Speaker 2: We're streaming live. Covino and Rich fs are on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube, So Rich, can we
Speaker 1: start it off by saying, I'm really really torn right now,
Speaker 1: lying naked on the floor. I'm like Natalie and Brulia.
Speaker 1: I'm like Creed staff of Creed. I'm torn torn. I'm
Speaker 1: torn because I'm an Al East fan. I'm a Yankees fan,
Speaker 1: and I can't be the only guy that feels this way.
Speaker 2: So I don't like the Blue Jays. The Yankees lose
Speaker 2: Yankees I love that. Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1: They are a great and scrappy team, So I don't
Speaker 1: hate on their you know, game of baseball and how
Speaker 1: they play the game. I just don't like them as
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan. But then again, the Dodgers beat the Yankees.
Speaker 1: But I also live in La So I am so
Speaker 1: torn right now, and I'm wondering on behalf of everybody.
Speaker 1: Should I be leaning towards the Blue Jays because the
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the Yankees last year this year? Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but the Dodgers are so good that maybe they need
Speaker 1: to be humbled like the Iron Chic.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the Blue Jay's time.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll loom for the underdog because they are the
Speaker 1: underdogs in this series. You know, maybe we root for
Speaker 1: our our maple slurpin, teen love and floppyheaded hockey loving Canadians.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe we root for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: I am so torn right now because they're both hateable
Speaker 1: and George Springer, you know, he's a former astro. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a big fan of that guy either, but he
Speaker 1: had a huge moment last night. I can only tip
Speaker 1: my Yankee hat to that moment. It was so clutch.
Speaker 1: I'm so torn I'm a ball of emotions, mixed emotions
Speaker 1: here on the show. I mean, grab your Tim Horton's,
Speaker 1: grab some Cheesis or ketchup chips, and I say root
Speaker 1: for the Blue.
Speaker 2: Jays if i'm you.
Speaker 1: However, I think the factor here is a man that
Speaker 1: was the hero last night.
Speaker 2: George Springer.
Speaker 1: I said to Danny and Big Mike runs his place,
Speaker 1: who are both big Dodgers fans?
Speaker 2: I go, you guys over this whole.
Speaker 1: George Springer was on the Astros like eight years ago
Speaker 1: and cheating in the garbage cans. And I know Al
Speaker 1: Twovey is the face of that, but George Springer was part.
Speaker 2: Of the core of that team. Nobody forgot about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, does that still hold the layer tea where
Speaker 1: it's like Springer against the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: He's got one of them those punchable faces in all
Speaker 4: of baseball.
Speaker 2: I think we always will. Yeah, he does, he definitely does.
Speaker 1: But we also have to acknowledge the fact that when
Speaker 1: it comes to clutch in big moments in postseason, he's
Speaker 1: one of those names that can't be left out of
Speaker 1: the mix. He's come through too many times and you
Speaker 1: got to give him his prompts. But you could also
Speaker 1: say the Mariners, not that they kind of blew it,
Speaker 1: but knowing that George Springer is so clutch, is it
Speaker 1: automatic that you pitched to the guy? And not only
Speaker 1: do you pitch to the guy with an open base,
Speaker 1: it's the same guy that faced them the night before
Speaker 1: when they had their relief pitcher. They had Munnos on
Speaker 1: the bench ready to go. So it's like, man, did
Speaker 1: they blow that? Was that bad management? Or did just
Speaker 1: spring or come through? And that's the end of the game.
Speaker 1: And that's just how it is. You know, how do
Speaker 1: you look at that again? When I say I'm torn,
Speaker 1: I am so torn because I was surprised they pitched
Speaker 1: to him in that moment they left I think it
Speaker 1: was left a high sinker right there, right there for
Speaker 1: him to tee off on.
Speaker 2: And he you know, he did it. You got to
Speaker 2: give him credit for that.
Speaker 1: But still, why did they pitch to him? And why
Speaker 1: did they leave Bizarro in there? Bizarrero faced this dude
Speaker 1: twice already. That was bizarre, No, but bizarre, man, it
Speaker 1: was bizarre.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to making moves and Springer already
Speaker 1: knew his stuff. He already saw it the past few days,
Speaker 1: so that could have been a mistake in itself, but
Speaker 1: he's still capitalized on it. So there's a couple of
Speaker 1: layers here, layers to George Springer put some respect on
Speaker 1: his name. But is it in your mind still a
Speaker 1: cheating name that got away with something because and did
Speaker 1: that Ironers just blowing or did he win it? Like,
Speaker 1: how do you see this Astros team? You taste it's
Speaker 1: still a bad taste in your mouth from anyone affiliated
Speaker 1: with that Astros team. And you're a Yankees fan, Danny,
Speaker 1: you and people are out here at Fox Sports and
Speaker 1: live in l a or Dodgers fan.
Speaker 2: So the two.
Speaker 1: Teams, the two teams that I guess felt the wrath
Speaker 1: of that Astro's team is the moment for you two.
Speaker 1: So you tell me, are you mad? Because to me,
Speaker 1: George Springer is a blue jay that's the past, ancient history.
Speaker 1: He's proven he's a star. Or you still butt her
Speaker 1: at George Springer?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think mad or butt hurts the right term.
Speaker 4: It's just like a bad taste that's left in your mouth.
Speaker 1: Is it a breakup that you're not over type feeling
Speaker 1: like it.
Speaker 4: Was more of like what could have been, you know,
Speaker 4: had that not gone down the way it did.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like he doesn't deserve this?
