Joe Hamrahi — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:00:21 +0000

With the World Series on the horizon, BDD Live returned this Saturday with plenty of talk about the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies, while Boston and Tampa battle for the right to represent the junior circuit. Join host Eric SanInocencio for an hour’s worth of talk about October’s key players.

After a two week hiatus, great division action and heroic performances take center stage. Along with a panel of distinguished guests, BDD Live will take a look at the matchups that could decide the next World Series Champion.

The first guest in studio is Fox’s Ken Rosenthal. The noted journalist and reporter had a bird’s eye view for the Phillies victory in Los Angeles, and he shares his thoughts on what Philadelphia did to move on. Rosenthal also sheds some light on the Jake Peavy situation, with news and notes regarding some prominent free agents.

Next up is CBS Sports columnists Larry Dobrow who writes the Sports Schizophrenia section for the popular sports website. Dobrow comments on the Red Sox historical comeback, and how the AL winner shapes up the World Series.

Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Daily News is the next to stop by. Since we know one team involved in the Fall Classic, Hayes gives some historical perspective on this Philly run, and what to expect from the fighting Phils once the Fall Classic opens up next week.

And finally, ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick rounds out the show with his always insightful viewpoint and analysis.
