Speaker 1: with baseball and the football Week seven of the NFL.

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: We'll mix that in as well.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the baseball playoffs, the America League

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Championship Series. Oh God, one wins, you lead, one wins

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Sunday night to get it done. And while the NFL

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: played from morning tonight all day. There was just one

46
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Island game in Major League Baseball. This was at one

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: slot left in the World Series and Seattle visiting the

48
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: four to one six area code and opportunity to punch

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: their ticket to the Fall Classic and a date with

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: the Doyers, And that was what was on the line.

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: There is winn You had two chances to win one game.

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: But if you win the first game, you don't. We

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: worry about the second game. And so they sent out

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert. Seattle did to the Mantains, all right, Logan Gilbert,

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: to just give us a solid out and give us

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. Give us an opportunity

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: to win the game. And the opposition there for the

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: blue Jays, they were with Trey you Savage and how

59
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: did that go? Well? Vladdie Guerrero was laughing and smiling

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: and having a grand time as he was playing the

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: role of spoiler. And now he's set himself up. He

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: had a home run there if you didn't see it,

63
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: sixth home run of the postseason. Remember, I'm alding to

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: remember those first couple of games when the Blue Jays

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: were terrible against the Mariners and we were like, what's

66
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: going on what's going on with Ladimirguerre. Well, he's back,

67
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: so he goes and hits his sixth home run. The

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: rookie Trey you Savage struck out seven in five and

69
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: two thirds innings. I've told that's good. The Blue Jays

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: four course eight games? How cool is this game seven?

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: We got a game seven. It's on Monday night. There

72
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: they beat the Mariners six to two. They'll finally have

73
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: a better story is in the losing locker room, the

74
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Seattle side of things, as the Mariners end up getting

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: waylaid by the Blue Jays in this game. They were

76
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: never had the lead, they never I didn't play well.

77
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: They were sloppy all over the place. So let us

78
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: discuss the question. Though it's on the mound. The jumping

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: off point is on the mound. You had a rookie

80
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: for Toronto who went out there and he wasn't great,

81
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: but was better than the guy that the Mariners started.

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: So how do you explain how bad bad to the

83
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: bone Logan Gilbert was for the Mariners with a chance

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: to push Seattle to the World Series. So on this one,

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I've got boombox, skinny jeans and carnival cruise, and we

86
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we're going

87
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: to have some delicious chocolate chip cookies. All right, So ay,

88
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. Logan Gilbert went

89
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: out to the mound with the weight of legends like

90
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: Alvin Davis and Jim Presley and Jay Buter and all

91
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: these other old Mariners. He went out there on the

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: biggest stage of his life. He had pitched well in

93
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: the playoffs prior to the league championship series. Right, we

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: saw him have some big starts against the big appearances

95
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Tigers. And the lights got very bright

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: there and the Blue Jays cranked the volume up to eleven.

97
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: And how did that go? The pitcher there melted like

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: a snow cone in July. It did not go very well.

99
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: And all the success that he had against the old

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: English d and fizzled fast. In this game. You saw,

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I was on FS

102
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: one here. The box score was bad. If you didn't

103
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: watch the game, Oh, watch football, and so I don't

104
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: watch baseball. I shut up. So the box score was bad. However,

105
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: it felt much worse watching Logan and Gilbert pitch like

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it wasn't. It wasn't more lopsided than it

107
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: was the way he pitched. It was a parade of

108
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: base runners. Gilbert at this point needed someone from Baywatch

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: to come, and he needed a lifeguard to help Monte

110
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: was drowning on the mountain. Now, meanwhile, the Blue Jays

111
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: mentioned they sent the rookie out, Trey Y Savage, who

112
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: in many ways was like houdin the getting out of

113
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: jams here for the Toronto baseball team. And Gilbert on

114
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the other side, even though he had more experience, he's

115
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the one that needed a diaper change, and he wasn't

116
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: fooling anybody, and he couldn't.

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: Work his way out of issues.

118
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: And the four seamer was flat, as the guys like

119
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: to say, and the slider no bite you need? Where's

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: the bite? There is no bite on the slider. And

121
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: so the flop sweat was pouring down was not going well.

122
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: In fact, you could have filled a kiddie pool with

123
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: the amount of choke that was coming off Gilbert in

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: this particular start against Toronto. And so he gets to

125
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: wear the letterman's jacket. Congratulations on this. You get the

126
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: big l which is stitched on to the lettermans jacket loser,

127
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: and it was the theme. If there was a song

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: for this start for Logan Gilbert, number thirty six in

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: your program, but number zero in your Mariner heard, that

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: would be Bruce Springsteen getting out the boombox there and

131
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: cranking up the blinded by the light. The light of

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: the world series for Seattle.

