In Episode 496, Patrick, Jeffrey, and Craig chat about Junior High elections and Hades II (again), and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.
1. Wild Card Recap: It may have contained some playoff like substance, well except for one series
2. ALDS Preview: Another division showdown, and the Mariners got a bye, which is already basically their World Series
3. NLDS Preview: A big time showdown, and another Central v. Central matchup (this should be better than the AL version)
4. Mr Ex-Manager: Boy, there sure have been a lot of field staff changes this week.
5. Game: Taylor Trammell Award Contenders: Like his Dodgers, Craig is peaking at the right time
