Guest Summaries:
> Keri reviewed the first two games of the World Series and previewed the games in Colorado. He discussed the lack of a DH hurting Boston's lineup and the Rockies needing to take advantage of every mistake made by Boston on their field. Geffner talked about the pitching of Okajima and Matsuzaka, the possible moves to accomdate the lack of a DH in Denver, and debated who should roam the vast Colorado center field for Boston. O'Brien talked about the manager search in New York and how it does not appear that past experience is being used as criteria for the Yankees' choice. Rawlings previewed the game 3 pitching matchup between Matsuzaka and Fogg, as well as discussing the surprising run of the Rockies and how it shows parity improving throughout the league. Harding talked about the World Series being a great showcase for the Rockies despite their play thus far, as this team was virtually unknown to the nation. He also talked about the struggling COL offense and looked at what can be expected from Aaron Cook in Game 4.
