  us,
• 1:49
  you

  you've

  New

  York
• 1:51
  sports
• 1:51
  for
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  very
• 1:52
  long
• 1:52
  time,
• 1:53
  how
• 1:53
  this
• 1:54
  book
• 1:54
  came
• 1:54
  about
• 1:55
  at
• 1:55
  this
• 1:55
  point
• 1:55
  and,
• 1:55
  and
• 1:56
  where.
• 1:56
  It's
• 1:57
  going
• 1:57
  from
• 1:57
  here.
• 1:57
  I
• 1:57
  was
• 1:58
  like,
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  wouldn't
• 1:58
  mind.
• 1:59
  You
• 1:59
  know,
• 1:59
  guys,
• 2:00
  I,
• 2:00
  I
• 2:00
  hear
• 2:00
  from
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  lot
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  fans,
• 2:02
  and
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  don't
• 2:03
  think
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  lot
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  them
• 2:04
  remember
• 2:04
  what
• 2:04
  George
• 2:05
  was
• 2:05
  like
• 2:05
  when
• 2:05
  he
• 2:05
  was
• 2:06
  really
• 2:06
  George.
• 2:07
  You
• 2:07
  know,
• 2:07
  they
• 2:08
  were,
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  were,
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  weren't
• 2:09
  old
• 2:09
  enough
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  remember
• 2:10
  that
• 2:10
  a
• 2:11
  lot
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  their
• 2:12
  old,
• 2:13
  their
• 2:13
  older
• 2:13
  brothers
• 2:13
  and
• 2:14
  their
• 2:14
  fathers,
• 2:14
  they
• 2:14
  don't
• 2:14
  remember
• 2:15
  it
• 2:15
  either
• 2:15
  because
• 2:15
  they
• 2:15
  choose
• 2:16
  not
• 2:16
  to
• 2:17
  because
• 2:17
  what
• 2:17
  they
• 2:18
  remember
• 2:18
  is,
• 2:18
  is
• 2:18
  the
• 2:19
  George
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  would
• 2:19
  walk
• 2:19
  in
• 2:19
  the
• 2:19
  Yankee
• 2:20
  Stadium
• 2:20
  as
• 2:20
  an
• 2:20
  older
• 2:21
  man
• 2:21
  and
• 2:22
  be
• 2:22
  celebrated
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  cheered.
• 2:24
  And
• 2:24
  of
• 2:24
  course,
• 2:24
  10
• 2:25
  years
• 2:25
  later,
• 2:25
  he'd
• 2:25
  walk
• 2:26
  into
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  stadium,
• 2:27
  be
• 2:27
  a
• 2:27
  lot
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  loud
• 2:28
  noises
• 2:28
  too,
• 2:29
  for
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  different
• 2:30
  reason.
• 2:31
  And
• 2:31
  this
• 2:32
  one
• 2:32
  kind
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  just.
• 2:33
  There's
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  lot
• 2:33
  of
• 2:33
  stories
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  tell
• 2:34
  about
• 2:34
  that,
• 2:35
  about
• 2:35
  him.
• 2:37
  A
• 2:37
  very
• 2:37
  interesting
• 2:38
  life.
• 2:38
  No
• 2:38
  doubt
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  lot
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  different
• 2:39
  facets
• 2:39
  to
• 2:40
  that
• 2:40
  life
• 2:40
  and
• 2:41
  certainly
• 2:41
  where
• 2:41
  they're
• 2:42
  being
• 2:43
  preserved
• 2:43
  between
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  pages
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  the
• 2:45
  covers
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  book.
• 2:46
  Mike,
• 2:47
  if
• 2:47
  people
• 2:47
  are
• 2:47
  reading
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  book,
• 2:48
  you
• 2:49
  know,
• 2:49
  they're
• 2:49
  looking
• 2:49
  at
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  George
• 2:51
  days
• 2:51
  versus
• 2:51
  now,
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  Hal
• 2:52
  days.
• 2:52
  Can
• 2:53
  you
• 2:53
  talk
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  little
• 2:53
  bit
• 2:53
  about
• 2:53
  the
• 2:54
  difference
• 2:54
  between
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  two?
• 2:57
  Well,
• 2:58
  they're
• 2:58
  night
• 2:59
  and
• 2:59
  day.
• 3:00
  You
• 3:00
  know,
• 3:01
  George
• 3:01
  was
• 3:01
  over
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  top.
• 3:02
  He
• 3:02
  was
• 3:02
  impatient,
• 3:03
  he
• 3:03
  was
• 3:03
  flamboyant,
• 3:05
  whatever
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  opposite
• 3:06
  words
• 3:06
  for
• 3:07
  all
• 3:07
  of
• 3:07
  those
• 3:07
  descriptions
• 3:08
  are.
• 3:08
  That's
• 3:08
  Hal.
• 3:09
  He's
• 3:10
  very
• 3:10
  patient,
• 3:10
  he's
• 3:11
  very
• 3:11
  careful.
• 3:12
  You're
• 3:12
  not
• 3:13
  going
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  see
• 3:13
  him
• 3:14
  on
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  back
• 3:14
  page
• 3:14
  a
• 3:15
  lot,
• 3:15
  certainly
• 3:15
  not
• 3:15
  by
• 3:16
  his
• 3:16
  own
• 3:16
  choice.
• 3:17
  And
• 3:18
  that's
• 3:18
  really
• 3:19
  where
• 3:19
  Hal
• 3:20
  is
• 3:20
  now.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:20
  I
• 3:20
  think
• 3:20
  sometimes
• 3:21
  that's
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  frustration
• 3:21
  of
• 3:22
  Yankees
• 3:22
  fans.
• 3:23
  But
• 3:23
  Honestly,
• 3:25
  George
• 3:25
  went
• 3:25
  18
• 3:26
  years,
• 3:26
  one
• 3:26
  time
• 3:26
  without
• 3:26
  winning
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  World
• 3:27
  Series
• 3:27
  because
• 3:28
  he
• 3:28
  was
• 3:28
  too
• 3:28
  impetuous,
• 3:29
  he
• 3:29
  was
• 3:29
  too
• 3:30
  impatient,
• 3:30
  he
• 3:30
  was
• 3:30
  always
• 3:31
  firing
• 3:31
  managers,
• 3:32
  he
• 3:32
  was
• 3:33
  always
• 3:33
  getting
• 3:33
  rid
• 3:33
  of
• 3:33
  players.
• 3:34
  And
• 3:36
  Hal
• 3:36
  is
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  exact
• 3:36
  opposite.
• 3:37
  People
• 3:37
  are
• 3:37
  frustrated
• 3:38
  because
• 3:38
  they
• 3:38
  haven't
• 3:38
  won
• 3:39
  a
• 3:39
  champion
• 3:40
  since
• 3:40
  2009.
• 3:41
  But
• 3:42
  the
• 3:43
  Yankees
• 3:43
  are
• 3:43
  there
• 3:43
  every
• 3:44
  year
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45

• 5:13
  Mike,
• 5:15
  you

  like
• 5:18
  that

  fan
• 5:19
  side
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  him
• 5:19
  that

  maybe

  overruled

  some

• 5:23
  Was

  bit

  over

  the

  a

  lot
• 5:35
  of

  them.
• 5:35
  You

  know,
• 5:36
  one

  know,
• 5:38
  you
• 5:39
  cover
• 5:39
  certain
• 5:39
  teams
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  think,
• 5:40
  oh,
• 5:40
  my
• 5:40
  God,
• 5:41
  that's
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  biggest
• 5:42
  meltdown
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  team
• 5:42
  history.
• 5:43
  And,
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  know,
• 5:44
  around
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  Yankees
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  the
• 5:46
  Sanbridger
• 5:46
  years,
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  considered
• 5:48
  Tuesday
• 5:49
  as
• 5:50
  usual.
• 5:52
  But
• 5:52
  you're
• 5:52
  right,
• 5:53
  there
• 5:53
  was
• 5:53
  definitely
• 5:53
  a
• 5:54
  duality
• 5:54
  to
• 5:55
  George.
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  mean,
• 5:56
  there
• 5:56
  was
• 5:56
  the
• 5:57
  George
• 5:57
  timebritter
• 5:57
  who
• 5:58
  was
• 5:58
  ahead
• 5:58
  of
• 5:58
  his
• 5:58
  time
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  terms
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  building
• 6:00
  infrastructure,
• 6:02
  in
• 6:02
  terms
• 6:02
  of
• 6:03
  running
• 6:03
  for
• 6:03
  money
• 6:04
  behind
• 6:04
  his

  investing

  in

  scouts,
• 6:07
  the

  very
• 6:07
  best
• 6:07
  scouts,
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  that

  was
• 6:09
  important.
• 6:09
  But
• 6:10
  he
• 6:10
  kind
• 6:10
  of
• 6:10
  shared
• 6:11
  the
• 6:12
  ownership
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  George
• 6:12
  Stambron,
• 6:13
  who.
• 6:14
  Ever
• 6:14
  impetuous,
• 6:15
  ever
• 6:15
  impatient,
• 6:16
  never

  willing
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  do
• 6:17
  just,

  you

  You

  thing.
• 6:22
  You

  the

  cautery
• 6:24
  of

  players
• 6:25
  that

  he

  traded
• 6:25
  in
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  80s.
• 6:26
  It's
• 6:26
  a
• 6:27
  crazy
• 6:27
  thing.
• 6:27
  And
• 6:28
  that's,
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  know,
• 6:29
  that
• 6:29
  version

  always

  better

  versions.
• 6:36
  Was

  ever

  a

  question

  George

  different
• 6:49
  direction,
• 6:49
  or
• 6:49
  was
• 6:49
  it
• 6:49
  always
• 6:49
  understood

  that

  it

  was
• 6:50
  going
• 6:50
  to
• 6:51
  stay
• 6:51
  within
• 6:51
  this
• 6:51
  time
• 6:51
  of
• 6:52
  their
• 6:52
  family?
• 6:53
  Well,
• 6:53
  he
• 6:53
  was
• 6:54
  always
• 6:54
  going
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  keep
• 6:54
  him
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  same,
• 6:55
  you
• 6:55
  know,
• 6:55
  over
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  course
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  time,
• 6:56
  because
• 6:57
  certainly
• 6:58
  Hal,
• 6:58
  who
• 6:58
  he.
• 6:59
  Well,
• 6:59
  George
• 7:00
  really
• 7:00
  kind
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  figured
• 7:01
  from
• 7:01
  an
• 7:01
  early
• 7:01
  age
• 7:02
  was
• 7:02
  going
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  be
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  guy
• 7:02
  that
• 7:03
  would
• 7:03
  take
• 7:03
  over.
• 7:04
  You
• 7:04
  know,
• 7:04
  he
• 7:04
  wasn't.
• 7:04
  He
• 7:04
  wasn't
• 7:05
  old
• 7:05
  enough,
• 7:05
  experienced
• 7:06
  enough.
• 7:06
  So
• 7:07
  over
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  course
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  time,
• 7:08
  he
• 7:08
  had
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  couple
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  son
• 7:09
  in
• 7:09
  laws,
• 7:09
  Steve
• 7:10
  Schindall
• 7:10
  and
• 7:11
  Joe
• 7:11
  Malloy.
• 7:13
  Of
• 7:13
  course,
• 7:13
  they
• 7:13
  made
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  career
• 7:15
  suicide
• 7:16
  decision
• 7:16
  of
• 7:16
  divorcing
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  Simon
• 7:17
  sisters.
• 7:19
  So
• 7:19
  they
• 7:19
  were
• 7:19
  out
• 7:19
  of
• 7:19
  the
• 7:20
  picture
• 7:21
  after
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  while.
• 7:21
  But
• 7:22
  it
• 7:22
  was
• 7:22
  always
• 7:22
  going
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  be
• 7:22
  how
• 7:23
  even
• 7:24
  Hank.
• 7:24
  Look,
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  mean,
• 7:24
  Hank
• 7:25
  was
• 7:25
  very
• 7:25
  much
• 7:25
  like
• 7:26
  his
• 7:26
  father.
• 7:27
  But,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  Hank
• 7:28
  was
• 7:28
  very
• 7:28
  reluctant
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  take
• 7:29
  over
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  team
• 7:29
  when
• 7:29
  George
• 7:29
  was
• 7:30
  suspended
• 7:30
  in
• 7:30
  1990.
• 7:31
  It
• 7:31
  just
• 7:32
  wasn't
• 7:32
  for
• 7:32
  him.
• 7:32
  You
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:34
  he
• 7:34
  spent
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  lot
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  time
• 7:35
  enjoying
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  perks
• 7:37
  of
• 7:37
  being
• 7:37
  the
• 7:38
  guy
• 7:38
  people
• 7:38
  Called
• 7:39
  because
• 7:39
  he
• 7:39
  was
• 7:40
  always
• 7:40
  fast
• 7:41
  in
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  quote,
• 7:41
  always
• 7:41
  faster
• 7:42
  than
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  community.
• 7:43
  But
• 7:43
  even
• 7:43
  he
• 7:44
  retired
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  that
• 7:45
  fairly
• 7:45
  quickly.
• 7:46
  Hal
• 7:47
  was
• 7:47
  always
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  guy.
• 7:47
  Hal
• 7:48
  was
• 7:48
  always
• 7:48
  going
• 7:48
  to
• 7:48
  be
• 7:48
  the
• 7:49
  guy.
• 7:49
  And,
• 7:50
  you
• 7:51
  know,
• 7:51
  George
• 7:51
  saw
• 7:51
  that
• 7:51
  from
• 7:52
  an
• 7:52
  early
• 7:52
  age
• 7:52
  in
• 7:52
  Hal.
• 7:52
  He
• 7:53
  realized
• 7:53
  that
• 7:53
  this
• 7:53
  is
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  guy
• 7:54
  who's
• 7:54
  very
• 7:54
  different
• 7:55
  from
• 7:55
  him
• 7:55
  in
• 7:56
  personality
• 7:56
  and
• 7:57
  approach,
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  he
• 7:58
  always
• 7:58
  thought
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  was
• 7:59
  probably
• 7:59
  for
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  best.
• 8:01
  Mike,
• 8:01
  from
• 8:02
  idea
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  final
• 8:04
  writing
• 8:05
  of
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  book,
• 8:05
  how
• 8:05
  long
• 8:06
  did
• 8:06
  it
• 8:06
  take
• 8:06
  you
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  write
• 8:06
  this
• 8:07
  book?
• 8:08
  Just
• 8:08
  about
• 8:08
  two
• 8:09
  years.
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  mean,
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  research
• 8:12
  took
• 8:12
  about
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  full
• 8:12
  year,
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  writing
• 8:13
  took
• 8:13
  a
• 8:14
  little,
• 8:14
  you
• 8:14
  know,
• 8:14
  include
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  in
• 8:15
  there.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:16
  then
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  rewriting
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  editing
• 8:17
  and
• 8:18
  the,
• 8:18
  you
• 8:18
  know,
• 8:18
  trimming
• 8:19
  it
• 8:19
  from,
• 8:20
  you
• 8:20
  know,
• 8:20
  into,
• 8:20
  into
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  manageable
• 8:22
  length
• 8:23
  take
• 8:23
  about
• 8:23
  another
• 8:23
  six
• 8:23
  months.
• 8:24
  So
• 8:24
  it
• 8:24
  was
• 8:25
  about
• 8:25
  two
• 8:25
  years
• 8:25
  from,
• 8:26
  from
• 8:26
  start
• 8:26
  to
• 8:27
  finish.
• 8:29
  In
• 8:29
  those
• 8:29
  two
• 8:30
  years.
• 8:31
  Mike,
• 8:31
  you
• 8:32
  know,
• 8:32
  obviously,
• 8:32
  I'm
• 8:32
  sure
• 8:33
  you,
• 8:33
  you
• 8:33
  interviewed
• 8:34
  so
• 8:34
  many
• 8:34
  people
• 8:34
  about
• 8:34
  this
• 8:35
  book.
• 8:35
  Was,
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  there
• 8:36
  any
• 8:37
  former
• 8:37
  player
• 8:38
  of
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  Yankees
• 8:38
  or
• 8:39
  former
• 8:39
  executive
• 8:39
  coach,
• 8:41
  what
• 8:41
  have
• 8:41
  you,
• 8:41
  that.
• 8:41
  That
• 8:42
  kind
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  surprised
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  with,
• 8:43
  with
• 8:44
  what
• 8:44
  they
• 8:44
  talked
• 8:45
  about
• 8:45
  in
• 8:45
  terms
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  Steinbrenner
• 8:47
  family,
• 8:47
  or
• 8:47
  was
• 8:47
  it
• 8:47
  pretty
• 8:47
  much
• 8:48
  down
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  line
• 8:48
  that
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  expected?
• 8:52
  The
• 8:52
  way
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  decided
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  do
• 8:53
  this
• 8:53
  was
• 8:54
  I
• 8:54
  was
• 8:54
  able
• 8:54
  to
• 8:55
  do
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  lot
• 8:55
  of
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  primary
• 8:55
  reporting
• 8:56
  of
• 8:56
  my
• 8:56
  own
• 8:56
  just
• 8:56
  because
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  my
• 8:57
  day
• 8:57
  job.
• 8:57
  Right.
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  covered
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  Yankees
• 8:59
  almost
• 9:00
  30
• 9:00
  years
• 9:00
  now.
• 9:01
  And
• 9:02
  so
• 9:02
  I
• 9:02
  said,
• 9:02
  so
• 9:03
  I
• 9:03
  had
• 9:03
  those
• 9:03
  relationships.
• 9:04
  I
• 9:04
  had
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  relationship
• 9:04
  with
• 9:04
  George
• 9:05
  himself.
• 9:05
  I've
• 9:06
  had
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  relationship
• 9:06
  with
• 9:07
  Hal
• 9:07
  for
• 9:07
  many
• 9:07
  years.
• 9:08
  But
• 9:09
  look,
• 9:09
  when
• 9:09
  you
• 9:09
  want
• 9:09
  to
• 9:09
  go
• 9:09
  back
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  older,
• 9:10
  older
• 9:11
  stories,
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  know,
• 9:11
  which
• 9:12
  is
• 9:12
  before
• 9:12
  my
• 9:12
  time
• 9:13
  when
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  kid,
• 9:14
  I
• 9:15
  obviously
• 9:15
  wasn't
• 9:15
  around
• 9:15
  for
• 9:16
  those.
• 9:16
  But,
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  know,
• 9:17
  through
• 9:17
  research
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  through,
• 9:18
  you
• 9:19
  know,
• 9:19
  a
• 9:19
  lot
• 9:19
  of
• 9:19
  just
• 9:20
  the
• 9:21
  legwork
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  reporting,
• 9:22
  you're
• 9:22
  able
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  kind
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  unearth
• 9:23
  sort
• 9:23
  of
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  stories
• 9:24
  behind
• 9:24
  a
• 9:24
  lot
• 9:25
  of
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  stories
• 9:25
  people
• 9:25
  have
• 9:25
  heard
• 9:26
  about.
• 9:27
  But
• 9:27
  when
• 9:27
  I
• 9:28
  would
• 9:28
  talk
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  some
• 9:28
  of
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  principals,
• 9:30
  like
• 9:30
  I,
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  told
• 9:31
  us
• 9:32
  from
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  beginning,
• 9:33
  you
• 9:33
  know,
• 9:33
  I'm
• 9:33
  just
• 9:33
  going
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  give
• 9:34
  you,
• 9:34
  I'm
• 9:34
  going
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  talk
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  on
• 9:35
  background.
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  don't
• 9:35
  necessarily
• 9:36
  need
• 9:36
  fresh
• 9:37
  quotes
• 9:37
  for
• 9:37
  you
• 9:37
  about
• 9:38
  things
• 9:38
  that
• 9:38
  happened
• 9:38
  35
• 9:39
  years
• 9:39
  ago
• 9:39
  economically.
• 9:40
  But,
• 9:40
  you
• 9:41
  know,
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  way
• 9:42
  I've
• 9:42
  described
• 9:43
  it
• 9:43
  is
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  most
• 9:43
  people,
• 9:44
  their
• 9:44
  memory
• 9:44
  isn't
• 9:44
  as
• 9:45
  good
• 9:45
  now
• 9:45
  as
• 9:45
  it
• 9:45
  was
• 9:45
  35
• 9:46
  years
• 9:46
  ago.
• 9:46
  It
• 9:46
  just
• 9:47
  wasn't.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:48
  so,
• 9:48
  you
• 9:48
  know,
• 9:49
  for
• 9:50
  a
• 9:50
  lot
• 9:50
  of
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  guys,
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  just
• 9:50
  said,
• 9:51
  look,
• 9:51
  just,
• 9:51
  just,
• 9:52
  just
• 9:52
  keep
• 9:52
  me
• 9:52
  in
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  right
• 9:53
  direction.
• 9:53
  If,
• 9:53
  if
• 9:54
  I'm
• 9:54
  wandering
• 9:54
  off
• 9:55
  scripture
• 9:55
  because
• 9:55
  something
• 9:55
  you
• 9:56
  say
• 9:56
  you
• 9:57
  could
• 9:57
  fundamentally
• 9:57
  say
• 9:57
  did
• 9:58
  not
• 9:58
  happen,
• 9:58
  it's
• 9:58
  a
• 9:59
  way
• 9:59
  that
• 9:59
  I
• 9:59
  wrote
• 9:59
  it,
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  I
• 10:00
  Didn't
• 10:00
  get
• 10:00
  any
• 10:00
  of
• 10:01
  that.
• 10:01
  And
• 10:01
  that's,
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  know,
• 10:02
  that
• 10:02
  was
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  important
• 10:03
  thing
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  me
• 10:03
  was
• 10:04
  telling
• 10:04
  these
• 10:04
  stories
• 10:04
  and
• 10:05
  telling
• 10:05
  them
• 10:05
  right.
• 10:05
  And
• 10:06
  you
• 10:07
  know,
• 10:07
  allowing
• 10:07
  these
• 10:07
  guys
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  talk
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  me
• 10:08
  on
• 10:08
  background,
• 10:09
  I
• 10:09
  think
• 10:10
  really,
• 10:10
  you
• 10:10
  know,
• 10:11
  allowed
• 10:11
  them
• 10:11
  to
• 10:12
  make
• 10:12
  sure
• 10:12
  the
• 10:12
  story
• 10:13
  was
• 10:13
  told
• 10:13
  properly
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  without
• 10:14
  too
• 10:15
  many
• 10:15
  errors.
• 10:15
  I
• 10:16
  don't
• 10:16
  think
• 10:16
  there
• 10:16
  are
• 10:16
  any,
• 10:17
  but
• 10:18
  I'm
• 10:18
  pretty
• 10:18
  comfortable
• 10:18
  with
• 10:18
  everything
• 10:19
  that's
• 10:19
  in
• 10:19
  that
• 10:19
  book.
• 10:20
  But
• 10:20
  I
• 10:20
  think,
• 10:20
  Mike,
• 10:21
  it
• 10:21
  also
• 10:21
  shows
• 10:21
  the
• 10:22
  respect
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  the
• 10:22
  players,
• 10:23
  both
• 10:23
  former
• 10:24
  and
• 10:24
  present,
• 10:25
  have
• 10:25
  for
• 10:25
  you
• 10:26
  being
• 10:26
  a
• 10:27
  part
• 10:27
  of
• 10:27
  this
• 10:27
  organization.
• 10:28
  They
• 10:28
  gave
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  everything
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  needed.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:32
  also
• 10:33
  the
• 10:33
  respect
• 10:33
  they
• 10:33
  have
• 10:33
  for
• 10:33
  George.
• 10:34
  Look,
• 10:34
  George
• 10:34
  is
• 10:34
  a
• 10:34
  very
• 10:34
  loyal
• 10:35
  guy.
• 10:35
  A
• 10:36
  lot
• 10:36
  of
• 10:36
  these
• 10:36
  guys,
• 10:36
  after
• 10:37
  they
• 10:37
  were
• 10:37
  done
• 10:39
  work
• 10:39
  for
• 10:39
  George,
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  know,
• 10:40
  whether
• 10:40
  spring
• 10:40
  training
• 10:41
  instructors
• 10:41
  or,
• 10:42
  you
• 10:42
  know,
• 10:42
  secondary
• 10:43
  tertiary
• 10:43
  rules
• 10:44
  in
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  organization.
• 10:45
  And
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  know,
• 10:47
  George
• 10:48
  was
• 10:48
  good
• 10:48
  to
• 10:48
  a
• 10:48
  lot
• 10:49
  of
• 10:49
  these
• 10:49
  guys.
• 10:50
  Not
• 10:50
  all
• 10:50
  of
• 10:50
  them.
• 10:51
  There's
• 10:51
  some
• 10:51
  of
• 10:51
  these
• 10:51
  guys,
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  know,
• 10:52
  a
• 10:53
  lot
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  guys
• 10:53
  that
• 10:53
  he
• 10:54
  wound
• 10:54
  up
• 10:54
  warring
• 10:55
  with
• 10:55
  on
• 10:55
  the
• 10:55
  back
• 10:55
  page,
• 10:56
  you
• 10:56
  know,
• 10:57
  he
• 10:57
  wound
• 10:57
  up
• 10:57
  being
• 10:58
  their
• 10:58
  employer
• 10:59
  later
• 10:59
  on
• 11:00
  because
• 11:00
  he
• 11:00
  really
• 11:00
  wanted
• 11:01
  to
• 11:01
  take
• 11:01
  care
• 11:01
  of
• 11:01
  them.
• 11:02
  Do
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  think
• 11:03
  that
• 11:03
  people
• 11:03
  remember
• 11:04
  George
• 11:04
  more
• 11:04
  for
• 11:05
  ripping
• 11:05
  people
• 11:05
  and
• 11:06
  the
• 11:07
  behind
• 11:07
  the
• 11:07
  scenes
• 11:08
  crazy
• 11:08
  stuff
• 11:09
  or
• 11:09
  for
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  way
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  they
• 11:11
  could
• 11:11
  just
• 11:11
  walk
• 11:11
  into
• 11:11
  his
• 11:12
  office
• 11:12
  and
• 11:12
  have
• 11:12
  a
• 11:12
  conversation
• 11:13
  about
• 11:13
  what
• 11:13
  they
• 11:14
  need?
• 11:16
  I
• 11:16
  don't
• 11:16
  think
• 11:16
  they
• 11:16
  remember
• 11:16
  the
• 11:17
  crazy
• 11:17
  stuff
• 11:17
  all
• 11:17
  that
• 11:17
  much,
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  be
• 11:18
  honest
• 11:18
  with
• 11:18
  you.
• 11:18
  It's
• 11:18
  part
• 11:19
  of
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  reason
• 11:19
  why
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  wrote
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  book.
• 11:20
  You
• 11:20
  know,
• 11:20
  I
• 11:20
  think
• 11:21
  a
• 11:21
  lot
• 11:21
  of
• 11:21
  people
• 11:21
  forgot
• 11:22
  just
• 11:23
  how
• 11:23
  over
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  top
• 11:23
  he
• 11:24
  was
• 11:24
  for
• 11:24
  a
• 11:24
  lot
• 11:24
  of
• 11:24
  his
• 11:25
  tenure.
• 11:26
  I
• 11:26
  think
• 11:26
  they
• 11:26
  tend
• 11:27
  to
• 11:27
  remember
• 11:27
  the
• 11:28
  latter
• 11:29
  day
• 11:29
  Georgia.
• 11:29
  Why
• 11:29
  wouldn't
• 11:30
  you?
• 11:30
  Because
• 11:31
  that's
• 11:31
  when
• 11:31
  the
• 11:31
  Yankees
• 11:32
  started
• 11:32
  to
• 11:32
  win
• 11:32
  again.
• 11:32
  That's
• 11:33
  what
• 11:33
  people
• 11:33
  want
• 11:33
  to,
• 11:34
  want
• 11:34
  to
• 11:34
  embrace.
• 11:34
  And
• 11:34
  that's
• 11:35
  why
• 11:35
  you
• 11:35
  hear
• 11:35
  all
• 11:35
  the
• 11:35
  time
• 11:35
  now
• 11:36
  when
• 11:36
  the
• 11:36
  Yankees
• 11:36
  go
• 11:36
  on
• 11:36
  a
• 11:36
  five
• 11:37
  game
• 11:37
  losing
• 11:37
  streak,
• 11:38
  you
• 11:38
  know,
• 11:38
  what
• 11:38
  would
• 11:38
  George
• 11:39
  do
• 11:39
  if
• 11:39
  he's
• 11:39
  still
• 11:39
  alive?
• 11:40
  You
• 11:40
  know,
• 11:41
  maybe
• 11:41
  he
• 11:41
  fire
• 11:42
  everybody,
• 11:42
  maybe
• 11:42
  trade
• 11:43
  everybody.
• 11:43
  But
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  don't
• 11:44
  necessarily
• 11:44
  think
• 11:44
  that'll
• 11:44
  be
• 11:45
  the,
• 11:45
  the
• 11:46
  best
• 11:46
  path
• 11:46
  because
• 11:47
  there's,
• 11:47
  there's
• 11:48
  this,
• 11:49
  there's
• 11:49
  this
• 11:49
  mythology
• 11:50
  built
• 11:50
  around
• 11:50
  him
• 11:50
  that
• 11:51
  if
• 11:51
  he
• 11:51
  would
• 11:52
  snap
• 11:52
  his
• 11:52
  fingers,
• 11:52
  fire
• 11:53
  some
• 11:53
  people
• 11:53
  and
• 11:53
  trade
• 11:53
  some
• 11:53
  people
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  they
• 11:54
  win
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  World
• 11:54
  Series.
• 11:55
  Well,
• 11:56
  that
• 11:56
  never
• 11:56
  happened.
• 11:57
  It
• 11:57
  never
• 11:57
  happened.
• 11:58
  And
• 11:58
  in
• 11:58
  fact
• 11:58
  the
• 11:59
  Yankees
• 11:59
  can
• 11:59
  become
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  Yankees
• 12:00
  again
• 12:00
  until
• 12:00
  after
• 12:00
  he
• 12:00
  was
• 12:01
  suspended.
• 12:02
  Michael
• 12:02
  was
• 12:03
  able
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  organization
• 12:05
  without
• 12:05
  interference
• 12:06
  from
• 12:06
  an
• 12:06
  impetuous
• 12:07
  owner.
• 12:08
  And
• 12:08
  that's
• 12:09
  part
• 12:09
  of
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  record.
• 12:10
  And
• 12:10
  look,
• 12:10
  the
• 12:10
  first
• 12:10
  time
• 12:10
  they
• 12:11
  built
• 12:11
  a
• 12:11
  champion
• 12:11
  in
• 12:11
  the
• 12:11
  70s
• 12:12
  was
• 12:12
  the
• 12:12
  same
• 12:12
  thing.
• 12:12
  Georgia
• 12:13
  suspended.
• 12:14
  And
• 12:14
  Kate
• 12:14
  Paul
• 12:14
  was
• 12:15
  getting
• 12:15
  free
• 12:15
  reign
• 12:15
  to
• 12:16
  build
• 12:16
  those
• 12:16
  Yankees
• 12:17
  too.
• 12:17
  I'm
• 12:17
  not
• 12:18
  taking
• 12:18
  any
• 12:18
  great
• 12:18
  George,
• 12:18
  who
• 12:19
  was
• 12:19
  always
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  big
• 12:19
  boss,
• 12:20
  who
• 12:20
  was
• 12:20
  always
• 12:21
  signing
• 12:21
  the
• 12:21
  checks.
• 12:22
  But
• 12:23
  the
• 12:23
  record
• 12:24
  shows
• 12:24
  that
• 12:25
  the
• 12:25
  Yankees
• 12:25
  were
• 12:26
  held
• 12:26
  on
• 12:26
  when
• 12:26
  he
• 12:26
  wasn't
• 12:27
  a
• 12:27
  daily
• 12:27
  part
• 12:27
  of
• 12:27
  the
• 12:28
  operation.
• 12:29
  Once
• 12:30
  again
• 12:30
  we're
• 12:30
  speaking
• 12:30
  with
• 12:31
  Mike
• 12:31
  Vocaro,
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  author
• 12:32
  of
• 12:33
  Bosses
• 12:33
  of
• 12:33
  the
• 12:33
  Bronx,
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  endless
• 12:34
  drama
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  Yankees
• 12:35
  under
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  House
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  Steinbrenner.
• 12:38
  And
• 12:38
  Mike,
• 12:40
  as
• 12:41
  you
• 12:41
  were
• 12:41
  speaking
• 12:41
  before,
• 12:42
  and
• 12:42
  saying
• 12:42
  about
• 12:42
  how
• 12:43
  loyalty
• 12:43
  was
• 12:43
  so
• 12:44
  big
• 12:44
  with
• 12:44
  George
• 12:44
  and
• 12:45
  within
• 12:45
  the
• 12:45
  family
• 12:45
  and
• 12:46
  how
• 12:46
  so
• 12:46
  many
• 12:47
  former
• 12:47
  players
• 12:48
  and
• 12:49
  people
• 12:49
  just
• 12:50
  wound
• 12:50
  up
• 12:50
  being
• 12:50
  employed
• 12:51
  by
• 12:52
  George
• 12:52
  and
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  team
• 12:53
  itself.
• 12:56
  Correct
• 12:57
  me
• 12:57
  if
• 12:57
  I'm
• 12:57
  wrong,
• 12:57
  you
• 12:57
  wrote
• 12:58
  this
• 12:58
  book
• 12:58
  in
• 12:58
  a
• 12:58
  style
• 12:59
  of
• 12:59
  telling
• 13:00
  lots
• 13:00
  of
• 13:01
  stories
• 13:01
  that
• 13:02
  any
• 13:02
  baseball
• 13:02
  fan
• 13:03
  or
• 13:03
  any
• 13:03
  sports
• 13:03
  fan
• 13:04
  could
• 13:04
  really
• 13:05
  understand
• 13:05
  and
• 13:05
  follow
• 13:06
  as
• 13:06
  opposed
• 13:06
  to
• 13:06
  just
• 13:07
  someone
• 13:07
  who
• 13:07
  is
• 13:08
  a
• 13:08
  diehead
• 13:09
  Yankee
• 13:09
  fan.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:10
  want
• 13:10
  to
• 13:10
  be
• 13:10
  part
• 13:10
  of
• 13:11
  it.
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  think
• 13:13
  that
• 13:14
  Yankees
• 13:14
  fans
• 13:14
  look
• 13:15
  at
• 13:15
  George,
• 13:15
  they
• 13:16
  look
• 13:16
  at
• 13:16
  him
• 13:16
  as
• 13:16
  a
• 13:16
  guy
• 13:17
  who
• 13:17
  cared
• 13:18
  so
• 13:18
  much
• 13:18
  about
• 13:18
  winning
• 13:18
  that
• 13:18
  he
• 13:19
  was
• 13:19
  willing
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  do
• 13:19
  anything.
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  think
• 13:20
  when
• 13:21
  they
• 13:21
  look
• 13:21
  at
• 13:21
  hell,
• 13:21
  sometimes
• 13:22
  they
• 13:22
  look
• 13:22
  at
• 13:22
  his
• 13:22
  lacking
• 13:23
  those
• 13:24
  essential
• 13:24
  elements.
• 13:25
  But
• 13:25
  you
• 13:25
  know,
• 13:25
  I
• 13:26
  mean,
• 13:26
  look,
• 13:26
  I
• 13:26
  mean,
• 13:26
  George
• 13:27
  was
• 13:27
  a
• 13:27
  colorful
• 13:27
  guy.
• 13:28
  He
• 13:28
  was
• 13:28
  an
• 13:28
  over
• 13:28
  the
• 13:28
  top
• 13:29
  interesting
• 13:29
  guy.
• 13:31
  Hal
• 13:31
  isn't
• 13:32
  quite
• 13:32
  so
• 13:32
  interesting.
• 13:32
  I
• 13:32
  mean,
• 13:33
  you
• 13:33
  know,
• 13:33
  if
• 13:33
  you're
• 13:33
  going
• 13:33
  to
• 13:33
  write
• 13:33
  a
• 13:34
  book
• 13:34
  about
• 13:34
  how
• 13:34
  it's
• 13:34
  probably
• 13:34
  going
• 13:35
  to,
• 13:35
  going
• 13:35
  to
• 13:35
  be
• 13:36
  what
• 13:36
  this
• 13:36
  book
• 13:36
  is,
• 13:36
  which
• 13:37
  is
• 13:37
  about
• 13:37
  40
• 13:37
  pages
• 13:38
  worth
• 13:38
  of
• 13:38
  a
• 13:38
  340
• 13:39
  page
• 13:39
  book.
• 13:40
  Yeah,
• 13:40
  but
• 13:42
  you
• 13:42
  know,
• 13:42
  look,
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  mean
• 13:42
  I,
• 13:43
  I
• 13:43
  think
• 13:43
  the
• 13:43
  fact
• 13:43
  of
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  matter
• 13:44
  is
• 13:44
  that,
• 13:45
  you
• 13:45
  know,
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  Yankees
• 13:45
  became
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  Yankees
• 13:46
  again
• 13:46
  because
• 13:47
  of
• 13:47
  George.
• 13:47
  I
• 13:47
  mean
• 13:48
  because
• 13:48
  of
• 13:48
  his
• 13:48
  belief
• 13:49
  the
• 13:49
  Yankees
• 13:50
  could
• 13:50
  rise
• 13:50
  for
• 13:51
  me
• 13:51
  ashes
• 13:51
  in
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  early
• 13:52
  70s
• 13:52
  and
• 13:53
  they
• 13:53
  did.
• 13:54
  And
• 13:54
  for
• 13:54
  the
• 13:54
  rest
• 13:54
  of
• 13:55
  his
• 13:55
  time
• 13:55
  as
• 13:55
  a
• 13:55
  Yankee
• 13:56
  boner,
• 13:56
  you
• 13:56
  know,
• 13:57
  they
• 13:57
  matter.
• 13:57
  They
• 13:57
  were
• 13:57
  important.
• 13:58
  They
• 13:58
  didn't
• 13:58
  always
• 13:58
  win,
• 13:59
  you
• 13:59
  know,
• 13:59
  they
• 14:00
  didn't
• 14:00
  win
• 14:00
  champions
• 14:00
  every
• 14:01
  year,
• 14:01
  but
• 14:01
  they
• 14:02
  were
• 14:02
  always
• 14:02
  a
• 14:02
  thing
• 14:02
  people
• 14:02
  cared
• 14:03
  about,
• 14:03
  wanted
• 14:03
  to
• 14:03
  talk
• 14:03
  about
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  they
• 14:05
  were
• 14:05
  always
• 14:05
  fodder
• 14:06
  for
• 14:06
  the
• 14:06
  back
• 14:06
  pages
• 14:06
  of
• 14:06
  the
• 14:06
  newspapers.
• 14:09
  Mike,
• 14:09
  who
• 14:10
  was
• 14:10
  the
• 14:10
  best
• 14:10
  interview
• 14:11
  that
• 14:11
  you
• 14:11
  had
• 14:11
  for
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  book
• 14:12
  that
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  got
• 14:12
  something
• 14:12
  out
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  that
• 14:13
  maybe
• 14:13
  didn't
• 14:14
  expect?
• 14:14
  Again,
• 14:17
  I
• 14:17
  talked
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  House
• 14:19
  a
• 14:19
  long
• 14:19
  time.
• 14:19
  Look,
• 14:21
  he's
• 14:21
  very,
• 14:23
  he's
• 14:23
  very
• 14:23
  honest
• 14:25
  about
• 14:25
  his
• 14:25
  father,
• 14:26
  he
• 14:26
  feels
• 14:27
  like
• 14:27
  about
• 14:27
  his
• 14:27
  own,
• 14:28
  you
• 14:28
  know,
• 14:28
  background.
• 14:29
  And
• 14:30
  he
• 14:30
  was
• 14:30
  very
• 14:30
  honest
• 14:30
  about
• 14:31
  where
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  Yankees
• 14:31
  are,
• 14:32
  you
• 14:32
  know,
• 14:32
  who
• 14:32
  they
• 14:32
  want
• 14:32
  to
• 14:33
  be,
• 14:34
  and
• 14:35
  was
• 14:35
  very
• 14:35
  adamant
• 14:36
  about
• 14:36
  how
• 14:36
  much
• 14:37
  he
• 14:37
  cares
• 14:38
  about
• 14:38
  winning
• 14:38
  and
• 14:39
  as
• 14:39
  much
• 14:39
  as
• 14:39
  Foster
• 14:40
  does.
• 14:40
  I
• 14:40
  know
• 14:40
  it's
• 14:40
  not
• 14:40
  necessarily
• 14:41
  the
• 14:42
  way
• 14:42
  a
• 14:42
  lot
• 14:42
  of
• 14:42
  Yankees
• 14:42
  fans
• 14:43
  look
• 14:43
  at
• 14:43
  it,
• 14:43
  but
• 14:43
  it's
• 14:43
  absolutely
• 14:44
  the
• 14:44
  truth.
• 14:44
  I
• 14:44
  mean,
• 14:44
  he
• 14:44
  burned
• 14:45
  things
• 14:46
  every
• 14:46
  bit
• 14:46
  as
• 14:46
  much
• 14:46
  as
• 14:46
  his
• 14:46
  old
• 14:47
  man.
• 14:47
  Did.
• 14:48
  Seems
• 14:49
  like
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  books
• 14:50
  are
• 14:50
  doing
• 14:50
  well
• 14:50
  that
• 14:50
  you
• 14:50
  had
• 14:51
  another
• 14:51
  set
• 14:51
  that
• 14:51
  were
• 14:52
  printed,
• 14:52
  correct.
• 14:54
  Yeah,
• 14:54
  it's
• 14:54
  done
• 14:54
  pretty
• 14:55
  well.
• 14:55
  I
• 14:55
  mean,
• 14:55
  it's
• 14:55
  been
• 14:55
  received
• 14:56
  very
• 14:56
  well.
• 14:57
  Like
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  book.
• 14:57
  I
• 14:57
  mean,
• 14:58
  look,
• 14:58
  I
• 14:58
  had
• 14:58
  a
• 14:59
  lot
• 14:59
  of
• 14:59
  fun.
• 14:59
  People
• 15:00
  had
• 15:00
  a
• 15:00
  lot
• 15:00
  of
• 15:00
  fun
• 15:00
  reading
• 15:01
  it
• 15:01
  and
• 15:03
  it's
• 15:03
  done
• 15:03
  pretty
• 15:03
  well.
• 15:03
  I'm
• 15:04
  very
• 15:04
  pleased
• 15:04
  about
• 15:04
  that,
• 15:05
  very
• 15:05
  proud
• 15:05
  about
• 15:05
  that,

