  Speaker 1: Say yes to summer with twohey and secure your holiday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: today with deals for families and adults flying from your
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: local airport. Holiday sorted Twoey Deesu Sea Supply.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: While the entire stadium standing, Jeter singled cleanly between third
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and short his first time, so he is one hit away.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: He is at two thousand, nine ninety nine as he
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: stands in and there's the chant which you can hear
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in the background. Derek Jeter air comes a three to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: two from Price swung on at hit of the.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Air to deep what hot bows high hit us far
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: hit all gone. He's homerd Derek Jeter homers to tie
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: And there it is hit number three thousand. Derek Jeter
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: has achieved another milestone in his Hall of Fame career.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Fifteen playoff appearances, twelve All Star Games, five World Championship,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: and now the first Yankee to amass three thousand hits.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: The Captain dear jitter.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: If you were looking for drama, if you were looking
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: for the moment, if you were looking for entertainment.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: That's what he gave you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: And I think there were people who were critics, severe critics,
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: and there were people who loved it. And I'll tell
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: you this, As the years went by, I think the
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: fans really grew to love the home run calls. Yankees
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: hit a million home runs every year. They love the
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: entertainment value of it, and they started to appreciate that
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: and not worry too much about the descriptive analysis of
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: of a certain play.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: The other thing that was funny about studying with my
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: old partner here about the passing of John Stunning, legendary
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: Yankee broadcaster.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: As Mike said, never missed a game in his life.
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: He wouldn't want to damn miss a game in case
• 1:50
  Speaker 8: he got replaced by somebody that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: He didn't want somebody else to do a game he
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: definitely did.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Why anybody else worcket but him.
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: But the one thing about him, he used to whine
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: a lot when the Yankees were playing well, and you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: and you never could argue with him because he had
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: the guts to act. The Yankee got a little Harry
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: carrying him because if he didn't like what the Yankees
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: are doing, he wouldn't be afraid to tell you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Gotta give him credit for that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: You heard John Sterling's classic three thousand Derek Jeter hit
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: call and then that legendary combination Mike and the mad Dog.
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: They're both doing great today, Chris Patter. No, Mike has
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: a podcast, but Chris is still doing tremendous work mad
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: Dog Unleashed every weekday afternoon on Sirious Exam. And he's
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: got this kid with Steve and a Who's on this
• 2:29
  Speaker 9: show quite a bit these days. Even he loves it
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: here talks more politics than sports.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: But Russo and Smith do a whole bunch of work
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: together at ESPN. My favorite of all time. I do
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: mean that, the great Christopher mad Dog Russo. Chris, Good morning, pal,
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: how are you good?
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: Good morning Sidney.
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: How you doing today? Things good?
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: Things have never been better. Things are great, and I
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: know you're doing very well too. So listen, I'm gonna
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: say this, like I said a couple of days ago,
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: he was not technically as good as Vince Scully what
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: some of the other great baseball announcements you mentioned, Harry
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: carry But I think people lose sight of the fact
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: Chris because he gets so caught up in wins and
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: losses and the billions of dollars that go to these
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: players to win, that all baseball is at the end
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: of the day, Chris Russeau, all baseball is is another
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: form of entertainment.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: That's what it is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: And this guy Sterling, like him or not, you gotta
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: admit he was entertaining.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: So for me, he goes down as one of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: all time greats.