133
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: Was on the line.

134
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: And now now you screwed this up. And so now

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: we have a game seven and two starts for Logan

136
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Gilbert in the American League Championship Series and the results

137
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: were mixed. His ERI was not a seven point seven

138
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: to one earn run average for Logan Gilbert in the

139
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: American League Championship Series. That is bulletin board worthy in Seattle,

140
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: not in a good way. That is tattoo worthy. The

141
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: suck tattoo, Holy Canoli.

142
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: So there you go.

143
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Give up twelve hits in his two starts, eight runs,

144
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: seven earned, I believe is the numbers on that.

145
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: Now.

146
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, mention there's a game seven is down to one

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: night only in the American League Championship Series. So the

148
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: question is what are you most excited about in anticipation

149
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: of Game seven of the Alcs, the Jays and the Mariners.

150
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: The winner gets a chance to play the Doyers in

151
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: the Fall Classic. So this is game seven. That Game

152
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: five is good, but Game seven is better than the

153
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Game five. Like Game five we had Tigers and Mariners

154
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: played Game five when fifteen innings and all that. Game

155
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: seven though I know, it is pure cinema, pure cinema.

156
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna get here October Baseball drama orama,

157
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: all of that. The stakes, the al pennant at the

158
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: end of the game on Monday night. Is ee going

159
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: to be the Mariners win the pennant, the Mariners win

160
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: the pennant, or oh god, the Blue Jays are back

161
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: in the World Series for the first time in like

162
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: a gazillion years and all that stuff and a playdate.

163
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: As we mentioned with shoe hail Tani and the Doyers

164
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five World Series. It is interesting

165
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: note if Toronto wins Game one of the World Series

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: will be Friday night in Ontario. If the Mariners win,

167
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Game one will be in Los Angeles with rush hour

168
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: traffic gridlock in LA on Friday night and rush hour

169
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Now here's what I love, get down to it.

170
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 3: Here's what it makes wine. Right.

171
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Everything that has happened is prologue, everything that's taken place

172
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: leading up to Game seven, like all if you watch

173
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: all six games of this and the crazy start where

174
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the Mariners looked wonderful, the first two games, the Blue

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: Jays looked like they were they were going on vacation,

176
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: and everything that changed when we flipped up to across

177
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: the North American content there to Seattle. But the thing

178
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: that's great is the it's one game. It's analytics go

179
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: out the window in manyways because it's it's game seven.

180
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: It's not you don't have a large sample size. It's

181
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: one game.

182
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: That's it.

183
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: The scouting report says blah blah blah blah blah, but

184
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: you throw it in the trash. You can burn it,

185
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And this is a night where careers

186
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: are defined and the marketing campaign.

187
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: About ah, the legends are born in October.

188
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Well, legends are born in October, but they also die

189
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: in October too, and you have to take a long

190
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: time to recover from a stink bomb performance. For example,

191
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: you've got Vladimir Guerrero Junior on one side, and there

192
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: was a chance he would have just played out the

193
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: year and gone into the market as a free agency

194
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: signed forever contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, so he's

195
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: locked in there. He hasn't gotten it done in the

196
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: playoffs this year is getting it done and beat the

197
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: Yankees up. But you look at an opportunity to go

198
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: to the World Series of the Blue Jays, Holy Joe,

199
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Carter Batman have a chance to do that. Cal Raley

200
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: on the other side, this is uncharted territory. Ken Griffy

201
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: Junior and those great Mariner teams with a Rod and

202
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: those guys back in the day, and they never got here.

203
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: So these guys are either going to be immortalized just

204
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: by getting the World Series and then if they win it,

205
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: that's like a higher plane, that's like a higher level

206
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: and all that. And if they do get this done

207
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: to win the Pennant, then you get that glossy World

208
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Series montage you're included in and all that. And I'm

209
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna spend the next decades remember when they won the Pennant.

210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, this is a big deal. We want to

211
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: and if you lose, oh man, holy crap, the whole

212
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: building is going to be tight, which is great. And

213
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: we talk often about tight took a syndrome and who

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: can overcome that? And this is a great opportunity. Who

215
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: will succumb to that situation? It's kind of like tight

216
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: took a syndrome. How to describe it. It's kind of

217
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: like wearing skinny jeans and eating birthday meal and cake.