Speaker 4: No, I feel like he deserved to be punished, as
Speaker 4: did his teammates back then, and they never had to
Speaker 4: serve any sort of punishment, and so that's what leaves
Speaker 4: the bad taste.
Speaker 2: They got away. Mike Scott freees Mike Scott.
Speaker 4: He's a former and like Covino said, you got to
Speaker 4: give the guy respect. He's he's a great clutch player.
Speaker 4: He keeps proving that. But dating back to that cheating
Speaker 4: ass stros team, that's that's never risks for us. That's
Speaker 4: this is never gonna go away. We're never gonna forget that.
Speaker 1: I mean, the left time. All of these things are true.
Speaker 1: Enough time, it's just a matter of what way stronger
Speaker 1: in your heart could you know? Enough time will pass
Speaker 1: while fans forget, because fans get older, fans die, young,
Speaker 1: fans are born, like there's gonna be a time where
Speaker 1: you just look back to that is never You're trying
Speaker 1: to race like something that actually happened. I'm never gonna forget.
Speaker 1: Doesn't go away. It's in the books. Everybody knows. Everyone
Speaker 1: that was alive knows, and even people who are still young,
Speaker 1: your little son about this. It'll be a little note
Speaker 1: but great because my son who's five and his otdle
Speaker 1: t ball buddies. I guarantee you as they become teenagers
Speaker 1: and twenty year olds, none of them are gonna be
Speaker 1: like yeah, like El two in Springer and the cheating Astros,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be just a story to them and maybe
Speaker 1: a highlight man, maybe we will. They banging on trash
Speaker 1: cans like they won't even care. So I'm saying he
Speaker 1: teed off on that sinker so hard. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if he knew what Pitt was coming last night.
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many ways to look at this,
Speaker 1: but I'm really not Yeah, they were.
Speaker 2: Tapping on maple jugs. You know.
Speaker 1: I think Big Mike, who runs this place, he has
Speaker 1: tons of wisdom. I actually do agree with him when
Speaker 1: I think of the cheating astros, George Springer for his
Speaker 1: clutch as he always was with that team. He isn't
Speaker 1: the guy I think of. It's Al Tuvey. I think
Speaker 1: what he did last night was big for the Blue Jays,
Speaker 1: and I sort of associate him now, is hey He's
Speaker 1: a big moment guy, and he proved it again with Toronto.
Speaker 1: If he beats the Dodgers in the World Series, meaning
Speaker 1: if Springer is an influential player, gets a couple of
Speaker 1: base hits or home runs in key spots and they
Speaker 1: somehow upset the Dodgers. Is the the thought of like,
Speaker 1: well Springer was, I mean, he was a cheater and
Speaker 1: he knew it was coming.
Speaker 2: Is that in the past? Do we does this look
Speaker 2: like a child?
Speaker 4: How do those I was gonna say, Rich, How do
Speaker 4: those two things cancel each other out? They do what
Speaker 4: it does for different seasons. It's different teams.
Speaker 2: What have you done for me lately? Do do doo
Speaker 2: doo doo? Dude?
Speaker 1: It doesn't change the fact there are two separate events.
Speaker 1: He had a big moment last night. He was also
Speaker 1: part of a cheating team. Although I don't really make
Speaker 1: him the face of that organization. I look at Al
Speaker 1: Tuvey as that guy, but I also think in the
Speaker 1: same breath that it was a bad move pitching to
Speaker 1: the guy. I'm not saying you walk them, but you
Speaker 1: pitch around him. You don't lay a meat balls. Your
Speaker 1: mom would say, Rich right in his zone after he's
Speaker 1: senior sinker two days in a row. I think that
Speaker 1: was a bad rookie mistake last night, and the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays reaped all the benefits. The crowd erupted, and you
Speaker 1: have a heartbroken Seattle team and fan base out there
Speaker 1: that deserved a little more than that. Man, I think
Speaker 1: that's a tough way to lose. You had the win,
Speaker 1: you had it right there in front of you, and
Speaker 1: you heard the screams and you heard the emotion in
Speaker 1: the locker room afterward.
Speaker 2: It's not Ai, it's not fake.
Speaker 1: But you when you see the Mariners being interviewed, you
Speaker 1: hear dudes moaning in sorrow and in heartbreak in the
Speaker 1: locker room.
Speaker 2: You hearn.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: You see cal Rowney, who had the most magical season
Speaker 1: maybe of all time, you see him in tears because
Speaker 1: it hurts so much, all because you pitched to George Springer.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that was the best mom but he
Speaker 1: came through. Let me be trivia boy for a second.
Speaker 1: Sure with that home run, Your dude, George Springer, you
Speaker 1: love him, Danny, you love him.
Speaker 2: Comino.
Speaker 1: George Springer is now tied for third all time in
Speaker 1: postseason home runs. Can you round out the top five
Speaker 1: off the top of the dome and throw a.
Speaker 2: Couple of names. Bernie B. Williams is in there. Bernie's
Speaker 2: number five. Derek Jeeters got to be in.
Speaker 1: Jeter just misses the top five. Oh he does, yeah,
Speaker 1: number five, Bernie with twenty two. Springer has twenty three,
Speaker 1: so he's now tied with Big Poppy Big Poppy Nod
Speaker 1: on the list.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well how about you just tell me.