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: It makes you laugh. I mean, the Yankee win, the
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: monikers for the Yankee players, those home run calls and
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: a bomb for a Rod, I mean, it makes you laugh.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: And I don't even like the Yankees, never have, as
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: you know. And I got a kick out of him
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: to burn baby Burn. I mean, he was so enthusiastic.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: And when I met with the Harry Carey comparison is
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: that Carrie was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: A character as well as Sterling was.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: But at the Cubs or the White Sox or whatever,
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: the A's, whoever, the Cardinals, whoever team that he did,
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: if that team was bad, and he would not be
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: afraid to call him out and stunning was the same
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: way with the with the Yankees when they were not
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: playing well, long bad dutches, he'd have no plublem saying
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: what he said and and knocking him. And that's amazing
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: we could think about it is that he called every
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: game of Derek Putor's career. I was thinking about that yesterday.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: He called every inning, every in fat every game that
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Derek Peter ever played for the Yankees. I mean that
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: is pretty amazing when you think about it. And whatever,
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: he had five thousand and some odd consecutive games in
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: a row. So durability has got something to do with
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: it too. Now, I don't think John wanted anybody else
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: to do the right for himself, So I think a
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: lot of it has to do with the idea that
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: John's ego wanted to be part of the Yankees didn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: want to share it, so they got to be fair.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: But still, that's longevity and durability does mean something. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: you know he's even doing the games two years ago
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: for playing out loud. You know when the Yankees got
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: the World Series that he called it home run with
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: Freeman in the ninth in the tenth inning when the
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: Yankees lost Game one by the Dodgers. So just they
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: know he's a character at bottom line, is a quirky character.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: I feely. I knew him fairly well, socialized with him occasionally,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: and I think Dan Deepe was he was he was,
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: He was a good. He was a good person. He
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: was a kind guy. He meant well. Uh, and you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: he's part of these great Yankee teams. I think Joe
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: Torrey met a lot to them because Joe came in
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: and he knew Joe from Atlanta, and I think that helped.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: But he was really just a very synonymous with the
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: Yankee brand there in the nineteen nineties, in the two thousands.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: That is what it comes down to, no bottom line.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: And look, I like Dave Simms.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: He's a dear friend of ours and former wa and
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: colleague teammate of ours, and he's great, does a great
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: job with basketball and baseball, spent many years with the Mariners.
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: But he now is not doing it for me. Like
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: the it is high, it as far it is gone.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: So you look at the litany of all these amazing
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: Yankee announcers, go all the way back to Mel Allen,
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: Phil Rizzuto, all these all time Yankee greats. And I
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: hate to say it, Chris maybe I don't hate to
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: say it, but John Sterling maybe right there near the
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: very top of that list.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I still think we're Zuto and his long Yankee run.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: And you know, the mannerisms of Phil you know Holy
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Cow and everything that I know. Harry Carry used to
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: get mad because he could Rizzuto stole Harry Holy Cow
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: from him. Yeah, but you know the fact that he
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: played so long for the Yankees one an MVP Hall
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: of Famer broadcaster, I still put in number one. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: you know, Sterling was doing this for thirty something years,
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: part of five championships. If you want to put him
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: number two, go ahead. I would put the Scooter number
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: one because he was such a character and everybody got
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: a kick out of him. Sterling did have his distractors,
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: but he's right there in that category, There's no question
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: about it. And the Yankee fan loves him. And the
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Yankees did a nice job here. I mean they put
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: out a great statement, a couple of good night a
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: couple of nights ago. Majik Baseball put out a big statement.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: So he made his mark. He made his mark.
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, I was at that game Monday night with
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: Randy Levine the day before the day after he passed away,
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: and I saw Michael Kaye and the great Susan Walden
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: with their flower bouquets by home plate. It was very emotional,
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: and the Yankees and Randy did announce yesterday and the
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Steinbrenners that starting with their next home stand, which starts
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: May the eighteenth, I guess against Toronto, the Yankee players
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: will wear a John Sterling patch with a microphone to
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: honor Stirling the rest of the year.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: That's nice.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: That's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, that's a nice
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: that's a nice sendoff if you're John, no question about it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: And how about this team, you know, I it's become
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: kind of it was a big deal in the city
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: for a couple of weeks here. Sid Rosenberg spent fifty
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: nine years as a diehard New York met band. As
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: you know, Doggie, you're a giant fan. Mike's a Yankee fan.
