The one to the north. The World Series. The two baseball writers discuss whether the Los Angeles Dodgers, who may not be ruining baseball, might just be ruining the National League. The Dodgers are playing for their ninth World Series championship -- a total that would tie them with the Boston Red Sox and Nomadic Athletics. It would also put them three titles shy of leapfrogging the Cardinals' historic trademark trait and overtaking them as the pre-eminent National League team when it comes to trophies. Author of "The Grandest Stage: A History of the World Series," Kepner offers perspective on the Dodgers' chances while also detailing what this World Series means to Don Mattingly and how the Blue Jays can overtake the favorites from Hollywood. There is a story about an autographed baseball, too. To quote Kepner: "Cue that jaunty music." Kepner joins the Best Podcast in Baseball from Toronto, where he's covering the World Series as a senior writer for The Athletic and baseball writer for the New York Times. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

Only one hour tonight, but there's still a lot to unpack from yesterday's gambling investigation arrests. After hearing from Adam Silver earlier in the week, the NBA commissioner might've known this domino was going to drop and now has the task of fixing it. Then, only nine games in, but its getting dangerously close for the Bruins to pack everything in and start a new without Don Sweeney. And, with the World Series starting tonight, the game of baseball would benefit greatly from a repeat by the Dodgers.

The Boston Red Sox have a big winter ahead of them, and so does ITM. Joey Copponi and Scott Neville discuss the biggest questions around the Red Sox this offseason, and the future of the podcast. That, and much more!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 27: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Today is the dawn of Trump’s new policy: destroy America. Literally. Well, destroy part of the WHITE HOUSE – Literally. And steal $230 million from the government and pretend he’s going to give it to charity; AND give away 172 million dollars for two private jets for Kristi Noem; AND give Ukraine and eventually Europe to Putin, AND make America a one-party nation, AND get elected Democrats killed, AND destroy America. Literally. Well, ok, describing this as Trump’s new policy to destroy, steal, give away AND get elected Democrats killed - that’s not ENTIRELY fair. Because it’s not really NEW. He has long tried to stochastically encourage violence against opponents, but now key minions like Tom Emmer and Tom Homan talk about the quote “terrorist wing” of the Democratic party, and, Presto! A January 6th traitor Trump personally pardoned tries to assassinate Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Looks like cause and effect to me. Josh Marshall just invoked imagery I used in 2016 and he’s right: Trump has entered (actually RE-entered) the stage in which he is the omnipotent petulant child, Anthony, from the terrifying Twilight Zone episode “It’s A Good Life" who could destroy the world and kill people just by thinking it. Josh is right. I was right. Trump is now destroying just because it gives him something to do. And because in his psychosis it no longer matters whether he's constructing or deconstructing, it only matters that HE does it. ALSO: The Democrats can stop self-flagellating. Party identification has now swung back away from the Republicans and the seven-point margin is nearly as big as the Dems' was in 2012. So let's focus instead on taking out the trash like Graham Platner. For 17 years or so, the populist Maine Democrat somehow didn't know that was a nazi tattoo on his chest, which I suppose is possible. But when it was going to come out, instead of going right to a tattoo parlor and holding a news conference explaining and apologizing as they turned it into something else, he released a drunken video and waited three days to (supposedly) actually fix the problem. He has no judgment. None. Get out. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Doing the right thing for the wrong reason. Bob Iger and Disney didn't walk back the Jimmy Kimmel firing because of justice and the 1st Amendment. They did it because of a boycott. The Andrew Cuomo self-destruction tour continues as he confuses the New York Jets and the New York Mets. And The Washington Post columnist who said we'd be fine whether Hillary or Trump was elected is back with more stupidity. C-Block (49:12) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: This time of year, 51 years ago, I was about to sign up to go to Boston University when a radio student there gave me the inside story of the limitations undergrads faced. He talked me out of it. I was 15 and he was 20 and his name was Howard Stern.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are the most heartbreaking losses in the history of sports? How high does the Mariners defeat at the hands on the Toronto Blue Jays rank on the list?

Ian is joined by Alex Speier this week for a wide-ranging discussion about all things Red Sox.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show on Tuesday, October 21st, 2025.

Its all about parity in the final hour starting with the NBA and how it's bad not to have an established favorite in the league. Are there any teams that you can guarantee will be championship contenders? Then, the longer the NFL season goes, the harder it is to find the truly great teams among others discussed in the Arcand Fire. And, a troubling trend of crime rings for Lego products in Clickbait.

