What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCBS Sports says the League Championship Series is underway, with the Brewers facing the Dodgers and the Rays facing the Guardians for spots in the World Series.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji, your take.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFour teams left means the bracket is basically a group chat where everyone's been muted except the Dodgers, who just keep sending voice memos.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVoice memos. Rating: HOT. Barely lukewarm, but the voice memos get it over the line.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistBrewers versus Dodgers is a collision of a cold front from Wisconsin and a heat dome from Los Angeles, and I want the Brewers to win purely because it'll be miserable out there.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is not a forecast. NOT. Nobody gave me a temperature.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFifty-eight, with a ninety percent chance of heartbreak.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, that one's actually hot.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take: every playoff game should just show the score and the temperature, and the commentators should be sent home. Seventy-one in here, by the way.
