We discuss the heartbreaking loss for the Brewers last night but it was still a great campaign for a team not expected to contend. Also, it was great hearing Bob Uecker back in the booth last night after missing the first two games of the series because of being under the weather. Need to savor every moment with Uck. New job numbers from the Labor Department in September blow away expectations. It again shows the strength of the Biden Administration policies but too many Americans still think Trump would do better on the economy. Why?
