DL443: Phillies Clinch, Yanks Can’t Pitch & Extemporaneous Thought On Vick, Ben, Dexter, Mad Men, More

Another show where the headline explains the show. We wanted to start on baseball but we spent some time talking about the MNF game before randomly happening into more about the Michael Vick (and Ben Roethlisberger) situations. We discuss the same conversation we’ve had before (with a different perspective now that Vick is really really good and, with regard to Ben, Pittsburgh is really really good without him).

Does perception change that much because of wins? It’s not that Vick has paid his debt and blah blah blah. It’s whether fans would be making an issue out of it if he were terrible, but excuse it because he’s good.

We neglected to laud the people at Dexter on yesterday’s show (during our brief recap) for the scene in which Dexter talks to the funeral director who, in wonderful fashion, is EXACTLY like Michael C. Hall’s character on Six Feet Under. A wonderfully crafted scene.

BASEBALL TALK:

The Phillies are National League East champs again. Deal with our glee. We talk about the run for the Phillies a lot, patting ourselves on the back a bit I’m sure. We also talk about the AL East and NL West races (we’ve officially moved the Braves back into the NL West for the next week.

Still a lot of great baseball left before the playoffs.

Nick’s “anything else” is a brief conversation about Mad Men. Man alive there are good shows on Sundays.

Thanks for listening. (Image via The Fightins)

    Sometimes I feel like I’m the only Eagles fan who doesn’t like Vick and can’t find a way to root for him. People tell me he’s changed and has paid his debt to society, but does that mean we should root for him? I’m not sure.