The third hour starts with the headlines about Brad Marchand's return and the Celtics' opening night tomorrow. Why the hopes are not that high for the Bruins knocking off Marchand's new team and a championship season from the C's. Then, the New England Nightly News features New England being well-represented in a recent list of the safest cities in the United States. And, we commemorate National "Back to the Future" Day.

A lot to discuss including the biggest takeaway in the NFL from Week 7, if Albert Pujols would make a good manager, and an early steam chaser for Week 8 in the Arcand Fire.

The crew breaks down what happened Monday night. Baker Mayfield's poor performance boosted Drake Maye's MVP odds and the Toronto Blue Jays will face the Dodgers in the World Series.

Segment - The Boston Red Sox are set for an important offseason after a playoff appearance. Jones and Keefe discuss some of the additions the team will look to make to return to October baseball.

Should Brad Marchand be boo'd by fans in his return to Boston tonight?

It's still thought of as the World Series to which all other World Series' are compared. The Boston Red Sox vs the Cincinnati Reds. A classic 7-game series that had as much drama, controversy, rain, Hall of Famers, and unforgettable moments as baseball fans could ever hope for. The Big Red Machine was a juggernaut in '75 led by Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Tony Perez and their Hall of Fame skipper Sparky Anderson. Yet, the upstart Red Sox were matching them at every turn with Rookie of the Year/MVP Fred Lynn, Yaz, El Tiante and Carlton Fisk playing inspiring baseball. The only thing that could stop either of these teams was Mother Nature. Rain interrupted the series on mud;tiple occasions, but once they got on the field… some of the most thrilling baseball ever played was on full display. None more thrilling than the 12th inning home run by Carlton Fisk that ended a captivating Game 6 and sent the series to a 7th game. The shot of Fisk waving the ball fair as it hugged the left field line and then bounced off the foul pole is a moment that has stood the test of time for half a century and will be forever remembered by baseball fans as long as they still play this game. The starting pitcher for Game 7 for Boston was Bill Lee… the Spaceman. One of the gams true characters and at this time, one of the games best left-handed starters. The winner of 17 games in 1975, Lee had thrown 8 beautiful innings in Game 2 only to leave in the 9th when the Reds rallied for a 3-2 win. Now, in Game 7, he once again tossed 6 innings and came out with the lead in the 7th only to see the Reds rally again. Two wonderful starts for Lee, two no decisions… and a lifetime of what if's… 50 years later, the Spaceman is still as outrageous and entertaining as he was back in Boston in the mid 70's. He tells us how he couldn't stand Don Zimmer as a manager and how wearing a Rolling Stones shirt cost him and the Red Sox the 1972 AL East Division. He recalls how as a teenager he had a job as locksmith and locked some of the most famous people in the world out of their own houses. He tells us how he almost died on the pitching mound pitching for the Savannah Bananas and how he's lucky to still be alive. And mostly, he just tells us all sorts of things you can't believe happened… but they did.  One of the most revered and loved Red Sox pitchers in their storied history… Bill The Spaceman Lee on the Past Our Prime podcast… Listen and download wherever you get your podcasts.

The show opened with a fun chat about how “knowing your freeways” has become a strange Southern California brag — and Bellio was hilariously “raffled off.” Heavy snow hit Mammoth Mountain with up to 22 inches, even though ski season hasn't started yet. A bizarre story followed about a man using a blowtorch and gasoline in an attempted arson at a California McDonald's. The hour wrapped with Shohei Ohtani taking the mound for Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, a nod to Dave Roberts' historic 2004 Red Sox comeback, and a reminder that Los Angeles is just 1,000 days away from hosting the Olympics.

The best conversations about the Red Sox on WEEI this week. The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe and WEEI Afternoons discuss Alex Bregman's decision to opt out and weigh in on what Craig Breslow should do this offseason.

With Alex Bregman opting out, Arcand is worried about the Red Sox lineup not having any stalwarts and Alex Cora needing to shift around the lineup for another season.

A lot to discuss including an update on the MLB postseason, Tarik Skubal's seemingly murky future, and who would win in a fight between Jaylen Brown and Joe Mazzulla in the Arcand Fire.

