Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Wed Sep 30 2026
Description: Ken and Lima open with pumpkin patch and apple picking banter before turning to wild card Game 1, where the winner takes the series 88% of the time and the Red Sox and Phillies are on the brink. They debate the odds of a salary cap in the coming lockout and whether MLB will lean harder into big markets if it doesn't get a cap and floor, which could leave a Guardians-White Sox matchup drawing complaints about the format. John admits he's fed up with the Phillies and is told he sounds like every Cavs caller who calls the team annoying.
