The Sox were able to take Game 4 in St. Louis 4-2. The Series is now tied at 2-2. Tonight Jon Lester takes the mound against Adam Wainwright in Game 5. How confident are Sox fans with Lester pitching tonight? Has David Ortiz gotten into the heads of the Cardinals? Should some of John Farrell's coaching decisions in Games 3 and 4 be questioned?

In Hour 2, Felger and Mazz discuss the Obstruction call at end of Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday night. The controversial call resulted in the Cardinals winning Game 3.

Hour 2
During Hour 3 of Felger and Massarotti, the guys continue to second-guess some of John Farrell's decisions in Game 3 and 4.
