Season 2, Show 20

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! You know the season is getting close to the end when we have logged 20 shows! But, we were still able to cull the fantasy world to produce a constant stream of fantasy baseball information, so you won’t hear any complaints from us! This week we have over 900 career saves on the move, season-ending injuries everywhere and tons of Cafe Talk to go along with our regular segments on hot/cold hitters, Battle of the Wits, the Hot Corner and much more – so grab your glove and head for the outfield – here comes The Can of Corn!

Season 2, Show 19

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! Michael marvels that it’s a good thing his H2H team turned things around, because otherwise he’d slip into a deep depression from the lack of e-mails and tweets this week! With a couple of extra days between shows this week, the hosts found good reason to jam pack this show with oodles of injury news and rookie updates for your listening pleasure to go along with our usual healthy helpings of Cafe Talk, Battle of the Wits and Tools of the Week, so grab your glove and head for the outfield – here comes The Can of Corn!

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! Greetings from the podcastsrs, with a rare appearance of the Thursday show!

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! Teams trading their aces and very large men losing their minds?
