How likable are the teams in the MLB postseason chase?

The StewPod: Baseball, pop culture & more

Are the Boston Red Sox likable? This week’s podcast started with that question and morphed into something else. On the StewPod, we’re assessing the likeability of each team involved in the MLB postseason chase. Basically: Are they baseball’s heels or a team to cheer for? We’re also talking about the season’s biggest disappointments, the latest blow to the New York Mets pitching staff, the debut of “Pitch” on Fox and this week in Tim Tebow. We’re joined by The Stew’s Liz Roscher and our buddy Bad News Ramen for another Three Strikes segment. Here’s a full rundown of the show: • Mike and Chris reunited • How disappointing are the White Sox? • Will the Giants be more disappointing if they don’t make the postseason? • The Mets are a different kind of disappointing. • The eternal Bartolo Colon • Likability debates • Pitch: Are people going to get mad online? • The highlights of Tim Tebow’s first week in baseball • Three Strikes w/ Bad News Ramen about Yasiel Puig, David Ortiz and “Field of Dreams” • At Chris’ urging, Mike watched “Stranger Things” [Music: “Gorgeous” by Kanye West]