Speaker 1: L two Vey is on the list and Manny Ramirez
Speaker 1: number one, Many has twenty Manny has twenty nine, Al
Speaker 1: tuoves twenty seven, and then Kyle Schwarber tied with and
Speaker 1: Springer have twenty three. That's incredible, incredible too, Astro. It's
Speaker 1: easy to hit twenty three. And when you know a
Speaker 1: pitch is coming at least twenty two of them, you
Speaker 1: know what's or juice out of your mind, but you
Speaker 1: know at the same time. I again, this is why
Speaker 1: I'm torn, Dan Byer. People come here sometimes for the answers.
Speaker 1: I'm really saying, I don't know how to feel because
Speaker 1: he came through in a really big moment that was
Speaker 1: as clutch as it gets, right, So I want to
Speaker 1: hate on him. But what I saw was impressive, and
Speaker 1: I love how he handled himself in the post game
Speaker 1: when he immediately and again their media trained and he's
Speaker 1: been there, done that, and he's very polished in the postseason.
Speaker 1: But everything he said was dead on awesome. The country too,
Speaker 1: He thanked the country. He had his teammates first. He
Speaker 1: put you know when he said he thinks about the
Speaker 1: at bat, he thinks about the players that got on
Speaker 1: base to allow him to do that. He put his
Speaker 1: team before himself every time he was interviewed. So it
Speaker 1: makes him that much more likable. Or he could say
Speaker 1: he has to be that guy because everybody sort of
Speaker 1: hates him from the Astros days. It was a big moment.
Speaker 1: I'm very torn, and as a Yankees fan, I'm especially torn.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? It was pretty awesome to see
Speaker 1: and pretty awesome he here the Blue Jays fans erupt,
Speaker 1: even though I'm a Yankees fan.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a dog in the fight last night,
Speaker 3: and I don't have a dog in the fight. Usually
Speaker 3: have dog fights, you, Michael two thousands. No, No, I
Speaker 3: did not completely derailed with that. I didn't. I wasn't
Speaker 3: cheering for anyone last night. However, I also can't stand
Speaker 3: it when people take sports and try to compare it
Speaker 3: to real life, because I think it's probably better in
Speaker 3: life sometimes to just forget something to forgive something. It's
Speaker 3: not the case in sports because sports is usually a
Speaker 3: small amount of time. There's a small amount of time
Speaker 3: in George Springer's life that he's going to spend as
Speaker 3: a professional baseball player. But it's that portion, that cheating
Speaker 3: scandal that I think does label you and continue to
Speaker 3: label you. He went through a thin didn't have a
Speaker 3: stuttering problem. He had, you know, a speech issue that
Speaker 3: he has overcome. You mentioned his speech last night in
Speaker 3: speaking Everybody loves him now, and it's easy to say
Speaker 3: that was in the past, but they the players were
Speaker 3: never punished, he Altuve and others, And to me, I
Speaker 3: just I can't get over it. I can't get past it.
Speaker 3: And it's not different than a steroid situation or someone else.
Speaker 3: So if you have issues with those guys, I still
Speaker 3: think that you should have an issue with someone like Springer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't erase the past and sports.
Speaker 1: It's different there as fans, we are exactly fanatical, right,
Speaker 1: Like this is not like I forgive my buddy for
Speaker 1: doing something dumb, or you know, I forgive my the
Speaker 1: girl i'm dating for, you know whatever, it's different. I agree,
Speaker 1: there's something about sports you're fan. There's a different level
Speaker 1: of like I don't have to forgive these people, like like.
Speaker 2: Your uncle that was drunk a Thanksgiving or something.
Speaker 3: Sure, and you know, something is something. As somebody cuts
Speaker 3: you off in traffic, HA, probably better just to let
Speaker 3: it go. And as you said, you could take it
Speaker 3: with family issues. Hey, if this neighbor's been a jerk
Speaker 3: for so long, maybe it's just better for your own
Speaker 3: life to Yeah, yeah, just move on, not worry about it.
Speaker 3: But that's where sports in real life aren't the same.
Speaker 3: And I think that's I underst why people who were
Speaker 3: against the Astros and against L two V and George
Speaker 3: Springer probably didn't celebrate last night.
Speaker 1: You know. It also is easy for me as a
Speaker 1: Mets fan to be like, guys, get over it. Who cares?
Speaker 1: But I promise you that if the Astros got in
Speaker 1: the way of the Mets, had had my Mets lost
Speaker 1: to the Astros in the World Series in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would be singing a different tune.
Speaker 2: Danny G.
Speaker 1: And if the Astros beat the Yankees, and I was
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan along the way, I'm only like who
Speaker 1: cares because it didn't affect me, And unfortunately that's how
Speaker 1: so many people feel.
Speaker 2: Right, if it doesn't affect me, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like an alleged thing. Everybody knows what happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's factual. We all saw it, we all
Speaker 1: heard it, we all witnessed it. And by the way,
Speaker 1: Dan Buyer a great point. It does make George Springer
Speaker 1: a little more likable too. He overcame his stutter and
Speaker 1: became the spokesperson for the Stuttering Association for the Young,
Speaker 1: So giving back to the kids stepping up in big moments,
Speaker 1: putting his teammates first.
Speaker 4: He's sort of he should have stuttered saying look.
Speaker 2: At look at it.
