As we know the Yankees lead the Red Sox 2-0 in the ALCS. Game 3 is tonight; but it may be rained out due to the heavy rain heading our way. Hopefully tonight's game at Fenway Park will still be played; but it's not looking too good... Here's the latest forecast from News Channel 8.

This is the major local story of the day... Woman 'critical' after being pulled from submerged SUV in Old Saybrook. Imagine your car going through a fence and sinking into the Connecticut River. Scary.

Loser of the Week:
We got a lot of good nominations this week, but the greatest rivalry in sports got the most nominations. Our top candidates this week were...

• The Boston Red Sox - For losing the first two games of the ALCS. They might choke once again.
  
• The New York Yankees Fans - For gloating; and being so arrogant about the abilities of their team and the way it's run.

  It was a close battle all the way through the speed round. Back and forth over and over. When the speed round was over and the dust was settled, this week's Loser of the Week by a margin of just 3 votes is The New York Yankees Fans. Thanks for voting!

  Our first guest in the studio was Brian Todd... also known as "Professor Do-Less".
  This is the kind of health expert we've been looking for! Professor Do-Less let us know that tons of exercise is NOT the way to lose weight. He said that we've all been "duped" by the food industry and government agencies relating to our diets.
  Professor Do-Less took questions from listeners and plugged his scientific research. If you want to find out some more check out his website or call 888-430-HEAL.

  Our next guest is the Stadium Announcer at the legendary Fenway Park... Carl Beene.
  We found out how Carl got the dream job of announcing games at Fenway. He beat out several hundred applicants; and he was the only person that got to do a live audition by calling a few spring training games.
  We asked if there are any specific rules about being the Stadium Announcer and Carl said that as long as you show up and don't curse you're all right.
  This was a really good interview and we hope to have Carl on the air with us again soon. Thanks Carl!

  Since we had a big Red Sox guest this morning it's time to bring in our big Yankee guest...
  On the phone was us was the legendary bench coach for the New York Yankees... Don Zimmer!
  The great Zim has one hell of a resume; and we're proud to have a baseball legend of his caliber on the show.
  To celebrate Zim and his remarkable career Mohegan Sun will be the venue for an All-Star Celebrity Roast on Saturday September 13th. Joe Torre, Lou Pinella, Mel Stottlemyre, Tommy Lasorda, and many more baseball legends will be there to salute 'Popeye' and all of his achievments on the field. The event will be hosted by none other than Bob Costas.
  If you'd like to be at this very special night at Mohegan Sun you can! You can purchase tickets online right here.
  If you missed the interview we have it for you online...