218
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: You know, suddenly those skinny jeans a little tight, little

219
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: tight things a little tight there. And so that's where

220
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: we are. You know, the Xanax will be going out

221
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: there like buttered popcorn at a movie theater. Everyone's gonna

222
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: be on it at at Loggers heads with with just

223
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: the moment. And I think it's great because somebody's gonna

224
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: choke epically and I will be here to document it. Now,

225
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: will we get a choke job like that pitcher for

226
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: the Phillies that gag that series away on a two

227
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: hopper back to the mount. He chucked the ball behind

228
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: the catcher and that was it for the Philadelphia Phillies.

229
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: Now, that would be extra.

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Special in a Game seven situation here, But again, the

231
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: matchups don't matter, home field doesn't matter.

232
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: There's no script at all that the.

233
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Breaking down launch angles momentum as John Smolts likes to say,

234
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: all that doesn't matter, all right, comes down to who

235
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: doesn't soil themselves in the moment in Game seven. So

236
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, that simple. And it's kind

237
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: of like the players on the Mariners and Blue Jays.

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: You think of them like tea bags, and you're gonna

239
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: find out what they're made of when they hit the

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: hot water. You know, not all tea bags are the same.

241
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: There.

242
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: Ask Peyton Manning about that, now, Vladdie, he's gonna be

243
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: the man or is he gonna be the stooge? We

244
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: will find out? And you got the big dumper on

245
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: the other side about all the things that have been

246
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: said about his season, the most impressive playoff regular season combined,

247
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: if you get to the World Series, because the other

248
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: players that have hit all these home runs did not

249
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: finish the job, and if cal Raley can finish the job,

250
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: then okay. And so it's all hands on deck. Starters

251
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: will be coming out of the bullpen, you're gonna get that.

252
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Closers will be in the sixth inning and we'll be there.

253
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting down. I will watch the game for you.

254
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: If you don't care about baseball, I will watch the

255
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Mariners, so you do not have to.

256
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: All right, last word, we go to the NFL the

257
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: game of the day in Denver, and we witness one

258
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: of the most pathetic choke jobs in the history of

259
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: pro football. It impossible happened because of absolute moufeasance by

260
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, period stop, no real debate about that.

261
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: And my god, the Giants were up nineteen to nothing

262
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: against the Broncos going to the fourth quarter, a Denver

263
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: team that was just not their day.

264
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: They were behind.

265
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: The eight ball. Maybe they were using eight ball, I

266
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know. They were just terrible. And somehow the Giants,

267
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: because of their generosity, they managed to screw things up

268
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: so royally that they allowed the Denver Broncos to score

269
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: thirty three points in the final fifteen minutes and lost.

270
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: The Giants did on a walk off field goal. How

271
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: is that even possible? That's a biblical choke job. They

272
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: will be in the Bible. It's a King James Bible.

273
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: It's in there somewhere. That is believe.

274
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: NFL teams.

275
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: They had the stat NFL teams sixteen hundred and two

276
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: straight games when leading by eighteen or more points they

277
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: had won. So you know it's announcers always said, well,

278
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: you never know, this team could come back. No, ninety

279
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, the team never comes back.

280
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: This ninety nine point nine nine percent of line doesn't happen.

281
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: This time it happened, and my god, Brian day Ball.

282
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Let's discuss the question who's most responsible the better story

283
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: on the losing side, who's most responsible for Brian Dave

284
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Balls Giants doing the belly whopper and getting smoked in

285
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter by the Denver Broncos. So this was

286
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: not a partial collapse. This was a full monty collapse,

287
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: from soup to nuts, from A to z any other

288
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: way you want to say it, and all three phases

289
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: of suck, which is impressive.

290
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: Right.

291
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: You add the special teams. The idiot kicker for the

292
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: Giants missed multiple, multiple extra points, so that's an f up.

293
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: You've got the defense with sloppy tackling, just generally lazy

294
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: football by the Giants after playing really solid. I thought,

295
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: for maybe I was wrong, got first three quarters, I

296
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: thought they looked pretty good. You've got the offense with

297
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: the rookie Jackson Dart, the new Messiah the new savior

298
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: of the Giants, and Jackson, Jackson Dark goes out there

299
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: and stunk it up in the fourth quarter, had an

300
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: interception that helped fuel the comeback. Without that, Denver doesn't

301
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: have enough gusto to come back and win the game.

302
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: And so you mix in coaching malpractice with lase a

303
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: fair lazy river football by the Giants, and you have

304
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: been able to achieve the unachievable. Congratulations, congratulating just when

305
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: you thought the Giants had turned the corner and they'd

306
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: arrived and okay, they got their quarterback, they got Scataboo

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: Scataboo boo, it's got the.

