Will the Cubs be able to defend their World Series crown?

Just in time for playoff baseball,, we welcome back to the podcast the Managing Editor of Awful Announcing Joe Lucia (@joe_TOC). We start with the news of the day, the resignation of Atlanta GM John Coppolella and which managed might get the pink slip this offseason. We then give our picks for the American and National League Cy Young and MVP awards. Then, it's a series-by-by-series breakdown of each round of the playoffs, culminating with who we each think will win the World Series.

After that, it's some quick Premier League chat. As a Manchester City supporter, Joe is flying high at the moment, with his team top of the table when the podcast was recorded. Conversely, my Everton is under-performing and plenty of folks calling for the manager's head. We also give our thoughts on who may or may not end up in the relegation dogfight.
