Recently the guys who run “The Young Guns” show on Boston’s WWZN have begun posting MP3s of their guests. My hit from this morning, discussing the outlook for the Phillies-Rays World Series, the fate of Manny Ramirez and the pair of offseason quandries the Red Sox face regarding Jason Varitek and David Ortiz, is here. Last week’s show is here, in case you missed it.

I’m on at 8:05 AM Eastern every Wednesday morning at 1510 AM on your dial or 1510thezone.com on your browser, for those wishing to catch the show live.

In other series news, 27 out of 33 “Designated Hitter” alumni (a/k/a guest authors) of The Baseball Analysts website picked the Rays to win the World Series. My invitation to participate was mis-routed and thus late, and so my response has been posted in the comments and included in the aforementioned totals. Thirteen of the 33 see the series going to six games, with another 10 calling it in seven.