308
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: Name and all that.

309
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well here's Brian Dayball, who should be unemployed

310
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: at this point but apparently is not, and here is

311
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: him trying to spin the unspinnable. Let's take a listen. Yeah,

312
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: tough loss.

313
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: So not a lot of talking that needs to be

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: done when you lose a game like that.

315
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: Everybody gave everything they had, Oh they did really? Okay,

316
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: you didn't look like it on my TV med my

317
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: TV's I get old TV. Maybe that's the problem, because

318
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: it looked like they thought the game was over and

319
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: uh yeah, wow wow wow wow wow wow. All right,

320
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: so mentioned Jackson Dart. Not good, not good, just all

321
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: of it was was god awful. Here is Dart on

322
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: how you quarterbacked the game. I don't care if you're

323
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: a rookie or not. You quarterbacked were the greatest choke jobs.

324
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: With like five minutes ago, the Broncos were getting smoked,

325
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: and they came back and explain yourself, Jackson Dart. I

326
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: never felt like we were gonna lose the game.

327
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 5: So you know, I looked at the clock when they scored,

328
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 5: I said, and.

329
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: We got a lot of time left I had. I

330
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: had no doubt that we were gonna go down there

331
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: and score. Well, guess what your defense, you didn't. You

332
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: didn't you left too much time or whatever. The Giants

333
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: took a carnival cruise and the destination they clearly did

334
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: not look at the destination. Their cruise was titled Crap

335
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: your Pants, and they crapped their pants right there mile

336
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: high crap, which I think is better for you. It

337
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: clears out your system. So congratulations and bow Knicks, the

338
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: beneficiary of all this, who stunk for three quarters, right,

339
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Broncos had nothing going on offensively, and then he turns

340
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: into John Elway in the final fifteen minutes. Here, Nicks

341
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: had one hundred and seventy four yards passing forty six

342
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: yards on the ground in the fourth quarter, It converted

343
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of two point conversions, had two touchdowns on

344
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: the ground too, through the air, and again not possible

345
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: without football incompetence by the New York Giants.

346
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 3: There.

347
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: The Giants were thunderstruck. They thought, well, just like Jackson

348
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: Dart said that, ah, we have plenty of time. Well

349
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna win this game. Don't worry that we have

350
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: such a big league that the Broncos can't come back. And

351
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: then the Broncos came back, So the Giants gave them oxygen.

352
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: So does Brian day Ball survive as coach of the Giants? Now,

353
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: you'd say he shouldn't. He doesn't deserve when you look

354
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: at his resume and how terrific the Giants have been.

355
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: What a laughing stock, what a fraudulent franchise the Giants

356
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: have been for years since he took over. And you think, well,

357
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: you fight it, but that's the Giants. Don't do that.

358
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: They should have been fired two years ago. Brian Dave

359
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: Balls should have been let go. It's a joke. But

360
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: that's how the Giants opera. That's why they're frauds. The

361
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: New York Giants are frauds. They they allow this kind

362
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: of crap to go on, this malfeasance. Brian Brian Dabole,

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: who's clearly incompetent as a head coach. I mean, my god,

364
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: that Denver the Giants with the interception and some sloppy

365
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: tackling and some penalties whatever. The Giants gave the Broncos

366
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of oxygen and they went through that

367
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: door like it was a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Uh.

368
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: They were just going for it.

369
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Uh. And if that doesn't get you fired, what else?

370
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I would have had him fired multiple times? What else

371
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: does one have to do to lose their job. He's

372
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: a nice guy.

373
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

374
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: I'm he's good.

375
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Congratulations, glowing stories about full person

376
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: and the writers like him. Paul again, give him thirty

377
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: three points in the fourth quarter. I'm guaranteeing you. The

378
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: tabloids in New York already had the headline the Giants

379
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: are gonna win the game. They're ready to go, and

380
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: then surprise, surprise, surprise.

381
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: You lose a game like that, you should be sent

382

Speaker 1: You could hear that sound at the end of the

413
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: baseball game JJ in Renton, who assumed the Mariners we're

414
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: gonna lose. No stret Denis. I'm trying to remember everyone

415
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: in Seattle. We got a lot of guys that love

416
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: the show in Seattle. I can't remember everyone. But this

417
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760

425
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: this hour is from Obviously Toronto. It was the eye

426
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: in the bullseye of Major League Baseball, the final chapter,

427
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: Game number seven of the American League Championship Series the

428
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: Mariners and the Blue Jays. Twenty seven outs, nine innings,

429
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: one game winner gets the Dodgers in the Fall Classic.

