  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. I just want it on
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: record before I get into the day of today that
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for the first time since this podcast started as a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: radio show at Queen's College, which was two thousand and nine,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I can say the Yankees have beaten the Red Sox
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in the postseason. I didn't get to do that in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen or twenty twenty one, and there weren't many
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: other times at the Queen's College era. But today on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Onely Up Alex Sports, I can say it that the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yankees beat the Red Sox. Was it personal? Hell? Yet,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it's personal, and you can read about it at my
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: blog One Look Up Alex how I thought I was
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: responsible for losing the World Series and the aos as
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in two thousand four because I didn't turn off my TV. Hell, yes,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it's personal, because I went on Regis philp in the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: last time the Yankees won against the Red Sox in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the postseason. After boons Homer and I get to tell
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the tale of twenty twenty five and say I've survived
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and lived twenty two years more to see the day.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: This is a generational moment for Little Alex and Big Alex,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and I just want to say someone that did not
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: get his flowers yet. Beyond the incredible start of Cam Slitler,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the record breaking start of Kam Slitler, the rookie who
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: just started Opening Day for summrset earlier this season was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: arguably the call of the year. But come on, where
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: are the flowers for Ahmed Rosario, the most unlikely guy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: No offense on it, but it was unlikely for him
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to come up in that situation and do a basic
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: inter left field to start the scoring of that forerun inning.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Where are his flowers today? Because he deserves a hell
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of a lot of credit for battling it out in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that a bet and then forgetting that single through the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hole on the left side. This next series has me nervous,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But I think last night there was a hope for
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the years to come. I mean, can you imagine Cole
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Schlittler rot Don Freed, not in that order, but that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: rotation alone. Heal, it's gonna be a start starting rotation
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. However, there is this feeling of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: unfinished business here in the postseason. Now that we got
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: overcame Boston for the first time in twenty two years.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: There's unfinished business. And we're gonna cover that unfinished business
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: here on one leg a Ballex Sports with insights, with friends,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: with fans, and maybe even some journalists along the way.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: As now, the Yankees have had karmic relief. Love you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: An Shelley, miss you, love my Dad. This is the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: first time since in twenty two years when my dad
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was here when we went to re He's just been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: filled with my mom and twenty two years ago. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: know he's not here to see it physically, but I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: feel like he's up in the heavens watching down on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: all of this, including the Cobs winning their first postseason
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: series in quite a while, in first one since my
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: dad passed. So there's a lot of emotions for me,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and I want to put it out there because I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm wearing on my sleeve off the air,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but on the air, I'm fired up. And I can say,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for the first time since my exis inception of this
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: podcast when it was the Sports Hour, the Yankees have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: beaten the Red Sox. The rivalry fields renewed now and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I want to face them on a hell of a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: lot more in the postseason and beat them again. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it also leaves us wondering what's next, because like Boston
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: went Toronto, we didn't have their number either all year.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: In fact, there were five crucial losses against the Blue
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Jays that I could say cost us the division. Yet
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: here we are hating the divisional round against Toronto to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: exact that revenge next, Can we do it? I'm a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: little nervous, but I think we're riding high, and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think the fact that we play Saturday and the momentum
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is carrying us gives me hope that we can have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: one leg up in this postseason, even further than a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: historic snapping of a twenty two year drought against the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Red Sox and a historic rookie performance twelve strikeouts, breaking
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the rookie record for postseason strikeouts. He is the slit
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and he has been the slit. And if you look
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: at his totals from his regular season in postseason, ninety
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: two strikeouts, ninety two strikeouts, first rookie year, and he
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: even come up to begin the season. That's what makes
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: us more special. And now I think the rosters getting
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit in this festive five, three out of five,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: so we'll see who they call up. But I think
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: one thing that Boone learned the series. Trust your pictures
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like you did with Roddan and and Cam last night,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Cam went eight, Rodin going six or seven. And also
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: trust that lineup against lefty or alrighty. That Tran Grisham
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: lead lineup is the lineup to go with. I don't
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: care who's on the mound for the uh, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: for the opponent righty versus lefty. I don't care about that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Just get us w's. Just put Ben Rice in there,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: just put Jazz chishm in there. Let fing go. It's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: hard to celebrate entirely this wild card round because it's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: only the wild Card series, but it's sentimental. It means
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a lot. I've taken it personally, and I can feel
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: like that twelve year old that was to watch the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Red Sox O four and forced to watch the laboratories
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: his fly ball left fall short in twenty eighteen. Healed today,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and I think the Yanks can go about their business
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: as they've just had karmic relief. And it's only the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: beginning of October. Let's extend this a little further into October. Kevin,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Let's have one leg up on this postseason for the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yankees twenty five roster, who I've said since May looks
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: like two thousand and nine. I have felt it. They're gutty,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they're gutsy there they've had their tough times too, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: they've overcome that. And now they can head into Toronto
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with some momentum and maybe I'll take a split in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Toronto and two here. However, it's gotta get done. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: feel it. And if we can overcome Toronto, whoh, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: possibilities become even more endless, don't they. So come on, Yanks,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: come on, boone, trust your gut, trust your instinct. Let's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: do this. Let's get one leg up even more in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: post season twenty twenty five h
