Episode #121: Where we Will Middlebrooks here and Will Middlebrooks there… | Episode #121 Hosts: Paul Testa, Tim Daloisio Guests: none Will Middlebrooks, Will Middlebrooks, Will Middlebrooks. Do we really have to talk about anything else? Realistically the rest is pretty depressing. Like — the performance of the top three starters, the mind boggling manager that is Bobby Valentine or the slow start of Adrian Gonzalez — [...] | 5/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode #118: Where we think the new wild card is a bunch of $!#@… | Episode #118 Hosts: Paul Testa, Tim Daloisio Guests: Chip Buck (@chip_buck) Major League Baseball’s revamped playoff system may have put the 2011 Red Sox in the post-season despite their horrific September, but even that won’t sway this panel of judges in favor of the changes put into effect for the 2012 playoffs.

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
If you're looking for a complete and insightful Red Sox podcast, than this is the one. After listening to only a couple episodes so far, it is quite clear that these guys are very knowledgeable and watch nearly every game. It has a more professional sound than most podcasts and seems to reguarly update every few days or so. The conversations with the "Yankee fan" have proved to be interesting in getting both perspectives on not only the series, but the state of the Yankees as well. I look forward to future shows and I'll be sure to spread the word on the Red Sox's mlb.com message board. Keep up the good work.
Awesome!
Hey guys! I loved it! Clearly you two are very schooled in the way of the Red Sox and I enjoyed listening to you both. How about the female perspective???? I'm available any time...hint, hint. Jackie (Paul's sister)
Good stuff!
One of the better Red Sox podcasts available. I'm looking forward to your weekly updates. Keep up the good work.
