NBC and MLB Network analyst Bob Costas joined the show to discuss the World Series. Here are some of Costas' takes ...
-- Dan asked Costas who the Phillies should turn to in Game 7 if the series goes that far. "You have to use Cliff Lee in a Game 7 at some point," Costas said. Costas thinks they should turn to Lee for at least three innings to start. Then you go to the bullpen," Costas said.
-- Costas said Mark Teixeira hasn't hit well, but he's not nearly as bad as Ryan Howard. "It's nothing like how futile Ryan has been," Costas said. "Man, he looks clueless up there." Costas says Howard is a great guy, so the media has been slow to jump on him for a classic choke job.
-- Costas said you can definitely give the MVP to a player who isn't on the winning team. But he's not sure that Utley deserves it if the Phils don't win.
-- Dan asked Bob Costas about Ozzie Guillen's pregame comments on FOX that Derek Jeter is the greatest Yankee of all time. Here's how Costas ranked the all-time Yankees.
1. Babe Ruth
2. Lou Gehrig
3. Joe DiMaggio
4. Mickey Mantle
5. Mariano Rivera
6. Jeter or Yogi Berra
-- Costas pointed out to Dan that Ludacris name-checked him in a song. Something about rolling torpedoes, hanging w/ Rostas, and getting paid like Bob Costas.