430
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: It was on Fox. You had Joe Davis and John

431
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Momentum Smoltz on the call. Although I have noticed these

432
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: last couple of games ever since I did my Mallard

433
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: monologue mocking the momentum that was mentioned every ten minutes

434
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: on the game, he hasn't mentioned it as much, although

435
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: I did hear it in every broadcast I watched. There

436
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: were two Monday night games and I heard it halftime

437
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers had all the momentum because they scored a

438
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: field goal before halftime. I heard that. I judge me anyway,

439
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: So Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call. It

440
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: was on Fox Sports One. I don't know if you're

441
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: watching it or not. Perhaps not, but don't worry. I

442
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: actually I loved it. I mean it's Game seven. Yeah,

443
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: I mean some of these things I watch, I'm not

444
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you.

445
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 3: I hate them.

446
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: I get paid to do that. By some of these games.

447
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: I watch them like this sucks, but I kind of have.

448
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: To watch it. This I enjoyed watching until the end.

449
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: When cheating a one thousand and two one thousand hole,

450
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: George Springer hit a go ahead and Dingger Springer the dinger.

451
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if there was a bang, bang or a

452
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: whistle whistle for the cheating a hole the go ahead

453
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: three run home run in the seventh inning to turn

454
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: the game around and Toronto advances to the World Series

455
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Holy, Holy

456
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: Canoley get the poutine ready, baby, So they rallied to

457
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: beat Seattle four to three in the final in Game

458
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: seven of the American League Championship Series on Monday night,

459
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: Vladimir go Row and the Blue Jays will host. They

460
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: have home field advantage. Host Sho hal Tani and the

461
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers game one on Friday night. It's on like Donkey

462
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: Kong in Toronto, as the Blue Jays representing the World

463
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: Series in Canada for the third time. As they they

464
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: would say, we would have won a third time in

465
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: a row, but there was a baseball workstoppage and all that.

466
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: But the early nineties Blue Jays were legit. And that's

467
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and you got to be old

468
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: to have remembered the Blue Jays when they were good.

469
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: And now they're good again in the World Series. And

470
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: so we have plenty of time to discuss as they

471
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: take on the Dodgers, who swept the Brewers in the NLCS.

472
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: We have all week to talk about that. The better story, though,

473
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room, and so that is.

474
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: Where we will begin.

475
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: And the Mariners gagged away a three to one lead

476
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: in the seventh and eighth They fell a eight outs away,

477
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: eight out short of their first World Series of parents.

478
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: They did get home runs from Jay Rod and cal Raley.

479
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: Cal Raley went yard there, and so but the Manors lose.

480
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: They lose.

481
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Now, Dan Wilson, who is he gonna shave that mustache? God,

482
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: I'll shave it form anyway. He's the manager of the Mariners,

483
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: Dan Wilson, and he was asked, you've just lost the

484
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: American League pennant in Game seven. You've choked away a series,

485
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: losing five five of the final six games, or four

486
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: of the final six games. Good job by you, good

487
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: math by me. Win the first to lose four of

488
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: the final five to lose the series. Anyway, here's Dan

489
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Wilson on his Mariner message.

490
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 7: Just to hold up their heads and and you know,

491
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 7: to understand what kind of a season they had. I mean,

492
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 7: I know this things and there's no question that it's

493
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 7: gonna sting, but the kind of season they had, you know,

494
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 7: doing things that no team in this organization has ever done.

495
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 7: And and you know, knocking on the door of a

496
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 7: World Series all that, you know, it's due to how

497
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 7: hard they've worked, how hard they've played all season long,

498
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 7: all the times they've come back, all the times they've

499
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 7: bounced back. It's a special team in there, and it's

500
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 7: a shame we had to come out on the wrong

501
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 7: side of this one.

502
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: So that's a bad quote. Your professional athlete, your job

503
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: is to play hard. I don't give you any credit

504
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: for that. I give you no credit Meanwhile, the money

505
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: quote is from the big dumper, cal Ralei, mister danger.

506
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: This was his career year. He'll never play this well

507
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: again for a full season.

508
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 3: This is it.

509
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: This is the high water mark for cal Raleigh. And

510
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: they didn't win the pennant. They lose to Toronto in Game

511
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: seven and cal Ralei dropped a truth bomb post game.

512
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 5: You know, I hate to use the word failure, but

513
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 5: it's a failure. I mean, that's what we expected just

514
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 5: to get to the World Series, win World Series, and

515
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: that's you know what the bar is and the standard is,

516
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: and you know that's what we want to hold ourselves

517
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 5: accountable too. But yeah, it's uh, it hurts, all right.