Christian starts the final hour with some nervousness that's setting in for him about the Red Sox and their offseason. If Alex Bregman doesn't return and Craig Breslow doesn't go after big free agents, it'll be a tough look and a tough roster to give Alex Cora. Then, assessing the future of Tarik Skubal and analyzing who would win in a fight between Jaylen Brown and Joe Mazzulla in Arcand Fire. And, any skeptics about aliens might have their reasoning changed with a new documentary in Clickbait.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night and are now just one win away from repeating as National League champions, with hopes of back-to-back World Series titles in their sight. The Brew Crew will need to channel some of the 2004 Boston Red Sox magic to overcome their 0–3 deficit but it won't be easy, especially considering who they'll be facing in Game 4.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss yet another stellar pitching performance from the Dodgers, with their staff allowing only one run in Game 3. With Shohei Ohtani set to take the mound in a potential closeout game on Friday night, can the Brewers begin arguably the biggest comeback in MLB postseason history?Also on this episode, Jake and Jordan cover how the Toronto Blue Jays gave the Seattle Mariners a taste of their own medicine by winning two straight games at T-Mobile Park, evening the ALCS at two games apiece. With the series now set to return to Toronto after Game 5 in Seattle, is tomorrow night a must-win for the Mariners?

Wiggy is excited that Mike Vrabel is telling the Patriots to block out the outside noise. Robert Spillane talks about the impact Drake Maye is having on the Patriots. and how the defense works on playing as a unit. Craig Breslow says the Red Sox cannot get complacent this offseason.

Craig Breslow says the Red Sox cannot get complacent and bring back the same roster next season. Patriots' Linebacker Robert Spillane thinks Drake Maye is one of the best Quarterbacks in the league. He discusses how each member of the defense wants to dominate their position, and the rest falls into place from there.

Tom and Jack Brown of the Never Weres are back to discuss the Red Sox roster now that Alex Bregman has announced he is opting out. Then they talk about the Dodgers dominance in the NLCS before finally talking about the road-team dominated ALCS between the Blue Jays and Mariners.

In this week's new remarks, we observe how quaint the racial dialogue of 2018 was (or at least your host's was) in light of what was coming down the line for the nation. After a brief discussion of protest and backlash, we proceed to flash back to episode 72's discussion of how the same message can be heard differently in the context of race (that's the quaint part), revisit an oft-injured left-hander who was a low-key Red Sox great, and drop by Casey Stengel sailing uneasily through the great hurricane of 1938.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

RUNDOWN   Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night's 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller's Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners' own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely unseen while fans watched baseball on their phones. Add in the Seahawks' 20–12 win over Jacksonville (seven sacks despite missing key defenders), a Kraken overtime winner, and even Humpy the Salmon's long-awaited race victory — and Mitch declares it “the most joy-filled Seattle weekend in decades.” Mitch welcomes Joe Doyle (Over Slot) and Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) after Seattle's gritty 3–1 win to open the ALCS in Toronto — a game nobody expected them to take. The trio break down Bryce Miller's six-inning gem on three days' rest, the early escape that steadied him, and how his righty-righty splitter and held-velocity heater set the tone. They praise the bullpen trio of Spire, Brash, and Muñoz, the clutch base-running by Randy Arozarena, and Cal Raleigh's homer that flipped the energy of the entire series. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN.com) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) after the Seahawks' 20-12 road win over Jacksonville — a cross-country statement built on a revived pass rush and Sam Darnold's continued efficiency. The trio break down Byron Murphy's monster day (2 sacks, 7 pressures), a seven-sack team effort that could've reached double digits, and the coaching adjustments Mike McDonald made one week after the Tampa Bay meltdown. They highlight Darnold's nearly flawless 295-yard, 2-TD outing and debate whether he's already a top-tier QB in the NFC. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after witnessing Indiana's stunning 30–20 win over Oregon in Eugene — the Hoosiers' first-ever road win over a top-five team. Rick praises head coach Kurt Signetti for his “keep-it-inside” defensive discipline and authenticity, calling him “hotter than Texas chili” as Penn State's likely next target after James Franklin's firing. They discuss the money storm brewing in the Big Ten's upcoming $2.4 billion media deal, why booster influence now drives coaching turnover, and how NIL has reshaped the sport's economy. Rick breaks down SEC chaos after Auburn's controversial finish versus Georgia, the Texas rebound behind Steve Sarkisian, and why parity is spreading as defensive-line depth thins across power programs. Mitch “plants his spear” for Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., claiming him for Taco Time's Doing Some Work honors after a 538-yard night, while Rick awards his crispy burritos to Texas A&M's defense — 2-for-33 on third downs over three games.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Greatest Seattle Sports Weekend Ever?
