#27: Losing the April World Series
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Congrats to the San Diego Padres for once again winning the World Series. But really, this new “rivalry” between the Dodgers and Padres is great for baseball and we should acknowledge it as such. Ryan and Beau look to start some beef, say goodbye to some…