518
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 3: So that's a great jumping off point right there. I

519
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: like that. That's the money quote.

520
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs

521
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: down on cal Raley saying the Mariner season was a failure.

522
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: So I've got Rodent Blue Chee and Alfred Hitchcock and

523
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

524
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: are gonna make a delicious, wonderful trip to Cancun with

525
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: all all expenses paid. It's gonna be wonderful because that's

526
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: where the Mariners are going. Well, the Blue Jays are

527
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: getting made for the World Series on Friday. The Mariners

528
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: can go on a nice tropical vacation. So ay, I

529
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: love this. I love the cal Rally quote. I really

530
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: do thumbs up. In fact, you know, I'm gonna go

531
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: not just thumbs up, I'm gonna go thumbs all the

532
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: way up to the mountain to the moon. All right,

533
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: big dumper gets it. Good job by you. I was

534
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: the standard chow when a team loses in this type

535
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: of environment. There was no puffy sticker being handed out

536
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: to the Seattle Manners.

537
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: No aw shucks. They blew it. That's what it is.

538
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: We're all grown ups here.

539
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: They blew it. If it looks like a rodent, and

540
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: it smells like a rodent, it's a rodent. And that's it.

541
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: They were up two to zero in the American League

542
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: Championship Series. They had won both games, both games in Toronto.

543
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: They had three games at home. Boom boom boom. And

544
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: they left it up. They screwed it up, and they

545
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: had one hand already on the World Series ticket, and

546
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: they dropped it. They dropped it, and they screwed it

547
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: up and that's the gag they choked. It's called what

548
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: it is. The Seattle Manners choked in the American leagu

549
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: Championship Series. From Game three through the rest of the series,

550
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle that old baseball team was outscored thirty three

551
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: to seventeen. They were almost doubled up by Toronto, the

552
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: pratt fall for the ages for the Seattle Mariner. They

553
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: didn't just lose by a little bit. Once they stopped playing,

554
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: that was it.

555
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: They're not the last the.

556
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: Party over, losing their Augusto and losing with some rasthmatas

557
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: when you think about it, they and then they still

558
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: had eight outs to go in Game seven, eight out,

559
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: so I eight out, so you win the pennant, you

560
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: get the champagne, and the Blue Jays zapped their lumber.

561
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: And the person who's not a household name, so it's

562
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: likely a name that only a.

563
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 3: Few of us will remember.

564
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: But the one that has to wear this for effing

565
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: it up as Edward Bizardo, Eduardo Bizardo, who was just bad,

566
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: who apparently was good. I don't I didn't watch him

567
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: pitch much of a leaf pitcher for the Mariners, but

568
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: on this night he earns those novelty you know, the

569
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: plastic aircraft wings when you fly the Vomit comet and

570
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: he gets those. So congratulations to Bizardo who screwed things up.

571
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: He gave up the home run to the cheater. He

572
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: sucked at a time you cannot suck. And cal Raley

573
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: is right again, this is just put the ball on this.

574
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: It is a failure. And we appreciate that he did

575
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: not immediately run to the gram and write some proud

576
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: of you boys, some kind of that bull crap post

577
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of crying emojis or something like that to mine.

578
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: Maybe he did. I didn't see it. So he stood

579
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: up and he said it. And you know, it doesn't

580
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: change the fact the man has choked. But at least

581
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: you had the guts to say, put what really happened

582
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: out there and not try to spin it. It was

583
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: a failure. Boom done, and that's accountability. Good job by you,

584
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: cal Raleigh. He had an amazing year and you lived

585
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: up to the big contract you got. Good job by you.

586
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: The bar is not the American League Championship Series participation banner.

587
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: It's the World Series, and the Mariners continue to be

588
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: the only team that has not made the World Series.

589
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: Every other member of the cartel has made the World Series. Now,

590
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: in the next five to ten years, probably next five years,

591
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: they're going to add an expansion team or two, so

592
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: it'll be two other teams that haven't made the World Series.

593
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: And then those two teams will make the World Series

594
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: and the Mariner still will not have made the World Series,

595
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: and it'll be even more embarrassing. But that's the way

596
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: we are. So the weight continues as they are pennantless

597
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Meanwhile, in the winners locker room, not as good,

598
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: not as good as story. The question what is the

599
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: lesson from Vladimir Guerrero winning American League Championship Series ENVP

600
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: honors for Toronto?

601
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 3: What's the lesson here?