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: Me and Beningo met bands and only out to sea
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: was mister medhug Mom Donnie, and I was gone. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: now I go to the Yankee Stadium just about every night.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: Randy Levin rolls out the red carpet. I've been there
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: on an Aaron Judge Jerseys is unbelievable. Bucky Dent Jersey.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Said, said said, that's a little week. I don't care.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: I don't care about the mayor, but.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Though I care more about the mayor. I don't do
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: sports talk anymore. What about my children?
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Man, you're a fan. You can't be judging your fandom
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: on who the mayor is and you know what he
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: does and.
• 8:15
  Speaker 10: Does not like, because the mayor is not gonna be
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: there forever.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: And the next man may be a huge Met fan.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: Where you gonna do that and jump back to the Mets.
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: No, I'm not gonna jump back, but I will tell
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: you this, dog, it's not just the mayor. I mean
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: the Mets canceled Jewish Heritage Night. They could have brought
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: it back after October seventh. Steve Cohen is Jewish. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: by the way, just see you know, Steve Cohen called me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: He was upset that I did this. He called me
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: on my cell phone. We had a very good conversation.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: So the Mets are hosting the Yankees May the fifteenth
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: at City Field. Cohen has invited me to sit with
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: him all night because he actually believes that some of
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: my issues with the Mets are.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Not out of line. Do not nuts.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I understand some of the issues with the Mets, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: I don't disagree either, But I'm more wrapped up on
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: just being a fan. When you grew up as a kid,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: you were a Met fan, and Met fans hate Yankee fans,
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: and so for you to jump ship because of some
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: things that are you know, listen, they're gonna that that
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: is not that's finite, not not infinite. And for you
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: to sort of bail on the Mets to join the
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: hated Yankees, especially the Yankees at twenty five and eleven,
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: that to me is a little weak. Uh. And I'm
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: very surprised that you would do that, to jump to
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: the Yankees. I don't care what Levine does. I don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: care if Colin cause you if you sit with Gohen said,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: you're a sports fan. As a sports fan, you don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: change because of what is going on around you. You
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: stick with your fandom. I'm surprised at you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Are you mad at me?
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: The right thing?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Are you? Man?
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: That's like me being a Dodger fan. I would listen.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: I'm not the big Giant fan I used to be.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm that, but I'm not a Dodger fan.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: Why would I jump to the Dodgers if the Giants
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: did something wrong? What are you doing? Do that? That
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: is ridiculous. I didn't know this. This is news to me, what,
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: I didn't know that you're wearing Judge jersey.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't know.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: The Rangey Levine is putting out the red carpet. Really
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: and then you're gonna sit there and then you're gonna
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: go the other way and the Mets and hang out
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: with Cohen when the Mets come to City how about
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: sitting in the right field bleachers.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: And to make matters worst doggie, when I go to
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: the Yankee game in Cityfield and sit with Steve Cohen,
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: I'm actually gonna wear a Greg Nettles jersey.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Come on, I'm tastic. What jersey you could wear? That
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: really picked the Mets fan off and Nettles, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: doesn't he represents the Yankees. He doesn't no need to
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: hurt the Mets.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: But what do you?
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, maybe you know what you do? A Yankee jersey,
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: a Yankee.
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: Strawberry jersey would do it?
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: There you go, what do you?
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: But what are you doing? I mean? Really that is sweet?
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Very And now you're getting up at four o'clock in
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: the morning and you're going a Yankee games against the
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: It really really Oh yeah, listen, they and they probably
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: with the car home if I needed it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: By the way, just you know, the Mets wouldn't do that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: It's happened. I understand you've discussed that, but but yes, yes,
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: should you watch that ride?
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: And fun not just not not even get that right?
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: You may continue, sit all right, well, listen, we'll discuss
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: this more. It was everywhere by the way, box news,
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: the local channels. Even the mayor was asked about it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: But on a shoot. But not to worry about shi.
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: Not to worry about it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: If you're a family, you think of them. You may continue.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: I've also given up on Bruce Splinksteen, but I don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: want to make you more angry than you already are.