• 15:09
  a
• 15:09
  lot
• 15:09
  of
• 15:09
  good
• 15:09
  word
• 15:10
  of
• 15:10
  mouth,
• 15:10
  so
• 15:10
  I
• 15:10
  think
• 15:10
  people
• 15:10
  are
• 15:10
  passing
• 15:11
  the
• 15:11
  book
• 15:11
  around
• 15:11
  a
• 15:11
  little
• 15:12
  bit
• 15:12
  too.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:13
  it's
• 15:13
  been
• 15:13
  good.
• 15:15
  That's
• 15:15
  great
• 15:15
  to
• 15:15
  hear.
• 15:15
  Is,
• 15:16
  Mike,

  St.

• 15:17
  another
• 15:18
  passion
• 15:18
  of
• 15:18
  yours
• 15:19
  besides
• 15:19
  the
• 15:19
  Yankees?
• 15:22
  Yeah,
• 15:22
  I've
• 15:23
  been
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  St.
• 15:23
  John's
• 15:23
  fan
• 15:23
  since
• 15:24
  I
• 15:24
  was
• 15:24
  12
• 15:24
  years
• 15:24
  old,
• 15:24
  so,
• 15:25
  yeah,
• 15:26
  it's
• 15:27
  great
• 15:27
  to
• 15:27
  see
• 15:27
  them
• 15:27
  where
• 15:27
  they
• 15:28
  are.
• 15:28
  It's
• 15:28
  great
• 15:28
  to
• 15:28
  cover
• 15:29
  them
• 15:30
  relevant
• 15:30
  again.
• 15:30
  You
• 15:31
  know,
• 15:31
  St.
• 15:32
  John
• 15:32
  is
• 15:32
  a
• 15:32
  funny
• 15:32
  kind
• 15:33
  of
• 15:33
  team.
• 15:33
  You
• 15:33
  know,
• 15:34
  you
• 15:34
  either
• 15:35
  cover
• 15:35
  them
• 15:35
  a
• 15:35
  lot
• 15:36
  or
• 15:36
  you
• 15:36
  ignore
• 15:36
  them
• 15:36
  because,
• 15:37
  I
• 15:37
  mean,
• 15:37
  if
• 15:37
  they're
• 15:37
  not
• 15:37
  doing
• 15:38
  well,
• 15:38
  they're
• 15:38
  kind
• 15:39
  of
• 15:39
  relevant
• 15:39
  to
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  New
• 15:41
  York
• 15:41
  landscape.
• 15:43
  It's
• 15:43
  always
• 15:43
  better
• 15:43
  when
• 15:43
  they
• 15:44
  have.
• 15:44
  When
• 15:44
  there's
• 15:45
  a
• 15:45
  reason
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  cover
• 15:45
  them.
• 15:45
  Oh,
• 15:46
  without
• 15:46
  a
• 15:46
  doubt.
• 15:47
  Do
• 15:47
  you
• 15:48
  feel,
• 15:48
  you
• 15:48
  know,
• 15:48
  obviously
• 15:49
  you've
• 15:49
  seen
• 15:49
  college
• 15:50
  basketball
• 15:50
  in
• 15:51
  all
• 15:52
  its
• 15:52
  forms,
• 15:52
  do
• 15:53
  you
• 15:53
  feel
• 15:53
  that
• 15:53
  it
• 15:53
  can
• 15:54
  continue
• 15:55
  as
• 15:55
  currently
• 15:55
  constituted
• 15:57
  with
• 15:57
  nil
• 15:57
  out
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  control,
• 15:58
  or
• 15:58
  is
• 15:58
  it
• 15:59
  something
• 15:59
  that's
• 16:00
  eventually
• 16:00
  going
• 16:00
  to
• 16:00
  have
• 16:00
  to
• 16:00
  be
• 16:01
  reined
• 16:01
  in?
• 16:02
  I
• 16:02
  think
• 16:02
  it's
• 16:03
  got
• 16:03
  to
• 16:03
  be
• 16:03
  reigned
• 16:03
  in
• 16:03
  eventually.
• 16:04
  I
• 16:04
  just
• 16:04
  don't
• 16:04
  see
• 16:04
  how
• 16:04
  this
• 16:04
  can
• 16:05
  keep
• 16:05
  growing
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  way
• 16:05
  it
• 16:05
  is.
• 16:06
  You
• 16:07
  know,
• 16:07
  where
• 16:07
  we're
• 16:08
  now,
• 16:08
  you
• 16:08
  know,
• 16:08
  players
• 16:09
  are
• 16:09
  regularly
• 16:09
  getting
• 16:09
  six
• 16:10
  and
• 16:10
  seven
• 16:10
  million
• 16:10
  dollars
• 16:10
  a
• 16:11
  year.
• 16:11
  Where's
• 16:12
  that
• 16:12
  money
• 16:12
  come
• 16:12
  from?
• 16:13
  And
• 16:13
  how
• 16:14
  often
• 16:14
  are
• 16:14
  people,
• 16:14
  how
• 16:15
  long
• 16:15
  are
• 16:15
  people
• 16:15
  going
• 16:15
  to
• 16:15
  willing
• 16:16
  to
• 16:16
  support
• 16:16
  that?
• 16:16
  You
• 16:16
  know,
• 16:17
  it's
• 16:18
  a
• 16:18
  year
• 16:18
  to
• 16:18
  year
• 16:18
  thing.
• 16:20
  Maybe
• 16:21
  the
• 16:21
  bigger
• 16:21
  schools
• 16:21
  will
• 16:21
  always
• 16:22
  be
• 16:22
  able
• 16:22
  to
• 16:22
  do
• 16:22
  that.
• 16:22
  I
• 16:23
  don't
• 16:23
  know,
• 16:24
  but
• 16:25
  I
• 16:25
  just,
• 16:25
  I
• 16:26
  think
• 16:26
  it
• 16:26
  needs
• 16:26
  to
• 16:26
  be
• 16:26
  reined
• 16:27
  in.
• 16:27
  Look,
• 16:28
  I'm
• 16:28
  also
• 16:28
  not
• 16:28
  somebody
• 16:29
  who's
• 16:29
  going
• 16:29
  to
• 16:29
  tell
• 16:29
  somebody
• 16:30
  that
• 16:30
  there
• 16:30
  should
• 16:30
  be
• 16:31
  a
• 16:31
  cap
• 16:31
  on
• 16:31
  how
• 16:31
  much
• 16:31
  they're
• 16:32
  willing
• 16:32
  to.
• 16:32
  They're
• 16:32
  able
• 16:32
  to
• 16:32
  make.
• 16:33
  So
• 16:34
  people
• 16:34
  are
• 16:34
  willing
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  pay
• 16:35
  these
• 16:35
  kids
• 16:35
  six,
• 16:35
  seven,
• 16:35
  eight
• 16:36
  million
• 16:36
  dollars,
• 16:36
  then
• 16:37
  God
• 16:37
  bless
• 16:39
  again.
• 16:39
  We're
• 16:39
  talking
• 16:40
  with
• 16:40
  Mike
• 16:40
  Vacaura
• 16:40
  from

• 16:42
  have

  Long

  We're
• 16:45
  here
• 16:45
  on
• 16:45
  Long

  Island.
• 16:47
  How

• 16:52
  now?
• 16:52
  What
• 16:53
  was
• 16:53
  the
• 16:53
  path?
• 16:55
  Yeah,

  I
• 16:56
  knew
• 16:56
  I
• 16:56
  always
• 16:56
  wanted
• 16:57
  to
• 16:57
  write.
• 16:57
  I
• 16:57
  knew
• 16:57
  I
• 16:57
  always
• 16:58
  wanted
• 16:58
  to

  cover
• 16:58
  sports

  that.

