OneLegUpAlex Sports Welcomes Back Terminello's Take For FInal Weekend of MLB Season recorded 9-26-25 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm here with lou Turminello for another
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Terminillo's take and a lot of sessions today in radio.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: But here we are with Louis Lou on the podcast.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: And you know what number comes to mind, right, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: what player comes to mind as we hit the last
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: weekend of the season, mister Babe Ruth, three pivotal games
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: for the Yankees and sure the Mets, but for the Yankees.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And I would say in season regular season history that
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I can remember the most pivotal final regular season weekend
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: for a lot of teams, including the Yankees.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, Alex, how are you? Thanks for having me? As always? Well,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Yankees are in. I mean that they're either going
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to play two out of three against the Red Sox
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and all likelihood or they're gonna get to buy. For
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, obviously it's all about the postseason, whether they
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: win the division or they played in two out of three.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And obviously they've had some past hitting problems come playoff time,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and you know the challenges for the Yankees are are
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: they gonna be able to to hit playoff pitching? There'll
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: be pressure on Aaron Judge who's the best player in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: baseball to come through come in the postseason, which he
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: never really has. Can Trent Grisham and Jazz Chisholm take
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: their best career seasons ever into the postseason and have
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: continued success. I think those are the questions. Will the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yankees poor fielding and lack of fundamentals bad base running,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: which has done them in in other playoff series rear
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: its ugly head. I think the Yankees are in pretty
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: good shape now. I'm not gonna I know that they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: had a very easy September schedule and that's helped them
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: get back into potentially getting the buy and winning the division.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But they took advantage of a favorable schedule, So we'll see.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And again, just like last year, the road to the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: World Series is not like it wasn't it is in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the National League, even though the National League isn't as
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: dominant as I thought it was going to be going
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: into the season. But I think the Yankees are in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: good shape the pit. They got good starting pitching. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: seems like they've strained out their bullpen, and I mean,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they could love next Friday. At this time, they could.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Be out of it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: If they don't win the division if they play the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Red Sox, and the Red Sox have good pitching lined up,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Crochet will be geting the game one starter.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: They could be out of it, but they could also
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be getting ready for the next round. So uh so
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, the Yankees are closing the season
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on an uptick, and that's how you want to go
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: into the playoff.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I know strength and schedule has really helped them out
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: here down the run, but as you say, they're taking
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: advantage of it. They're not losing the bad teams, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we always say it's how you do against the bad
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: teams that it's sort of a sign. And also the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: fact that they can win now without hitting a homer
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: every night is vital to postseason. And I'll tell you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and maybe I haven't looked enough closely at it, the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: fundamentals feel a lot better than last year. I don't
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: know where the change went, but it's like they got
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: rid of DJ. They moved Jazz the second and all
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of a sudden things were moving from that point forward. Yeah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: No, Chisholm has been tremendous for the Yankees, There's no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: doubt about it, and that that move to put him
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: at a second after they got Ryan McMahon, who's done
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a good job field and he hasn't hit, but to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: save an out or two with a great play that
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: he may make, I'll help your pitching staff and contributes
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to wins. Youon't always have to, you know, go four
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for four, contribute to wins as we've seen many times.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And the defense of major League Baseball Alex overall, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: think that is that it's all time greatest. You have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: great athletic players. I mean you saw the catch by
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Noel z Marte saved the Reds Bacon yesterday by stealing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that home run, going way over the fence to steal
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Brian Reils of a home run yesterday that would have
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: tied the game against the Reds in the game that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the Reds had to win yesterday. Pete crow Armstrong, even
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: though the Cubs loss, made a spectacular catch on on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a Soto rocket. He's just a great center fielder. And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: part of you have these guys are great athletes, better
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: than ever. But a part of the great defensive plays
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: are the is the modern major league glove. It's so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: big and the web is so strong. It helps these
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: great defensive players make even greater the plays. So you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in this season of wild extremes where teams have won
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ten in a row then lost ten out of eleven,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and we've seen we could just about mark every team
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. But coming down to the last
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: three days and you know, we'll see if the Mets
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: could get in. Obviously, the Mets pitching staff or lack
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of pitching has sabotaged their efforts to win games. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know they were forced out of desperation to bringing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up Nolan m Playing who's just been spectacular, Johanna Jonah
