Alex and Bobby take a last look at the NLCS and the wild game that ended it before moving on to preview the World Series, how the Dodgers and Rays match up against each other, and what to expect from the ~narrative~ around the teams. Then they give a final sendoff to Billy Beane as he sets his sights on European soccer, and explore the mark he’s left on the game — for better or for worse. This week’s Three Up, Three down features a fond farewell to the Astros and some tight, tight pants.