602
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: So this is classic baseball in October playoff baseball. We

603
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: were talking about this series in real time and after

604
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: two games of the ass what was the talking point. Well,

605
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero has had seven at bats, he's zero for seven.

606
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: In fact, we had the stats against the Yankees. He

607
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: hit the crap out of the ball against everyone else.

608
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Is after two games he was batting one hundred or

609
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: something like him, one o three against everyone else in

610
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs other than the Yankees. Flatty was a battie

611
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: and not a good way. Not a good way.

612
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

613
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: And then you know the hot take machine, which I'm

614
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: part of the industrial complex of the hot take in

615
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: small part of it. I don't work day shift. If

616
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: I day shift, i'd be a big part of it.

617
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I work overnights. So this is where the real hot

618
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: takes are developed.

619
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: In the kitchen.

620
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: We cook them up hot and we piping hot right

621
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: out of them. Anyway, So revving up the hot take machine,

622
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: it was spicy, so everyone was ready to stick the

623
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: fraud label on the back of Vladimir Guerrero. And then

624
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: boom goes to dynamite or in this case wrecket Ralph

625
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: or wrecket Vlattie as he went turbo time, which is

626
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: a reminder. Now we have a day of talk show

627
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: to do a nightly talk show, So it is a

628
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: reminder though it's not how you start, it is how

629
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: you finish. And this was a turbotastic ending for Vladimir Guerrero.

630
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: The blue Chew or the Blue jay Chew fixed whatever

631
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: issue he may or may not have had here doing

632
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: the mal or math. Vladimir Guerrero Junior batted the final

633
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: five games of the ALC has batted five twenty six.

634
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: That's Beer League softball for Vladimir Guerrero with three home runs,

635
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: scored six runs, had three runs batted in. And that's

636
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: why you pay stars. You pay them to perform like that.

637
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Not all of them do. Many of them do not

638
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: perform at that level. And Guerrero did not need to

639
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: be perfect. He was not perfect at the beginning, obviously sucked.

640
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: He just needed to be there when it mattered. And

641
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: that's the other lesson from all this. And I've known

642
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: this for many, many years, but it's it's amnesia. It's

643
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: October amnesia that happens every year. It's like, I'll give

644
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: you Shoel Tani was trash in the playoffs with the Dodgers.

645
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: Everyone right now is licking every crevice of his body

646
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: because of the game he had in the close out

647
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: game against the Brewers. But he was terrible for the

648
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: postseason up until that game. But that's what people are

649
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna remember that. I canna remember how Toddy was sucked

650
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: before that. They're gonna remember, Oh my god, did you

651
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: see the game? He had the greatest game of all

652
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: the time. I got my pants down that they're so

653
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: excited about that, so they'll forget the other stuff. And

654
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: Guerrero's a great example. He was terrible for the first

655
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: two games, but October amnesia kicks in and he was

656
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: there at the end. He delivered for games three, four, five, six,

657
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and seven onthough it was one for four in this

658
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: game in game seven, but he didn't melt under the

659
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: bright lights of October there and so I guess he

660
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: just needed a couple of games to heat up the

661
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: old engine. Not the last word big picture, that big picture.

662
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: We now have the match up. The matchup is set.

663
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: We've got a team representing an entire entire country because

664
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: baseball let the Expos leave Montreal, so we've got Toronto

665
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: and La. What letter grade? What letter grade do you

666
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: put on the twenty twenty five World Series matchup? First

667
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: glance Dodgers and Blue Jayson, So first glance on the

668
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: Mather report card, I give it a B. I'm gonna

669
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: give it a B. It's not an A. I can't

670
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: give it an A. It's a B. It's like a

671
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: B minus. World Series.

672
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: It's a B.

673
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: It is a matchup that has some juice, and I

674
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about it as I was making the long

675
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: trip in here to the hallowed hallways of Fox Sports

676
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: Radio where legends have worked. Here in the old Steve

677
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 1: Harvey studio we're in now where he did his show

678
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: and then crossed the way there. The other studio we're

679
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: in is the where Limbaud did his show when he

680
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: was in La like legends of radio. So I come

681
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: in here and the storylines are bubbling up for the

682
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: Fall Classic they are What are they? You've got some star,

683
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: You've got a villain, You've got history, all of that

684
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: stuff mixed together. You've got Otani, the biggest global star

685
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: in baseball, who's representing Japan all right, biggest thing in

686
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: the world there for Japanese baseball fans. And you got

687
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: him playing in his second World Series. And oh, by

688
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: the way, even though the Dodgers won last year, Otani.