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Tong who has been okay, he probably is it wasn't ready.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And Brandon Sprout, who, with their life on the line tonight,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: will be pitching in an important game against the pitcher
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: won the Saw Young Award two years ago and is
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: pitching great the last six weeks. Sandy al Contra, I mean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Lindor Soto, Alonso, Nemo, they all produce for the Mets,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and they did their job, and the Mets have a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: layout closer. He did his job and they're still in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the life in that situation. Alex Viento's had a big
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four as you like to call him. He
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: was the call of the year, and he was. He
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: has been terrible in twenty twenty five. He really has.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: They get no center field offensive production. It's good to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have Tyrone Taylor back, even though he's not much of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: an offensive player. He's a gold Glove defensive center fielder.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And the two major injuries to Francisco Alvarez has killed them.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But that being said, they should not be in this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: position and if they don't make it this weekend, Alex,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: this is the biggest failure in franchise history. I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: none comes close. And I'm you know, I'm a lifelong
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Mets fan, and I would consider myself a Mets of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: storian on some level, and I've been watching this team
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: since that second and third year in their existence. This
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is the biggest failure in franchise history. This is bigger
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: than twothdays and seven because if this playoff system was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, even though they blew first place,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: they would have been in the playoffs, very similar like
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers are now, who have blown a fifteen
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and a half game lead and still might get a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: golden parachute because a there's a playoff position. This is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: unlike the two thousand and seven Mets, or the nineteen
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sixty four Phillies who blew a six and a half
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: game lead with a twelve to go, or the nineteen
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: seventy eight Red Sox, he blew a fourteen game lead
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to the Yankees. There was no playoff. There was no
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: soft landing with a playoff spot. So a very weird season.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I think a very weird baseball season comes to an
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: end on Sunday. But if the Mets don't make it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: absolute failure. And even if they do make it, it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: still been a bad season.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And it's just been a weird year of streaks on
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: every part. I mean in the core the Tigers streaks
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that are doing them in now is the most shocking
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: of the whole season. But I'll tell you, I remember
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that game in a Washington when the Mets let it
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: get away and threw it away.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: They had a few.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: More of those games, and if they had those games
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: sealed up, they would not be in this position right now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, there we've got a few games. There was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that game against Washington early in the year. There was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that game on Sunday after against the Yankees where they
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: almost won, but they were pitching minor league pitchers and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they were in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Cleveland, the one where you were laced with f bombs
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in your response to me because you couldn't believe how
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I think it was. Uh, well it was Beatty who
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: threw the ball in the right field. I mean, well
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: it wasn't it was that, but it was the tyrone.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Taylor was on first base, and uh, I believe it
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: was Lindor double down the right field line and the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: third base coach, saw Bor held them up and he
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: should have definitely sent them and I'm almost sure if
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Taylor would have scored and then.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: The Mets would have won the game. They lost it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in the tenth inning. Those type of little things make
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a difference when you're trying to get in the playoffs.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And Alex, let me tell you, even though there are
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a bunch of average teams getting into the sixth spot
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and fifth spot, there's a lot of average teams. Major
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: League Baseball loves this, and as fans, we have more
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: interest the Cleveland Guardians. Fans thought they were out of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it six weeks ago. Now they're in it. And I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: mean even a Diamondbacks up, and they're still technically in it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, they lost two in a row of the Dodgers,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: but they traded at the trade deadline Eugenio Chuarez and Nailer,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and technically they're still in it if things go their
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: way this week. And I don't see it going their way.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But major League Baseball loves this more fan interests. But
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it's just been a it's been a bad season for
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the Mets, no matter, let's I hope they make it,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: but it's been a bad season. It's been a disappointing season,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a very frustrating season.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So all right, but why do I still feel like
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it's not as bad as two thousand and seven. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: mean that one just was a meltdown right in front
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: of our eyes every week.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But Alex, that would have been they still would have
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: been in the playoffs. I mean, they still have been
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs if they had there's not they're fighting
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: for number six. A team with a three hundred and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: forty million dollar payroll and paying the luxury tacks are
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: fighting for the sixth spot. It's different, in my opinion.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's different my view, It's different than two thousand and seven.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Should they have lost in two thousand and seven, No, No,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I mean I know they had some injuries to the bullpen,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and but they still they had They had a very