  If

  Hal,
• 19:36
  and
• 19:37
  one
• 19:37
  word
• 19:37
  George,
• 19:38
  what
• 19:38
  word
• 19:38
  would
• 19:38
  you
• 19:39
  use
• 19:39
  for
• 19:39
  them?
• 19:42
  I'm
• 19:42
  sorry,
• 19:43
  you
• 19:43
  cut
• 19:43
  out
• 19:43
  there.
• 19:44
  One
• 19:44
  word
• 19:44
  to
• 19:44
  describe
• 19:45
  George
• 19:45
  and
• 19:46
  one
• 19:46
  word
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  describe
• 19:46
  Hal,
• 19:47
  what
• 19:47
  would
• 19:47
  it
• 19:47
  be?
• 19:50
  George
• 19:50
  is
• 19:50
  demanding.
• 19:51
  Demanding
• 19:51
  almost
• 19:52
  to
• 19:52
  a
• 19:52
  fault.
• 19:53
  Hal
• 19:53
  is
• 19:53
  patient.
• 19:54
  Look,
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  mean,
• 19:55
  and
• 19:55
  I
• 19:55
  think
• 19:55
  that's,
• 19:56
  people
• 19:56
  think
• 19:56
  that's
• 19:58
  a
• 19:58
  fault.
• 19:59
  I
• 19:59
  think
• 19:59
  it's
• 19:59
  actually
• 20:00
  one
• 20:00
  of
• 20:00
  his
• 20:00
  greatest,
• 20:02
  greatest
• 20:02
  strengths
• 20:02
  is
• 20:02
  his
• 20:03
  ability
• 20:03
  to
• 20:03
  keep
• 20:04
  things
• 20:04
  in
• 20:04
  perspective
• 20:05
  and
• 20:05
  understand
• 20:05
  that,
• 20:07
  you
• 20:07
  know,
• 20:08
  the
• 20:08
  Yankees
• 20:09
  are
• 20:09
  going
• 20:09
  to
• 20:09
  be
• 20:09
  fine,
• 20:09
  and
• 20:09
  the
• 20:10
  Yankees
• 20:10
  are
• 20:10
  fine.
• 20:11
  Sometimes
• 20:12
  the
• 20:12
  ball
• 20:12
  doesn't
• 20:12
  bounce
• 20:12
  the
• 20:13
  right
• 20:13
  way
• 20:13
  in
• 20:13
  the
• 20:13
  post
• 20:13
  season.
• 20:14
  It's
• 20:14
  just
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  reality
• 20:15
  of
• 20:15
  it.
• 20:15
  Look,
• 20:15
  the
• 20:16
  Dodgers
• 20:16
  are
• 20:16
  supposed
• 20:16
  to
• 20:16
  be
• 20:17
  an
• 20:17
  unfathomable
• 20:18
  team
• 20:18
  and
• 20:18
  they
• 20:18
  should
• 20:18
  have
• 20:18
  lost
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  World
• 20:19
  Series
• 20:19
  three
• 20:19
  different
• 20:20
  times
• 20:20
  last
• 20:20
  year.
• 20:21
  That's
• 20:21
  the
• 20:21
  way

  even

  the

  of

• 20:32
  You

  what's

  to,
• 20:33
  to
• 20:33
  for
• 20:34
  the
• 20:34
  last,
• 20:34
  let's
• 20:34
  say
• 20:34
  15
• 20:35
  years
• 20:35
  or
• 20:35
  so,
• 20:36
  watch
• 20:36
  this
• 20:36
  Yankee
• 20:37
  team
• 20:37
  because
• 20:37
  a
• 20:37
  lot
• 20:37
  of
• 20:37
  people
• 20:38
  this
• 20:38
  year
• 20:38
  thought
• 20:39
  they
• 20:39
  should
• 20:39
  make
• 20:39
  wholesale
• 20:40
  changes
• 20:41
  and
• 20:41
  they
• 20:41
  kind
• 20:41
  of
• 20:42
  so
• 20:42
  called,
• 20:42
  quote
• 20:43
  unquote,
• 20:43
  ran
• 20:43
  it
• 20:43
  back.
• 20:44
  You
• 20:44
  know,
• 20:44
  what's
• 20:44
  it
• 20:45
  been
• 20:45
  like
• 20:45
  to
• 20:45
  seek
• 20:45
  the
• 20:46
  consistency
• 20:46
  amongst
• 20:47
  the
• 20:47
  Yankees?
• 20:48
  Look,
• 20:48
  I
• 20:48
  think
• 20:49
  it's
• 20:49
  smart.
• 20:49
  They
• 20:49
  win
• 20:49
  94,
• 20:50
  95
• 20:50
  games
• 20:50
  every
• 20:51
  year.
• 20:51
  You
• 20:52
  know,
• 20:52
  ask
• 20:52
  your
• 20:52
  Met
• 20:52
  fan
• 20:53
  friends
• 20:53
  how
• 20:53
  they,
• 20:53
  how
• 20:54
  easy
• 20:54
  that
• 20:54
  is
• 20:54
  to
• 20:55
  do,
• 20:55
  you
• 20:55
  know,
• 20:56
  and
• 20:56
  if
• 20:56
  they
• 20:56
  would
• 20:56
  sign
• 20:56
  up
• 20:57
  for
• 20:57
  that.
• 20:57
  I
• 20:57
  mean
• 20:57
  it's
• 20:57
  not,
• 20:59
  I
• 20:59
  don't
• 20:59
  like
• 20:59
  when
• 20:59
  people
• 21:00
  call
• 21:00
  Yankees
• 21:00
  being
• 21:00
  spoiled,
• 21:01
  but
• 21:01
  I
• 21:01
  think
• 21:01
  they're
• 21:01
  spoiled
• 21:02
  in
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  sense
• 21:02
  that
• 21:03
  they
• 21:03
  don't
• 21:03
  realize
• 21:03
  that
• 21:04
  just
• 21:04
  being
• 21:04
  in
• 21:04
  it
• 21:04
  every
• 21:05
  year
• 21:06
  is
• 21:06
  a
• 21:06
  good
• 21:06
  thing
• 21:07
  and
• 21:07
  it's
• 21:07
  just
• 21:08
  a
• 21:08
  matter
• 21:08
  of
• 21:08
  the
• 21:08
  game
• 21:08
  now.
• 21:09
  I
• 21:09
  mean
• 21:09
  you
• 21:09
  need
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  win
• 21:10
  11,
• 21:10
  sometimes
• 21:11
  12,
• 21:11
  sometimes
• 21:11
  13
• 21:12
  games
• 21:13
  in
• 21:13
  order
• 21:13
  to
• 21:13
  win
• 21:13
  a
• 21:13
  championship.
• 21:14
  Now
• 21:14
  it's
• 21:14
  different,
• 21:14
  it's
• 21:15
  a
• 21:15
  different
• 21:15
  pursuit.
• 21:16
  And
• 21:17
  look,
• 21:17
  I
• 21:17
  know,
• 21:18
  I
• 21:18
  get
• 21:18
  it.
• 21:18
  The,
• 21:19
  the
• 21:19
  dynasty
• 21:20
  boys
• 21:20
  of
• 21:20
  the
• 21:20
  90s
• 21:20
  and
• 21:20
  early
• 21:21
  odds
• 21:21
  they
• 21:21
  won
• 21:21
  three
• 21:22
  series
• 21:22
  also,
• 21:22
  but
• 21:23
  those
• 21:24
  you're
• 21:24
  not
• 21:24
  going
• 21:24
  to
• 21:25
  see
• 21:25
  their
• 21:25
  likes
• 21:25
  again.
• 21:26
  It's
• 21:26
  not
• 21:26
  easy.
• 21:27
  It's
• 21:27
  not
• 21:27
  easy
• 21:27
  to
• 21:28
  drive
• 21:28
  a
• 21:28
  baseball
• 21:28
  potion
• 21:29
  and
• 21:30
  only
• 21:30
  the
• 21:30
  really
• 21:30
  special
• 21:31
  things
• 21:31
  do.
• 21:32
  And,
• 21:32
  but
• 21:32
  you
• 21:32
  can
• 21:32
  say
• 21:32
  you're
• 21:33
  a
• 21:33
  very
• 21:33
  good
• 21:33
  competitive
• 21:33
  team
• 21:34
  and
• 21:34
  you
• 21:34
  want
• 21:34
  to
• 21:34
  be
• 21:34
  in
• 21:34
  it.
• 21:35
  I
• 21:35
  mean,
• 21:35
  you're
• 21:36
  in
• 21:36
  it
• 21:36
  every
• 21:36
  year.
• 21:37
  Yeah,
• 21:37
  definitely.
• 21:38
  Certainly
• 21:39
  in
• 21:39
  it
• 21:40
  every
• 21:40
  year.
• 21:40
  Looking
• 21:40
  at
• 21:40
  this
• 21:41
  year,
• 21:41
  Mike,
• 21:42
  do
• 21:43
  you
• 21:43
  feel
• 21:43
  once
• 21:44
  everyone
• 21:44
  is
• 21:45
  back,
• 21:45
  you
• 21:45
  know,
• 21:45
  Gary
• 21:46
  Cole
• 21:46
  and
• 21:46
  the
• 21:47
  pitching
• 21:47
  staff
• 21:47
  and
• 21:48
  the
• 21:48
  way,
• 21:48
  the
• 21:48
  way
• 21:48
  the
• 21:48
  team
• 21:49
  is
• 21:49
  dealt,
• 21:49
  can
• 21:49
  they
• 21:49
  be
• 21:49
  a
• 21:50
  World
• 21:50
  Series.
• 21:50
  A
• 21:51
  serious
• 21:51
  World
• 21:51
  Series
• 21:52
  contender.
• 21:53
  Of
• 21:53
  course
• 21:53
  they
• 21:53
  can.
• 21:54
  I
• 21:54
  mean,
• 21:54
  they're
• 21:55
  going
• 21:55
  to
• 21:55
  have
• 21:55
  a
• 21:55
  great
• 21:55
  pitcher
• 21:56
  go
• 21:56
  out
• 21:56
  every
• 21:56
  once.
• 21:57
  Everybody's
• 21:57
  healthy,
• 21:57
  they're
• 21:58
  going
• 21:58
  to
• 21:58
  have
• 21:58
  a
• 21:58
  great
• 21:58
  pitcher
• 21:58
  every
• 21:58
  day.
• 21:59
  And
• 21:59
  that's
• 22:00
  especially
• 22:00
  going
• 22:00
  to
• 22:00
  be
• 22:00
  helpful,
• 22:01
  not
• 22:01
  only
• 22:01
  down
• 22:02
  the
• 22:02
  stretch,
• 22:02
  but
• 22:02
  also
• 22:02
  in
• 22:03
  October.
• 22:03
  And
• 22:04
  so
• 22:04
  I
• 22:04
  think
• 22:04
  that's
• 22:04
  a
• 22:04
  huge
• 22:04
  benefit
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  have
• 22:05
  that
• 22:05
  not
• 22:05
  every
• 22:06
  team
• 22:06
  has.
• 22:07
  And
• 22:07
  then
• 22:07
  you
• 22:07
  just
• 22:07
  wait
• 22:08
  and
• 22:08
  see
• 22:08
  how
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  games
• 22:08
  play
• 22:08
  themselves
• 22:09
  out
• 22:09
  in
• 22:09
  October.
• 22:09
  But
• 22:11
  I
• 22:11
  think
• 22:11
  they're
• 22:11
  going
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  be
• 22:11
  in
• 22:12
  great
• 22:12
  position
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  be
• 22:12
  able
• 22:13
  to
• 22:13
  do
• 22:13
  some
• 22:13
  pretty
• 22:13
  great
• 22:13
  things
• 22:13
  in
• 22:14
  October.
• 22:15
  Mike,
• 22:16
  what's
• 22:16
  the
• 22:16
  best
• 22:16
  part
• 22:16
  and
• 22:17
  the
• 22:17
  toughest
• 22:17
  part
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  your
• 22:18
  job
• 22:18
  following
• 22:18
  the
• 22:18
  Yankees
• 22:19
  around
• 22:20
  right
• 22:20
  here?
• 22:21
  Well,
• 22:21
  it's
• 22:21
  just,
• 22:22
  you
• 22:22
  know,
• 22:22
  people
• 22:22
  are
• 22:23
  going
• 22:23
  to
• 22:23
  read
• 22:23
  it
• 22:23
  because
• 22:23
  people
• 22:23
  care,
• 22:24
  you
• 22:24
  know,
• 22:25
  And
• 22:25
  I
• 22:25
  guess.
• 22:26
  I
• 22:26
  guess
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  answer
• 22:26
  is
• 22:26
  the
• 22:27
  same
• 22:27
  way
• 22:27
  the
• 22:27
  other
• 22:27
  day.
• 22:27
  You
• 22:27
  know,
• 22:27
  people
• 22:28
  in
• 22:28
  arrears
• 22:29
  are
• 22:29
  going
• 22:29
  to
• 22:29
  care,
• 22:29
  so
• 22:29
  you're
• 22:29
  going
• 22:29
  to
• 22:29
  hear
• 22:29
  from
• 22:30
  them
• 22:30
  if
• 22:30
  they
• 22:30
  disagree
• 22:31
  with
• 22:31
  you.
• 22:31
  You'll
• 22:31
  hear
• 22:31
  a
• 22:31
  lot
• 22:31
  of
• 22:31
  that.
• 22:32
  That's
• 22:32
  good,
• 22:33
  though.
• 22:33
  I
• 22:33
  mean,
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  always
• 22:34
  love
• 22:34
  to
• 22:35
  hear
• 22:35
  feedback
• 22:36
  about
• 22:36
  whether
• 22:36
  people
• 22:36
  like
• 22:37
  my
• 22:37
  stuff,
• 22:37
  don't
• 22:37
  like
• 22:37
  it,
• 22:37
  don't
• 22:38
  agree
• 22:38
  with
• 22:38
  it.
• 22:39
  That's
• 22:39
  the
• 22:39
  reason
• 22:39
  why
• 22:39
  I
• 22:40
  do
• 22:40
  it.
• 22:40
  You
• 22:40
  know,
• 22:40
  I
• 22:40
  deal
• 22:41
  with.
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  deal
• 22:41
  with
• 22:41
  opinion.
• 22:42
  That's
• 22:42
  my.
• 22:42
  That's
• 22:43
  my.
• 22:43
  That's
• 22:43
  my
• 22:44
  commerce.
• 22:44
  Right.
• 22:45
  Sports
• 22:45
  opinions.
• 22:46
  And
• 22:46
  sometimes
• 22:47
  people
• 22:47
  will
• 22:47
  agree,
• 22:47
  sometimes
• 22:48
  they
• 22:48
  won't,
• 22:48
  but
• 22:48
  that's.
• 22:49
  That's
• 22:49
  all
• 22:50
  part
• 22:50
  of
• 22:50
  it.
• 22:51
  We
• 22:51
  know
• 22:51
  you
• 22:51
  just
• 22:51
  finished
• 22:52
  this
• 22:52
  book
• 22:52
  and
• 22:52
  it's
• 22:53
  out
• 22:53
  again,
• 22:53
  you
• 22:53
  know,
• 22:53
  wherever
• 22:54
  books
• 22:54
  are
• 22:54
  sold.
• 22:57
  I
• 22:57
  don't
• 22:57
  mean
• 22:58
  to
• 22:58
  put
• 22:58
  you
• 22:58
  on
• 22:58
  the
• 22:59
  spot,
• 22:59
  but
• 22:59
  is
• 22:59
  there
• 22:59
  another
• 23:00
  book
• 23:00
  that's
• 23:00
  kind
• 23:00
  of
• 23:01
  percolating
• 23:01
  in
• 23:01
  the
• 23:01
  back
• 23:02
  of
• 23:02
  your
• 23:02
  mind
• 23:03
  going
• 23:03
  forward?
• 23:04
  Yeah,
• 23:04
  there's
• 23:05
  a
• 23:05
  couple
• 23:05
  of
• 23:05
  ideas
• 23:05
  back
• 23:06
  there.
• 23:06
  I'm
• 23:06
  not
• 23:06
  sure
• 23:06
  exactly
• 23:07
  where
• 23:07
  it's
• 23:07
  going
• 23:07
  to
• 23:07
  go,
• 23:07
  but
• 23:08
  hopefully
• 23:09
  I'll
• 23:09
  have
• 23:09
  announcements
• 23:10
  soon.
• 23:10
  We'll
• 23:10
  see.
• 23:12
  I'll
• 23:13
  alert
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  guys
• 23:14
  when
• 23:14
  I
• 23:14
  reach
• 23:14
  that
• 23:15
  conclusion,
• 23:15
  I
• 23:15
  promise.
• 23:15
  We
• 23:16
  appreciate
• 23:16
  that.
• 23:20
  As
• 23:20
  far
• 23:20
  as
• 23:21
  going
• 23:21
  forward
• 23:21
  right
• 23:21
  now
• 23:22
  with
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  Yankees,
• 23:22
  do
• 23:23
  you
• 23:23
  think
• 23:23
  that's
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  right
• 23:23
  approach,
• 23:24
  going
• 23:24
  with
• 23:24
  the
• 23:24
  patient
• 23:25
  how?
• 23:25
  Or
• 23:25
  do
• 23:25
  you
• 23:25
  think
• 23:26
  they
• 23:26
  need
• 23:26
  a.
• 23:26
  Little
• 23:26
  bit
• 23:27
  more
• 23:27
  of
• 23:27
  that
• 23:27
  Demanding
• 23:28
  George?
• 23:30
  I
• 23:30
  think
• 23:30
  demanding
• 23:31
  George,
• 23:32
  the
• 23:32
  reason
• 23:32
  why
• 23:32
  they
• 23:33
  went
• 23:33
  18
• 23:33
  years
• 23:33
  without
• 23:33
  a
• 23:33
  championship.
• 23:34
  I
• 23:34
  get
• 23:34
  it.
• 23:35
  People
• 23:35
  want
• 23:35
  to
• 23:35
  ascribe
• 23:36
  George
• 23:36
  to
• 23:36
  have
• 23:37
  these
• 23:37
  magical
• 23:37
  powers,
• 23:37
  but
• 23:38
  he
• 23:38
  didn't
• 23:38
  have
• 23:38
  them.
• 23:39
  You
• 23:39
  know,
• 23:39
  it
• 23:39
  was
• 23:39
  patience
• 23:40
  that
• 23:40
  filthy
• 23:41
  at
• 23:41
  these.
• 23:41
  After
• 23:41
  George's
• 23:42
  the
• 23:42
  second
• 23:43
  time,
• 23:43
  I
• 23:43
  think
• 23:44
  it's
• 23:44
  patience
• 23:44
  that
• 23:44
  are
• 23:44
  going
• 23:44
  to
• 23:44
  deliver
• 23:45
  them
• 23:45
  again.
• 23:45
  And
• 23:46
  patience
• 23:47
  yields
• 23:47
  95
• 23:48
  wins
• 23:48
  every
• 23:48
  year.
• 23:48
  I
• 23:49
  don't
• 23:49
  see
• 23:49
  why
• 23:50
  anybody
• 23:50
  has
• 23:50
  to
• 23:51
  apologize
• 23:51
  for
• 23:51
  that.
• 23:51
  I
• 23:52
  really
• 23:52
  don't.
• 23:53
  One
• 23:53
  more
• 23:54
  on
• 23:54
  the
• 23:54
  book
• 23:54
  for
• 23:55
  Yankee
• 23:55
  fans
• 23:55
  that
• 23:55
  are
• 23:55
  out
• 23:56
  there.
• 23:56
  Why
• 23:56
  did
• 23:56
  tell
• 23:57
  us
• 23:57
  why
• 23:57
  they
• 23:57
  need
• 23:57
  to
• 23:57
  read
• 23:58
  this
• 23:58
  book,
• 23:58
  Bosses
• 23:59
  of
• 23:59
  the
• 23:59
  Bronx.
• 23:59
  You've
• 23:59
  kind
• 23:59
  of
• 23:59
  given
• 24:00
  us
• 24:00
  a
• 24:00
  lot
• 24:00
  in
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  last
• 24:01
  20
• 24:01
  minutes.
• 24:01
  But
• 24:02
  if
• 24:02
  they're
• 24:02
  going
• 24:02
  to
• 24:02
  pick
• 24:03
  up
• 24:03
  this
• 24:03
  book,
• 24:03
  what
• 24:03
  are
• 24:03
  they
• 24:03
  going
• 24:04
  to
• 24:04
  get?
• 24:06
  I
• 24:06
  just
• 24:06
  think
• 24:06
  it
• 24:07
  fills
• 24:07
  in
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  lot
• 24:07
  of
• 24:07
  blanks
• 24:08
  for,
• 24:09
  you
• 24:09
  know,
• 24:09
  a
• 24:10
  team
• 24:10
  that's
• 24:10
  very
• 24:11
  interesting,
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  legacy
• 24:12
  that's
• 24:13
  very
• 24:13
  interesting.
• 24:14
  And
• 24:15
  you
• 24:15
  know,
• 24:15
  look,
• 24:15
  I
• 24:16
  mean,
• 24:16
  there's
• 24:16
  just,
• 24:17
  there's
• 24:17
  just
• 24:17
  a,
• 24:18
  there's
• 24:19
  a
• 24:19
  lot
• 24:19
  of
• 24:21
  stories
• 24:21
  to
• 24:21
  tell
• 24:21
  and
• 24:22
  I
• 24:23
  tried
• 24:23
  to
• 24:23
  tell
• 24:23
  them,
• 24:23
  you
• 24:24
  know,
• 24:24
  people
• 24:24
  want
• 24:24
  to
• 24:24
  hear
• 24:25
  them
• 24:25
  because
• 24:25
  people
• 24:25
  care
• 24:25
  about
• 24:25
  the
• 24:26
  Yankees
• 24:27
  and
• 24:27
  look
• 24:27
  at
• 24:27
  it.
• 24:28
  I,
• 24:28
  I
• 24:28
  think,
• 24:29
  I
• 24:29