Speaker 4: That's great about that story about him. But like Bayer said,
Speaker 4: these guys never came out and admitted any wrongdoing. They
Speaker 4: never got punished. And we live in a society, especially
Speaker 4: in sports, where we love to see a comeback. We
Speaker 4: loved even your guy Pettit. What did he do? He
Speaker 4: handled things the right way. This is why I did it,
Speaker 4: and we forgave him and those guys, And like Bayer said,
Speaker 4: this is kind of like the steroids issue because we
Speaker 4: do not forget. We're like elephants with sports. That is true,
Speaker 4: and so I want to like him. They didn't take
Speaker 4: enough accountability. Yeah, and it is hard. I wanted to
Speaker 4: chair last night. I thought that was a great moment,
Speaker 4: But in the back of my mind, I kept thinking, God,
Speaker 4: I can't get over it. But and I don't want
Speaker 4: to be like that, but I couldn't help it.
Speaker 1: So are we cheering for the Blue Jays or the Dodgers?
Speaker 1: If the Mariners ended up winning, you knew the entire
Speaker 1: country was rooting for the Mariners, unless, of course you're
Speaker 1: a Dodgers fan. That's just the fact. That's just how
Speaker 1: it was. Because it was like, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: their first time ever. This is a nice team, a
Speaker 1: great story. However, this is the Blue Jay's first time
Speaker 1: back in the World Series in thirty two years. You
Speaker 1: got this Springer thing again. They shouldn't have pitched to him.
Speaker 1: I'm a Yankees fan, I'm torn. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 1: Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Regardless, which is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite big words, regardless, regardless of anything,
Speaker 1: to come through in that moment. My goodness, that is
Speaker 1: the reason why we watched sports. That is the reason
Speaker 1: why baseball has been more electric than ever before or
Speaker 1: in years, I should say in years, because that was
Speaker 1: the timing of it, the moment, everything about it was just,
Speaker 1: my goodness. I had to stand up out of my chair.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe is it true? By
Speaker 1: the way, that George Springer was the kid in Billy
Speaker 1: Madison that Billy Madison said to today Junior, i'm me
Speaker 1: said that is that.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, it's.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's an interesting guy, right, because you're right he
Speaker 1: said everything right. He seems like everything right. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: on that forgiveness campaign. Hey Rich, what were you doing though,
Speaker 1: because last night you had Lions Seahawks, you had their
Speaker 1: those games on. Were you going back and forth the
Speaker 1: whole time? I'll be honest, I watched mostly baseball, Yeah,
Speaker 1: same time, and I was I was going back and
Speaker 1: forth checking on football. I feel like baseball them Buyer
Speaker 1: Seahawks had a great.
Speaker 2: Control of that game for the most part.
Speaker 1: Maybe it appeared the Buccaneers Lions, but I felt the
Speaker 1: Lions were running away with it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping it on.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest that.
Speaker 1: The Lions did what we said yesterday. They asserted that
Speaker 1: I listen, Baker, you're awesome.
Speaker 2: Bucks. You know you're you're a good team. You'll be there.
Speaker 1: But the Lions made a case last night that like
Speaker 1: they could still be the best in the NFCL YEA.
Speaker 1: Once they were running with the game, I left it
Speaker 1: on baseball just to see what happened. When Springer came
Speaker 1: through like that, I was just like, man, that that's
Speaker 1: the different rents right there. Yeah, those big moment players,
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys. But he was also
Speaker 1: a cheater. So it's not about forgiving. But can you
Speaker 1: root for them moving forward against your Dodgers? Think about it.
Speaker 1: It all begins Friday night World Series baseball. And not
Speaker 1: only that, Dodgers mind us two twenty in Vegas to
Speaker 1: win the series. So Dodgers are a significant favorite. They
Speaker 1: got their hands full, man, And that's the other reason
Speaker 1: that you might want.
Speaker 2: To root for them.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are so damn good. So you got the
Speaker 1: World Series on Friday, you got foosball heating up, you
Speaker 1: got more games on Thursday, and you.
Speaker 2: Got the NBA starting to know it's.
Speaker 1: So wrong, it's crazy. Hey, I'll tell you why I'm
Speaker 1: against this. Why you know I have a thought on this.

Speaker 1: you like, They're like, we'll call you back at a
Speaker 1: later time. I'm like, no, not now.
Speaker 4: It is dead and my hope nime reasons for my intention.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want to see me interview
Speaker 1: Creed Reunited and Unplugged, search Creed on the series six
Speaker 1: m app. I'm Covino. That is Rich Covino and Rich
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Remember, if you want to see us,
Speaker 1: do our fang go to YouTube dot com slash at
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich FSSR. Spotty's got our video stream up.
Speaker 1: There's also a live chat. Again you could watch what
Speaker 1: you hear at Covino and Rich FSSR and we appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Send it some friends. Stick around for Dan Buyer's update
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. Iowa Sam is here. Danny G's
Speaker 1: on the phones at eighty seven to seven ninety nine
Speaker 1: on Fox.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you Fox Sports Radio how you think
Speaker 1: I should feel. I'm just sort of venting and expressing
Speaker 1: my emotions here because I like it, you know what,
Speaker 1: Because I think so many times on podcasts and radio
Speaker 1: people have like a BS opinion, even if it like
Speaker 1: they didn't even know the subject matter.
Speaker 2: I like that you're asking, like y'all don't know how
Speaker 2: to feel.