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: I want to talk about the Yankee team. Actually, you
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: mentioned the fact they've got twenty five wins. Only the
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: Atlanta Braves with twenty six have one more than the
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: Yankees in the early going. And look, they haven't even
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: gotten cold and run going back, and they are bashing people,
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: hitting a lot of home runs, and pitching very well
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: when those guys are healthy. That is the best pitching
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: staff in baseball. You know, I always thought that the
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Yankees were the best team in the American League before
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: the start of the year, but they couldn't beat the Dodgers.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not so sure anymore. What is Chris Russo of
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the Yanks.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're making an excellent point. First off,
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Rondona's not a big deal. I actually think I think
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: he's a bit of a negative. I don't think he's
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: that good. Cole is something different, and they get him back,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: and if he's a Derek Cole free Tommy John that's
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: very dangerous. I don't think the Yankee lineup is gonna
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: hit quality starting pitching because the McMahons, even Chisholm, who
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: keeps both teams in the game sometimes sometimes you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Grissom hitting one sixty seven. I don't know if the
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: Yankee lineup is gonna hit real quality starting pitching. But
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I do agree with you on one point. The American
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: League is terrible. Seattle's three hunder five hundred. The Yankees
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: always killed the American League Central. I mean, I don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: take the Ray seriously. To get to a World Series,
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: you know, so I don't know where any and the
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: American leagues, and to beat the Yankees and the Dodgers
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: haven't played that well. You're one hundred percent right now.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: The Dodgers didn't play that well last year either, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: then they played you know, then they got in the
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: postseason and the way they went. But you're not going
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: to be able to turn on and off every year
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: just because our top October shines. And you're right, the
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: Dodgers a little more vulnerable.
• 13:19
  Speaker 10: And I wouldn't say that they are, you know, by far,
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: the best.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Team in the sports. And I don't know about the
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: Braves either, So right now, the Yankees has been seventeen years.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: It's about time. Right now, the Yankees are the best
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: team in baseball, and Cole especially him, you know, with
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: Freed and the young the young righty and Will Warren
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: and everything else. They're going to be very difficult in
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: the postseason, especially in the American League, and then we
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: see what they do down the road here in the
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: in the World Series. But I'm with you said, they
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: have a chance. This is a very very good team. Now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: I heard you already last night. Basically it created them
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: to the ninety eight Yankees. You know that's a little
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: right right right now, come on, Joe, I mean, Joe's
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: on the ninety eight Yankees. That's a lot. That's a
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: little lot there. But the but this Yankee team is
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: a is a very dangerous team. It's field with Judge,
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: but they have X men starting pitching. Bednar would worry
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: me in a big game. Bednar, I know he's been
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: good for the Yankees, and he was good in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: World Baseball Class League, but he was demoted by the Pirates.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: He gives up a lot of contact. He would worry
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: me in a big game.
• 14:24
  Speaker 9: But the Yankees are very, very good, and I agree
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: with you, they could win it all short series.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: You'd throw Cole Freed and Schlitzler good luck.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: They may be better than ninety eight team in that respect,
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: but as a team, that ninety eight team was one
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: of the old time breaks.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: The Dodgers in a short series, Blake Snell is going
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: to be fast as a Daisies. He's not gonna pitch
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: a year. Otani will pitch in a short series and
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: then take your pick of Yamamoto, Glasnow and everything else.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Dodgs that great.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Starting pitching too, that's pretty good.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: And they have in the ninth innings, and the Yankees
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: have Bednar and Diaz is better than Benir A good point.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Good point let's not.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Run the Dodgers out of the equation just yet. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: because they've proved that they can turn it on when
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: they have to these last two years. But I'm with you,
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Sydney on the Yankees, and I'm assuming you'll be sitting
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: there at Dodger Stadium with Randy and the Fellers and
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: a Yankee jersey in games three, four and five, which
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: is or whatever that Yeah, three four five, which is
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: the Yankees have the best records, which is an absolute,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: unmitigated What is beginno think about all this? Or Housler,
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: guys that you love, We're huge Mets fans, what do
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: they think about all this?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: You know what it is?