  think
• 24:29
  the
• 24:29
  big,
• 24:29
  biggest
• 24:30
  thing
• 24:30
  you'll,
• 24:30
  you'll
• 24:30
  see
• 24:30
  when
• 24:31
  you
• 24:31
  pick
• 24:31
  up
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  book
• 24:31
  is
• 24:31
  that
• 24:32
  there's
• 24:32
  a
• 24:32
  lot
• 24:32
  of
• 24:32
  laughs.
• 24:32
  To
• 24:32
  me,
• 24:33
  I
• 24:33
  think
• 24:33
  it's
• 24:33
  a
• 24:33
  very
• 24:34
  funny
• 24:34
  book.
• 24:35
  I
• 24:35
  don't
• 24:35
  think
• 24:35
  I'm
• 24:35
  necessarily
• 24:36
  a
• 24:36
  very
• 24:36
  funny
• 24:36
  guy,
• 24:37
  funny
• 24:37
  writer,
• 24:38
  but
• 24:38
  look,
• 24:38
  I
• 24:38
  had
• 24:39
  an
• 24:39
  incredible
• 24:39
  subject
• 24:40
  that
• 24:40
  allowed
• 24:41
  for
• 24:41
  a
• 24:41
  lot
• 24:41
  of
• 24:42
  fun,
• 24:42
  a
• 24:42
  lot
• 24:42
  of
• 24:42
  humor,
• 24:43
  and
• 24:43
  I
• 24:43
  think
• 24:43
  that
• 24:43
  was
• 24:44
  a
• 24:44
  book.
• 24:45
  Well,
• 24:45
  you
• 24:46
  do,
• 24:46
  you
• 24:46
  have
• 24:46
  two
• 24:46
  struggling
• 24:47
  Met
• 24:47
  fans
• 24:47
  right
• 24:48
  here.
• 24:48
  But
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  can
• 24:49
  guarantee
• 24:50
  you
• 24:50
  we
• 24:50
  are
• 24:50
  both
• 24:50
  going
• 24:50
  to
• 24:50
  read
• 24:51
  this
• 24:51
  book
• 24:51
  because
• 24:53
  we're
• 24:53
  always
• 24:53
  interested
• 24:54
  in
• 24:55
  dynasties
• 24:55
  and
• 24:56
  great
• 24:56
  teams.
• 24:57
  Teams,
• 24:57
  you
• 24:58
  know,
• 24:58
  you
• 24:58
  think
• 24:58
  Yankees,
• 24:59
  Dallas
• 24:59
  Cowboys,
• 25:00
  they're
• 25:01
  just
• 25:01
  a
• 25:01
  brand
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  themselves.
• 25:02
  But
• 25:03
  it
• 25:03
  sounds
• 25:03
  like
• 25:03
  it's
• 25:04
  going
• 25:04
  to
• 25:04
  be
• 25:04
  a
• 25:04
  great
• 25:04
  read.
• 25:04
  We
• 25:05
  wish
• 25:05
  you
• 25:05
  all
• 25:05
  the
• 25:05
  best.
• 25:06
  Ken,
• 25:06
  thank
• 25:06
  enough
• 25:07
  for
• 25:07
  joining
• 25:07
  us
• 25:07
  tonight.
• 25:08
  And
• 25:08
  once
• 25:08
  again,
• 25:08
  it's
• 25:09
  Bosses
• 25:09
  of
• 25:09
  the
• 25:09
  Bronx,
• 25:10
  the
• 25:10
  endless
• 25:10
  drama
• 25:10
  of
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  Yankees
• 25:11
  under
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  House
• 25:11
  of
• 25:12
  Stambrona.
• 25:12
  Mike
• 25:13
  Vacaro,
• 25:13
  thanks
• 25:13
  so
• 25:13
  much.
• 25:14
  Good
• 25:14
  luck
• 25:14
  this
• 25:15
  year.
• 25:16
  Stay
• 25:16
  well
• 25:16
  and
• 25:17
  look
• 25:17
  to
• 25:17
  talk,
• 25:18
  look
• 25:18
  forward
• 25:18
  to
• 25:18
  talk
• 25:19
  to
• 25:19
  you
• 25:19
  again
• 25:19
  at
• 25:19
  some
• 25:19
  point.
• 25:21
  Guys.
• 25:21
  Thanks
• 25:21
  for
• 25:21
  all
• 25:21
  the
• 25:21
  time.
• 25:22
  I
• 25:22
  really
• 25:22
  appreciate
• 25:22
  it.
• 25:23
  Oh,
• 25:23
  it's
• 25:23
  our
• 25:23
  pleasure.
• 25:25
  So
• 25:25
  once
• 25:25
  again,
• 25:26
  Mike
• 25:26
  Vacar,
• 25:27
  he
• 25:27
  was
• 25:27
  great.
• 25:27
  You
• 25:28
  know,
• 25:28
  it's,
• 25:28
  I
• 25:28
  know
• 25:28
  he,
• 25:29
  it
• 25:29
  sounded
• 25:30
  like
• 25:30
  he
• 25:30
  was
• 25:30
  at
• 25:30
  work,
• 25:30
  actually.
• 25:30
  I
• 25:31
  think
• 25:31
  there's
• 25:31
  a
• 25:31
  lot
• 25:31
  going
• 25:31
  on
• 25:32
  in
• 25:32
  the
• 25:32
  background.
• 25:32
  He's
• 25:32
  probably
• 25:33
  first,
• 25:33
  first
• 25:34
  loss
• 25:34
  for
• 25:34
  the.
• 25:34
  Yankees
• 25:35
  in
• 25:35
  nine
• 25:35
  days
• 25:35
  down
• 25:36
  in,
• 25:36
  in
• 25:36
  Houston.
• 25:37
  But
• 25:38
  yeah,
• 25:38
  I'm
• 25:38
  sure
• 25:38
  you're
• 25:39
  out
• 25:39
  and
• 25:39
  about
• 25:39
  sometimes
• 25:40
  you
• 25:40
  got
• 25:40
  to
• 25:40
  take
• 25:40
  a
• 25:40
  phone
• 25:41
  call
• 25:41
  while
• 25:41
  you're
• 25:41
  still
• 25:41
  working
• 25:42
  and
• 25:42
  you're
• 25:42
  going
• 25:43
  to
• 25:43
  hear
• 25:43
  some
• 25:43
  of
• 25:43
  that
• 25:43
  stuff
• 25:43
  in
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  background.
• 25:44
  So
• 25:44
  if
• 25:44
  that's
• 25:45
  what
• 25:45
  you
• 25:45
  heard,
• 25:45
  you
• 25:46
  heard
• 25:46
  Mike
• 25:46
  Vaccaro,
• 25:46
  New
• 25:47
  York
• 25:47
  Post,
• 25:47
  talking
• 25:48
  about
• 25:48
  his
• 25:48
  book
• 25:49
  and
• 25:49
  you
• 25:50
  know,
• 25:50
  I
• 25:50
  think
• 25:50
  he's
• 25:50
  right.
• 25:50
  The,
• 25:51
  the
• 25:51
  definition
• 25:52
  of
• 25:52
  the
• 25:52
  Yankees
• 25:52
  changed
• 25:53
  when
• 25:53
  it
• 25:53
  went
• 25:54
  from
• 25:54
  George
• 25:55
  to
• 25:55
  how.
• 25:55
  But
• 25:56
  the
• 25:56
  success
• 25:56
  didn't.
• 25:57
  Right.
• 25:57
  And
• 25:57
  that's
• 25:58
  because
• 25:59
  they
• 25:59
  make
• 25:59
  sure
• 25:59
  that
• 26:00
  they
• 26:00
  put
• 26:00
  a
• 26:00
  winner
• 26:00
  on
• 26:01
  the
• 26:01
  field
• 26:01
  each
• 26:01
  year.
• 26:01
  Now,
• 26:02
  it's
• 26:02
  not
• 26:02
  winning
• 26:02
  necessarily
• 26:03
  in
• 26:03
  championships,
• 26:04
  but
• 26:05
  you're
• 26:05
  getting
• 26:05
  a
• 26:05
  over.500
• 26:06
  team.
• 26:07
  Absolutely.
• 26:07
  That's
• 26:08
  at
• 26:08
  least
• 26:08
  always
• 26:08
  in
• 26:08
  the
• 26:09
  discussion.
• 26:09
  And,
• 26:10
  you
• 26:10
  know,
• 26:10
  the
• 26:11
  one
• 26:11
  thing,
• 26:11
  Chris,
• 26:11
  that
• 26:12
  kind
• 26:12
  of
• 26:12
  fascinated
• 26:13
  me
• 26:13
  as
• 26:13
  he
• 26:13
  was
• 26:14
  talking
• 26:14
  and
• 26:14
  here
• 26:15
  towards
• 26:15
  the
• 26:15
  end
• 26:15
  is
• 26:16
  he's
• 26:16
  mentioning
• 26:16
  about
• 26:17
  how
• 26:17
  this
• 26:17
  book
• 26:18
  is
• 26:18
  funny
• 26:19
  and
• 26:19
  with
• 26:19
  the
• 26:19
  stories
• 26:20
  and
• 26:20
  you
• 26:21
  don't
• 26:21
  think
• 26:21
  comedy
• 26:22
  too
• 26:22
  much
• 26:22
  when
• 26:22
  you
• 26:22
  think
• 26:22
  of
• 26:23
  George
• 26:23
  Steinbrenner,
• 26:23
  although
• 26:24
  I
• 26:24
  don't
• 26:24
  know
• 26:24
  if
• 26:24
  you've
• 26:25
  ever
• 26:25
  seen.
• 26:25
  He
• 26:25
  actually
• 26:25
  hosted
• 26:26
  Saturday
• 26:26
  Night
• 26:26
  Live.
• 26:27
  Yes.
• 26:27
  Remember
• 26:27
  that?
• 26:28
  Yeah.
• 26:28
  And
• 26:28
  it's
• 26:28
  pretty
• 26:28
  funny.
• 26:28
  But
• 26:31
  I'm,
• 26:31
  you
• 26:32
  know,
• 26:32
  any
• 26:32
  sports
• 26:32
  book
• 26:32
  you
• 26:32
  throw
• 26:33
  in
• 26:33
  front
• 26:33
  of
• 26:33
  me,
• 26:33
  I'm
• 26:33
  going
• 26:33
  to
• 26:33
  read
• 26:33
  it.
• 26:34
  But
• 26:34
  this
• 26:34
  really
• 26:35
  sounds
• 26:35
  interesting
• 26:35
  to
• 26:35
  me
• 26:36
  to,
• 26:36
  you
• 26:36
  know,
• 26:36
  see
• 26:37
  some
• 26:37
  of
• 26:37
  the
• 26:37
  lighter
• 26:38
  side.
• 26:38
  And
• 26:39
  he
• 26:39
  did
• 26:39
  mention
• 26:40
  that
• 26:40
  he's.
• 26:41
  Did
• 26:41
  he.
• 26:41
  Did
• 26:42
  he
• 26:42
  use
• 26:42
  the
• 26:42
  term
• 26:42
  friends
• 26:43
  with
• 26:43
  Hal
• 26:43
  Steinbrenner?
• 26:44
  It
• 26:44
  seemed
• 26:44
  like
• 26:44
  he's
• 26:44
  pretty
• 26:45
  tight
• 26:45
  with
• 26:45
  him.
• 26:45
  It
• 26:46
  sounds
• 26:46
  like
• 26:46
  he's
• 26:46
  able
• 26:46
  to
• 26:46
  get
• 26:46
  an
• 26:47
  interview
• 26:47
  or
• 26:47
  sit
• 26:47
  down
• 26:48
  and
• 26:48
  talk.
• 26:48
  You
• 26:48
  know,
• 26:48
  that's
• 26:49
  the
• 26:49
  one
• 26:49
  thing
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  wonder
• 26:49
  about
• 26:50
  these
• 26:50
  guys,
• 26:50
  you
• 26:50
  know,
• 26:50
  when
• 26:50
  they're
• 26:51
  on
• 26:51
  the
• 26:51
  road
• 26:51
  and
• 26:51
  they're
• 26:52
  covering
• 26:52
  these
• 26:52
  teams,
• 26:53
  like,
• 26:54
  is
• 26:54
  it
• 26:54
  friendly?
• 26:55
  Is
• 26:55
  it,
• 26:55
  you
• 26:56
  know,
• 26:56
  professional,
• 26:56
  but
• 26:57
  still,
• 26:57
  like,
• 26:58
  you
• 26:58
  know,
• 26:58
  Kevin
• 26:58
  Burkhardt,
• 26:59
  I
• 26:59
  think,
• 26:59
  was
• 26:59
  friends
• 27:00
  with
• 27:00
  David
• 27:01
  Wright.
• 27:01
  Yes.
• 27:01
  You
• 27:02
  know,
• 27:03
  you
• 27:04
  know,
• 27:04
  Steve
• 27:04
  Gelbs
• 27:05
  is
• 27:05
  friends
• 27:05
  with
• 27:05
  other
• 27:06
  broadcasters,
• 27:07
  but
• 27:07
  is
• 27:07
  he
• 27:07
  friends
• 27:07
  with
• 27:07
  some
• 27:08
  of
• 27:08
  the
• 27:08
  Mets?
• 27:08
  I
• 27:08
  don't
• 27:09
  know.
• 27:09
  Will
• 27:09
  they
• 27:09
  go
• 27:09
  out
• 27:10
  on
• 27:10
  a
• 27:10
  road
• 27:10
  trip?
• 27:10
  Probably
• 27:11
  at
• 27:11
  some
• 27:11
  point.
• 27:12
  But
• 27:12
  I
• 27:12
  think
• 27:12
  with
• 27:12
  an
• 27:12
  owner,
• 27:13
  that's
• 27:13
  a
• 27:13
  totally
• 27:14
  different,
• 27:14
  totally
• 27:15
  different
• 27:15
  mantra.
• 27:15
  It
• 27:16
  is.
• 27:17
  I
• 27:18
  was
• 27:18
  going
• 27:18
  to
• 27:18
  use
• 27:18
  the.
• 27:19
  Well,
• 27:20
  I
• 27:20
  was
• 27:20
  going
• 27:20
  to
• 27:20
  say
• 27:20
  Mike
• 27:21
  Vrabel,
• 27:21
  but,
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  know,
• 27:23
  that's
• 27:23
  a
• 27:23
  whole
• 27:23
  nother
• 27:23
  story.
• 27:24
  But,
• 27:24
  I
• 27:24
  mean,
• 27:25
  and
• 27:25
  you
• 27:25
  can
• 27:25
  get
• 27:25
  into
• 27:26
  the.
• 27:26
  The
• 27:26
  ins
• 27:27
  and
• 27:27
  outs
• 27:27
  and
• 27:27
  the
• 27:28
  ethics
• 27:28
  of
• 27:29
  writers
• 27:29
  and
• 27:30
  what's
• 27:30
  appropriate.
• 27:31
  I
• 27:31
  mean,
• 27:31
  that's
• 27:32
  a
• 27:32
  whole
• 27:32
  nother
• 27:32
  story.
• 27:32
  But
• 27:33
  I
• 27:34
  think
• 27:34
  that
• 27:35
  I
• 27:36
  would
• 27:36
  definitely
• 27:36
  be
• 27:36
  fascinated
• 27:37
  to
• 27:37
  know.
• 27:38
  I
• 27:38
  mean,
• 27:39
  I
• 27:40
  think
• 27:40
  back
• 27:40
  to
• 27:41
  the
• 27:41
  stories
• 27:41
  of
• 27:41
  Billy
• 27:42
  Martin,
• 27:42
  and
• 27:43
  he
• 27:43
  was
• 27:43
  very
• 27:44
  friendly
• 27:44
  with
• 27:44
  a
• 27:44
  lot
• 27:44
  of
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  writers.
• 27:45
  And
• 27:46
  then,
• 27:46
  you
• 27:46
  know,
• 27:46
  late
• 27:47
  at
• 27:47
  night,
• 27:47
  he
• 27:47
  would
• 27:47
  go
• 27:47
  out
• 27:48
  with
• 27:48
  them
• 27:48
  and
• 27:48
  he
• 27:49
  would
• 27:49
  kind
• 27:49
  of
• 27:50
  spout
• 27:50
  off
• 27:51
  about
• 27:51
  George
• 27:51
  and
• 27:52
  players
• 27:52
  and
• 27:52
  whatever
• 27:53
  else.
• 27:53
  And
• 27:53
  for
• 27:53
  the
• 27:53
  most
• 27:53
  part,
• 27:54
  those
• 27:54
  guys
• 27:54
  kind
• 27:54
  of,
• 27:55
  kind
• 27:55
  of
• 27:55
  kept
• 27:55
  that
• 27:55
  quiet.
• 27:56
  I
• 27:56
  looked
• 27:56
  at
• 27:56
  a
• 27:56
  little
• 27:57
  excerpt.
• 27:58
  You
• 27:58
  know,
• 27:58
  one
• 27:58
  of
• 27:58
  the
• 27:58
  things.
• 27:59
  Imagine
• 27:59
  being
• 28:00
  a
• 28:00
  sports
• 28:00
  writer
• 28:00
  after
• 28:01
  George
• 28:01
  Steinbrenner
• 28:02
  goes
• 28:02
  off
• 28:02
  on
• 28:02
  Hideki
• 28:03
  Arabu.
• 28:04
  You
• 28:04
  have
• 28:04
  to
• 28:05
  make
• 28:05
  sure
• 28:05
  that
• 28:06
  you
• 28:06
  type
• 28:06
  the
• 28:07
  correct
• 28:07
  letters
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  what
• 28:08
  he
• 28:08
  said,
• 28:09
  because
• 28:09
  if
• 28:10
  you
• 28:10
  don't
• 28:10
  Put
• 28:10
  a
• 28:10
  hashtag
• 28:11
  in
• 28:11
  there
• 28:11
  or
• 28:12
  something,
• 28:12
  you
• 28:12
  know,
• 28:12
  that
• 28:13
  could
• 28:13
  look
• 28:13
  bad,
• 28:14
  you
• 28:14
  know.
• 28:14
  But
• 28:14
  what
• 28:14
  he
• 28:15
  said
• 28:15
  was
• 28:15
  basically
• 28:16
  just
• 28:16
  saying
• 28:16
  that
• 28:17
  Hideki
• 28:17
  Rabba
• 28:18
  was
• 28:18
  fat.
• 28:18
  Right.
• 28:19
  But
• 28:19
  you
• 28:19
  also
• 28:19
  had
• 28:20
  to
• 28:20
  be
• 28:20
  careful
• 28:20
  of
• 28:20
  the
• 28:20
  way
• 28:20
  it
• 28:21
  came
• 28:21
  across.
• 28:21
  And,
• 28:22
  you
• 28:22
  know,
• 28:22
  he
• 28:22
  just
• 28:22
  was
• 28:23
  an
• 28:23
  owner
• 28:23
  that
• 28:24
  spoke
• 28:24
  his
• 28:24
  mind
• 28:25
  and,
• 28:26
  you
• 28:26
  know,
• 28:26
  at
• 28:26
  times
• 28:26
  he
• 28:27
  paid
• 28:27
  the
• 28:28
  price
• 28:28
  for
• 28:28
  it
• 28:28
  and
• 28:28
  was
• 28:28
  out
• 28:28
  of
• 28:29
  baseball
• 28:29
  for
• 28:29
  a
• 28:29
  little
• 28:29
  while.
• 28:30
  But
• 28:30
  I
• 28:30
  think
• 28:30
  it's
• 28:31
  the
• 28:31
  edge
• 28:31
  that
• 28:31
  the
• 28:32
  Yankees
• 28:32
  needed
• 28:32
  at
• 28:33
  that
• 28:33
  time.
• 28:33
  Right.
• 28:34
  And
• 28:35
  as
• 28:35
  Mike
• 28:35
  said,
• 28:35
  I
• 28:35
  think
• 28:36
  the
• 28:36
  time
• 28:36
  that
• 28:36
  George
• 28:37
  spent
• 28:37
  away
• 28:37
  from
• 28:38
  the
• 28:38
  team
• 28:38
  was
• 28:38
  inevitably
• 28:39
  what
• 28:39
  allowed
• 28:40
  them
• 28:40
  to
• 28:40
  kind
• 28:40
  of,
• 28:41
  you
• 28:42
  know,
• 28:42
  refocus
• 28:42
  into
• 28:42
  the
• 28:43
  second
• 28:43
  act
• 28:43
  that
• 28:43
  he
• 28:43
  had
• 28:44
  as
• 28:44
  owner
• 28:44
  of
• 28:44
  the
• 28:44
  team.
• 28:46
  And,
• 28:47
  you
• 28:47
  know,
• 28:47
  certainly
• 28:47
  that's.
• 28:48
  It's
• 28:48
  a
• 28:48
  little
• 28:48
  bit
• 28:49
  more
• 28:49
  of
• 28:49
  Hal's
• 28:50
  influence
• 28:52
  moving
• 28:52
  forward
• 28:52
  than
• 28:53
  it
• 28:53
  was,
• 28:53
  you
• 28:54
  know,
• 28:54
  the
• 28:54
  fire
• 28:54
  and
• 28:55
  brimstone
• 28:55
  Boss.
• 28:56
  You
• 28:57
  know,
• 28:57
  I
• 28:57
  always
• 28:57
  mention
• 28:58
  this.
• 28:58
  I'm
• 28:58
  a
• 28:58
  couple
• 28:58
  of
• 28:58
  years
• 28:58
  older
• 28:59
  than
• 28:59
  you,
• 28:59
  so
• 28:59
  I
• 28:59
  remember
• 29:00
  the
• 29:01
  Bronx
• 29:01
  Zoo
• 29:03
  when
• 29:03
  they
• 29:03
  were
• 29:04
  in
• 29:04
  that
• 29:04
  area,
• 29:05
  and
• 29:05
  then
• 29:06
  things
• 29:07
  kind
• 29:07
  of
• 29:07
  quieted
• 29:07
  down,
• 29:07
  but
• 29:08
  then
• 29:08
  they
• 29:08
  ramped
• 29:08
  up
• 29:08
  again
• 29:09
  with
• 29:09
  Dave
• 29:09
  Winfield.
• 29:10
  It
• 29:10
  just
• 29:10
  was
• 29:10
  such
• 29:11
  an
• 29:11
  interesting
• 29:12
  team.
• 29:12
  And
• 29:12
  they
• 29:13
  continue
• 29:13
  to
• 29:13
  be,
• 29:13
  and
• 29:13
  they
• 29:13
  always
• 29:14
  will.
• 29:15
  Yeah.
• 29:15
  And
• 29:16
  they've
• 29:16
  put
• 29:16
  in
• 29:16
  a
• 29:17
  good
• 29:17
  amount
• 29:17
  of
• 29:17
  time
• 29:18
  and
• 29:18
  effort
• 29:18
  into
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  team,
• 29:19
  so
• 29:19
  I
• 29:19
  think
• 29:19
  that's
• 29:19
  good.
• 29:20
  Again,