689
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to say this part. He wasn't very good.

690
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: Oh I said it. Oh my god, I said it.

691
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: That's why I'm on overnight. I said it. I said

692
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: it the daytime, guys with lick his toes. He sucked

693
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: in the World Series last year. There, I said it.

694
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: Okay.

695
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, so he's got a chance at redemption, all right.

696
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: And we also have that other story, the catfish story.

697
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: We all got catfished when Otani was a free agent.

698
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: You remember this. I was thinking about this when I

699
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: was coming in here. I was like Otani when he

700
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: was a free agent and nobody knew where it was

701
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna go.

702
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: And there was.

703
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: That infamous private jet story. Do you remember this Otani

704
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: to Toronto? John Morosi MLB insider tracking the tail number

705
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: essentially of Otani's private plane leaving the airport in southern

706
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: California like it was Air Force one heading to Toronto,

707
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: and everyone got all excited and turned out No, that

708
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: was almost as good as Arson Judge going to the Giants.

709
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: That was a John Hayman f up by him. So

710
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: now it comes full circle. Now it is full circle.

711
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: We know obviously Atani's with the Dodgers and all that

712
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: he didn't go to Toronto, and now he is standing

713
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: between Toronto and a World Series trophy, and that is

714
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: an interesting wrinkle to this world series. Then you've got

715
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: Vladdy Guerrero Junior, who has turned into the Oracle of October.

716
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: As Vladdie is your daddy, hitting four forty, even those

717
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: two zero for seven, the two games, Oh, hitting four

718
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: to forty. He's leading baseball in every key number. Daddy. Yeah,

719
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: he is carrying Toronto. This is like David Ortiz type

720
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: stuff when he was with the Red Sox back in

721
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: the day. I guess Flatty's gonna end up on Fox

722
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: eventually doing baseball coverage on TV. So there's no such

723
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: thing as momentum. But he's on a heater. That's what

724
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: the kids say. He's a cartoon. Crooked numbers there for

725
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, number twenty seven in your program, but

726
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: number one in your heart for the Blue Jays. And

727
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: let's not forget the real thing about this world series

728
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: that stands out like a sore thumb.

729
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 5: The villain.

730
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: Now, you might think the Dodgers are the villains because

731
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: they spend all the money, they've got all the good players. No,

732
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: now would be wrong. The villain a cheating, a strout.

733
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, George Effen Springer forever an a hole, forever,

734
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: a cheater. He's been branded a dirty dog. He's a

735
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: dirty dog. George Springer and every Dodger fan in Chavez Ravine.

736
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: When the series gets to la will serenade him, right,

737
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: they still remember I was getting text from people that

738
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: were sending me messages from the twenty seventeen period of

739
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: time there that wretched world series. Bine bang, whistle whistle.

740
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 3: How about this?

741
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: Check him for the buzzer. How do we know he wasn't.

742
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 3: Wearing a buzzer?

743
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: Every time Springer walks up to the plate, he's going

744
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: to get the Alfred Hitchcock treatment. You know what that is.

745
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: That's going to.

746
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: Be the birds, the boo birds.

747
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: Is what he's going to get there.

748
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: And a reminder for those of you that are a

749
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: little slow and dumb. George Springer, jose Al Boove, and

750
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, the three headless horsemen of the Apocalypse of Baseball,

751
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: the greatest single scandal in the history of North American sport.

752
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: They got away with it, the whole dirt bag crew,

753
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: all of them, and Rob Manford, who should have dropped

754
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: the hammer on them. Instead he did nothing because he's

755
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: locking balls. He doesn't have any balls. Otherwise he would

756
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: have punished him. But they all should have been banned

757
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: for life. George Springer should have been banned for baseball

758
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 1: for life. That home run that happened in Game seven

759
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: of the ALC has should not have been allowed to

760
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: happen because he would have had now of him selling

761
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: insurance or doing something to get a real job. But

762
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: because the Commission's got no spine, George Springer, Altuve pregnant,

763
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: all those other cheats are allowed in baseball.

764
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: And it makes me want to vomit. I want a puke.

765
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: And so now some justice as he goes into Dodgers

766
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: Stadium would be saring anything. I'll lose the World Series.

767
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are winning the World Series, and so that's great,

768
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: and they'll boom and they'll serenade him installationious. He's the

769
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 1: bad guy, so that's good. And but so it gets

770
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: a bee because I mean it's Toronto. I can't go

771
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: higher than a bee with Toronto.

772
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: I can't do that.

773
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: But it's got star power. It's got that we mentioned's

774
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,480
