In this episode:
Lavender family, we have crossed the divide.
We look back at our first post-season game.
There's no preview, but we are ECSTATIC to have made this episode.
It's one more than we have ever made.
We also chat about how we move forward and changes in the league.
Join us in the following weeks with a Lauren Milliet interview and our post-season recap.
We go again.
In this episode: Apparently when you do good with the season, they let you keep playing as long as you keep winning. They call them "Playoffs". It's a terribly novel idea I hope will stick around so we can do it again next year.
We look back at how Racing secured a spot in these "Playoffs" by hanging Bay out to dry, and look forward to the first game of these "Playoffs" against the Spirit....
In this episode: We look at the points that could have been against Gotham, Look at the FINAL playoff scenarios, and Look at washing away the bay! (Spoiler: Joe's about to rupture having had to wait for this game for two weeks.)
THE END IS NIGH

In this episode: we pay tribute to the Royals and soar above the Angels! We look at another 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 roster move, and look forward to standing Brave against the Courage and making the Stars see stars! The homestretch for the playoffs is REAL.
In this episode! We get stuck by the Thorns and take a knee to the Reign, rattle off some stayings and goings, and look to the climb (but descent?) to Utah and ask if we can clip Angel wings at home!
In this episode: Racing rides the Wave to victory only to have their hopes Dashed at home. A new Purp enters the chat, and we look ahead to back to back games against the two Cascadian teams directly above Racing on the table.
In this episode! We roar back against the Pride and make peace with the Spirit; we talk about who's coming, who's staying and who's going, and look forward to breaking the Wave and dashing the hopes of the Dash! Plus! A look at how far we've come this season and an homage to our robotic overlords!
