It’s raining men(’s sports): Previewing the World Series, NBA season, and MLS Cup
Play all the ball!
Today’s episode of The GIST of It features a trifecta of men’s sports. First, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz crack open the peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and Corona Premier because the World Series is finally set, with two Wild Card teams as the last ones standing. After both teams narrowly made the postseason, the National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks will face the American League pennant–winning Texas Rangers beginning tomorrow night. Underdog, meet underdog.
Then after the break, the gals lay out a quick NBA season primer with the most dramatic league in sports’ 78th season officially underway.
And finally in part three, El and Steph shift gears to the soccer pitch to chat through the MLS Cup Playoffs before Round One kicks off on Saturday. Buckle up.
This episode might be heavy on the previews, but your brew doesn’t have to be! Sip on a Corona Premier, MLB’s Official Light Beer, while you tune into the Fall Classic this weekend. It’s the ultimate home run.