Speaker 1: We're not, so I think it's BS what everyone feels
Speaker 1: like they have to have a hot take no matter what,
Speaker 1: Like you don't if you're tell me your feelings are
Speaker 1: like I hate the Blue Jays but the Rodgers. Again,
Speaker 1: I get the I get the sentiment because so many
Speaker 1: people feel that way. Yeah, I want both of them
Speaker 1: to lose, but at the same time, yeah, it would
Speaker 1: be cool to see the Blue Jays beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the Yankees last year. I live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: That's another factor. I'm going through the feedback. TM ten says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Goofy calls me goofy. Hey, thanks man, Hey Goofy. It's
Speaker 1: okay to not root for anybody, but that's not fun, right.
Speaker 1: It's like, here's the thing. I gotta give the scar
Speaker 1: lot of brothers some props. Here, the scar Lotta brothers.
Speaker 1: These two Jabbronis from the East Coast. Do you ever
Speaker 1: see these twins? They were on the circle, I think so. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they're like baseball fans. They made this video range of
Speaker 1: a Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: You scumbags. Not that I'm rooting for you, but I'm
Speaker 2: rooting for you, like go get them.
Speaker 1: I don't like you, I'm not rooting for you, but
Speaker 1: I kind of want you to beat the Dodgers, right,
Speaker 1: because they are the new evil empire.
Speaker 2: They are too good. But I also live in La.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should have brace it, but they'd be the
Speaker 2: get out. But then I look at this evil empire La.
Speaker 2: I see what you do there. But is there a party?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Then I then I start to be soft, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, Danny and Bo and a lot of the
Speaker 1: guys that work here, they'd be happy if the Dodgers win.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you know what, they don't care if
Speaker 1: the Mets winning, I'm happy.
Speaker 2: Correct, they don't. They don't. They don't. In fact, they
Speaker 2: may chuckle when my team loses.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: My most surprising thing, and working with Covino and Rich
Speaker 3: over these last couple of years, of how supportive you
Speaker 3: are of other people's teams, because and we've talked about this,
Speaker 3: so I'm telling Cavena right now, do the Dan Bayer rule.
Speaker 3: Don't have a cheering don't cheer for a team going in.
Speaker 3: Just sit down and watch the game and let nature
Speaker 3: take it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll figure it out. Right, It's like a fight night.
Speaker 1: You're all these fighters by round four or five, you
Speaker 1: know who You're just let it take its course.
Speaker 2: Think it's going to be the Blue Jays because they're
Speaker 2: the underdogs.
Speaker 4: You know who it is who is likable. And if
Speaker 4: I wasn't a Dodgers fan, I would root for him.
Speaker 4: Vlad Junior.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's talks so much smacking about That's why
Speaker 2: you don't like him better.
Speaker 4: I mean, I like watching him play as a baseball fan,
Speaker 4: you Baddy.
Speaker 1: As a baseball fan, We've all seen the kid grow up,
Speaker 1: and that is a cool story.
Speaker 2: He's playing with a.
Speaker 1: Lot of heart seeing him as a little boy. The
Speaker 1: pictures you're seeing on social media, it's great.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I think by the fifth inning Cavino of Game one,
Speaker 3: Cavina is going to be like, Babe, you want to
Speaker 3: get some boutine? Like, yeah, I got a little craving
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 1: You know what, man, I'm from Jersey. We call those
Speaker 1: disco fries. Oh I don't ever want poutine disco fries.
Speaker 1: So your thoughts Fox Sports Radio Nation, and then of
Speaker 1: course we got to talk some NBA because Rich I
Speaker 1: just can't handle it. Florida and John, what's up man?
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on George Springer? Is he off the hook?
Speaker 1: Do you still think cheater?
Speaker 2: What do you think? Man?
Speaker 1: No, you guys listen, I'm gonna take another spin at this. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was on the Houston team when they cheat it.
Speaker 1: So give the Dodgers a little redemption for a little revenge.
Speaker 1: Where's this twist?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: They can't play Houston to get revenge, so you get
Speaker 1: revenge on this.
Speaker 2: I love that the whole team. Yeah, like anybody was
Speaker 2: a big part of that. And he's a big part
Speaker 2: of the being in the World Series this year.
Speaker 4: This Blue Jays team hasn't you know, been back to
Speaker 4: the World Series in thirty two years?
Speaker 2: Thirty two years? And by the way, Boba, how can
Speaker 2: he not root for him?
Speaker 4: He's not even in our country, Sam.
Speaker 1: Here's another layer for another. Bobaet announced in the celebration
Speaker 1: yesterday that he'd be back for the World Series. Even
Speaker 1: though he's an incredible player, it's like, do you want
Speaker 1: to mess with the chemistry now that they've been rolling
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 2: That's another though. I might as well bring back Dave
Speaker 2: Steve while he's a legend. You I heard John Olaood
Speaker 2: and his helmet are waiting on standby.
Speaker 1: So Boba, she is ready to play your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the matchup. It goes down Friday, How do you feel
Speaker 1: about it? Who we got next?
Speaker 2: Pete? That's Pete, Hey, Pete in Oklahoma. You're on CAO. Listen.
Speaker 3: The only reason to route, and I'm not telling you
Speaker 3: what to do, the only reason to root for the Blues.
Speaker 2: Agent he's done mattically, That's the only reason. Here's your answer.
Speaker 1: So glad you dropt that domatically been in the part
Speaker 1: of middle league baseball since the early eighties, and this
Speaker 1: is his first World Series visit as a coach, a manager,
Speaker 1: a player, or anything. So as a Yankees fan, well,
Speaker 1: you do hate the Blue Jays and the Dodgers that
Speaker 1: burnt you as a child, and as an adult last
Speaker 1: year you might have to pull for Donnie Baseball. I mean,
Speaker 1: how could you not hit man who's more baseball than
Speaker 1: that guy and who's more deserving than not.