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: They're scared to argue with me. You know, even Beningo
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: was I kind of get it, said it's a nightmare,
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: it's a disaster. So I think they're scared to argue
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: with me. I think in their own private moments they think,
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: like you, what the hell is sid doing? But good
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: luck trying to debate me on this program, especially with
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: the way the Mets have treated their fan base and
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: all the anti semites in and around the Mets, so
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: they cave in Doggie.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: But I think in their private moments. They're with you
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: one hundred anti.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Semi so little. I mean the owners Jewish.
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I know that, but you can't. You can't have
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: mister Mead, mister mister Mett hugged the mayor and they
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: canceled Jewish Heroage night. Come on, Doggie, come on, don't take.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Us so seriously. Watch the ball games and enjoyed I
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: suck anyway.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: What could have? What could his? Watching the ball game?
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: The team is terrible.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean that's who the real fan does. Why
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: would you give up on it?
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: A plant allowed you stick with him?
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: I mean with me with the Giants. I got bored.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: They went too much.
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: Three times.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: It was my it was my it was my it
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: was my obsession. And they finally secured it in ten
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: when they beat Texas and I and then they beat there,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: and then of course in twelve, and then in fourteen
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: they I got bored you. I mean, geez, you should
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: be rooting your ass off for the met Wow you
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: at Yankee Stadium. Nave Terry would go crazy. I know
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: you might. Mike can't be happy with this.
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: Well, my own partner said, I take Mike's seat. They've
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: given up Princess's seat just for me. That's how in
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: I am with the Yankees right now. They are so happy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: They're more excited about me at Yankee Stadium than when
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: they signed Reggie in nineteen seventy seven.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: I swear to God, that's how big this is. It's huge. Chris. Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: maybe it's a little strong.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Of the world series.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: That's true. That's true.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: But I'm sure I'm burt hooting very good. Two more
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: will run. Give me the Mets again. All kidding aside,
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: they're awful. I know they won three out of four.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: They got snowed out in Colorado last night. A lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: of Met bands. They don't want to bire Carlos Mendozo.
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: They want to fire David Stearns. They hate this guy.
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: What are your thoughts on the Mets.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's done a terrible job. I hated the Nemo
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: trade to Simmey and Simmy and Shot. His last two
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: years with Texas were terrible. He's thirty five years of age.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: I didn't understand that Tray Polanco's old. He's heard that
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: was bad. You know, they got guys all over out
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: of position. The set's not a third baseman. Hey hit
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: eventually he's too good. But you know that that was odd,
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: very odd. And Robert, I know they got him for nothing.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: But Roberts Brittle never plays, you know. I mean the Mets, uh,
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: it's it's it's it's it's a sengu stinks. I mean,
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: parsis a five inning pitcher. He was very overrated. He
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: never goes more than five innings. That's a terrible And
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: the Braves are too good and the Mets never catch
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Atlanta and the Finny's just starting to play better. So
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: from that standpoint, they're in trouble from that and the
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: me's the now listen the National League, you know, from
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: the postseason perspective, I mean, right now you've got to
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: say Dodgers, Padres, Cubs, Raids, probably somebody else. Yeah, the
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: Mets are dead.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: I mean you're probably dead, you know, you know, you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: it was actually much better than I thought they'd be.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Again it throwing, they can go the other way.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: But Saint Louis looks tough, Yeah, very much so.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: And I pay something right now, what is Lindor doing
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: at the doing at the nick game of the night.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: And somebody explain to me that we don't kill Soto
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: for that text and the Mets when they lost eleven
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: twelve straight and Sodo got pounded. Why is Lin door
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: when the Mets playing the Rockies? Why the where is he?
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: Why is he the Nick game?
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know. You're just selling my argument more and more.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, you're just selling it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna use that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: I'm going to use that for a man about in
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: about an hour and a half.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Oh good, you should Why was he?