  Bosses

  Bronx,
• 29:23
  it's
• 29:23
  a.
• 29:23
  It's
• 29:24
  a
• 29:24
  read
• 29:24
  that
• 29:24
  you
• 29:25
  probably
• 29:25
  want
• 29:25
  to
• 29:25
  pick

  You

  buy

  a
• 29:30
  look
• 29:31
  at
• 29:31
  it
• 29:31
  first,
• 29:31
  then

  give
• 29:31
  it
• 29:32
  to
• 29:32
  your

  Yes,

  just

  baseball
• 29:37
  fans
• 29:37
  in
• 29:37
  general.
• 29:38
  You
• 29:38
  know,
• 29:39
  again,
• 29:39
  we're
• 29:39
  not.
• 29:40
  We're

  end

  from

  Mike,

  really,
• 29:43
  really
• 29:43
  great

  I'm

• 29:46
  looking

  to

  Knicks,

  lacrosse,

  it
• 32:26
  down

  for
• 32:27
  you
• 32:27
  but
• 32:27
  at
• 32:27
  the
• 32:27
  same
• 32:28
  time
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  want
• 32:28
  to
• 32:28
  hear
• 32:28
  what
• 32:29
  you
• 32:29
  want
• 32:29
  to
• 32:29
  talk
• 32:29
  about.
• 32:30
  So
• 32:31
  you
• 32:31
  know,
• 32:32
  speaking
• 32:32
  of
• 32:32
  the
• 32:32
  Knicks,
• 32:33
  I
• 32:33
  just
• 32:33
  think
• 32:33
  that
• 32:35
  this
• 32:35
  has
• 32:36
  been
• 32:36
  a
• 32:36
  year
• 32:37
  where
• 32:37
  the
• 32:37
  Knicks
• 32:38
  have
• 32:38
  prepped
• 32:39
  to
• 32:39
  be
• 32:39
  healthy
• 32:40
  and
• 32:40
  in
• 32:40
  the
• 32:41
  right
• 32:41
  spot
• 32:42
  in
• 32:42
  the
• 32:42
  playoffs
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  make
• 32:43
  a
• 32:44
  run.
• 32:44
  And
• 32:44
  for
• 32:44
  the
• 32:45
  most
• 32:45
  part
• 32:45
  I
• 32:45
  thought
• 32:45
  they
• 32:45
  were
• 32:46
  there.
• 32:46
  Yes,
• 32:47
  the
• 32:48
  problem
• 32:48
  with
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  Knicks
• 32:49
  has
• 32:49
  literally
• 32:50
  been
• 32:51
  one
• 32:51
  point
• 32:51
  over
• 32:52
  two
• 32:52
  games,
• 32:52
  you
• 32:53
  know,
• 32:53
  losing
• 32:54
  a
• 32:54
  game
• 32:54
  by
• 32:54
  one
• 32:54
  point,
• 32:55
  losing
• 32:55
  another
• 32:56
  game
• 32:56
  by
• 32:56
  one
• 32:56
  point.
• 32:57
  And
• 32:57
  that
• 32:57
  comes
• 32:58
  down
• 32:58
  to
• 32:58
  just
• 32:58
  fourth
• 32:58
  quarter
• 32:59
  execution.
• 33:00
  They
• 33:00
  put
• 33:00
  themselves
• 33:00
  in
• 33:01
  situation.
• 33:01
  It's
• 33:02
  up
• 33:02
  14,
• 33:03
  up
• 33:03
  12,
• 33:03
  up
• 33:04
  16
• 33:04
  when
• 33:05
  they
• 33:05
  just
• 33:05
  get
• 33:05
  down
• 33:05
  the
• 33:05
  stretch
• 33:06
  and
• 33:06
  they
• 33:06
  can't
• 33:06
  score.
• 33:07
  And
• 33:07
  if
• 33:07
  you're
• 33:08
  going
• 33:08
  to
• 33:08
  go
• 33:08
  after
• 33:09
  Jalen
• 33:09
  Brunson
• 33:09
  and
• 33:10
  maybe
• 33:10
  double
• 33:10
  team
• 33:10
  him,
• 33:11
  you
• 33:12
  can't
• 33:12
  just
• 33:12
  throw
• 33:12
  the
• 33:13
  ball
• 33:13
  in
• 33:13
  Mikhail
• 33:13
  Bridges
• 33:14
  hands
• 33:14
  and
• 33:14
  Josh
• 33:14
  Hart's
• 33:15
  hands.
• 33:15
  I
• 33:15
  think
• 33:15
  they're
• 33:15
  going
• 33:15
  to
• 33:15
  hit
• 33:16
  a
• 33:16
  three
• 33:16
  Pointer,
• 33:16
  you
• 33:16
  got
• 33:17
  to
• 33:17
  have
• 33:17
  other
• 33:17
  options.
• 33:17
  And
• 33:18
  I
• 33:18
  think
• 33:18
  that
• 33:18
  big
• 33:18
  options
• 33:19
  is
• 33:20
  Karl
• 33:20
  Anthony
• 33:21
  Towns
• 33:21
  stepped
• 33:22
  up
• 33:22
  with
• 33:22
  a
• 33:22
  triple
• 33:22
  double
• 33:22
  the
• 33:23
  other
• 33:23
  night
• 33:24
  and
• 33:24
  I
• 33:24
  think
• 33:25
  he
• 33:25
  helped
• 33:25
  them
• 33:26
  even
• 33:26
  the
• 33:26
  series
• 33:26
  out.
• 33:28
  Who's
• 33:28
  the
• 33:28
  player
• 33:29
  that
• 33:29
  has
• 33:29
  to
• 33:29
  step
• 33:29
  up
• 33:30
  in
• 33:30
  5
• 33:30
  and
• 33:30
  6
• 33:30
  and
• 33:31
  7
• 33:31
  again?
• 33:32
  It
• 33:32
  doesn't
• 33:32
  have
• 33:32
  to
• 33:32
  be
• 33:32
  that
• 33:33
  guy
• 33:33
  in
• 33:33
  the
• 33:33
  fourth
• 33:34
  quarter,
• 33:34
  but
• 33:34
  somebody's
• 33:35
  got
• 33:35
  to
• 33:35
  make
• 33:35
  an
• 33:35
  impact
• 33:35
  early
• 33:36
  so
• 33:36
  that
• 33:37
  you're
• 33:37
  up
• 33:37
  enough
• 33:37
  that
• 33:38
  that
• 33:38
  fourth
• 33:38
  quarter
• 33:38
  doesn't
• 33:39
  become
• 33:39
  a.
• 33:39
  Oh
• 33:40
  no,
• 33:40
  CJ
• 33:40
  McCollum
• 33:41
  is
• 33:41
  going
• 33:41
  to
• 33:41
  take
• 33:41
  over.
• 33:42
  Yeah.
• 33:43
  You
• 33:44
  know,
• 33:44
  when
• 33:44
  Mike
• 33:44
  Brown
• 33:45
  came
• 33:45
  in,
• 33:45
  the
• 33:45
  whole
• 33:45
  thing
• 33:45
  was
• 33:46
  that
• 33:47
  he
• 33:47
  was
• 33:47
  going
• 33:48
  to
• 33:48
  play
• 33:48
  more
• 33:49
  guys
• 33:49
  throughout
• 33:49
  the
• 33:50
  regular
• 33:50
  season
• 33:50
  so
• 33:51
  that
• 33:51
  the
• 33:51
  superstars
• 33:52
  were
• 33:53
  fresh.
• 33:54
  Yeah.
• 33:54
  You
• 33:54
  know,
• 33:54
  come
• 33:54
  playoff
• 33:55
  time.
• 33:55
  And
• 33:56
  I
• 33:56
  think
• 33:56
  one
• 33:57
  thing
• 33:57
  that's
• 33:57
  been
• 33:57
  a
• 33:58
  theme
• 33:59
  throughout
• 33:59
  this
• 33:59
  year
• 34:00
  though,
• 34:00
  Chris,
• 34:00
  is
• 34:00
  that
• 34:01
  Karl
• 34:02
  Anthony
• 34:02
  Towns
• 34:03
  has
• 34:03
  been,
• 34:04
  if
• 34:04
  you
• 34:04
  can
• 34:04
  say
• 34:04
  it,
• 34:05
  underutilized
• 34:06
  offensively
• 34:06
  at
• 34:07
  least
• 34:07
  because
• 34:08
  you
• 34:08
  know,
• 34:09
  it's
• 34:09
  easy
• 34:09
  to
• 34:09
  say
• 34:10
  all
• 34:10
  his
• 34:10
  numbers
• 34:10
  are
• 34:10
  down,
• 34:11
  but
• 34:12
  you
• 34:12
  know,
• 34:13
  having
• 34:13
  the
• 34:13
  triple
• 34:13
  double,
• 34:13
  he's
• 34:14
  so
• 34:14
  capable
• 34:15
  of
• 34:15
  that.
• 34:15
  And
• 34:16
  the
• 34:16
  offense,
• 34:18
  they're
• 34:18
  not
• 34:18
  going
• 34:18
  to
• 34:18
  be
• 34:19
  a
• 34:19
  great
• 34:19
  defensive
• 34:19
  team
• 34:19
  because
• 34:20
  that's
• 34:20
  not
• 34:20
  Mike
• 34:20
  Brown's
• 34:21
  thing.
• 34:22
  You
• 34:22
  know,
• 34:22
  Tom
• 34:22
  Thibodeau,
• 34:23
  he
• 34:23
  was
• 34:23
  all
• 34:23
  about,
• 34:23
  he
• 34:24
  was
• 34:24
  a
• 34:24
  defensive
• 34:24
  minded
• 34:25
  coach,
• 34:25
  but
• 34:25
  the
• 34:25
  offense
• 34:26
  flowed.
• 34:26
  There
• 34:27
  are
• 34:27
  just
• 34:27
  times
• 34:27
  where
• 34:28
  they
• 34:28
  look
• 34:28
  out
• 34:28
  of
• 34:28
  sync.
• 34:29
  And
• 34:29
  when
• 34:30
  you're,
• 34:30
  you
• 34:30
  know,
• 34:30
  85
• 34:31
  games
• 34:32
  into
• 34:32
  a
• 34:32
  season,
• 34:33
  86
• 34:33
  games,
• 34:34
  how
• 34:34
  is
• 34:34
  that
• 34:35
  even
• 34:35
  possible?
• 34:35
  Yeah,
• 34:36
  and
• 34:36
  it
• 34:36
  just
• 34:36
  seems
• 34:37
  like
• 34:37
  there's
• 34:37
  not
• 34:37
  an
• 34:37
  offensive
• 34:38
  flow.
• 34:38
  It's
• 34:38
  a
• 34:38
  one
• 34:38
  on
• 34:39
  one
• 34:39
  game.
• 34:40
  And
• 34:40
  you
• 34:41
  know,
• 34:41
  the
• 34:41
  fast
• 34:41
  break
• 34:42
  is
• 34:42
  a,
• 34:42
  is
• 34:42
  a
• 34:43
  regular
• 34:43
  season
• 34:43
  thing.
• 34:44
  Once
• 34:44
  you
• 34:44
  get
• 34:44
  to
• 34:44
  the
• 34:44
  playoffs,
• 34:45
  if
• 34:45
  you're
• 34:45
  a
• 34:45
  fast.
• 34:46
  Yeah,
• 34:47
  it's
• 34:47
  a
• 34:47
  half
• 34:47
  court
• 34:47
  game.
• 34:48
  So
• 34:48
  if
• 34:48
  you're
• 34:48
  just,
• 34:48
  hey,
• 34:49
  we're
• 34:49
  going
• 34:49
  to
• 34:49
  press
• 34:49
  people
• 34:49
  or
• 34:50
  we're
• 34:50
  going
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  push
• 34:50
  the
• 34:51
  ball
• 34:51
  when
• 34:51
  it
• 34:51
  goes
• 34:51
  in
• 34:51
  the
• 34:51
  basket,
• 34:52
  you're
• 34:52
  not
• 34:52
  going
• 34:52
  to
• 34:53
  do
• 34:53
  it.
• 34:53
  But
• 34:53
  you
• 34:54
  got
• 34:54
  to
• 34:54
  have
• 34:54
  situations
• 34:55
  down
• 34:55
  the
• 34:55
  stretch
• 34:56
  where
• 34:56
  you
• 34:56
  know
• 34:56
  what
• 34:56
  you're
• 34:56
  doing.
• 34:56
  Now
• 34:57
  I
• 34:57
  thought,
• 34:58
  and
• 34:58
  this
• 34:58
  was
• 34:59
  all
• 34:59
  because
• 34:59
  I
• 34:59
  was
• 34:59
  watching
• 35:00
  the
• 35:00
  game
• 35:00
  on
• 35:00
  TV
• 35:01
  or
• 35:01
  I
• 35:01
  don't
• 35:01
  even
• 35:01
  know
• 35:01
  if
• 35:02
  it's
• 35:02
  on
• 35:02
  Amazon
• 35:02
  prime
• 35:03
  at
• 35:03
  that
• 35:03
  game,
• 35:03
  the
• 35:03
  first
• 35:04
  loss
• 35:04
  that
• 35:04
  the
• 35:04
  Knicks
• 35:05
  had,
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  thought
• 35:06
  when
• 35:06
  C.J.
• 35:07
  McCollum
• 35:07
  was
• 35:07
  at
• 35:07
  the
• 35:07
  line
• 35:08
  that
• 35:08
  they
• 35:08
  had
• 35:08
  a
• 35:08
  timeout
• 35:09
  left
• 35:09
  because
• 35:10
  they
• 35:10
  were
• 35:10
  saying
• 35:10
  they
• 35:11
  have
• 35:11
  another
• 35:11
  timeout.
• 35:12
  So
• 35:12
  I'm
• 35:12
  thinking
• 35:13
  if
• 35:13
  he
• 35:14
  makes
• 35:14
  both,
• 35:14
  they
• 35:14
  call
• 35:14
  a
• 35:15
  timeout
• 35:15
  down
• 35:15
  three,
• 35:16
  get
• 35:17
  advanced
• 35:17
  the
• 35:17
  ball
• 35:17
  to
• 35:17
  mid
• 35:18
  court.
• 35:18
  Right.
• 35:18
  If
• 35:18
  he
• 35:19
  makes
• 35:19
  one
• 35:19
  out
• 35:19
  of
• 35:19
  two,
• 35:19
  you
• 35:20
  call
• 35:20
  timeout,
• 35:20
  move
• 35:20
  it
• 35:21
  up.
• 35:21
  Even
• 35:21
  if
• 35:21
  he
• 35:21
  misses
• 35:22
  both,
• 35:23
  I'm
• 35:23
  not
• 35:23
  going
• 35:23
  no.
• 35:24
  With
• 35:24
  five
• 35:24
  seconds,
• 35:25
  I'm
• 35:25
  Calling
• 35:25
  a
• 35:25
  timeout,
• 35:26
  advancing
• 35:26
  the
• 35:26
  ball.
• 35:26
  Absolutely.
• 35:27
  And
• 35:27
  I
• 35:27
  see
• 35:27
  them
• 35:27
  advance
• 35:28
  the
• 35:28
  ball
• 35:28
  and
• 35:28
  then
• 35:28
  I
• 35:28
  see
• 35:28
  Mikhail
• 35:29
  Bridges
• 35:29
  pull
• 35:29
  up
• 35:29
  for
• 35:30
  a
• 35:30
  pull
• 35:30
  up
• 35:30
  jumper.
• 35:31
  I'm
• 35:31
  going,
• 35:31
  what
• 35:31
  happened?
• 35:32
  So
• 35:32
  again,
• 35:33
  that
• 35:33
  was
• 35:33
  a
• 35:33
  situation
• 35:34
  where
• 35:34
  Mike
• 35:34
  Brown
• 35:34
  used
• 35:35
  the
• 35:35
  timeout
• 35:35
  probably
• 35:36
  at
• 35:36
  some
• 35:36
  point
• 35:36
  because
• 35:37
  he
• 35:37
  thought
• 35:37
  the
• 35:38
  shot
• 35:38
  clock
• 35:38
  was
• 35:38
  winding
• 35:39
  down
• 35:39
  with,
• 35:39
  let's
• 35:39
  say,
• 35:40
  two
• 35:40
  minutes
• 35:40
  to
• 35:40
  go.
• 35:41
  You
• 35:41
  got
• 35:41
  to
• 35:41
  be
• 35:42
  better.
• 35:42
  He's
• 35:42
  getting
• 35:42
  out,
• 35:42
  coached
• 35:43
  by
• 35:43
  Quinn
• 35:43
  Snyder.
• 35:45
  And
• 35:45
  that's
• 35:46
  a
• 35:46
  problem
• 35:47
  because
• 35:47
  you
• 35:47
  brought
• 35:47
  Mike
• 35:48
  Brown
• 35:48
  in
• 35:48
  here
• 35:48
  to
• 35:48
  be
• 35:48
  better
• 35:49
  than
• 35:49
  the
• 35:49
  problems
• 35:50
  that
• 35:50
  Thibodeau
• 35:50
  had.
• 35:51
  Okay,
• 35:51
  so
• 35:51
  that's
• 35:52
  my
• 35:52
  first
• 35:52
  problem.
• 35:52
  Second
• 35:52
  thing
• 35:53
  is
• 35:53
  Mikhail
• 35:54
  Bridges
• 35:54
  got
• 35:54
  to
• 35:54
  go
• 35:55
  to
• 35:55
  the
• 35:55
  basket.
• 35:55
  He
• 35:55
  is
• 35:56
  a
• 35:56
  guy
• 35:56
  that
• 35:56
  is
• 35:56
  afraid
• 35:56
  of
• 35:57
  contact.
• 35:57
  He
• 35:57
  was
• 35:57
  always
• 35:58
  when
• 35:58
  he
• 35:58
  was
• 35:58
  with
• 35:58
  Brooklyn
• 35:59
  and
• 35:59
  he
• 35:59
  would
• 35:59
  just
• 36:00
  pull
• 36:00
  up
• 36:00
  for
• 36:00
  that
• 36:00
  jumper.
• 36:01
  You
• 36:01
  got
• 36:01
  to
• 36:01
  go
• 36:01
  to
• 36:02
  the
• 36:02
  basket
• 36:02
  and
• 36:02
  make
• 36:02
  the
• 36:02
  ref
• 36:02
  call
• 36:03
  a
• 36:03
  foul
• 36:03
  there.
• 36:04
  That's
• 36:04
  what
• 36:05
  I'm
• 36:05
  saying
• 36:05
  is
• 36:05
  they
• 36:05
  need
• 36:06
  another
• 36:06
  guy.
• 36:06
  This
• 36:07
  is
• 36:07
  a
• 36:07
  guy
• 36:07
  they
• 36:07
  gave
• 36:07
  up
• 36:07
  five
• 36:08
  number
• 36:08
  one
• 36:08
  draft
• 36:09
  picks
• 36:09
  for.
• 36:10
  And
• 36:10
  honestly,
• 36:10
  he
• 36:11
  didn't
• 36:11
  score
• 36:11
  for
• 36:11
  a
• 36:12
  game
• 36:12
  and
• 36:12
  a
• 36:12
  half.
• 36:14
  And
• 36:14
  then,
• 36:14
  then
• 36:15
  he
• 36:15
  comes
• 36:15
  out.
• 36:15
  He
• 36:15
  doesn't
• 36:15
  light
• 36:16
  the
• 36:16
  world
• 36:16
  on
• 36:16
  fire,
• 36:16
  but
• 36:16
  at
• 36:16
  least
• 36:17
  he
• 36:17
  looks
• 36:17
  somewhat
• 36:17
  like
• 36:17
  the
• 36:18
  version
• 36:18
  of
• 36:18
  the
• 36:18
  player
• 36:18
  that
• 36:18
  he
• 36:19
  should
• 36:19
  be.
• 36:19
  How
• 36:20
  is
• 36:20
  he
• 36:20
  so
• 36:20
  up
• 36:21
  and
• 36:21
  down?
• 36:21
  Yeah,
• 36:21
  and
• 36:22
  I
• 36:22
  think
• 36:22
  that's
• 36:22
  just
• 36:22
  like
• 36:23
  a
• 36:23
  streaky
• 36:23
  guy
• 36:24
  who
• 36:24
  wants
• 36:24
  to
• 36:24
  be
• 36:24
  in
• 36:24
  rhythm.
• 36:25
  He
• 36:25
  doesn't
• 36:25
  want
• 36:25
  to
• 36:26
  be
• 36:26
  the
• 36:26
  main
• 36:26
  guy.
• 36:26
  He
• 36:27
  wants
• 36:27
  to
• 36:27
  be,
• 36:27
  hey,
• 36:27
  you
• 36:28
  know,
• 36:28
  Jalen
• 36:28
  hit
• 36:28
  two
• 36:29
  shots,
• 36:29
  so
• 36:29
  they're
• 36:29
  going
• 36:29
  to
• 36:29
  guard
• 36:30
  him.
• 36:30
  I'm
• 36:30
  going
• 36:30
  to
• 36:30
  make
• 36:30
  a
• 36:30
  shot.
• 36:31
  But
• 36:31
  if
• 36:31
  he's
• 36:31
  off,
• 36:32
  you
• 36:32
  know,
• 36:32
  you
• 36:32
  kind
• 36:32
  of
• 36:33
  lose
• 36:33
  him.
• 36:34
  I
• 36:34
  just
• 36:34
  feel
• 36:34
  defensively
• 36:36
  they
• 36:36
  don't
• 36:36
  have
• 36:36
  the
• 36:36
  right
• 36:37
  lineups
• 36:37
  in,
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  know,
• 36:38
  at
• 36:38
  the
• 36:38
  end
• 36:38
  of
• 36:38
  the
• 36:38
  game,
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  see
• 36:39
  C.J.
• 36:39
  McCollum
• 36:40
  shooting
• 36:40
  over
• 36:40
  Deuce
• 36:41
  McBride.
• 36:41
  I'm
• 36:42
  going,
• 36:42
  what
• 36:42
  is,
• 36:42
  what
• 36:42
  is
• 36:42
  he
• 36:43
  matching
• 36:43
  up
• 36:43
  for?
• 36:43
  Now,
• 36:44
  I
• 36:44
  know
• 36:44
  they
• 36:44
  took
• 36:44
  out
• 36:44
  Brunson
• 36:45
  because
• 36:45
  they
• 36:45
  didn't
• 36:45
  want
• 36:46
  him
• 36:46
  in
• 36:46
  the
• 36:46
  game
• 36:46
  at
• 36:46
  that
• 36:46
  point.
• 36:47
  But,
• 36:47
  like,
• 36:47
  why
• 36:48
  is
• 36:48
  he
• 36:48
  on
• 36:48
  him?
• 36:48
  You
• 36:49
  got
• 36:49
  to
• 36:49
  make
• 36:49
  sure
• 36:49
  you
• 36:50
  have
• 36:50
  length
• 36:50
  on
• 36:50
  him.
• 36:50
  Yeah.
• 36:51
  And
• 36:51
  make
• 36:51
  somebody
• 36:52
  else
• 36:52
  beat
• 36:52
  you.
• 36:53
  And
• 36:53
  some
• 36:53
  of
• 36:53
  these
• 36:53
  guys
• 36:53
  have
• 36:54
  been
• 36:54
  good.
• 36:54
  Johnson
• 36:54
  has
• 36:55
  been
• 36:55
  good
• 36:55
  for
• 36:55
  the
• 36:55
  Hawks,
• 36:56
  you
• 36:57
  know,
• 36:57
  size
• 36:57
  wise,
• 36:58
  I
• 36:58
  think
• 36:59
  the
• 36:59
  one
• 36:59
  game
• 37:00
  that
• 37:00
  they
• 37:00
  lost,
• 37:01
  the
• 37:01
  first
• 37:01
  game,
• 37:01
  he
• 37:01
  lost
• 37:01
  by
• 37:02
  one.
• 37:03
  The
• 37:03
  pain
• 37:03
  points
• 37:03
  in
• 37:04
  the
• 37:04
  fourth
• 37:04
  quarter
• 37:04
  were
• 37:04
  22
• 37:05
  to
• 37:05
  five.
• 37:05
  Mike,
• 37:05
  that's
• 37:06
  bad.
• 37:06
  You
• 37:06
  can't
• 37:07
  give
• 37:07
  up
• 37:07
  22
• 37:07
  points
• 37:07
  in
• 37:08
  one
• 37:08
  quarter
• 37:08
  just
• 37:08
  by
• 37:09
  guys
• 37:09
  going
• 37:09
  to
• 37:09
  the
• 37:09
  basket.
• 37:10
  I
• 37:11
  just
• 37:11
  think
• 37:11
  they
• 37:11
  still
• 37:12
  haven't
• 37:13
  identified
• 37:14
  their
• 37:14
  identity.
• 37:15
  And
• 37:15
  that's
• 37:15
  a
• 37:15
  problem,
• 37:16
  you
• 37:16
  know,
• 37:16
  because
• 37:17
  they're
• 37:17
  a
• 37:18
  team
• 37:19
  that
• 37:19
  to
• 37:20
  me,
• 37:20
  should
• 37:20
  have
• 37:20
  been
• 37:21
  one
• 37:21
  of
• 37:21
  the
• 37:21
  favorites
• 37:21
  to
• 37:21
  make
• 37:22
  it
• 37:22
  to
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  Eastern
• 37:22
  Conference
• 37:23
  finals
• 37:23
  and
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  NBA
• 37:24
  Finals.
• 37:24
  Without
• 37:25
  a
• 37:25
  doubt.
• 37:25
  And
• 37:25
  after
• 37:25
  watching
• 37:26
  the
• 37:26
  first
• 37:26
  three
• 37:26
  games
• 37:27
  that
• 37:27
  I
• 37:27
  thought
• 37:27
  anything
• 37:28
  but
• 37:28
  that.
• 37:29
  Yeah.
• 37:29
  I
• 37:29
  mean,
• 37:29
  even
• 37:29
  if
• 37:29
  they.
• 37:30
  Let's
• 37:30
  say
• 37:30
  they
• 37:30
  win
• 37:31
  the
• 37:31
  next
• 37:31
  two
• 37:31
  games
• 37:31
  and
• 37:32
  go
• 37:32
  into
• 37:32
  the
• 37:33
  next
• 37:33
  round.
• 37:33
  Well,
• 37:33
  I
• 37:33
  think
• 37:33
  that's
• 37:34
  confidence.
• 37:34
  If
• 37:34
  they
• 37:34
  do.
• 37:35
  Absolutely.
• 37:35
  That
• 37:35
  means
• 37:36
  they
• 37:36
  won
• 37:36
  three
• 37:36
  in
• 37:36
  a
• 37:36
  row.
• 37:37
  Right.
• 37:37
  Which.
• 37:38
  Which
• 37:38
  they
• 37:38
  should.
• 37:39
  I
• 37:39
  mean,
• 37:39
  against
• 37:39
  this
• 37:39
  Atlanta
• 37:40
  Hawk
• 37:40
  team,
• 37:40
  they
• 37:40
  really
• 37:41
  should.
• 37:41
  They're
• 37:41
  the
• 37:42
  better
• 37:42
  team.
• 37:42
  Yes,
• 37:43
  but
• 37:43
  they
• 37:43
  just
• 37:44
  don't
• 37:44
  show
• 37:44
  it
• 37:44
  for
• 37:44
  48
• 37:45
  minutes.
• 37:45
  Right.
• 37:46
  So
• 37:47
  let's.
• 37:47
  Let's
• 37:47
  play
• 37:47
  devil's
• 37:48
  advocate
• 37:48
  here
• 37:48
  and
• 37:50
  say
• 37:50
  that
• 37:51
  the
• 37:51
  Knicks
• 37:52
  don't
• 37:52
  advance
• 37:52
  to
• 37:53
  the
• 37:53
  NBA
• 37:53
  Finals.
• 37:54
  Okay.
• 37:54
  Loose.
• 37:54
  But.
• 37:55
  But
• 37:55
  when
• 37:55
  the
• 37:55
  first
• 37:55
  round.
• 37:56
  Win
• 37:56
  the
• 37:56
  first
• 37:56
  round,.
• 37:59
  I
• 37:59
  think
• 37:59
  Mike
• 38:00
  Brown
• 38:00
  could
• 38:00
  be
• 38:00
  out.
• 38:00
  And.
• 38:01
  Is
• 38:01
  that
• 38:01
  what
• 38:01
  you're
• 38:01
  going
• 38:01
  to
• 38:01
  ask?
• 38:02
  Yeah,
• 38:02
  that
• 38:03
  is
• 38:03
  my
• 38:03
  question.
• 38:03
  Only
• 38:03
  because,
• 38:04
  you
• 38:04
  know,
• 38:05
  he
• 38:05
  came
• 38:06
  in
• 38:06
  with
• 38:06
  a
• 38:06
  lot
• 38:07
  of.
• 38:07
  A
• 38:08
  lot
• 38:08
  of
• 38:08
  pressure,
• 38:08
  obviously,
• 38:09
  to
• 38:09
  at
• 38:09
  least
• 38:09
  repeat
• 38:10
  what
• 38:10
  happened
• 38:10
  last
• 38:10
  year.
• 38:11
  Now,
• 38:11
  if
• 38:12
  they're
• 38:13
  getting
• 38:13
  beat
• 38:13
  by
• 38:13
  better
• 38:14
  teams
• 38:14
  or
• 38:14
  out,
• 38:15
  you
• 38:15
  know,
• 38:16
  the
• 38:16
  lineups
• 38:17
  on
• 38:17
  the
• 38:17
  other
• 38:17
  teams.
• 38:17
  But
• 38:18
  if
• 38:18
  you're.
• 38:18
  If
• 38:19
  you're
• 38:19
  being
• 38:19
  out
• 38:19
  executed
• 38:20
  by
• 38:21
  the
• 38:21
  likes
• 38:21
  of
• 38:21
  Quinn
• 38:21
  Snyder
• 38:22
  or
• 38:23
  whoever
• 38:23
  going
• 38:23
  forward,
• 38:25
  that's
• 38:25
  not
• 38:25
  a
• 38:25
  good
• 38:26
  look.
• 38:27
  Yeah.
• 38:27
  And