Speaker 2: He waved to you and your dad in traffic in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight. He really did.
Speaker 1: True story. But you know I'm getting more feedback. Jay Gata, Jay,
Speaker 1: getta hit me up, and he goes, dude, for all
Speaker 1: your Dodgers friends and family. You live in LA and
Speaker 1: rich Dack goes to you and your kid and all
Speaker 1: their friends who love the Dodgers. My kids are like,
Speaker 1: of course, Dad, the Dodgers, and you know, that's like
Speaker 1: their team sort of now unfortunately, but for the rest
Speaker 1: of the country it's not as clear either it would
Speaker 1: have been if the Mariners won. You're rooting for the
Speaker 1: Mariners unless you live in La. Yeah. With the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays and George Springer and again Vlattie, he's not that
Speaker 1: likeable in my opinion. You know your thoughts well at
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich. Either way, it all goes down on Friday,
Speaker 1: and you better believe we're tuning in. We'll be talking
Speaker 1: about it. And now we got to start getting ready
Speaker 1: for the NBA as well.
Speaker 2: We don't.
Speaker 1: We don't, and I'll explain why we don't have to
Speaker 1: get ready for the NBA. I have a gripe with
Speaker 1: the whole league. I also on the anniversary, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's back to the future day when Doc Emmitt Brown said,
Speaker 1: let's go come a future Marty, it's not your your
Speaker 1: kids and they went to twenty fifteen. Is it a
Speaker 1: while to think the future is ten years ago? Think
Speaker 1: about that for a second. So we're gonna go back
Speaker 1: to the last time the Blue Jays won, and we'll
Speaker 1: take our little Cavino Rich Fox Sports Radio time machine
Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety three. All coming up right here, So
Speaker 1: let's go to Dan By for an update.
Speaker 2: dB. What's doing Buddy?
Speaker 3: A lot going on in the world of sports, and
Speaker 3: we start in New York, where the Jets are reportedly
Speaker 3: going to make a change at quarterback. Justin Fields, the
Speaker 3: starter for the first portion of the season, was replaced
Speaker 3: last weekend by Tarrod Taylor for the second half. Head
Speaker 3: coach Aaron Glenn making that move now ESPN is reporting
Speaker 3: that Taylor is going to start Week eight in Cincinnati
Speaker 3: against the Bengals. This on the heels of the comments
Speaker 3: made earlier today by Jets owner Woody Johnson, who gave
Speaker 3: head coach Aaron Glenn a vote of confidence, but not
Speaker 3: so much for Fields as a quarterback.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's turning around parts of it.
Speaker 6: You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
Speaker 6: a rating that we've got, you know, I mean, he
Speaker 6: has the ability, but something just is not jiving. But
Speaker 6: if you look at any head coach or the quarterback
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 2: You're going to see similar results. If you will across
Speaker 2: the league.
Speaker 3: That was from Woody Johnson earlier today, but the Jets
Speaker 3: likely turning to Torod Taylor. According to a report from ESPN,
Speaker 3: Vikings will start Carson Wentzet quarterback on Thursday night in
Speaker 3: LA against the Chargers. JJ McCarthy still not ready because
Speaker 3: of that high ankle Sprain McCarthy will be the emergency
Speaker 3: quarterback that showdown. The Vikings did open the twenty one
Speaker 3: day practice window for running back Aaron Jones, who was
Speaker 3: on ir edge. Rusher Brandon Graham has ended his retirement
Speaker 3: to play again for the Philadelphia Eagles. Giants release kicker
Speaker 3: Jude Mcatamney after Mcatamney missed two extra points in their
Speaker 3: loss to the Broncos this past weekend. Speaking of the Broncos,
Speaker 3: New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson responded via x the
Speaker 3: comments indirectly made about him by Broncos head coach Sean
Speaker 3: Bayton after Sunday's game. Wilson today posted on social media
Speaker 3: quote class list but not surprised. Didn't realize you're still
Speaker 3: bounty hunting fifteen plus years later through the media that
Speaker 3: from Russell Wilson Bill Belichick one of twelve coaches that
Speaker 3: have moved to the next round of possible induction into
Speaker 3: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Angels are hiring Kurt
Speaker 3: Suzuki as their new manager. He spent the previous three
Speaker 3: seasons in the Angels front office, and tonight the NBA's
Speaker 3: regular season begins. Rockets and Thunder, seven thirty Eastern Warriors
Speaker 3: and Lakers ten Eastern guys.
Speaker 1: Back to you, dad, buy that story is a little juicy.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that a little bit next hour.
Speaker 1: Because when Russ responds on social media and it's very clear,
Speaker 1: I mean, we all knew there was no love loss
Speaker 1: between him and Sean Payton, but now when they're taking
Speaker 1: little jabs at each other, I think it's investigating. Yes,
Speaker 1: we should investigate a little bit. And by the way,
Speaker 1: shout out to John at the DMV that just helped me.
Speaker 1: I put my phone down and he listened to that
Speaker 1: whole last segment and I picked it up while while
Speaker 1: you were doing your update, Like, I'm so sorry. He
Speaker 1: goes really good show. I download the pod covet on
Speaker 1: Rich But you say he really vibes with your co
Speaker 1: host or no, he goes that guy he's all right,
Speaker 1: but he's like, you're right, Don Manningly, we should be
Speaker 1: rooting for that guy, the poor guy. I get this.
