Summary

The Nationals have finally made the World Series and I'd like to take a little credit for that [0:06]. How did we manage to break the trophy after winning the pennant in 2003 [5:07]? Roger Goodell continues to address the public as if we're all fools [8:33]. Yes, tanking is real. Yes, there's an officiating problem [10:05]. No, Roger, we don't believe you. Jalen Ramsey's trade request reaffirms my opinion that a player revolt is ongoing [11:48]. How should owners handle this? Joe Maddon gets to return home to Anaheim to manage the Angels, but what sort of mess is he walking into [16:26]? Do executives root for players they traded away? 'Screwball' is the Review of the Day (I can't believe I compliment Billy Corben) [31:35]. We end with more baseball - the ALCS Game 4 being postponed and how this impacts the series, and how much money will Gerrit Cole get in free agency [35:01] #waittosee.

0:00.0	The Nationals win the pennant. The Nationals win the pennant. Oh my God. The Nationals win the pennant.
0:12.5	Welcome to nothing personal with David Samson. It is October 16, 2019.
0:18.9	And for the first time since 1933, we can say there will be a World Series game in Washington, DC.
0:28.8	How they did it and the convincing fashion in which they did it was staggering.
0:34.0	For those of you who tuned into the game last night, you saw what you couldn't believe you saw.
0:38.7	That's right. It was over OVER in the first inning. Seven runs Dakota Hudson could not get an
0:46.0	out for the Cardinals. Now you're saying that was your pick of the day yesterday. Yes, it was. How's
0:51.1	it possible that the Cardinals could not show up defensive blunders offensive complete inability to
0:58.4	get hits to score runs. Then they made the game close seven to four, but it did not matter.
1:03.4	The Nationals were destined. They definitely seemed like the Marlins team of O3 that I was a part
1:08.6	of destined to win a World Series. They're going to have to get maybe past those Yankees that we
1:13.4	had to get past or maybe it will be the Astros. Maybe that'll be my way to see. But what I loved
1:19.7	about yesterday was seeing those fans delivering a penance to a city. I can't explain it for those
1:27.1	of you in cities where there's not a lot of winning and there's a lot of cities out there that would
1:31.7	love the history of the Marlins that would love the history now of the Nationals. For example,
1:36.0	in Seattle, for those of you listening in Seattle, you've never been to a World Series.
1:40.6	But if the Los Angeles Dodgers, you have a one-of-world series out there in California since 1988,
1:45.9	but look at what these Nationals did. They came together as a team. They were 12 games under
1:51.8	and they came back to win the penance. In 2003, the Marlins were 10 games under and they came
1:57.4	back to win the penance. What does it take to actually accomplish that? The first thing is it
2:01.8	requires patience. So therefore, that's right. It is a miracle that we actually won this ring because
2:09.0	I had no patience back in 2003. We were fiery managers. We were getting rid of players. We were