• 38:28
  I
• 38:28
  don't
• 38:29
  always
• 38:29
  put
• 38:29
  it
• 38:30
  on
• 38:30
  coaching,
• 38:30
  but
• 38:31
  I
• 38:31
  think
• 38:31
  at
• 38:31
  this
• 38:31
  point,
• 38:32
  the
• 38:32
  Knicks
• 38:32
  have
• 38:33
  to
• 38:33
  have
• 38:33
  the
• 38:33
  right
• 38:33
  lineups
• 38:34
  in
• 38:34
  and
• 38:34
  they
• 38:34
  have
• 38:34
  to
• 38:34
  have
• 38:34
  the
• 38:34
  right
• 38:35
  situations
• 38:35
  down
• 38:35
  the
• 38:36
  stretch.
• 38:36
  Alvarado,
• 38:37
  I
• 38:37
  think,
• 38:37
  for
• 38:37
  the
• 38:38
  most
• 38:38
  part,
• 38:38
  has
• 38:38
  been
• 38:38
  a
• 38:38
  spark
• 38:38
  plug.
• 38:39
  He
• 38:40
  gives
• 38:40
  them
• 38:40
  something.
• 38:40
  There
• 38:41
  are
• 38:41
  games
• 38:41
  where
• 38:41
  maybe
• 38:42
  he's
• 38:42
  a
• 38:42
  little
• 38:42
  bit,
• 38:43
  you
• 38:43
  know,
• 38:43
  a
• 38:44
  liability
• 38:44
  out
• 38:44
  there,
• 38:45
  but
• 38:46
  I
• 38:46
  think
• 38:47
  they
• 38:47
  have
• 38:48
  the
• 38:48
  right
• 38:48
  pieces
• 38:48
  there.
• 38:49
  The
• 38:50
  bench
• 38:50
  can
• 38:50
  be
• 38:50
  a
• 38:50
  little.
• 38:51
  I.
• 38:52
  You
• 38:52
  can't
• 38:52
  stick
• 38:53
  in
• 38:53
  the
• 38:53
  second
• 38:53
  quarter
• 38:54
  and
• 38:54
  the
• 38:55
  early
• 38:55
  fourth
• 38:55
  quarter
• 38:56
  with
• 38:56
  your
• 38:56
  bench
• 38:57
  for
• 38:57
  long
• 38:57
  periods
• 38:58
  of
• 38:58
  time.
• 38:58
  You
• 38:58
  got
• 38:58
  to
• 38:59
  get
• 38:59
  your
• 38:59
  guys
• 38:59
  a
• 38:59
  little
• 39:00
  bit
• 39:00
  of
• 39:00
  time
• 39:00
  and
• 39:00
  then
• 39:01
  put
• 39:01
  them
• 39:01
  back
• 39:01
  in.
• 39:01
  And
• 39:02
  I
• 39:02
  think
• 39:02
  sometimes
• 39:03
  he
• 39:03
  allows
• 39:03
  to
• 39:03
  be
• 39:03
  bet.
• 39:04
  Mitch
• 39:04
  Robinson
• 39:05
  can
• 39:05
  be
• 39:05
  a
• 39:05
  minus
• 39:06
  28
• 39:06
  for
• 39:06
  you
• 39:06
  or
• 39:06
  he
• 39:07
  can
• 39:07
  be
• 39:07
  a
• 39:07
  plus
• 39:07
  10.
• 39:07
  Yeah.
• 39:08
  And
• 39:08
  that's
• 39:08
  not
• 39:08
  good.
• 39:08
  No,
• 39:09
  he's,
• 39:09
  you
• 39:09
  know,
• 39:09
  he's
• 39:09
  got
• 39:10
  to
• 39:10
  be
• 39:10
  a
• 39:10
  force
• 39:10
  when
• 39:10
  he's
• 39:11
  in
• 39:11
  the
• 39:11
  game.
• 39:11
  He
• 39:12
  is
• 39:12
  such
• 39:12
  a
• 39:12
  wild
• 39:12
  card.
• 39:12
  You
• 39:13
  know,
• 39:13
  there
• 39:13
  was
• 39:13
  a
• 39:14
  stat
• 39:14
  the
• 39:14
  other
• 39:14
  night
• 39:15
  in
• 39:15
  the
• 39:15
  game
• 39:15
  that
• 39:15
  the
• 39:16
  Knicks
• 39:16
  blew
• 39:16
  that
• 39:16
  big
• 39:17
  lead
• 39:17
  at
• 39:17
  home.
• 39:17
  Game
• 39:17
  two.
• 39:18
  Sure.
• 39:19
  In
• 39:19
  the
• 39:19
  second
• 39:19
  quarter,
• 39:20
  and
• 39:21
  relatively
• 39:21
  deep
• 39:22
  into
• 39:22
  the
• 39:22
  fourth
• 39:22
  quarter,
• 39:23
  they
• 39:23
  played
• 39:23
  a
• 39:23
  lineup
• 39:24
  that
• 39:24
  had
• 39:24
  not
• 39:24
  played
• 39:25
  together
• 39:25
  all
• 39:26
  season.
• 39:26
  And
• 39:27
  that's.
• 39:27
  That's
• 39:27
  where
• 39:27
  it's
• 39:28
  like,
• 39:28
  hey,
• 39:28
  if
• 39:28
  you
• 39:28
  were
• 39:28
  going
• 39:29
  to
• 39:29
  play
• 39:29
  these
• 39:29
  guys,
• 39:29
  you
• 39:30
  should
• 39:30
  have
• 39:30
  tried
• 39:30
  it
• 39:30
  another
• 39:31
  time,
• 39:31
  not
• 39:31
  now.
• 39:32
  Yeah,
• 39:32
  if
• 39:33
  you're
• 39:33
  Looking
• 39:33
  to
• 39:33
  get
• 39:33
  guys
• 39:34
  minutes
• 39:34
  in
• 39:34
  the
• 39:34
  playoffs,
• 39:35
  that's
• 39:35
  not
• 39:35
  the
• 39:36
  time
• 39:36
  to
• 39:36
  do
• 39:36
  it.
• 39:36
  And
• 39:37
  I
• 39:37
  think
• 39:37
  that
• 39:37
  comes
• 39:37
  from
• 39:37
  assistance
• 39:38
  too.
• 39:38
  Like,
• 39:39
  you
• 39:39
  know,
• 39:39
  the
• 39:40
  head
• 39:40
  coach
• 39:40
  is
• 39:40
  not
• 39:40
  the
• 39:40
  only
• 39:40
  guy
• 39:41
  making
• 39:41
  substitutions.
• 39:42
  Right.
• 39:42
  You'll
• 39:42
  see
• 39:43
  this
• 39:43
  at
• 39:43
  the
• 39:43
  college
• 39:43
  level.
• 39:44
  Like,
• 39:44
  hey,
• 39:44
  listen,
• 39:45
  once
• 39:45
  we
• 39:45
  get
• 39:45
  to
• 39:45
  the
• 39:45
  four
• 39:46
  minute
• 39:46
  mark,
• 39:47
  you
• 39:47
  two
• 39:47
  are
• 39:47
  going
• 39:47
  in
• 39:48
  every
• 39:48
  game.
• 39:48
  Sure.
• 39:49
  You
• 39:49
  know,
• 39:49
  but
• 39:50
  I
• 39:50
  think
• 39:50
  there
• 39:50
  has
• 39:50
  to
• 39:50
  be
• 39:50
  a
• 39:51
  little
• 39:51
  more
• 39:51
  communication.
• 39:51
  Well,
• 39:52
  and
• 39:53
  let's,
• 39:53
  let's
• 39:53
  be
• 39:53
  truthful
• 39:54
  about
• 39:54
  this.
• 39:54
  You
• 39:54
  and
• 39:54
  I
• 39:55
  have
• 39:55
  coached
• 39:55
  enough
• 39:55
  basketball.
• 39:56
  We're
• 39:56
  not
• 39:56
  NBA
• 39:57
  coaches.
• 39:57
  I
• 39:57
  don't
• 39:57
  purport
• 39:58
  myself
• 39:58
  to
• 39:58
  be
• 39:58
  one,
• 39:59
  but
• 39:59
  we've
• 39:59
  coached
• 40:00
  enough
• 40:00
  basketball
• 40:01
  to.
• 40:01
  When
• 40:01
  you're
• 40:01
  looking
• 40:02
  at
• 40:02
  your
• 40:02
  group
• 40:02
  out
• 40:03
  on
• 40:03
  the
• 40:03
  floor,
• 40:04
  don't
• 40:04
  you
• 40:04
  kind
• 40:04
  of
• 40:05
  recognize
• 40:05
  if
• 40:05
  they've
• 40:06
  played
• 40:06
  together
• 40:06
  throughout
• 40:07
  the
• 40:07
  season?
• 40:07
  At
• 40:08
  least
• 40:08
  at
• 40:08
  one
• 40:08
  time,
• 40:09
  you,
• 40:09
  you.
• 40:09
  Know
• 40:10
  what,
• 40:10
  what
• 40:10
  guys
• 40:11
  have
• 40:11
  played
• 40:11
  together.
• 40:13
  But
• 40:13
  I
• 40:13
  think,
• 40:14
  you
• 40:15
  know,
• 40:15
  just
• 40:15
  looking
• 40:15
  across
• 40:16
  the
• 40:16
  board,
• 40:16
  you're
• 40:16
  watching
• 40:17
  the
• 40:17
  Pistons
• 40:17
  struggle.
• 40:18
  Okay.
• 40:19
  Against
• 40:19
  the
• 40:19
  magic.
• 40:20
  You're
• 40:21
  watching
• 40:21
  the
• 40:21
  Celtics
• 40:22
  not
• 40:22
  be
• 40:22
  very
• 40:22
  sharp.
• 40:23
  So
• 40:24
  I
• 40:24
  think
• 40:24
  it's
• 40:25
  kind
• 40:25
  of
• 40:25
  in
• 40:25
  a
• 40:25
  situation
• 40:26
  where
• 40:26
  in
• 40:26
  the
• 40:26
  east
• 40:27
  coast
• 40:27
  it's
• 40:27
  anybody's
• 40:28
  game,
• 40:29
  you
• 40:29
  could
• 40:29
  have
• 40:29
  an
• 40:29
  eight
• 40:30
  seed
• 40:30
  wind
• 40:31
  up
• 40:31
  going
• 40:31
  to
• 40:31
  the
• 40:31
  NBA
• 40:32
  finals.
• 40:32
  That's
• 40:32
  just
• 40:32
  my
• 40:33
  opinion.
• 40:34
  All
• 40:34
  right,
• 40:34
  last.
• 40:34
  Last
• 40:35
  NBA
• 40:35
  question
• 40:36
  before
• 40:36
  we
• 40:36
  move
• 40:37
  on.
• 40:37
  So
• 40:37
  last
• 40:37
  night
• 40:38
  in
• 40:38
  the,
• 40:38
  the
• 40:39
  Timberwolves
• 40:40
  Nuggets
• 40:41
  game,
• 40:41
  at
• 40:41
  the
• 40:42
  end
• 40:42
  of
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  game,
• 40:43
  my
• 40:43
  Minnesota
• 40:44
  is
• 40:44
  dribbling
• 40:45
  out
• 40:45
  the
• 40:45
  clock
• 40:46
  and
• 40:47
  I'm
• 40:47
  lost
• 40:47
  for
• 40:48
  who
• 40:48
  it
• 40:48
  was,
• 40:48
  but
• 40:49
  a
• 40:49
  guy
• 40:49
  goes
• 40:49
  in,
• 40:50
  hits
• 40:50
  a
• 40:50
  layup
• 40:50
  and
• 40:51
  Jokic
• 40:51
  goes
• 40:51
  and
• 40:52
  literally
• 40:52
  grabs
• 40:52
  him
• 40:53
  by
• 40:53
  the
• 40:53
  throat
• 40:53
  almost.
• 40:54
  And
• 40:55
  it
• 40:55
  wasn't
• 40:56
  quite
• 40:56
  a
• 40:56
  fight.
• 40:57
  So
• 40:57
  I've
• 40:57
  heard
• 40:58
  two
• 40:58
  things
• 40:58
  about
• 40:58
  this.
• 40:59
  That
• 41:00
  there's
• 41:00
  absolutely
• 41:01
  no
• 41:01
  way
• 41:01
  that
• 41:02
  you
• 41:02
  do
• 41:02
  that
• 41:03
  and
• 41:03
  that,
• 41:04
  you
• 41:04
  know,
• 41:05
  it's
• 41:05
  not
• 41:05
  that
• 41:05
  big
• 41:05
  a
• 41:05
  deal.
• 41:06
  I
• 41:06
  have
• 41:06
  my
• 41:06
  own
• 41:07
  thought
• 41:07
  on
• 41:07
  it,
• 41:07
  but
• 41:08
  I'm
• 41:08
  curious
• 41:08
  to
• 41:09
  think
• 41:09
  about
• 41:10
  you.
• 41:10
  I
• 41:10
  didn't
• 41:10
  see
• 41:10
  it,
• 41:11
  so
• 41:11
  I
• 41:11
  don't
• 41:11
  know
• 41:11
  what
• 41:11
  the
• 41:12
  exact
• 41:12
  situation
• 41:13
  was,
• 41:13
  how
• 41:13
  much
• 41:14
  are
• 41:14
  up
• 41:14
  and
• 41:15
  you
• 41:15
  know
• 41:15
  how
• 41:16
  there
• 41:16
  was
• 41:17
  already
• 41:17
  altercations
• 41:18
  during
• 41:18
  the
• 41:18
  game.
• 41:18
  Right.
• 41:19
  So
• 41:19
  I
• 41:19
  think
• 41:19
  that's,
• 41:19
  you
• 41:20
  know,
• 41:20
  one
• 41:20
  of
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  things
• 41:21
  where
• 41:21
  it's
• 41:21
  like
• 41:21
  you
• 41:22
  got
• 41:22
  to
• 41:22
  just
• 41:22
  let
• 41:22
  it
• 41:23
  go.
• 41:23
  But
• 41:23
  I've
• 41:24
  seen
• 41:24
  guys,
• 41:24
  you
• 41:25
  know,
• 41:25
  try
• 41:25
  to
• 41:25
  dribble
• 41:26
  out
• 41:26
  the
• 41:26
  clock
• 41:26
  at
• 41:26
  half
• 41:27
  court
• 41:27
  and
• 41:27
  guys
• 41:27
  steal
• 41:28
  the
• 41:28
  ball
• 41:28
  out
• 41:28
  of
• 41:28
  their
• 41:28
  pocket,
• 41:29
  down
• 41:29
  by
• 41:29
  14.
• 41:30
  And
• 41:30
  then
• 41:30
  that
• 41:30
  guy
• 41:31
  goes
• 41:31
  up
• 41:31
  for
• 41:31
  a
• 41:31
  layup
• 41:31
  and
• 41:31
  he
• 41:32
  gets
• 41:32
  demolished
• 41:32
  because
• 41:33
  they're
• 41:33
  mad
• 41:33
  that
• 41:33
  he's
• 41:34
  stealing
• 41:34
  the
• 41:34
  ball
• 41:34
  when
• 41:34
  they
• 41:34
  were
• 41:34
  trying
• 41:35
  to
• 41:35
  dribble
• 41:35
  it
• 41:35
  out.
• 41:37
  For
• 41:37
  the
• 41:37
  most
• 41:37
  part,
• 41:39
  it's
• 41:39
  an
• 41:39
  unnecessary
• 41:40
  layup.
• 41:41
  Yeah.
• 41:41
  Pull
• 41:41
  the
• 41:41
  ball
• 41:41
  out,
• 41:42
  end
• 41:42
  the
• 41:42
  game.
• 41:42
  And
• 41:43
  stop
• 41:43
  with
• 41:43
  the
• 41:44
  drama.
• 41:44
  No
• 41:44
  need
• 41:44
  to.
• 41:45
  You
• 41:45
  know,
• 41:45
  I
• 41:45
  even
• 41:45
  don't
• 41:46
  understand
• 41:46
  why.
• 41:47
  And
• 41:47
  the
• 41:47
  NBA
• 41:47
  is
• 41:48
  a
• 41:48
  little
• 41:48
  bit
• 41:48
  different,
• 41:48
  but
• 41:49
  if
• 41:49
  you
• 41:49
  got
• 41:49
  45
• 41:50
  seconds
• 41:50
  to
• 41:50
  go
• 41:50
  and
• 41:50
  you
• 41:50
  got
• 41:51
  your
• 41:51
  subs
• 41:51
  in,
• 41:51
  why
• 41:52
  are
• 41:52
  you
• 41:52
  bombing
• 41:52
  threes
• 41:52
  two
• 41:53
  seconds
• 41:53
  into
• 41:53
  the
• 41:53
  shot
• 41:53
  clock?
• 41:54
  You
• 41:54
  know,
• 41:54
  just.
• 41:55
  Just
• 41:55
  run
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  clock
• 41:55
  a
• 41:56
  little
• 41:56
  bit
• 41:56
  more.
• 41:56
  Yeah,
• 41:57
  it's.
• 41:57
  And
• 41:58
  I
• 41:58
  think
• 41:58
  that's
• 41:59
  why
• 41:59
  a
• 42:00
  lot
• 42:00
  of
• 42:00
  purists
• 42:01
  criticize
• 42:02
  the
• 42:02
  NBA,
• 42:02
  because
• 42:03
  it's.
• 42:03
  There's
• 42:04
  a
• 42:04
  right
• 42:04
  way
• 42:04
  and
• 42:04
  a
• 42:05
  wrong
• 42:05
  way
• 42:05
  to
• 42:05
  play
• 42:06
  and.
• 42:06
  And
• 42:06
  you
• 42:06
  disrespect
• 42:07
  the
• 42:07
  game
• 42:08
  again.
• 42:08
  I
• 42:08
  think
• 42:08
  it's
• 42:08
  a
• 42:09
  lot
• 42:09
  to
• 42:09
  do
• 42:09
  with
• 42:09
  how
• 42:10
  the
• 42:10
  game
• 42:10
  is
• 42:10
  flowing,
• 42:10
  too.
• 42:11
  And
• 42:11
  in
• 42:11
  the
• 42:11
  NBA,
• 42:11
  if
• 42:12
  you
• 42:12
  got
• 42:12
  teas
• 42:12
  being
• 42:13
  thrown
• 42:13
  out,
• 42:13
  I
• 42:13
  think
• 42:13
  Dante
• 42:14
  divincenzo
• 42:14
  towards
• 42:15
  Achilles.
• 42:17
  Aunt
• 42:17
  got
• 42:18
  hurt,
• 42:18
  too.
• 42:18
  He's.
• 42:19
  He's
• 42:19
  out
• 42:19
  now,
• 42:21
  probably.
• 42:21
  I
• 42:22
  mean,
• 42:22
  for
• 42:22
  a
• 42:22
  while.
• 42:22
  Yeah,
• 42:23
  for
• 42:23
  a
• 42:23
  while.
• 42:23
  And
• 42:23
  they're
• 42:24
  up
• 42:24
  3
• 42:24
  1.
• 42:24
  I
• 42:24
  don't
• 42:25
  know.
• 42:25
  You
• 42:25
  know,
• 42:25
  how
• 42:25
  that's
• 42:25
  gonna
• 42:26
  now.
• 42:26
  You
• 42:26
  know,
• 42:27
  you
• 42:28
  might
• 42:28
  turn
• 42:28
  around.
• 42:28
  But
• 42:28
  I
• 42:29
  think
• 42:29
  once
• 42:29
  there's
• 42:29
  bad
• 42:30
  blood
• 42:30
  there,
• 42:30
  I
• 42:30
  think
• 42:30
  that
• 42:31
  also
• 42:31
  changes.
• 42:31
  You
• 42:31
  know,
• 42:31
  think
• 42:31
  about
• 42:32
  a
• 42:32
  hockey
• 42:32
  game.
• 42:34
  You
• 42:34
  know,
• 42:34
  a
• 42:34
  team's
• 42:34
  down
• 42:35
  3:1
• 42:36
  with
• 42:36
  10
• 42:37
  seconds
• 42:37
  to
• 42:37
  go,
• 42:37
  and
• 42:37
  the
• 42:38
  team
• 42:38
  with
• 42:38
  one,
• 42:39
  you
• 42:39
  know,
• 42:39
  one
• 42:40
  goal
• 42:40
  takes
• 42:40
  a
• 42:40
  shot
• 42:41
  from
• 42:41
  75ft.
• 42:42
  Yeah.
• 42:42
  If
• 42:42
  there
• 42:43
  were
• 42:43
  five
• 42:43
  fights
• 42:44
  earlier
• 42:44
  in
• 42:44
  the
• 42:44
  game,
• 42:44
  you
• 42:45
  realize
• 42:45
  that
• 42:45
  that
• 42:45
  guy's
• 42:45
  taking
• 42:46
  a
• 42:46
  slap
• 42:46
  shot
• 42:46
  to
• 42:46
  try
• 42:46
  and
• 42:47
  probably
• 42:47
  hurt
• 42:47
  somebody.
• 42:47
  Yeah.
• 42:48
  In
• 42:49
  a
• 42:49
  game
• 42:49
  that
• 42:49
  doesn't
• 42:50
  have
• 42:50
  that,
• 42:50
  you
• 42:51
  know,
• 42:51
  draw
• 42:51
  up
• 42:52
  to
• 42:52
  it,
• 42:52
  then
• 42:52
  maybe
• 42:53
  that.
• 42:53
  That
• 42:53
  shot
• 42:54
  is
• 42:54
  meaningless.
• 42:55
  Pull
• 42:55
  the
• 42:55
  ball
• 42:56
  out
• 42:56
  and
• 42:56
  don't
• 42:57
  give
• 42:57
  people
• 42:57
  an
• 42:57
  opportunity
• 42:58
  for
• 42:58
  bulletin
• 42:59
  board
• 42:59
  material.
• 43:00
  Yeah.
• 43:00
  And
• 43:00
  you
• 43:01
  don't
• 43:01
  want
• 43:01
  anybody
• 43:01
  getting
• 43:01
  hurt
• 43:02
  either,
• 43:02
  Right?
• 43:02
  Definitely.
• 43:03
  And
• 43:03
  these
• 43:03
  are
• 43:03
  some
• 43:04
  big
• 43:04
  fellas
• 43:05
  out
• 43:05
  there.
• 43:06
  All
• 43:06
  right,
• 43:06
  so
• 43:06
  here
• 43:07
  we
• 43:07
  are.
• 43:07
  According
• 43:08
  to
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  clock
• 43:08
  in
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  studio,
• 43:09
  it
• 43:09
  is
• 43:09
  8,
• 43:10
  44,
• 43:11
  and
• 43:11
  30
• 43:11
  seconds.
• 43:12
  We've
• 43:13
  held
• 43:13
  off
• 43:13
  this
• 43:13
  long.
• 43:15
  The
• 43:15
  New
• 43:16
  York
• 43:16
  Mets.
• 43:17
  It's
• 43:17
  been
• 43:18
  approximately
• 43:19
  a
• 43:19
  month
• 43:19
  since
• 43:19
  we've
• 43:19
  been
• 43:19
  in
• 43:19
  the
• 43:20
  studio.
• 43:20
  It
• 43:20
  was
• 43:20
  early.
• 43:21
  Early
• 43:21
  season,
• 43:22
  you
• 43:23
  know,
• 43:23
  obviously
• 43:24
  winning.
• 43:25
  Winning
• 43:26
  games.
• 43:27
  They
• 43:27
  won
• 43:28
  two
• 43:28
  the
• 43:28
  other
• 43:28
  day
• 43:28
  to
• 43:28
  put
• 43:29
  together
• 43:29
  this
• 43:29
  little
• 43:30
  mini
• 43:31
  winning
• 43:31
  streak,
• 43:31
  but
• 43:32
  that
• 43:32
  was
• 43:33
  obviously
• 43:33
  overshadowed
• 43:34
  by
• 43:34
  the
• 43:34
  huge
• 43:34
  losing
• 43:35
  streak.
• 43:35
  And
• 43:36
  today
• 43:36
  got
• 43:36
  swept
• 43:37
  in
• 43:37
  a
• 43:37
  doubleheader
• 43:38
  by
• 43:38
  the
• 43:38
  Colorado
• 43:39
  Rockies.
• 43:40
  I
• 43:41
  asked
• 43:41
  you
• 43:41
  this
• 43:41
  question
• 43:41
  the
• 43:42
  other
• 43:42
  night,
• 43:42
  and
• 43:43
  you
• 43:43
  had
• 43:43
  a
• 43:43
  very
• 43:44
  quick
• 43:44
  answer.
• 43:45
  Is
• 43:46
  there
• 43:46
  anything
• 43:46
  that
• 43:46
  can
• 43:47
  be
• 43:47
  done
• 43:47
  with
• 43:47
  this
• 43:47
  team?
• 43:48
  No.
• 43:48
  No.
• 43:49
  Like,
• 43:50
  honestly,
• 43:51
  you're
• 43:51
  throwing
• 43:51
  different
• 43:51
  lineups
• 43:52
  out
• 43:52
  there.
• 43:53
  Same
• 43:53
  stuff's
• 43:53
  happening.
• 43:54
  You're
• 43:54
  throwing
• 43:54
  different
• 43:54
  pitchers
• 43:55
  out
• 43:55
  there.
• 43:55
  Same
• 43:56
  things
• 43:56
  are
• 43:56
  happening.
• 43:58
  You're
• 43:58
  trying
• 43:59
  to
• 43:59
  move
• 44:00
  guys
• 44:00
  up
• 44:00
  and
• 44:00
  down
• 44:01
  in
• 44:01
  the
• 44:01
  lineup.
• 44:01
  Nothing
• 44:02
  seems
• 44:02
  to
• 44:02
  happen
• 44:03
  at
• 44:03
  this
• 44:04
  point,
• 44:04
  Mike.
• 44:04
  The
• 44:05
  reality
• 44:05
  Is
• 44:06
  this
• 44:06
  is
• 44:06
  not
• 44:07
  a
• 44:07
  bad
• 44:07
  team.
• 44:07
  This
• 44:08
  is
• 44:08
  a
• 44:08
  horrendous
• 44:09
  baseball
• 44:09
  team.
• 44:10
  And
• 44:10
  I'm
• 44:10
  going
• 44:11
  to
• 44:11
  say
• 44:11
  this
• 44:11
  even
• 44:11
  more
• 44:11
  specifically.
• 44:12
  This
• 44:12
  is
• 44:13
  a
• 44:13
  horrendous
• 44:13
  offensive
• 44:14
  baseball
• 44:14
  team.
• 44:15
  The
• 44:15
  guys
• 44:16
  cannot
• 44:16
  hit
• 44:17
  the
• 44:17
  ball.
• 44:17
  And
• 44:18
  then
• 44:18
  the
• 44:18
  guys
• 44:18
  who
• 44:18
  are
• 44:18
  supposed
• 44:19
  to
• 44:19
  be
• 44:19
  playing
• 44:19
  defense
• 44:20
  and
• 44:20
  preventing
• 44:21
  runs
• 44:22
  are
• 44:22
  in
• 44:23
  playing
• 44:23
  positions
• 44:23
  that
• 44:23
  they've
• 44:24
  never
• 44:24
  played
• 44:24
  before.
• 44:25
  Mike,
• 44:25
  you
• 44:25
  got
• 44:26
  guys
• 44:26
  out
• 44:26
  there
• 44:26
  who
• 44:27
  are
• 44:27
  not
• 44:27
  supposed
• 44:27
  to
• 44:27
  be
• 44:27
  left
• 44:28
  fielders,
• 44:28
  third
• 44:28
  baseman,
• 44:29
  first
• 44:29
  baseman,
• 44:30
  and
• 44:30
  you
• 44:30
  expect
• 44:30
  to
• 44:31
  prevent
• 44:31
  runs.
• 44:32
  It's
• 44:32
  not
• 44:32
  happening.
• 44:33
  Watching
• 44:33
  a
• 44:34
  ball
• 44:34
  get
• 44:34
  thrown
• 44:34
  all
• 44:34
  over,
• 44:34
  kicked
• 44:35
  all
• 44:35
  over.
• 44:35
  And
• 44:36
  it's
• 44:36
  really
• 44:36
  bad.
• 44:37
  I
• 44:37
  mean,
• 44:38
  did
• 44:38
  David
• 44:38
  Stearns
• 44:39
  really
• 44:39
  think
• 44:39
  that
• 44:40
  everyone
• 44:40
  would
• 44:41
  buy
• 44:41
  his
• 44:42
  claim
• 44:42
  of
• 44:42
  the.
• 44:43
  And
• 44:43
  we're
• 44:44
  doing
• 44:44
  a
• 44:44
  lot
• 44:44
  of
• 44:44
  air
• 44:44
  quotes
• 44:45
  here
• 44:45
  preventing
• 44:46
  runs.
• 44:46
  I
• 44:47
  think
• 44:47
  people
• 44:47
  did.
• 44:48
  I
• 44:48
  don't
• 44:49
  understand
• 44:49
  it
• 44:49
  though,
• 44:49
  because
• 44:50
  if
• 44:50
  you
• 44:50
  were
• 44:50
  doing
• 44:50
  that,
• 44:51
  then
• 44:51
  tell
• 44:51
  me
• 44:52
  what
• 44:52
  you
• 44:52
  did
• 44:52
  to
• 44:52
  put
• 44:52
  a
• 44:53
  better
• 44:53
  defensive
• 44:53
  team
• 44:54
  on
• 44:54
  the
• 44:54
  field
• 44:54
  in
• 44:54
  order
• 44:55
  to
• 44:55
  help
• 44:55
  you
• 44:55
  win
• 44:55
  games.
• 44:56
  Right.
• 44:56
  You
• 44:56
  know,
• 44:57
  you
• 44:58
  know,
• 44:58
  they
• 44:58
  wanted
• 44:58
  to
• 44:58
  go
• 44:58
  out
• 44:59
  there
• 44:59
  and
• 44:59
  eliminate
• 45:00
  themselves
• 45:00
  from
• 45:00
  certain
• 45:01
  things.
• 45:01
  I'm
• 45:01
  going
• 45:01
  to
• 45:02
  throw
• 45:02
  some
• 45:02
  numbers
• 45:02
  out
• 45:02
  there,
• 45:02
  see
• 45:03
  where
• 45:03
  you
• 45:03

