==The Hosts==

Mike Siano and Cory Schwartz both live in [[New York City]] and they both vehemently support the [[New York Yankees|Evil Empire]]

===Cory Schwartz===

Schwartz is host that is more inclined toward statistical analysis and [[sabermetrics]], especially since he is a member of the [[Society for American Baseball Research]] (SABR).  Schwartz is also responsible for providing insight on the [[Minor league baseball|minor leagues]] and upcoming prospects.  In May 2006, Schwartz questioned the [[Help:Section#Section_linking|Pitch and Ditch]] strategy and went [[emo (slang)|emo]] after poor performances from [[Ian Snell]] and [[Juan Cruz (baseball)|Juan Cruz]] but has since retracted his doubts.  Schwartz's signature topics are his National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC) team and, why the  [[Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim]] should promote [[Howie Kendrick]] (Kendrick was promoted in July 2006).  Schwartz's signature phrase is "DTM" which is an acronym for "Dead To Me." Schwartz uses the phrase during the [[Hel(contracted; show full)rence to keeper or [[dynasty]] leagues, Siano and Schwartz always recommend to try and win in the present if possible.  Often listeners are too concerned with the future and with their keeper lists when competing in keeper leagues, but Siano and Schwartz always remind the audience that winning championships is the ultimate goal because "[[pennant|flags]] fly forever."