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: favorable schedule in those last seventeen games, and they couldn't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: close the deal with a very very good team that
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they had that wasn't a team of smoke and mirrors.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I was a very good team.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But let me ask you this, would you take a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Soto forty forty two home run career a year or
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: would you take him at twenty five or thirty and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: then making the playoffs. I'd rather that, But you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he did have a record year in that sense.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the guy's done his job. He has
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: forty three home runs. Actually, he's third in the National
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: League in RBIs, he's first, in walks, he's first, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: on base percent first or second and on base percentage.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: The guy. I mean, we all wanted to see him
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: hit seventy five home runs and driving two hundred and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: fifty runs. That's not realistic. I never thought he would
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: playing in city field the majority of his games. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: never thought he would hit forty three home runs this year.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'll have a big weekend but the thing
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that the Mets have to do, and David Stearns got
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: away with it last year, and I give him credit
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: with you know, with the pitching and a Mets pitching lab.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They gotta reevaluate who they go after next year. They
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: can't go after the Frankie Montasses of the world. We
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: knew it in December, Alex. We said on this podcast,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: what are they doing? They took that thirty four million
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: dollars and they threw it in dumpster. Frankie Montes' stinks.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He's always stunk. And I hate to talk in such
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: terms as stink, but that's what he is. He stinks.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And I was a waste the money. You know. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: think they can rebuild all these guys because of analytics.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah no. And then of course the Senga disaster and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that whole thing again this year, and the Clay Holmes thing,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: whether he was going to be fit for Starter or not.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's been a lot and it's it's not
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: been pretty, But Lou I have to switch gears for
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a second. Although I know he went a weigh in
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on which what I just said as well, so feel
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: free to weigh in on that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah No, I think say Holmes has done his job.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, they would convert a lifelong well not. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: mean he had started early on in his career in
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the minors, and even I think he started a couple
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of times with the Pirates. But he's been relieving the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: last four or five years. So the conversion of Clay
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Holmes from started to reliever I think has been successful.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: But again, they got to stretch these guys. I mean,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the other night David Peterson got knocked down the second inning.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was fooling No.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: One.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And then we had Gary Cohen saying, well, he's never
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: pitched one hundred and fifty innings? Are you kidding me?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty innings?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Guys used to pitch two hundred guys used to pitch
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy five, two hundred and Eightyes, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: know things are different because of the way coaches pitching
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: coaches groomed these guys, and but one hundred and fifty
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: we got that.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: That's a big deal. I mean, please, I don't get it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Alex all right, Louis, Well, I want to switch gears
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: here because there's three days, three games for a record
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that could possibly be broken. And look, we all know
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I love the Yankees, but I'm not I'm gonna, you know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: go like a Yankee fan that things. Judge deserves it
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: over Cal. The health issue for Judge was evident this year,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and Cal was healthy most of it. And I just
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: think he is the MVP. Sorry Yankee pans, I just do.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: There's just no way around it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I agree with you, you know, and I think Judge
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: is the best player in baseball. I think there's two.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Probably since two thousand, there's two great players in baseball.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Mike Trout and Judge are probably the two best. Akunya
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Ronald Lacuna was on his way and he still might
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: regain that, but he had He's had two back to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: back terrible knee taires, but he would also be in
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that category. And but again as most valuable, he's a catcher.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's a switch hitting catcher. He plays baseball toughest position.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And like I said last week, if I had a vote,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm voting for Cal Raley. I mean, Judge is gonna
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: win it again. I mean, hey, only four guys, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not include I know it's seven, but I'm not
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: including Sosa McGuire and Bonds. It's the three Yankees, Judge,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the Babe, Marris and cal Raley that alone sixty home
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: runs to sixty home runs, and the Seattle the Seattle
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Baseball Park is not a home run hitting haven. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: would vote, I mean I can't. I think he's winn
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it pretty easily. But you hear the analytics, these guys,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: all these gas bags, and they who have votes, they
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna vote for for judge.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Well they'll say the intentional walks and they'll say the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: ops and look, I'm still impressedent Aaron has maintained a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: high average most of the season. That's that's a good sign.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Means he's hitting on all cylinders. But you look at
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: He's the best player in baseball. He's he's the most
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: dangerous offensive player in baseball. He comes up to the plate,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you have to change your strategy for that inning or
