The Blue Jays rallied to take Game 4 of the World Series and tie things up, just a day after losing to the Dodgers in 18-innings. Were the Dodger feeling the effects of the 18-innings more? If anybody had an excuse to be a little less than perfect, it was Shohei, pitching after being on base 9 times the day before. It seemed like the Dodgers were built to take this series in 4 or 5 games, but now we will have a game 6 and head back to Toronto. With the current state of Mariners hangover/depression, are we able to look at this season and recognize that this team doesn't suck and hasn't sucked? These aren't the “same ol' Mariners.” :30- College football is once again a little out-of-control and this time, it's all about the coaches as firings and buyouts are costing a lot of money. Is this sustainable? We talked to Rick Neuheisel about it! :45- The Kraken managed an exciting come-from-behind point last night after falling into a 3-0 hole against the Canadiens. The 3rd period was all they needed to erase the deficit and send the game to OT. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Manage Angerment… yes, you read that correctly. Is it out of the realm of possibility to think that Dan Wilson is not back next year? There's some strange things happening in MLB managing- the Giants hired a college coach, the Angels hired Kurt Suzuki on a one-year deal and Scott Servais is being talked about for several open spots.

The Mariners season comes to an abrupt ending after last night's Game 7 loss. There are going to be plenty of questions and conversations surrounding the Mariners pitching decisions when Springer came up to bat and those will probably haunt us for awhile. Woo, Munoz, Bazardo or someone else, we will always wonder “what if” a different decision had been made, what could have been? Leo Rivas was given a golden opportunity and he wasn't able to cash in during this series, in fact, the entire bottom of the order was a hole. :30- RYON HEALY joins the show for one final time this postseason as we get his thoughts on pitching decisions, at-bats and more from Game 7 of the ALCS. :45- It may be too early to hear it, but the Mariners future is bright and hopefully this offseason continues to prove that.

TJ Watt and the Steelers agreed to a 3-year extension with an AAV of $41 million, making him the new highest paid defensive player. // With Nick Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo finally signing their rookie contracts, what does this tell us about the Seahawks and how they are operating? The guys give us their takes on what this new style of wanting fully guaranteed money for rookie contracts means for this organization and the NFL. // During the All-Star break, Jerry Dipoto caught up some of the media to talk about the trade deadline. He feels like we have a fairly complete roster and would be looking for a move that would be meaningful. He is aware that there some rental players that would fit in this clubhouse but nothing is certain. How are we feeling about these statements?