  Okay.

  Okay.

  Yes.

  Oh

  boy.
• 45:38
  I

  they

  in

  20,

  Well,

  I'll

  tell

  you

  They're

  leading
• 45:48
  home
• 45:48
  run
• 45:48
  guy

  Francisco
• 45:49
  Alvarez
• 45:50
  with
• 45:50
  four,
• 45:50
  which
• 45:51
  leaves
• 45:51
  him
• 45:51
  as
• 45:51
  the
• 45:52
  60th
• 45:52
  highest
• 45:53
  home
• 45:54
  run.
• 45:54
  All
• 45:54
  right,
• 45:54
  maybe
• 45:54
  30th.
• 45:55
  The
• 45:55
  Mets
• 45:56
  are
• 45:56
  26.
• 45:56
  They
• 45:57
  have
• 45:57
  19
• 45:57
  homers.
• 45:58
  Wow.
• 45:58
  Okay.
• 45:59
  There's
• 45:59
  only
• 45:59
  two
• 45:59
  other
• 45:59
  teams
• 46:00
  with
• 46:00
  less
• 46:00
  than
• 46:00
  them,
• 46:00
  the
• 46:00
  Red
• 46:00
  Sox
• 46:01
  and
• 46:01
  the
• 46:01
  Giants.
• 46:01
  19
• 46:02
  homers.
• 46:03
  Murakami,
• 46:04
  a
• 46:04
  guy
• 46:05
  they
• 46:05
  didn't
• 46:05
  even
• 46:05
  want
• 46:06
  to
• 46:06
  go
• 46:06
  after,
• 46:06
  has
• 46:06
  11
• 46:07
  himself.
• 46:08
  We
• 46:08
  didn't
• 46:08
  want
• 46:08
  to
• 46:08
  go
• 46:09
  after
• 46:09
  him.
• 46:10
  Ops.
• 46:15
  Again,
• 46:16
  25.
• 46:16
  26.
• 46:17
  They're
• 46:17
  dead
• 46:17
  last.
• 46:18
  And
• 46:18
  it.
• 46:18
  Mike,
• 46:19
  it's
• 46:19
  not
• 46:19
  even
• 46:19
  close.
• 46:20
  There's
• 46:20
  636.
• 46:21
  The
• 46:22
  next
• 46:22
  highest
• 46:22
  is
• 46:22
  663.
• 46:24
  They're
• 46:25
  like
• 46:25
  40
• 46:25
  points
• 46:26
  away.
• 46:26
  It
• 46:27
  is
• 46:27
  really
• 46:27
  bad
• 46:27
  slugging
• 46:28
  percentage.
• 46:28
  Where
• 46:29
  do
• 46:29
  you
• 46:29
  think
• 46:29
  they
• 46:29
  are?
• 46:30
  Well,
• 46:30
  if
• 46:31
  they're.
• 46:31
  If
• 46:31
  they're
• 46:31
  so
• 46:31
  bad
• 46:31
  in
• 46:32
  homer's
• 46:32
  and
• 46:32
  the
• 46:32
  slugging
• 46:33
  percentage
• 46:33
  has
• 46:33
  got
• 46:33
  to
• 46:33
  be
• 46:34
  28
• 46:35
  dead
• 46:35
  last.
• 46:36
  344
• 46:37
  slugging
• 46:38
  on
• 46:38
  base
• 46:38
  percentage.
• 46:39
  Because
• 46:39
  now
• 46:39
  if
• 46:39
  you
• 46:40
  get
• 46:40
  on
• 46:40
  base,
• 46:40
  maybe
• 46:40
  you
• 46:40
  could
• 46:41
  do
• 46:41
  something
• 46:41
  right,
• 46:42
  Mike.
• 46:42
  Dead
• 46:43
  last.
• 46:44
  292.
• 46:45
  They're
• 46:46
  not
• 46:46
  even
• 46:46
  getting
• 46:46
  on
• 46:46
  base
• 46:47
  30%
• 46:47
  of
• 46:48
  the
• 46:48
  time.
• 46:48
  They're
• 46:49
  hitting
• 46:49
  his
• 46:50
  fifth
• 46:50
  worst.
• 46:50
  Everything
• 46:51
  else
• 46:51
  is
• 46:51
  dead
• 46:52
  last.
• 46:53
  Now
• 46:54
  I
• 46:54
  know
• 46:54
  that,
• 46:55
  you
• 46:55
  know,
• 46:56
  you're
• 46:57
  going
• 46:57
  to
• 46:57
  look
• 46:57
  at
• 46:57
  me
• 46:57
  a
• 46:57
  little
• 46:58
  funny
• 46:58
  here.
• 46:59
  Juan
• 47:00
  Soto
• 47:00
  being
• 47:00
  out
• 47:01
  impacted
• 47:01
  that
• 47:02
  somehow.
• 47:02
  Okay,
• 47:03
  but
• 47:03
  not
• 47:03
  so
• 47:04
  that.
• 47:04
  I
• 47:04
  mean,
• 47:05
  if
• 47:05
  he
• 47:05
  had
• 47:05
  been
• 47:05
  even
• 47:06
  his
• 47:06
  normal
• 47:07
  self,
• 47:07
  would
• 47:07
  these
• 47:07
  numbers
• 47:08
  be
• 47:08
  dramatically
• 47:09
  better?
• 47:09
  Well,
• 47:10
  he's
• 47:10
  going
• 47:10
  to
• 47:10
  get
• 47:10
  walks
• 47:10
  if
• 47:11
  he's
• 47:11
  there.
• 47:11
  Yes,
• 47:11
  he's
• 47:11
  going
• 47:12
  to
• 47:12
  walk.
• 47:12
  They're
• 47:12
  just
• 47:12
  not
• 47:12
  going
• 47:13
  to
• 47:13
  pitch
• 47:13
  to
• 47:13
  him.
• 47:13
  Mike.
• 47:14
  RBI's
• 47:14
  dead
• 47:15
  last.
• 47:15
  85
• 47:16
  run
• 47:16
  scored,
• 47:17
  dead
• 47:17
  last.
• 47:17
  Okay?
• 47:18
  They're
• 47:18
  not
• 47:18
  even
• 47:19
  driving
• 47:19
  runs
• 47:20
  in.
• 47:20
  There's
• 47:20
  only
• 47:20
  four
• 47:20
  teams
• 47:21
  that
• 47:21
  have
• 47:21
  under
• 47:21
  100
• 47:22
  RBIs.
• 47:22
  We
• 47:22
  have
• 47:23
  85.
• 47:25
  I'm
• 47:25
  sorry
• 47:25
  to
• 47:25
  put
• 47:26
  the
• 47:26
  we
• 47:26
  on
• 47:26
  this,
• 47:26
  but
• 47:27
  it's,
• 47:27
  it's
• 47:27
  attacking
• 47:28
  Mets
• 47:28
  fans
• 47:28
  lives.
• 47:29
  They,
• 47:29
  they
• 47:30
  are
• 47:30
  literally
• 47:30
  just
• 47:31
  every
• 47:31
  day
• 47:32
  seeing
• 47:32
  the
• 47:32
  same
• 47:32
  thing.
• 47:33
  To
• 47:33
  get
• 47:33
  swept
• 47:34
  by
• 47:34
  the
• 47:34
  Colorado
• 47:35
  Rockies,
• 47:35
  to
• 47:35
  get
• 47:36
  swept
• 47:36
  by
• 47:36
  the
• 47:36
  Dodgers,
• 47:37
  to
• 47:37
  get
• 47:37
  swept
• 47:37
  by
• 47:38
  the
• 47:38
  Cubs,
• 47:38
  to
• 47:38
  get
• 47:38
  swept
• 47:39
  by
• 47:40
  the
• 47:40
  Arizona
• 47:40
  2
• 47:41
  out
• 47:41
  of
• 47:41
  3
• 47:41
  by
• 47:41
  the
• 47:41
  Arizona
• 47:42
  Diamondbacks.
• 47:42
  I
• 47:42
  think
• 47:42
  before
• 47:43
  they
• 47:43
  left,
• 47:43
  they
• 47:43
  got
• 47:44
  swept
• 47:44
  by
• 47:44
  another
• 47:44
  team.
• 47:45
  Mike.
• 47:45
  It's
• 47:45
  sweep
• 47:46
  after
• 47:46
  sweep
• 47:46
  after
• 47:47
  sweep.
• 47:47
  When
• 47:47
  they
• 47:47
  go
• 47:48
  out
• 47:48
  there,
• 47:48
  even
• 47:48
  if
• 47:48
  they're
• 47:49
  up
• 47:49
  31
• 47:49
  in
• 47:49
  the
• 47:50
  4th,
• 47:50
  it's
• 47:50
  not
• 47:51
  going
• 47:51
  to
• 47:51
  happen.
• 47:51
  One
• 47:51
  of
• 47:52
  the
• 47:52
  things
• 47:52
  I
• 47:52
  couldn't
• 47:52
  find
• 47:52
  today
• 47:53
  is
• 47:53
  runs
• 47:54
  that
• 47:54
  they
• 47:54
  gave
• 47:54
  up
• 47:54
  in
• 47:54
  the
• 47:55
  sixth
• 47:55
  inning.
• 47:55
  It
• 47:56
  always
• 47:56
  seems
• 47:56
  like
• 47:56
  they're
• 47:57
  starting
• 47:57
  pitcher
• 47:57
  in
• 47:57
  the
• 47:58
  sixth
• 47:58
  inning,
• 47:58
  hits
• 47:58
  a
• 47:59
  wall
• 47:59
  and
• 47:59
  they
• 47:59
  give
• 47:59
  up
• 48:00
  way
• 48:00
  too
• 48:00
  many.
• 48:02
  It's
• 48:02
  almost
• 48:03
  hard
• 48:04
  to
• 48:04
  believe
• 48:05
  that
• 48:05
  it's
• 48:06
  April
• 48:06
  26th
• 48:07
  and
• 48:07
  there's
• 48:07
  literally
• 48:09
  no
• 48:09
  reason
• 48:10
  to
• 48:10
  even
• 48:10
  think
• 48:10
  about
• 48:11
  going
• 48:11
  to
• 48:11
  games.
• 48:12
  My
• 48:13
  know,
• 48:14
  hard
• 48:14
  it
• 48:14
  is
• 48:14
  to
• 48:14
  be
• 48:14
  10
• 48:15
  games
• 48:15
  under.500
• 48:16
  after
• 48:16
  28
• 48:16
  games.
• 48:17
  It's
• 48:18
  very
• 48:18
  difficult.
• 48:19
  It's
• 48:19
  very.
• 48:19
  That's
• 48:20
  what
• 48:20
  happens
• 48:20
  when
• 48:20
  you
• 48:20
  go
• 48:20
  on
• 48:21
  a
• 48:21
  12
• 48:21
  game
• 48:21
  losing
• 48:21
  streak.
• 48:22
  And
• 48:22
  Mike,
• 48:22
  they've
• 48:23
  lost
• 48:23
  15
• 48:23
  out
• 48:23
  of
• 48:23
  17
• 48:24
  now.
• 48:24
  There
• 48:25
  is
• 48:25
  no
• 48:25
  hope
• 48:25
  in
• 48:26
  sight.
• 48:26
  It's
• 48:27
  not
• 48:27
  like,
• 48:27
  oh,
• 48:27
  tomorrow
• 48:27
  Juan
• 48:28
  Soto
• 48:28
  is
• 48:28
  playing
• 48:28
  well,
• 48:29
  he's
• 48:29
  played
• 48:29
  for
• 48:29
  the
• 48:29
  last
• 48:30
  few
• 48:30
  days
• 48:30
  and
• 48:30
  that
• 48:31
  doesn't
• 48:31
  change
• 48:31
  anything.
• 48:31
  Oh
• 48:32
  well,
• 48:32
  Francisco
• 48:32
  Lindor's.
• 48:33
  We
• 48:34
  had
• 48:34
  one
• 48:34
  day
• 48:34
  of
• 48:34
  them
• 48:35
  playing
• 48:35
  together.
• 48:35
  The
• 48:35
  two
• 48:36
  of
• 48:36
  them
• 48:37
  forget
• 48:37
  identity.
• 48:38
  I
• 48:38
  mean,
• 48:38
  because
• 48:38
  if
• 48:39
  you're
• 48:39
  asking
• 48:39
  what,
• 48:39
  you
• 48:40
  know,
• 48:40
  what
• 48:41
  this
• 48:41
  team's
• 48:41
  identity
• 48:42
  is
• 48:42
  now,
• 48:42
  it's,
• 48:43
  it's
• 48:43
  just
• 48:43
  losing
• 48:44
  mentality.
• 48:45
  But
• 48:45
  what
• 48:45
  did,
• 48:46
  what
• 48:46
  did
• 48:46
  David
• 48:46
  Stearns
• 48:47
  think
• 48:47
  with
• 48:48
  all
• 48:48
  these
• 48:48
  wholesale
• 48:49
  changes
• 48:49
  that
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  team's
• 48:50
  identity
• 48:51
  was
• 48:51
  going
• 48:51
  to
• 48:51
  be
• 48:51
  and
• 48:52
  not
• 48:52
  A
• 48:52
  run
• 48:53
  preventing
• 48:53
  team.
• 48:54
  I
• 48:54
  mean,
• 48:54
  what,
• 48:55
  what
• 48:55
  did.
• 48:56
  Again,
• 48:56
  whether
• 48:56
  you
• 48:57
  like
• 48:57
  Pete
• 48:57
  Alonso,
• 48:57
  whether
• 48:58
  you
• 48:58
  like,
• 49:00
  you
• 49:01
  know,
• 49:01
  any.
• 49:01
  Anybody
• 49:02
  that
• 49:02
  was
• 49:03
  just
• 49:03
  McNeil,
• 49:03
  Jeff
• 49:04
  McNeil,
• 49:04
  Brandon
• 49:05
  Nimmo,
• 49:05
  who's
• 49:06
  killing
• 49:06
  it
• 49:07
  and
• 49:07
  you
• 49:07
  know,
• 49:08
  he's
• 49:08
  probably
• 49:08
  like,
• 49:09
  thank
• 49:09
  goodness
• 49:09
  I'm
• 49:10
  out.
• 49:10
  But
• 49:10
  you
• 49:11
  know,
• 49:11
  Pete's
• 49:12
  not
• 49:12
  off
• 49:12
  to
• 49:12
  a
• 49:12
  great
• 49:12
  start
• 49:13
  and
• 49:13
  McNeil
• 49:13
  is
• 49:14
  struggling.
• 49:14
  No,
• 49:14
  he's
• 49:14
  not.
• 49:14
  Yeah,
• 49:15
  but
• 49:15
  you
• 49:16
  know,
• 49:16
  Nimmo,
• 49:18
  if
• 49:18
  you
• 49:18
  get
• 49:18
  rid
• 49:18
  of
• 49:18
  that
• 49:19
  many
• 49:19
  core
• 49:19
  guys
• 49:20
  and
• 49:20
  bring
• 49:21
  in
• 49:21
  a
• 49:21
  guy
• 49:21
  that
• 49:22
  is
• 49:22
  supposed
• 49:22
  to
• 49:23
  play
• 49:23
  first
• 49:23
  base,
• 49:23
  who
• 49:24
  doesn't
• 49:24
  play
• 49:24
  first
• 49:24
  base.
• 49:25
  Correct.
• 49:25
  And
• 49:25
  then
• 49:26
  another
• 49:26
  guy
• 49:26
  who
• 49:26
  got
• 49:26
  hurt,
• 49:26
  right.
• 49:27
  Was
• 49:27
  supposed
• 49:27
  to
• 49:27
  play
• 49:27
  first
• 49:28
  base.
• 49:28
  And
• 49:30
  starting
• 49:30
  pitching
• 49:31
  sang
• 49:31
  is
• 49:31
  horrendous,
• 49:33
  which,
• 49:33
  you
• 49:33
  know,
• 49:33
  is
• 49:34
  unfortunate,
• 49:34
  but
• 49:35
  Peterson
• 49:35
  doesn't.
• 49:35
  Know
• 49:36
  his
• 49:36
  left
• 49:36
  from
• 49:36
  his
• 49:36
  right.
• 49:37
  He
• 49:37
  doesn't
• 49:37
  know
• 49:37
  anything.
• 49:39
  Maniah.
• 49:39
  He's.
• 49:40
  He's
• 49:40
  terrible.
• 49:41
  I
• 49:41
  mean,
• 49:41
  what.
• 49:42
  Everything
• 49:43
  that
• 49:43
  could
• 49:43
  go
• 49:43
  wrong
• 49:44
  has
• 49:44
  gone
• 49:44
  wrong.
• 49:44
  But
• 49:44
  what
• 49:45
  did
• 49:45
  they
• 49:45
  think
• 49:45
  was
• 49:45
  going
• 49:46
  to
• 49:46
  happen?
• 49:46
  I
• 49:47
  think
• 49:47
  they
• 49:47
  thought
• 49:47
  Boba
• 49:48
  Shet
• 49:48
  was
• 49:48
  going
• 49:49
  to
• 49:49
  be
• 49:49
  an
• 49:49
  R.
• 49:50
  ISP
• 49:50
  machine.
• 49:51
  Runners
• 49:51
  in
• 49:51
  scoring
• 49:52
  position.
• 49:52
  But
• 49:52
  they
• 49:52
  don't
• 49:53
  even
• 49:53
  have
• 49:53
  guys
• 49:53
  in
• 49:53
  runners
• 49:53
  in
• 49:54
  scoring
• 49:54
  position.
• 49:54
  He
• 49:54
  had
• 49:54
  a
• 49:54
  triple
• 49:55
  the
• 49:55
  other
• 49:55
  night,
• 49:55
  but
• 49:56
  otherwise
• 49:56
  he
• 49:56
  hasn't
• 49:56
  been
• 49:57
  doing
• 49:57
  it.
• 49:58
  Maybe
• 49:58
  they
• 49:58
  thought
• 49:58
  they
• 49:58
  were
• 49:59
  going
• 49:59
  to
• 49:59
  catch
• 49:59
  lightning
• 49:59
  in
• 49:59
  a
• 50:00
  bottle
• 50:00
  with,
• 50:00
  you
• 50:01
  know,
• 50:01
  a
• 50:01
  guy
• 50:01
  who
• 50:01
  was
• 50:01
  going
• 50:01
  to
• 50:01
  play
• 50:02
  first
• 50:02
  base,
• 50:02
  who
• 50:02
  had
• 50:02
  never
• 50:02
  played
• 50:03
  first
• 50:03
  base
• 50:03
  before.
• 50:04
  He's
• 50:05
  injured
• 50:05
  all
• 50:05
  the
• 50:05
  time.
• 50:07
  I
• 50:07
  think
• 50:08
  they
• 50:08
  were
• 50:08
  trying
• 50:08
  to
• 50:08
  give
• 50:08
  guys
• 50:09
  like
• 50:09
  Brett
• 50:09
  Beatty
• 50:10
  a
• 50:10
  chance.
• 50:10
  Now
• 50:10
  here's
• 50:11
  my
• 50:11
  thing.
• 50:11
  Neither
• 50:12
  one
• 50:12
  of
• 50:12
  them
• 50:12
  is
• 50:12
  good.
• 50:13
  Vientos
• 50:13
  or
• 50:14
  Beatty.
• 50:14
  Neither
• 50:14
  one
• 50:15
  of
• 50:15
  them
• 50:15
  is
• 50:15
  a
• 50:15
  good
• 50:15
  baseball
• 50:16
  player.
• 50:16
  And
• 50:16
  I
• 50:16
  mean
• 50:16
  baseball
• 50:17
  player,
• 50:17
  hitter,
• 50:18
  fielder,
• 50:19
  all
• 50:19
  of
• 50:19
  that
• 50:19
  stuff,
• 50:19
  they're
• 50:20
  just
• 50:20
  not
• 50:20
  good,
• 50:20
  Mike.
• 50:21
  And
• 50:21
  we're
• 50:22
  going
• 50:22
  to
• 50:22
  keep
• 50:22
  holding
• 50:22
  on
• 50:22
  to
• 50:23
  that
• 50:23
  thought.
• 50:23
  Carson
• 50:24
  Benj
• 50:24
  is
• 50:24
  a
• 50:24
  little
• 50:24
  young
• 50:25
  and
• 50:25
  I
• 50:25
  think
• 50:25
  if
• 50:26
  you
• 50:26
  let
• 50:26
  him
• 50:26
  play
• 50:26
  every
• 50:27
  day,
• 50:27
  he'll
• 50:27
  get
• 50:27
  over
• 50:27
  200.
• 50:28
  He'll
• 50:28
  get
• 50:28
  you
• 50:29
  some
• 50:29
  homers,
• 50:29
  he'll
• 50:29
  get
• 50:29
  you
• 50:30
  stolen
• 50:30
  bases.
• 50:30
  But
• 50:31
  he
• 50:31
  probably
• 50:31
  shouldn't
• 50:31
  be
• 50:32
  up
• 50:32
  in
• 50:32
  the
• 50:32
  major
• 50:32
  leagues
• 50:32
  at
• 50:33
  this
• 50:33
  point.
• 50:33
  No.
• 50:34
  If
• 50:35
  you
• 50:35
  let
• 50:35
  Ronnie
• 50:35
  Mauricio
• 50:36
  play
• 50:36
  every
• 50:36
  day,
• 50:36
  he'll
• 50:37
  give
• 50:37
  you
• 50:37
  a
• 50:37
  little
• 50:37
  bit
• 50:37
  more.
• 50:38
  But
• 50:38
  they
• 50:38
  didn't.
• 50:39
  Marcus
• 50:39
  Simeon
• 50:40
  is
• 50:40
  not
• 50:40
  an
• 50:41
  all
• 50:41
  star
• 50:41
  baseball
• 50:42
  player.
• 50:42
  You
• 50:42
  know,
• 50:43
  they
• 50:43
  brought
• 50:43
  him
• 50:43
  in
• 50:43
  only
• 50:44
  because.
• 50:44
  Well,
• 50:45
  a
• 50:45
  couple
• 50:45
  of
• 50:45
  reasons.
• 50:45
  You
• 50:46
  know,
• 50:46
  we
• 50:46
  can
• 50:46
  get
• 50:46
  into
• 50:46
  some
• 50:46
  of
• 50:46
  the
• 50:47
  politics
• 50:47
  of
• 50:47
  it,
• 50:47
  but
• 50:48
  they
• 50:48
  brought
• 50:48
  him
• 50:48
  in
• 50:48
  because
• 50:48
  he
• 50:49
  had
• 50:49
  one
• 50:49
  last
• 50:49
  year
• 50:49
  on
• 50:50
  his
• 50:50
  contract
• 50:50
  and
• 50:50
  they
• 50:50
  didn't
• 50:50
  want
• 50:51
  to
• 50:51
  be
• 50:51
  with
• 50:51
  Nimmos
• 50:52
  fourth
• 50:52
  or
• 50:53
  fifth
• 50:53
  more
• 50:53
  year
• 50:54
  where
• 50:54
  they
• 50:55
  can
• 50:55
  get
• 50:55
  rid
• 50:55
  of
• 50:55
  Simeon
• 50:56
  after
• 50:56
  three.
• 50:56
  Mike,
• 50:56
  he's
• 50:57
  not
• 50:57
  going
• 50:57
  to
• 50:57
  hit
• 50:57
  home
• 50:57
  runs.
• 50:58
  No,
• 50:58
  he's
• 50:58
  got
• 50:58
  Warning
• 50:59
  track
• 50:59
  power.
• 50:59
  He's
• 51:00
  a
• 51:01
  decent
• 51:01
  to
• 51:02
  above
• 51:02
  average
• 51:03
  second
• 51:03
  baseman.
• 51:04
  Right.
• 51:04
  But
• 51:04
  not
• 51:04
  as
• 51:05
  a
• 51:05
  hitter.
• 51:05
  He's
• 51:06
  not
• 51:06
  going
• 51:06
  to
• 51:06
  bat.230
• 51:07
  this
• 51:07
  year.
• 51:07
  And
• 51:08
  you
• 51:08
  would
• 51:08
  think
• 51:08
  of
• 51:08
  a
• 51:08
  guy
• 51:09
  in
• 51:10
  Simeon
• 51:10
  that
• 51:10
  has
• 51:10
  been
• 51:11
  in
• 51:11
  around
• 51:11
  the
• 51:11
  league
• 51:11
  so
• 51:12
  long
• 51:12
  and,
• 51:12
  you
• 51:12
  know,
• 51:13
  knows
• 51:13
  the
• 51:13
  game
• 51:14
  and
• 51:14
  he
• 51:15
  made
• 51:15
  a
• 51:15
  base
• 51:15
  running
• 51:16
  error
• 51:16
  the
• 51:16
  other
• 51:16
  night
• 51:16
  on.
• 51:17
  He
• 51:17
  tagged
• 51:18
  up
• 51:19
  and
• 51:20
  wasn't
• 51:20
  able
• 51:20
  to
• 51:20
  score
• 51:21
  on
• 51:22
  an
• 51:22
  obvious
• 51:22
  ball
• 51:23
  that
• 51:23
  hit
• 51:23
  the
• 51:23
  wall
• 51:23
  practically.
• 51:24
  Yeah.
• 51:24
  You
• 51:24
  know,
• 51:25
  I
• 51:25
  mean,
• 51:25
  he,
• 51:25
  he
• 51:26
  just
• 51:26
  misread
• 51:26
  it
• 51:27
  and
• 51:27
  you
• 51:28
  could
• 51:28
  see
• 51:28
  he
• 51:28
  was,
• 51:29
  he
• 51:29
  was
• 51:29
  embarrassed.
• 51:30
  Yeah.
• 51:30
  See,
• 51:31
  last
• 51:31
  year,
• 51:31
  Mike,
• 51:32
  I
• 51:32
  was
• 51:32
  pissed
• 51:32
  at
• 51:32
  the
• 51:32
  third
• 51:33
  base
• 51:33
  coach
• 51:33
  for
• 51:33
  not
• 51:34
  sending
• 51:34
  a
• 51:34
  guy
• 51:34
  in
• 51:34
  a
• 51:34
  September
• 51:35
  night.
• 51:35
  Right.
• 51:36
  That
• 51:36
  means
• 51:36
  nothing
• 51:37
  now.
• 51:37
  Right.
• 51:37
  You
• 51:37
  know,
• 51:38
  like,
• 51:38
  who
• 51:39
  cares
• 51:39
  if
• 51:39
  Mark
• 51:39
  Vientos
• 51:40
  runs
• 51:40
  through
• 51:40
  a
• 51:40
  stop
• 51:41
  sign?
• 51:41
  This
• 51:41
  team
• 51:41
  is
• 51:41
  still
• 51:42
  terrible.
• 51:42
  Somebody
• 51:43
  said,
• 51:43
  well,
• 51:43
  what
• 51:43
  if
• 51:44
  the
• 51:44
  Mets
• 51:44
  were
• 51:44
  to
• 51:44
  win
• 51:45
  today?
• 51:45
  They're
• 51:45
  still
• 51:46
  really
• 51:46
  bad.
• 51:47
  They
• 51:47
  just
• 51:47
  didn't
• 51:47
  get
• 51:48
  swept
• 51:48
  by
• 51:48
  the
• 51:48
  Rockies.
• 51:49
  If
• 51:49
  they
• 51:49
  win
• 51:49
  today.
• 51:49
  I
• 51:50
  mean,
• 51:50
  if
• 51:50
  they,
• 51:50
  if
• 51:50
  they
• 51:50
  win
• 51:50
  eight
• 51:51
  of
• 51:51
  the
• 51:51
  next
• 51:51
  10,
• 51:51
  they're
• 51:51
  still,
• 51:53
  they're
• 51:53
  nowhere
• 51:53
  near
• 51:53
  first
• 51:54
  place.
• 51:54
  So
• 51:54
  for
• 51:54
  one
• 51:55
  minute,
• 51:55
  let's
• 51:55
  just