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: whatever the situation is. If it's slate in the game,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: there it did. When when he changes your strategy the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: opponent's strategy, that's all you need to know. He's the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: best player in baseball. I mean, you could talk about
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Otani o'tonni struck out one hundred eighty eight, one hundred
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: eighty seven times this year, and he doesn't and he
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't play the field. You know that's true. That's just me.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, and you know I'm a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yankee fan, but the judge is the best player in
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: baseball by he is always.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: The best player in This season alone tells them something
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: that we haven't seen, absolutely all right, And of course
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: as a catcher, we haven't seen that from that position,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I think in history in a lot of ways. But
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: moving along here, because I can talk baseball all day,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: like I these three games are on my mind before
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: we move on to football and Jackson Dart Yanks have
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to win all three. I don't think you can lose
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: at least one of these games. That's the way it
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: feels right now.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the Orioles are gonna be tough. I mean, obviously,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the Orioles and Yankees have been playing each other for years,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: many times in tough down to the wire pennant races,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: so there's a history between the Yankees and the Orioles.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: The Orioles have played better the last six weeks. They've
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: been pitching better than they have been, so they're gonna
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: tell them, hey, they would love to see to push
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the Yankees out of the division and having to play
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: in that you know when that basically anything goes to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: out of three. So I don't think it's an easy
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: weekend for the Yankees. I don't think it's an easy
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: weekend for the for the Blue Jay either, because you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Kevin Cash and the Jays, even though they're out of it,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they're going to play the game to the to the hilt,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: right to the end, just like the Miami Marlins are
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: gonna do. I mean, there's gonna be a ton of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: met fans down in Miami this weekend, and that's gonna
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that's gonna juice up the Marlins. It's going to juice
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: up the Marlin players. So it's a great baseball weekend
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and as you said, it's an interesting football Sunday also,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: In two thousand and six, I think it was the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yangs had a chance to they were in Boston for
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the final game of the year, and they went to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Aaron Small or something like that. There are some controversy
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: toe it didn't start Small maybe that's what it was,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and it was like, what are you doing? It's the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: final game of the year. I mean, you have to
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: start freed on Sunday. I know you're looking at the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: playoffs and you want to give them a little rest,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: but you've got to start freed on Sunday eight to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: help them get the twenty wins. That would be pretty cool.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: But because you still might have a division to clinch
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Well, if it comes out to not playing for the week,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you're that that's under consideration. But if the Yankees are
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: eliminated from winning the division, they can't pitch Freeda on.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: They cannot pitch Freeda on a Sunday. If the Yankees
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: know Tomorrow night that they have no chance of winning
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the division. Tomorrow night's Saturday night, as we record this
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: on Friday night, they cannot pitch MaTx freed On on
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a Sunday. They got because he's gonna pitch Tuesday night
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: against against Garrett Prochet if they're in all likelihood they'll
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: be playing the Red Sox. So if the Yankees, no,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna win the division. Sorry, fore you're not
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gonna win your twenty games. And he doesn't want to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: win the twenty games. He wants to pitch Tuesday Night.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, well, that's true too. He is thinking about that,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and that's something Judge's tone about this whole. He wants
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: to win every single game out right. I feel like
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: he's serious.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I really should Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, determined year.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Note that he wasn't last year. But I feel like
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: there's a different target after what we saw the last
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: postseason that he wants to Alex.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: The Yankees have made the playoffs twenty six l last
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: thirty one years. That's remarkable. Yeah, I know six, I know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I know they've bought a lot of players and I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: know all that and I hate all that stuff. You know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: they are, they are the ring leaders in buying players.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: But again, he's played a lot of playoff series, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he's played a lot of playoff series where he has
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: been unsuccessful. We've talked about it. He has a two
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: oh five lifetime playoff batting average. But one of these
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: playoff series, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna mash it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the hero. So the more, the more
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: opportunities you have, that's all you can ask for. So again,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. It should be a very interesting postseason.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. But the Yankees have the home field
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: even if they're in two out of three, and that
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: should help them. And Devin Williams is pitching better Alex,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so he's pitching the better.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: And he has his own intro like everybody else does.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He's he's a he's doing well. Finally that he's coming around,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and that's what they need from him to vall Bednar
