In this pre-Christmas episode of Breaking Balls, join Joel, Chris, and Jason as they discuss the latest MLB moves. We talk about the Giancarlo Stanton trade, trash the Marlins, consider Shohei Ohtani's potential, and banter about a few other recent moves. Then it's all about the Hall of Fame, including Joe Morgan's dumb letter to voters, the inductions of Alan Trammell and Jack Morris, plus a rapid fire rundown of the 2018 ballot.
All of that, plus a great draft of Christmas wishes for Major League Baseball from our three-headed Santa Monster.
Enjoy the holidays with a bit of Hot Stove chatter and don't forget to pop back here to vote on who won the draft!

So suit up in your big red suit and take it out with the NBA-Team!" Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

It might have seemed like a ho-hum couple of weeks in the NBA, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are here to catch you up on all the goings on in the league. Was it necessary for the Memphis Grizzlies to fire their head coach in the midst of their losing streak, and is it possible that the tumultuous times have yet to end there? Could Doc Rivers of the L.A. Clippers be the next to go after Blake Griffin's months-long injury? Riche and Adam also talk about the streaking Cavaliers, why less teams are tanking early in the season, the league-wide injury bug, and much more. So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. Over the course of their travels through comicdom, they have encountered numerous stories via the wonder of trade paperbacks and graphic novels. Once a month, Nick and Greg will review one of those collections in The Longbook Hunters. In this edition, the boys take a look at one of the most iconic stories in the history of Marvel’s god of thunder: Walt Simonson’s “Surtur Saga!” From Simonson’s mythological approach to his cutting edge pencils, this one is ripe for discussion.

On the latest edition of Go Home in a Box, killer bees invade the U.S. and wreak havoc in THE BEES from 1978. Then lab rats are accidentally exposed to a growth serum creating....you guessed it...giant killer rats in GNAW: FOOD OF THE GODS II. Your hosts Chris Jordan and Joel La Puma discuss these two turkeys at length, having some fun in the process. But first, they discuss the new retro releases on blu-ray/dvd for the week of 11/28. After all the movie talk, the guys take a few moments to rant on "movie snobbery", as they seek to enlighten the masses on taking a chance on a movie you may not normally check out.

It's a PTBN Pop crossover as Jenny and Mirandia of Geek and Sassy join the guys to talk Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice! Was it unfairly criticized? Was WB just trying to catch up to Marvel Studios? Why is Superman so moody? Plus, we take a look at the recent release of Justice League and break down where we think things are headed now and folks… it ain’t all good. (Spoiler Alert!) But if you love somewhat-inebriated Ginger Bear rants, you’re in for a very good time.