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: For those who don't know, And I don't blame me
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: if you don't. That's a little segment we do with
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Steven A on Wednesley's But I mean, why is he
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: at the Met game? He should be at the Met game.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: He should be with the team, the Met game, the
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: Nick game. Why is he the Nick game? I couldn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: understand that by any stretching. And dun Stiller's another phony.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: He's at the Met gallop. He's of course, mister Nick.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: Really really he's at He didn't know who David Busher is,
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: but he's at the He's at the Met gal He's
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: at the Met gallup. And he's not that he's not
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: at the Nick second round, first round game against Philly.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: I mean, at least Shalonay showed up. I mean, that's
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: ridiculous for curing out out all right.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Well you know, well, you know not a big you know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: I'm not a big Ben's store ban to begin with,
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: I thought he was a cute actor about twenty years ago.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: But well on politically we were on completely different planet.
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: So I'm with you on Ben's studo. Looks a lot
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: of those Nickmans are ponies. They show up because they
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: get good seats, they usually free.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: They don't care.
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: But we'll wrap it up with those Nicobockers. They blew
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: the doors off the Hawks. Okay, incomes Philly. They want
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: three straight unbelievable to knock out the Celtics. And you're
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: saying Philly getting eight game one, they're gonna stay in
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: that game and Bead and Maxie and George and the
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: Knicks win by forty again. Now you're starting to think,
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: wait a second. The Pistons did win last night, but
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: they look beeatable against Orlando. Cleveland is a fraud. All
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: the Nickobocker's destined to get to the NBA Binals.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: Destin's a strong word, but they're a huge favorite. You know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: I don't trust Detroit. That series is more about Orlando
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: than it was about the distance. You're hardened. I would
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: never have I would never ever have hardened on my team.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: So I'm with you there. You know, I'll give Philly
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: a little past was a tough turnaround. Game seven.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: That was a huge win for that franchise.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: Never had come from three to one down to win
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: a series, and they finally did it, losing the first
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: eighteen of them. So I'll give him a little break
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: in game one. But yes, the Knicks of I thought
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: the Knicks are gonna win the series in six before
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: it began, and nothing has changed my mind about that.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: Give brown credit.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: And I was all over the firing of Thibodeau, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: you know, I love Tibbs and I thought he got
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: a real role deal.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: But you know this, and Browns played his guys off
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: the bench. They really responded in Game four against Atlanta.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: They're messing at the right time. Now. I listen, they're
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: gonna get killed by Oklahoma City. Maybe not killed, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: they're not beating Oklahoma City. But I do think the
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Knicks should get to the final. And that's the hell
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: of a story. It's a good job for him, and
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: I again, I think Tiddy will play better tonight, but
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: you know, and you can scream about him beat all
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: you want, but Phil, he's got no bench. They have
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: four good players that did and George's iffy. You know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: one day he's good, the next day he stinks. He's
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: very erratic.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: Uh So I do think the next will win this series.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: And they got a lot of momentum right now. So
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: give him credit one hundred percent.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: But do I have an extra? Throw them in months
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: in Jersey at home? Chrasey if you.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: You I mean Sid, I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna be
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: honest with you. And I've known you for how well
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: forty years?
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Thirty five?

• 22:27
  Speaker 7: and I don't lie. I have been doing this for
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: fifty years. Sid was very annoyed. Get him a ride
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: home at night, but he made you plenty of money.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: You get him a ride therefore him get him a
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: ride home at noon, especially on weekends. He likes to
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: enjoy the sunshine out there and Cony Allen Hervey LIFs.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: But the but the bottom line is that's Tuesday. Don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: lie from as standpoint of this, Yankees saying this is
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: a disgrace what you did. I gotta be honest. I'm
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I guess I'm embarrassed. I didn't know about it. I mean,
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: I tell you, I'm in my little cocoon and I
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: should know this. But you and Randon Levine breaking Bettett
