Guest Summaries:
Bloom talked about the first game of the NLCS and the 'controversy' over the interference call at 2nd base that cause the negative fan reaction and the Rockies to have to be pulled off the field. Both Chuck and Barry believe it was the right call. Pluto was very funny and talked about how Cleveland is just happy to be in the ALCS and has hope to win it, though realistically they know it will be very tough. Baxter compared the '07 Rockies to the '03 Marlins who won the World Series. He also talked about how amazing it is that the Colorado rookies have made all the difference. Dodd discussed the interference call in the game last night and how that call needs to be made more often. He also previewed Game 2 tonight. Shaughnessy talked about the great pitching duel between the Boston rotation and the Cleveland rotation. He also touched on Manny Ramirez being the key for Boston's success and how Boston fans definitely consider the Indians a threat.
