Summary

Joey called it... the boys are fired up! Joe Maddon's Angels have gone 16-7 since the infamous intentional walk with the bases loaded. The Braves look like they may be turning a corner and are definitely the only chance of our teams collectively finishing above .500. The Red Sox were swept by the White Sox over the weekend and the A's just lost their ninth straight game on Sunday, so it looks like the Braves will have to win at least 100 games to get that done. We also talk about Joe Girardi potentially being on the hot seat in Philly, Taylor Ward absolutely raking for the Angels, George Kirby's debut for Seattle on Mother's Day, the Mets' insane comeback on Friday and if they're for real, Jared getting free chicken fingers at a WWE event, and a little astrology to end the show. Pray for the Red Sox and A's.
