On Headline Sports with Charlie O:

#1 Mets and Dodgers get underway for game 1 of the NLCS this first of all has to be a dream come true for the Commissioners office with these two big market teams playing each other in the Championship series.

#2 Charlie got to ask you about the starters in this one tonight as this one gets underway at Dodger Stadium, for the Mets right hander Kodai Senga with a 4.50 ERA has great stuff and has been effective all season will match up against the Dodgers Jack Flaherty (0-1, 6.75) do you see this one being a pitchers duel?

#3 You’ve had the opportunity to work with Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt who was a former Oakland A’s catcher how surprising or not surprising is it that he is on his way to winning the AL Manager of the Year Award for this year.

#4 Talk about how impressive it was for the Guardians to come back down 1-2 and win two straight to win the ALDS and advance.

#5 Charlie talk about the amazing come back by the Los Angeles Dodgers who were down 1-2 in the series with the San Diego Padres came back in games 4 and 5 to win it. The Padres came out like gang busters but the Dodgers whose been there before show that good teams can make the come back.

6. Charlie the Tropicana in Tampa Bay has severe roof damage from Hurricanes Heline and Milton. The Rays are on the hook to pay for the repairs and not their insurer. From what you see do the Rays fix the dome or they will have look to play elsewhere until either the Trop is fixed or when their new ballpark is ready and does that mean another big league club playing in a minor league park?
