First off, congratulations to the Chicago Cubs on winning the 2016 World Series - their first win since 1908, and one year later than predicted by a certain movie.
Ironically, the longest World Series title drought now belongs to the team that lost this year's World Series, the Cleveland Indians, who last won in 1948.
We actually recorded today's episode the morning of Game 7, so we didn't know who had won it all at the time. However, batsu was given because we knew the teams we had picked did not win, let alone make the World Series.
Mike opens this episode with his Cardinals' batsu game and recites a couple of verses of Billy Joel's "Piano Man."
Mike's Washington batsu: wear a Los Angeles Dodgers cap for the latter part of this episode.
Tim's San Francisco batsu is a little more long-term: play a minor character in Mike's currently-on-hiatus web series Tales from the Interim Net (Mike is already in the series as a cyborg expert, a ninja-cyborg, the voice of a cop, and the voice of a super-computer).
We end today's episode with "H.E.A.T" by The Kyoto Connection (CC BY-NC-SA), which is the opening and closing credit song for Tales.