• 51:55
  have
• 51:55
  this
• 51:56
  debate.
• 51:57
  The
• 51:57
  Mets
• 51:57
  lost
• 51:58
  12
• 51:58
  in
• 51:58
  a
• 51:58
  row,
• 51:58
  but
• 51:59
  when
• 51:59
  they
• 51:59
  were
• 51:59
  at
• 51:59
  like
• 51:59
  10,
• 52:00
  I
• 52:01
  was
• 52:01
  listening
• 52:01
  to
• 52:02
  some
• 52:02
  of
• 52:02
  the
• 52:02
  sports
• 52:02
  talk
• 52:02
  and
• 52:03
  also
• 52:03
  just
• 52:03
  having
• 52:03
  the
• 52:03
  water
• 52:04
  cooler
• 52:04
  chat.
• 52:05
  Yeah.
• 52:05
  Is
• 52:05
  it
• 52:06
  better
• 52:07
  for
• 52:07
  the
• 52:07
  Mets
• 52:07
  to
• 52:07
  continue
• 52:08
  to
• 52:08
  lose
• 52:09
  or
• 52:09
  to
• 52:09
  win
• 52:09
  one
• 52:10
  random
• 52:10
  game
• 52:10
  in
• 52:11
  there
• 52:11
  and
• 52:11
  then
• 52:11
  lose
• 52:12
  like
• 52:12
  another
• 52:12
  six
• 52:12
  more?
• 52:14
  And
• 52:14
  I'm
• 52:14
  just
• 52:14
  talking
• 52:14
  like
• 52:15
  PR
• 52:15
  wise.
• 52:16
  You
• 52:16
  work
• 52:16
  for
• 52:17
  the
• 52:17
  Mets.
• 52:17
  You're
• 52:18
  trying
• 52:18
  to
• 52:18
  get
• 52:18
  people
• 52:18
  to
• 52:18
  come
• 52:19
  out
• 52:19
  to
• 52:19
  that
• 52:19
  game
• 52:19
  that
• 52:20
  night.
• 52:20
  Yes.
• 52:20
  This
• 52:21
  could
• 52:21
  be
• 52:21
  the
• 52:21
  night
• 52:22
  that
• 52:22
  the
• 52:22
  Mets
• 52:22
  win
• 52:23
  and
• 52:23
  then
• 52:23
  it
• 52:23
  doesn't.
• 52:24
  This
• 52:24
  could
• 52:24
  be
• 52:25
  the
• 52:25
  night
• 52:26
  and
• 52:26
  we're
• 52:26
  at
• 52:26
  19
• 52:27
  or
• 52:27
  at
• 52:27
  26
• 52:28
  and
• 52:28
  you
• 52:28
  could
• 52:29
  be
• 52:29
  at
• 52:29
  the
• 52:29
  game
• 52:29
  where
• 52:29
  they
• 52:30
  set
• 52:30
  the
• 52:30
  record
• 52:30
  and
• 52:30
  lose
• 52:31
  29
• 52:31
  in
• 52:31
  a
• 52:31
  row.
• 52:32
  I
• 52:32
  think
• 52:32
  it
• 52:33
  would
• 52:33
  have
• 52:33
  been
• 52:33
  better
• 52:33
  for
• 52:34
  the
• 52:34
  Mets
• 52:34
  to
• 52:34
  just
• 52:34
  go
• 52:36
  totally,
• 52:36
  totally
• 52:37
  horrible
• 52:38
  in
• 52:38
  a
• 52:39
  historic
• 52:39
  way,
• 52:40
  as
• 52:40
  opposed
• 52:40
  to
• 52:41
  just
• 52:41
  15
• 52:41
  out
• 52:42
  of
• 52:42
  17,
• 52:43
  19
• 52:43
  out
• 52:44
  of
• 52:44
  23,
• 52:45
  lose
• 52:45
  24
• 52:46
  in
• 52:46
  a
• 52:46
  row,
• 52:47
  be
• 52:47
  the
• 52:47
  worst
• 52:47
  team
• 52:48
  in
• 52:48
  Major
• 52:48
  League
• 52:49
  baseball
• 52:49
  history
• 52:50
  consecutively.
• 52:51
  Okay,
• 52:51
  Just
• 52:52
  get
• 52:52
  it
• 52:52
  over
• 52:52
  with.
• 52:53
  All
• 52:53
  right?
• 52:53
  I
• 52:54
  disagree.
• 52:54
  Okay.
• 52:55
  And
• 52:55
  this
• 52:56
  is
• 52:56
  not
• 52:56
  made
• 52:56
  up.
• 52:57
  I
• 52:57
  disagree
• 52:58
  because
• 52:58
  I
• 52:58
  think
• 52:59
  the
• 52:59
  impact
• 52:59
  of
• 53:00
  that
• 53:00
  on
• 53:01
  the,
• 53:01
  on
• 53:01
  the
• 53:01
  long
• 53:01
  term
• 53:02
  would
• 53:02
  just
• 53:02
  be
• 53:02
  devastating
• 53:03
  for
• 53:03
  the
• 53:03
  entire
• 53:03
  season.
• 53:05
  I
• 53:05
  understand
• 53:05
  what
• 53:06
  you're
• 53:06
  saying.
• 53:06
  It
• 53:06
  does
• 53:07
  in
• 53:07
  a
• 53:07
  morbid
• 53:08
  kind
• 53:08
  of
• 53:09
  way.
• 53:09
  It
• 53:09
  generates
• 53:10
  some
• 53:10
  juice
• 53:10
  like,
• 53:10
  hey,
• 53:11
  tonight's
• 53:11
  tonight.
• 53:13
  I
• 53:13
  just
• 53:13
  think
• 53:13
  that
• 53:14
  it's
• 53:14
  from
• 53:14
  a,
• 53:14
  from
• 53:15
  a
• 53:15
  PR
• 53:15
  stand,
• 53:16
  PR
• 53:16
  standpoint.
• 53:17
  It's
• 53:17
  just,
• 53:18
  it's
• 53:18
  just,
• 53:18
  you
• 53:19
  know,
• 53:19
  a
• 53:19
  debacle.
• 53:20
  It
• 53:20
  would,
• 53:20
  it
• 53:20
  would
• 53:21
  be
• 53:21
  horrible.
• 53:21
  But
• 53:22
  if
• 53:22
  you're
• 53:22
  going
• 53:22
  to
• 53:22
  lose.
• 53:23
  I
• 53:23
  mean,
• 53:23
  I
• 53:23
  understand
• 53:23
  what
• 53:23
  you're
• 53:24
  saying.
• 53:24
  You
• 53:24
  might
• 53:24
  as
• 53:24
  well
• 53:24
  do
• 53:24
  it
• 53:24
  in
• 53:25
  an
• 53:25
  interesting
• 53:25
  fashion,
• 53:26
  because
• 53:26
  there's
• 53:27
  nothing
• 53:27
  interesting
• 53:27
  about,
• 53:28
  you
• 53:28
  know,
• 53:28
  going
• 53:28
  18
• 53:29
  innings
• 53:29
  against
• 53:29
  the
• 53:30
  Colorado
• 53:30
  Rockies,
• 53:31
  scoring
• 53:31
  one
• 53:31
  run
• 53:32
  and
• 53:32
  making
• 53:34
  their
• 53:34
  pitching
• 53:34
  staff
• 53:35
  look
• 53:35
  like
• 53:35
  the
• 53:35
  second
• 53:36
  coming
• 53:37
  of,
• 53:38
  you
• 53:38
  know,
• 53:38
  the
• 53:38
  orioles
• 53:39
  in
• 53:39
  the
• 53:39
  70s.
• 53:39
  For
• 53:40
  those
• 53:40
  of
• 53:40
  you
• 53:40
  that
• 53:40
  are
• 53:40
  looking
• 53:41
  for
• 53:41
  a
• 53:41
  cold
• 53:41
  night
• 53:42
  to
• 53:42
  go
• 53:42
  watch
• 53:42
  a
• 53:42
  game
• 53:42
  Tuesday
• 53:43
  night,
• 53:43
  the
• 53:43
  Mets
• 53:43
  are
• 53:43
  going
• 53:44
  to
• 53:44
  play
• 53:44
  the
• 53:45
  up
• 53:45
  and
• 53:45
  coming
• 53:45
  Washington
• 53:46
  Nationals.
• 53:47
  And
• 53:48
  we
• 53:48
  have
• 53:48
  a
• 53:49
  video
• 53:50
  tribute
• 53:50
  coming
• 53:50
  up.
• 53:50
  You
• 53:51
  know,
• 53:51
  that
• 53:51
  video
• 53:51
  tribute
• 53:51
  is
• 53:51
  going
• 53:52
  to
• 53:52
  be
• 53:52
  for
• 53:53
  Dickie
• 53:53
  Lovelady
• 53:54
  is
• 53:54
  now
• 53:54
  a
• 53:54
  Washington
• 53:55
  National.
• 53:56
  I
• 53:56
  think
• 53:56
  he
• 53:56
  deserves
• 53:57
  a
• 53:57
  tribute.
• 53:57
  I
• 53:58
  mean,
• 53:58
  think
• 53:58
  about
• 53:58
  what
• 53:59
  the
• 53:59
  Mets
• 53:59
  are
• 53:59
  throwing
• 53:59
  out
• 54:00
  there
• 54:00
  at
• 54:00
  you,
• 54:01
  you
• 54:01
  know.
• 54:01
  Yeah.
• 54:02
  Like
• 54:02
  we
• 54:02
  have
• 54:02
  Carl
• 54:03
  Edwards
• 54:03
  Jr.
• 54:04
  Yeah.
• 54:05
  You
• 54:05
  know,
• 54:05
  isn't
• 54:06
  that
• 54:06
  a
• 54:06
  place
• 54:06
  where
• 54:06
  you
• 54:06
  get.
• 54:07
  That's
• 54:07
  really.
• 54:08
  Yeah,
• 54:08
  yeah.
• 54:09
  And
• 54:09
  he
• 54:09
  actually
• 54:09
  looked
• 54:10
  decent.
• 54:10
  Of
• 54:10
  course,
• 54:11
  Austin
• 54:11
  Warren
• 54:11
  the
• 54:12
  other
• 54:12
  night's
• 54:12
  getting
• 54:12
  MVP
• 54:13
  chance
• 54:14
  because
• 54:14
  Devin
• 54:15
  Williams
• 54:15
  can't
• 54:15
  get
• 54:16
  anybody
• 54:16
  out.
• 54:16
  And
• 54:16
  after
• 54:17
  the
• 54:17
  game,
• 54:17
  he
• 54:17
  talks
• 54:17
  like
• 54:18
  he
• 54:18
  doesn't
• 54:18
  care.
• 54:18
  He
• 54:19
  doesn't
• 54:19
  care.
• 54:19
  All
• 54:19
  right,
• 54:20
  so
• 54:20
  in
• 54:20
  the
• 54:20
  remaining
• 54:21
  couple
• 54:21
  minutes,
• 54:21
  we
• 54:21
  have,
• 54:21
  I,
• 54:22
  you
• 54:22
  know,
• 54:22
  obviously
• 54:23
  you
• 54:23
  have
• 54:23
  to
• 54:23
  address
• 54:23
  the
• 54:23
  manager.
• 54:24
  Now
• 54:25
  you
• 54:25
  can.
• 54:25
  I
• 54:26
  want
• 54:26
  to
• 54:26
  come
• 54:26
  at
• 54:26
  it
• 54:26
  from.
• 54:26
  What
• 54:27
  does
• 54:27
  it
• 54:27
  take
• 54:27
  to
• 54:27
  get
• 54:27
  rid
• 54:27
  of
• 54:28
  him?
• 54:28
  I
• 54:28
  just,
• 54:28
  I
• 54:29
  want
• 54:29
  to
• 54:29
  come
• 54:29
  at
• 54:29
  it
• 54:29
  from,
• 54:30
  from
• 54:30
  one
• 54:30
  standpoint
• 54:31
  that
• 54:31
  I'm
• 54:31
  interested
• 54:32
  to
• 54:32
  hear
• 54:32
  what
• 54:32
  you
• 54:32
  have
• 54:33
  to
• 54:33
  say.
• 54:33
  So
• 54:33
  the
• 54:33
  other
• 54:34
  night
• 54:34
  when
• 54:34
  they
• 54:35
  did
• 54:35
  finally,
• 54:36
  you
• 54:36
  know,
• 54:37
  win
• 54:37
  a
• 54:37
  game,
• 54:39
  Browser
• 54:39
  Band
• 54:40
  pitches
• 54:40
  the
• 54:41
  eighth.
• 54:42
  Okay.
• 54:43
  And
• 54:44
  comes
• 54:44
  out
• 54:45
  for
• 54:45
  the
• 54:45
  ninth
• 54:45
  while
• 54:46
  Devin
• 54:46
  Williams
• 54:47
  is
• 54:47
  running
• 54:47
  in
• 54:47
  with.
• 54:48
  With
• 54:48
  it.
• 54:49
  And
• 54:49
  he
• 54:49
  steps
• 54:49
  over
• 54:50
  the
• 54:50
  line
• 54:50
  so
• 54:50
  he
• 54:50
  has
• 54:51
  to
• 54:51
  pitch
• 54:51
  to
• 54:51
  a
• 54:51
  batter.
• 54:52
  Yeah.
• 54:53
  Who
• 54:53
  are
• 54:53
  we
• 54:54
  blaming
• 54:54
  on
• 54:54
  that?
• 54:55
  In
• 54:55
  Little
• 54:56
  League,
• 54:56
  you
• 54:56
  tell
• 54:56
  guys,
• 54:57
  you.
• 54:57
  Know,
• 54:57
  suppose
• 54:58
  you
• 54:58
  heard
• 54:58
  the
• 54:58
  story,
• 54:59
  right?
• 54:59
  I
• 54:59
  didn't.
• 54:59
  He
• 55:00
  supposedly
• 55:00
  told
• 55:00
  Brazaban,
• 55:02
  if
• 55:02
  we're
• 55:02
  tied,
• 55:02
  you're
• 55:03
  going
• 55:03
  out
• 55:03
  there.
• 55:03
  If
• 55:03
  we
• 55:04
  take
• 55:04
  the
• 55:04
  lead,
• 55:04
  Devin
• 55:04
  Williams
• 55:05
  is
• 55:05
  going
• 55:05
  out
• 55:05
  there.
• 55:05
  Okay,
• 55:06
  but
• 55:06
  all
• 55:06
  he
• 55:06
  heard
• 55:06
  was
• 55:07
  the
• 55:07
  first
• 55:07
  part,
• 55:07
  that
• 55:08
  you're
• 55:08
  going
• 55:08
  out
• 55:08
  there.
• 55:09
  You
• 55:09
  know,
• 55:09
  he
• 55:10
  goes,
• 55:10
  but
• 55:10
  I
• 55:10
  speak
• 55:10
  Spanish.
• 55:11
  I
• 55:11
  should
• 55:11
  have
• 55:11
  gone
• 55:11
  to
• 55:12
  him.
• 55:12
  This
• 55:12
  is
• 55:12
  Mendoza.
• 55:13
  I
• 55:13
  speak
• 55:13
  Spanish.
• 55:14
  I
• 55:14
  should
• 55:14
  have
• 55:14
  gone
• 55:14
  to
• 55:15
  him
• 55:15
  and
• 55:15
  told
• 55:15
  him
• 55:15
  exactly
• 55:16
  the
• 55:16
  situation.
• 55:17
  Then
• 55:17
  after
• 55:18
  the
• 55:18
  game,
• 55:18
  he's
• 55:18
  talking
• 55:18
  through
• 55:19
  the,
• 55:19
  the
• 55:19
  translator,
• 55:20
  Alan
• 55:20
  Serial,
• 55:20
  and
• 55:21
  he's,
• 55:21
  he's
• 55:21
  laughing
• 55:21
  about.
• 55:22
  He
• 55:22
  goes,
• 55:22
  well,
• 55:22
  when
• 55:22
  did
• 55:23
  you
• 55:23
  figure
• 55:23
  out
• 55:23
  that
• 55:23
  you
• 55:23
  weren't
• 55:23
  supposed
• 55:24
  to
• 55:24
  be
• 55:24
  out
• 55:24
  there?
• 55:24
  He
• 55:24
  goes,
• 55:25
  when
• 55:25
  I
• 55:25
  go
• 55:25
  on
• 55:25
  the
• 55:25
  mound
• 55:26
  and
• 55:26
  I
• 55:26
  hear
• 55:26
  this
• 55:26
  music,
• 55:29
  but
• 55:29
  they
• 55:29
  can't
• 55:29
  even
• 55:29
  get
• 55:30
  that
• 55:30
  right
• 55:30
  then.
• 55:30
  It's
• 55:31
  so
• 55:31
  embarrassing.
• 55:31
  But
• 55:32
  Mike,
• 55:32
  it's
• 55:32
  even
• 55:32
  worse.
• 55:32
  He
• 55:33
  gets
• 55:33
  the
• 55:33
  first
• 55:33
  guy
• 55:34
  out
• 55:34
  now
• 55:34
  it's
• 55:34
  no
• 55:34
  longer
• 55:35
  a
• 55:35
  Safe
• 55:35
  situation.
• 55:36
  Yeah.
• 55:36
  Why
• 55:36
  not
• 55:37
  keep
• 55:37
  him
• 55:37
  in
• 55:37
  the
• 55:37
  game
• 55:38
  until
• 55:38
  a
• 55:39
  guy
• 55:39
  gets
• 55:39
  on
• 55:39
  base?
• 55:39
  Because
• 55:40
  then
• 55:40
  the
• 55:40
  time
• 55:40
  run
• 55:41
  would
• 55:41
  have
• 55:41
  been
• 55:41
  in
• 55:41
  the
• 55:41
  on
• 55:41
  deck
• 55:41
  circle.
• 55:42
  It
• 55:42
  would
• 55:42
  have
• 55:42
  been
• 55:42
  a
• 55:42
  safe
• 55:42
  situation.
• 55:43
  So
• 55:43
  now
• 55:44
  Devin
• 55:44
  Williams
• 55:44
  has
• 55:45
  second
• 55:45
  and
• 55:45
  third,
• 55:46
  the
• 55:46
  tying
• 55:46
  runs
• 55:46
  at
• 55:46
  second.
• 55:47
  We're
• 55:47
  about
• 55:47
  to
• 55:47
  blow
• 55:47
  this
• 55:48
  game.
• 55:48
  You
• 55:48
  could
• 55:48
  see
• 55:49
  him,
• 55:49
  Williams,
• 55:50
  as
• 55:50
  he
• 55:50
  turned
• 55:50
  around
• 55:50
  to
• 55:51
  go
• 55:51
  back
• 55:51
  into
• 55:51
  the
• 55:51
  bullpen,
• 55:52
  he's
• 55:52
  like,
• 55:52
  what
• 55:52
  am
• 55:52
  I
• 55:53
  got
• 55:53
  myself?
• 55:53
  His
• 55:53
  body
• 55:54
  language
• 55:54
  was
• 55:54
  like,
• 55:55
  are
• 55:55
  you
• 55:55
  kidding
• 55:55
  me?
• 55:56
  Yeah.
• 55:56
  I
• 55:56
  mean
• 55:56
  it's
• 55:57
  just
• 55:57
  they
• 55:58
  can't
• 55:58
  even
• 55:58
  get
• 55:58
  pitching
• 55:59
  changes
• 55:59
  right.
• 56:00
  All
• 56:00
  right,
• 56:00
  so
• 56:00
  we
• 56:00
  have
• 56:01
  a
• 56:01
  day
• 56:01
  off
• 56:01
  tomorrow.
• 56:02
  Who's
• 56:02
  managing
• 56:02
  the
• 56:03
  team
• 56:03
  on
• 56:03
  Tuesday?
• 56:04
  My
• 56:04
  answer
• 56:05
  is
• 56:06
  Andy
• 56:06
  Green.
• 56:07
  Okay.
• 56:07
  Andy
• 56:08
  Green
• 56:08
  is
• 56:08
  a,
• 56:08
  is
• 56:08
  a
• 56:09
  bullpen,
• 56:10
  sorry
• 56:10
  like
• 56:11
  a
• 56:11
  minor
• 56:11
  league
• 56:11
  roving
• 56:12
  instructor
• 56:12
  basically
• 56:13
  for
• 56:13
  the
• 56:13
  Mets.
• 56:13
  He
• 56:13
  has
• 56:13
  co
• 56:14
  managed
• 56:14
  the,
• 56:14
  the
• 56:15
  Diamondbacks
• 56:15
  at
• 56:15
  some
• 56:15
  point.
• 56:16
  Okay.
• 56:16
  People
• 56:16
  talk
• 56:17
  about,
• 56:17
  you
• 56:17
  know,
• 56:17
  the
• 56:17
  guy
• 56:18
  Kai
• 56:18
  Curry.
• 56:19
  I
• 56:19
  think
• 56:19
  he
• 56:19
  needs
• 56:19
  time
• 56:20
  to
• 56:20
  be
• 56:20
  the,
• 56:22
  to
• 56:22
  be
• 56:22
  the
• 56:22
  bench
• 56:23
  coach.
• 56:23
  You
• 56:23
  know,
• 56:23
  he
• 56:23
  hasn't
• 56:23
  been
• 56:24
  a
• 56:24
  manager
• 56:24
  yet.
• 56:25
  People
• 56:25
  say,
• 56:25
  Carlos
• 56:26
  Beltran,
• 56:26
  how
• 56:26
  can
• 56:27
  you
• 56:27
  retire
• 56:27
  a
• 56:27
  guy's
• 56:28
  number
• 56:28
  when
• 56:28
  the
• 56:28
  team
• 56:29
  is
• 56:29
  40
• 56:29
  games
• 56:30
  under.500?
• 56:30
  They're
• 56:31
  going
• 56:31
  to
• 56:31
  boo
• 56:31
  him
• 56:31
  when
• 56:32
  they're
• 56:32
  retiring
• 56:32
  his
• 56:32
  number.
• 56:33
  So
• 56:33
  it
• 56:33
  cannot
• 56:33
  be
• 56:34
  Carlos
• 56:34
  Beltran.
• 56:34
  At
• 56:35
  least
• 56:35
  not
• 56:35
  this
• 56:35
  year.
• 56:35
  No,
• 56:36
  but
• 56:36
  I
• 56:36
  honestly,
• 56:37
  Mike,
• 56:39
  how
• 56:39
  can
• 56:39
  you
• 56:40
  put
• 56:40
  Carlos
• 56:40
  Mendoza
• 56:41
  in
• 56:41
  that
• 56:41
  dugout
• 56:42
  again?
• 56:42
  You
• 56:42
  can't.
• 56:43
  Yeah,
• 56:43
  I
• 56:43
  don't
• 56:43
  think
• 56:43
  you
• 56:44
  can.
• 56:44
  Whether,
• 56:44
  whether
• 56:45
  anyone
• 56:45
  believes
• 56:45
  it's
• 56:46
  his
• 56:46
  fault
• 56:46
  or
• 56:46
  not,
• 56:48
  there's
• 56:49
  just,
• 56:50
  you
• 56:51
  know,
• 56:51
  and
• 56:51
  I'm
• 56:51
  not,
• 56:52
  I'm
• 56:52
  not
• 56:52
  for
• 56:53
  change,
• 56:53
  for,
• 56:53
  for
• 56:53
  change
• 56:54
  sake.
• 56:54
  It's
• 56:54
  been
• 56:55
  too
• 56:55
  long.
• 56:55
  But
• 56:55
  yeah,
• 56:55
  he
• 56:55
  should
• 56:56
  have
• 56:56
  been
• 56:56
  out
• 56:56
  at
• 56:56
  the
• 56:56
  end
• 56:56
  of
• 56:56
  last
• 56:56
  year.
• 56:58
  Because
• 56:58
  Mike,
• 56:58
  think
• 56:58
  about
• 56:58
  it
• 56:59
  this
• 56:59
  way.
• 56:59
  I
• 56:59
  know
• 56:59
  we're
• 56:59
  going
• 56:59
  to
• 56:59
  end
• 56:59
  this,.
• 57:00
  Take
• 57:00
  all
• 57:00
  his
• 57:00
  coaches
• 57:01
  away
• 57:01
  and
• 57:01
  then
• 57:01
  put
• 57:01
  him
• 57:01
  back.
• 57:02
  Yes,
• 57:02
  you
• 57:02
  took
• 57:02
  all
• 57:02
  his
• 57:03
  coaches
• 57:03
  away,
• 57:03
  but
• 57:05
  it
• 57:05
  is
• 57:05
  the
• 57:06
  same
• 57:06
  story
• 57:06
  as
• 57:07
  last
• 57:07
  year.
• 57:07
  People
• 57:08
  like,
• 57:08
  oh,
• 57:08
  it's
• 57:08
  not
• 57:08
  this,
• 57:09
  it's
• 57:09
  the
• 57:09
  same
• 57:09
  story
• 57:10
  every
• 57:11
  time.
• 57:11
  You
• 57:11
  think
• 57:11
  they're
• 57:11
  going
• 57:11
  to
• 57:12
  come
• 57:12
  out
• 57:12
  of
• 57:12
  it?
• 57:12
  They're
• 57:12
  not.
• 57:13
  I
• 57:13
  think
• 57:13
  in
• 57:13
  about,
• 57:14
  in
• 57:14
  the
• 57:14
  last
• 57:15
  100
• 57:15
  and
• 57:15
  close
• 57:16
  to
• 57:16
  the
• 57:16
  last
• 57:16
  162
• 57:17
  games,
• 57:18
  the
• 57:18
  Mets
• 57:18
  are
• 57:18
  about
• 57:18
  62
• 57:19
  and
• 57:19
  100.
• 57:20
  If
• 57:20
  you
• 57:20
  go
• 57:20
  back
• 57:21
  to
• 57:21
  last
• 57:21
  year,
• 57:21
  that's.
• 57:22
  They
• 57:22
  are
• 57:22
  really,
• 57:23
  really
• 57:23
  bad.
• 57:24
  Yeah.
• 57:24
  And
• 57:25
  you
• 57:25
  know,
• 57:25
  you
• 57:25
  just
• 57:25
  got
• 57:25
  to
• 57:26
  blow
• 57:26
  it
• 57:26
  up
• 57:26
  and
• 57:26
  just
• 57:26
  say,
• 57:27
  hey,
• 57:27
  at
• 57:27
  this
• 57:27
  point
• 57:28
  guys
• 57:28
  are
• 57:28
  going
• 57:29
  to
• 57:29
  have
• 57:29
  to
• 57:29
  go.
• 57:29
  You
• 57:30
  know
• 57:30
  how
• 57:30
  like
• 57:30
  they
• 57:31
  brought
• 57:31
  in
• 57:31
  Robertson
• 57:31
  Canoe
• 57:32
  at
• 57:32
  one
• 57:32
  point
• 57:32
  and
• 57:32
  then
• 57:32
  they,
• 57:33
  they
• 57:33
  finally
• 57:33
  said
• 57:34
  it's
• 57:34
  time
• 57:34
  to
• 57:34
  go.
• 57:34
  You
• 57:35
  may
• 57:35
  have
• 57:35
  to
• 57:35
  do
• 57:35
  that

  Yeah.

  It's
• 57:37
  certainly,
• 57:39
  unfortunately,
• 57:39
  who
• 57:39
  thought
• 57:40
  that

  we

  would
• 57:40
  be
• 57:40
  talking
• 57:40
  like

  this
• 57:41
  and
• 57:41
  it's
• 57:41
  not
• 57:41
  even
• 57:42
  May
• 57:42
  yet.
• 57:42
  But
• 57:43
  I
• 57:43
  agree
• 57:43
  with
• 57:44
  you.
• 57:44
  I
• 57:44
  don't
• 57:44
  think
• 57:45
  there's
• 57:45
  anything
• 57:46
  other
• 57:46
  right
• 57:46

  keep,

  you
• 57:52
  don't.

  And

  you
• 57:54
  know,
• 57:55
  I'm
• 57:56
  hoping.
