Donnie RightSide and Kevin Walsh have you covered for a summer week in sports. They kick things off with DeAndre Hopkins rumors as he is still a free agent, is it destined for him to be a Patriot, or will he land somewhere else? Also, has Bill lost his ability to attract star FA's and WR's now that Brady is no longer with him? Then, they jump into the HR derby and all the bets on the board. They break them all down including longest HR hitter, longest HR distance, player to win the event, and more! After - they break down the MLB All Star game and who they think will win the game. All this, your calls, their bets, and more!

Friend of the show, Holly Simonette, is the only human we know personally who has attended an MLB game in person this season. She joins us to tell us about her (death-defying) visit to Globe Life Field, including confrontations with both that f’n chop, and possibly rattlesnake-based concessions.

Pottymouth uses her teacher’s voice in our annual vocabulary lesson about “Games Seven,” which we enjoy saying and really enjoy watching. The Rays are suddenly America’s Team and getting framed as Good triumphing over Evil. Patti’s BF Brandon Lowe may finally be getting out of his post season slump (now would be great). Pottymouth celebrates ALCS MVP Randy Arozarena.  The NLCS game 7 was the battle of the Pottymouth bfs, and provided one more opportunity to pick on amazing athlete Cody Bellinger. And then we make predictions, which are weirdly identical.

The CPBL and KBO are winding up and hijinks ensue, begging the question "funny? or dick move?" and Winter Leagues are just getting started. The posting period -- the time when Korean teams are able to make their players available to MLB teams -- has been postponed due to the pandemic. The soon-to-be announced Player’s Choice award winners are loaded with NCiB boyfriends, surprising no one.

It turns out that strong and steady won out over magic and momentum in the Division Series.  We are grateful to Mike Brosseau for a moment of poetic justice as he hit the series winning homer off of Aroldis Chapman.  We will miss the joy that the Padres bandwagon brought to us and yet we hopped on the Rays train pretty fast after the dance off.  Patti learns how to pronounce Arozarena, because Pottymouth already called dibs on next year’s boyfriend so we’ll be saying it a lot. We examine our biases around Manny Machado and Cody Bellinger. 

We applaud the Supreme Court decision to let the minor league case proceed as a class action suit for minimum wage for players. There are rants around the Appalachian League now being a collegiate wooden bat play-for-free league, and a why the heck are fans going to be in the stands for the NLCS and WS rant. We like the Dodgers Drive in much better.  And then there is heartbreak. The soon-to-be-ex-wife of Patti’s very first baseball boyfriend, Omar Vizquel, has publicly accused him of abuse. The red wine and talk therapy are helping, and we believe women, so we have to work through the pain. We are dealing with A Lot Of Stuff.

We can always count on International Baseball.  Turns out the CPBL is not as over as we thought.