Speaker 1: Our show must have been so compelling. I put him
Speaker 1: on hold. I put DMV on hold. Then he goes, no,
Speaker 1: it's so good, I'll listen.
Speaker 3: Sure, he probably doesn't want to have to deal with
Speaker 3: anybody else.
Speaker 1: Listening to our show was better than answering someone else,
Speaker 1: So thank you. The only happens to you, you cheese weenie.
Speaker 1: If it was me, that person would have hung up immediately.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, because I waited all day for that
Speaker 1: call back, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: I call you back sometime today. I thought I was
Speaker 2: gonna have to go back to the dmvase.
Speaker 1: Wondering when is your is your luck just I mean,
Speaker 1: as your co host and friend, I hope your luck
Speaker 1: continues to just ride on and things go smooth.
Speaker 4: His neighbor just agreed to pay for half of his fence.
Speaker 4: This guy every day, Yes, if that was my name. Remember,
Speaker 4: Rich wasn't going to touch that fence because it was
Speaker 4: going to cost too much. His neighbor just happened to say, hey, buddy,
Speaker 4: I'll split that fence with consider it karma.
Speaker 1: Rich, Well, I try to do a lot of good things,
Speaker 1: but by pain and the ass things I don't bring
Speaker 1: up because I try to lead with positivity. But if
Speaker 1: you want, we could do it a weekly. What really annoyed?
Speaker 3: Rich?
Speaker 2: Does?
Speaker 1: Trust me because I'm telling you not that bad things
Speaker 1: happen your boy here, but I guarantee you I would
Speaker 1: have been hung up on in that situation. Hello, My
Speaker 1: guy's like, could you don't Rich, I'll go download the pod.
Speaker 2: No, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: The invase guy stayed on hold for twelve minutes waiting
Speaker 1: for Rich.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Thanks John. We got a new Dan.
Speaker 1: We got a new new lessoner on the podcast, Rich,
Speaker 1: there's a ay drama. I was watching you don't believe
Speaker 1: it or not. I still watched Tosh Daniel Tosh not
Speaker 1: on Comedy Central but on his social media, and he
Speaker 1: was like, is this Lebron's last year? He's like, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine a league without Lebron James. And if that's
Speaker 1: the case, like we said about Shohil Tani earlier this week,
Speaker 1: we really got to embrace Lebron James. Whether you like
Speaker 1: him or not, you might not see. Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see guys like this I.
Speaker 4: Did is their throwback jersey this season.
Speaker 1: You gotta take it. He's still play. Take it in
Speaker 1: and embrace the guy. I think with guys like wen
Speaker 1: Bin Yama in the league, yeah, you're gonna see lots
Speaker 1: of breaks.
Speaker 2: Me say it, not yet, but still embrace it.
Speaker 1: If I said, guys, party at someone's place seven o'clock,
Speaker 1: when do you show up?
Speaker 2: Think about that. Don't answer now.
Speaker 1: If someone says, hey, we're have people for drinks and
Speaker 1: some dinner seven o'clock, when are you showing up? Because
Speaker 1: I think the NBA doesn't know social cues and I'll
Speaker 1: explain coming up right here. Covino on Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the position has been filled. Dia Renne Gates
Speaker 2: a fuck.
Speaker 1: Well, like I said, where the Renegade's are fun, super
Speaker 1: fun time, Cavino and Rich Renegade's a Fox. There you go, Sam,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the members of Rage Against the Machine
Speaker 1: are down with the Battle of Los Angeles and shout
Speaker 1: out to my buddy lenn and Idaho. He's rooting for
Speaker 1: his Dodgers. Danny g is excited about it. Oh, Dodgers
Speaker 1: hold on Blue Jays this Friday. I've torn based on
Speaker 1: what Dan Bayer said. We got to play the day
Speaker 1: in a second, Danny, I know, to keep your choni's on.
Speaker 1: But what Dan Byer said was interesting. We're too kind.
Speaker 1: No one roots for our teams. It's not like it's
Speaker 1: not like everyone's secrets. Like, really, I hope Rich's Mets win.
Speaker 2: So why am I being? Really?
Speaker 4: Nobody's supportive of your team? How many Mets cards have I.
Speaker 1: You might be the lone guy that makes me think
Speaker 1: you know the Dodgers Mets bobbleheads.
Speaker 2: That's true, You're a good guy. I don't know. I'm torn, like,
Speaker 2: can you.
Speaker 1: Know your father, your future father in your girlfriend's dad
Speaker 1: likes the Dodgers and you're not, and you're gonna root
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: He's an LA guy.
Speaker 1: Well, Donny, baseball is uh a deciding factor here? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but maybe the best team win. I'm a
Speaker 1: little torn on it. Well, I imagine there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are torn on it. With the whole George
Speaker 1: Springer cheating storyline, even though that was a clutch moment. Again,
Speaker 1: all these things make it a confusing sort of situation, but.
Speaker 2: Or maybe just maybe just all like Canadians.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, We've made this point before and Dan
Speaker 1: Byer blame Canada, blame Canada. You need to settle down there, buddy.
Speaker 1: I just really up said that Justin Trudeau is getting
Speaker 1: with Katy Perry.
Speaker 2: That is true. Do what yeah Trudeau? Wow? Wow, Dan Meyer.
