The Red Sox and Indians played a wild and bizarre game and defies explanation. So I tried to explain it. Meanwhile Steve Bartman should put the World Series ring the Cubs sent him on his middle finger.

I record my predictions before the trade deadline and my thoughts afterwards. My main take away: The Dodgers are serious.

It may not even be August yet, but the Brewers wonderful season could be on the line. They have lost their 5 1/2 game lead in less than 2 weeks and will now be facing the Champion Cubs.

Plus I look at the Rangers team that should have won... and it isn't the team you are probably thinking of.

Friend of the Podcast Eireann Dolan returns to talk about her fiancee Sean Doolittle and his trade to the Washington Nationals. Somehow we talked about The Muppets Take Manhattan and fresh avocados as well.

With the second half of the season looming, the Tigers should look at the White Sox wild rebuilding strategy and say "Hey! WE should do that!"

Plus I remember the Blue Jays team that should have won.

The All Star Break lumbers on. I give some All Star Game rule changes and make a suggestion for the Marlins to honor Satchel Paige.

Meanwhile, the Mets stupidly honor Jose Reyes and I figure out which San Diego Padres team should have won.

Sitting watching my cousin try out for college baseball coaches, I talk about the making of the In Memoriam video. Plus I figure out which year for the Seattle Mariners would be their team that should have won.

The Rays could very well win the American League pennant this year. We all have to be fine with that because it is a great story. They have been a great story for a decade. I pick the Rays team that should have won plus I explain my disdain for fire crackers on this Fifth of July.

Jessie Friedman, host of The Rattle AZ podcast, joins the podcast to talk about the surprising Arizona Diamondbacks. And I decide which Indians team was the one that should have won.

The Nats need to line up their relievers for October NOW. Meanwhile you can talk me into 12 inning limits on games and I pick the Diamondbacks team that should have won.
