We couldn't do a show last week for a variety of reasons, but we make it up to you with nearly three hours of fun. We preview the World Series with Anthony Andro of Fox Sports SouthWest and Deadspin founder Will Lietch. We talk a ton of prospects. Our special guest, Rafael Rojas, gives us some fascinating talk about baseball in Venezuela. We have a listener of the week with rock star Riley Breckenridge. We even deliver not one, but two Nots. We hope you enjoy, and somehow make it all the way through, as this show was a lot of fun to do.
Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you.