Speaker 1: Much like a prize fight, you said it before, you
Speaker 1: sit back, you watch and you'll figure it out. You
Speaker 1: end up rooting for somebody, whether you want to or not.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's time for our Tiraq play of the day.
Speaker 1: We're lying from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Toronto is
Speaker 1: headed to the World Series their first time since nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three.
Speaker 4: Full count two outs, top of the ninth game seven
Speaker 4: of the ALCS, Hoppin's payoff.
Speaker 2: Pitch Blue's Egs win, the bnheads the Blues Eggs, when
Speaker 2: the bneans they're going to the World Series. Not the beat,
Speaker 2: it's so good, way mo speaker, Bluejay, hold on, hold on, mentioners, man,
Speaker 2: they will take on the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Not to be nitpicking, but if you watch the ninth
Speaker 1: so you feel like they could have drawn a walk.
Speaker 1: I feel like they every batter swung at one like
Speaker 1: you know, cutter out of the zone like I mean,
Speaker 1: I know I'm being picky. It's a ninth and everyone's pressing.
Speaker 1: But you got to get cal runner on. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: had it like you and even the closer said the
Speaker 1: goal was to not face cal Raley. I know is
Speaker 1: common knowledge probably to some, but I had a Google.
Speaker 1: Jeff Hoffman related to Trevor. No, the answer is no,
Speaker 1: but you know grew up idolizing them of Blue Jays
Speaker 1: Radio Network. I'm not sure about that, Sam, I'll google it.
Speaker 1: And that's our tire ract play of the day. For
Speaker 1: over forty years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the right
Speaker 1: tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship Fast
Speaker 1: and free back by free Road has their protection with
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tyraq dot com.
Speaker 2: The tire buying should be now. The NBA. I have
Speaker 2: two words.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked about the two words everyone loves game sho.
Speaker 1: Two words for the NBA. Who cares? Wow, you gotta
Speaker 1: brought to you by Draftkicks. The NBA games the only
Speaker 1: reason to watch gamble because right now, when you are
Speaker 1: watching the World Series in a couple of days when
Speaker 1: you're right smack dab week seven then eight of the NFL.
Speaker 1: Not only that, you're trying to figure out the NFL.
Speaker 1: You're like, what is going now? Like we are, we're
Speaker 1: in the midst of we had a double doozy Monday
Speaker 1: night football last night. It's an interesting your seasons. You're
Speaker 1: trying to decide who am I pulling for in the
Speaker 1: World Series? October Baseball, Halloweens. You know, in a week
Speaker 1: your kids are probably figuring out their trunk re treat
Speaker 1: and trick or treat. I'm watching The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix, saying,
Speaker 1: what the hell I'm watching Chad Powers because no one
Speaker 1: else is and it's so freaking good five episodes in.
Speaker 1: You idiots better be watching Chad Powers.
Speaker 2: Danny G.
Speaker 1: Follow me on this one. I'll follow you on task
Speaker 1: I started last night. HBO mix the NBA, not to
Speaker 1: reminds you of you know, we go to Vegas, Danny
Speaker 1: J and they say, oh, the fights start at five thirty,
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, do they really or do they
Speaker 1: really started like eight o'clock because you're like, then you
Speaker 1: start doing the math, You're like the main event usually
Speaker 1: starts at all eleven eleven thirty on the East, so
Speaker 1: the good fights really don't start.
Speaker 2: Until it's like three hours of warm ups.
Speaker 1: It's like a waste. It's like preseason NFL. It's like
Speaker 1: telling someone, Hey, we're having people over at US seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: The host doesn't think you're really showing up at seven.
Speaker 1: They assume seven point fifteen is the time. Right, No
Speaker 1: one shows up at im here seven oh one. Like
Speaker 1: would jumping the gun NBA, no one cares until after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: In fact, the best you ever in the NBA was
Speaker 1: when it was remember Christmas Day, That shortened seas were
Speaker 1: like perfect. The NBA tips off on Christmas Day the
Speaker 1: next month and a half. I'm gonna, I'm honest, right now,
Speaker 1: i am going to be watching highlights faking my interest
Speaker 1: in the NBA until Christmas. He's not lying about that
Speaker 1: shortened season being the most exciting season.
Speaker 2: It really was. Some of that was action just started
Speaker 2: and we got right into it.
Speaker 4: It seemed like the perfect amount of time. But not
Speaker 4: for the owner pockets. And that's why they're not going
Speaker 4: to listen to all of our hot takes about you
Speaker 4: should start on Christmas day every year.
Speaker 1: Ynny, you know what it's Uh, it's only because of
Speaker 1: a couple of storylines, and you know, us trying to
Speaker 1: fish for good content for the show, and there's always
Speaker 1: gonna be some trauma, right, and you know you want
Speaker 1: to see what new players are emerging.
Speaker 2: Does Wenby take a big step forward this year?
Speaker 1: And anyone be okay, okay, we've only gotten better exactly.
Speaker 4: So the Rockets roll out the tallest opening day lineup
Speaker 4: in NBA history, and then you're.
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna be very intrigued by like, what do
Speaker 2: the Mavericks look like? Healthy?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: I get it to storylines, but other than for work
Speaker 1: purposes and to stay in the loop as a grown man,
Speaker 1: I have zero interest in the NBA until Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: I open might as well put in my stocking stuffer NBA.
Speaker 1: Oh look at this little marshmallow Santa and the NBA,
Speaker 1: because until until Christmas Day, the NBA I don't care
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 2: I don't care, and I'll stick to it. I don't
Speaker 2: care
