RotoExperts Mike Cardano (@MikeCardano) and Pat Mayo (@ThePME) talk about pitchers Patrick Corbin, Brandon McCarthy, Jerome Williams, Justin Masterson, and Justin Verlander – looking at their year to date and their prospects going forward.

The Tigers and Giants both had big contract news to announce today – the teams locked up stars Justin Verlander and Buster Posey, respectively, for a combined total of nearly $350 million. The news was so big, in fact, that the teams felt the need to commemorate it with photos. Those photos, though, only show that when it comes to these sorts of stories, pictures are worth significantly less than 1,000 words.

Earlier today, Hostess, the manufacturer of beloved food-like substances ranging from Twinkies and Ding Dongs to Wonder Bread, announced it was officially winding down operations, blaming a widespread strike that the bankrupt company said it couldn’t weather.

Bill Plaschke, sports columnist for the LA Times who is somehow popular enough to deserve a check mark on Twitter and a frequent guest on ESPN’s Around The Horn, was at it again on yesterday’s show making sensational predictions about the Yankees-Tigers Game 3 ALCS showdown.

Watch the debate instead of sports last night? Well you didn’t miss quite as much as you would have by skipping the sports scene Monday night, but there was still some action – namely, playoff baseball – out there, so we’re here to tell you what you need to know. But if you want us to put all this information in a binder, it’ll cost you.

Are you as perplexed by who played wide receiver for the Jets Monday night as Terrell Owens? That guy is confused, and he’s hungry for employment.
