Max had an old gypsy curse put on him, but luckily Tim and Josh are still around to talk Tim Tebow signing with the Mets and the AL Playoff stretch. 

Minor league foods, when it's okay to root for the wrong player, and the Fastball documentary.

Music: The Eternals "Espiritu Zombi"