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and the crew in the bullpen.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll have to see how this whole thing plays out.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: All right, let me let me shift gears to Sunday
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: because obviously the Giants are now going to start Jackson Dark.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. I thought, you know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Russell was going to get another week. But at the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: same time, after what happened the final drive of the
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: game against the Chiefs and all the booze, I think
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: they had to make a move here.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well, this is my question. They made the draft a
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: trade to trade up to get Jackson Dark, which is fine,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and I I'm a big proponent in that move. But
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: my then my question is why did the Giants sign
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in the first place if they were going
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to go to uh to ben him? After you know
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: three games for Jackson dark they did have. They could
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: have just signed Jamis Winston like that like they did
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and start him for three games, and if you bench
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: him after three or four games, it would be less
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say controversial, because two weeks ago
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the guy threw four hundred and fifty yards in Dallas,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And yes, the Dallas defense may not be very good
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: at this stage of the season, but four hundred and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: fifty yards is still four hundred and fifty yards. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that came this early. He must be
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: They must have a lot of confidence in them. Is
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this is this? Did this come from John Mara? I'm
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: not so sure. Did this come from Joe Shane. I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: sure that Joe Shane and Brian Dable talked about it,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: but they're emphatic. They didn't say he's only starting this week,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: said Alex unless he gets hurt, he's the starter for
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So what does that mean
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson? Will he be here next week? Will
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: he be released like Daniel Jones asked for his release
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: last year? Will he be traded? The quarterback injuries everywhere
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in the league. Is he totally washed up. I'm not
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: so Russell Wilson is totally washed up. Obviously, he's nowhere
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: near the player he was five six years ago. Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, Giants have a bunch of tough games
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: coming up, the Chargers, they got a couple of games
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: with the Eagles next week. Is a you know, a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: soft landing doesn't mean they're gonna win. They're down in
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: New Orleans, and New Orleans seems to be bad, really bad. So, uh,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: you know, it'll be very interesting interesting to see how
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart does. Obviously it will juice up the fan base.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I'll be playing at home, it will juice up the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: uh other players on the field. But again, he has
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to play. He has to play effectively.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: So as I don't want to go throwback here, but
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I remember when a certain Kurt Warner was benched by
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the Giants for an ole miss QB and Eli Manning
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and everybody thought it was the most wildest thing the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Giants could do. But then the kid brought the Giants
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: to Super Bowl years later.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but again, those those seven games that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: he played, he was bad. They lost six in a row,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and they won that meaningless last season, a season ending
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: game against Dallas. So you gotta be careful with this.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Also, today's generational rookies are different. I don't know what
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it is, but they're not the.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I would agree with that, Alex, I would agree, But
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I think they all look they might most of them
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: are ready to play quicker than some. But look at
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: look at CJ. Stroud. Two years ago, he was not
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: only the best rookie in the league, offensive rookie in
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the league, he was an MVP candidate, legitimate MVP candidate
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans. As a rookie. He's regressed last
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: year and the first three games this year. Uh, he's
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: he's regressed. So oh, you gotta be careful. That's that's all.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And uh, you know, we'll uh we'll,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens on Sunday, but I'll make It'll
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: make the Sunday afternoon game obviously very interesting.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: All right. I gotta say, uh, I feel like this
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: mid season, even though it's a week three, it feels
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: like a mid season change already happening. They could have
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: a great effect. But I'm looking at these two managed,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: two coaches who are determining my moods every day and
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: or every weekend, every day, right, Boone and Dable, and
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: they're doing what they can to save their jobs. But
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: but I want to go to Boone. He got into
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the playoffs again, and I think Dave will get the
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Giants playoffs again. But these coaches are having to navigate
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: crises both of their seasons. Is sort of parallel to this.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Boone's had success. No matter what you
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: want to say about Boone, he has the Yankees in
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the playerff almost every year, and he was the manager
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: of a team even though it was a weak American
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: League last year. He has on his resume a world
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: serious appearance. And I don't think the Yankees are firing
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Boone unless something catastrophic happens in the playoffs where he
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: makes an absolutely dumb in game move. As far as
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: dab Dabele's job is on the line right now, that's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: why I think he put Jackson Dart in there again.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: You don't want to start over. That's the worst thing,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: losing franchises. That's what happens, losing franchises. But if the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: remaining fourteen games, we don't see the Giants with the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: arrow pointing up in any way, I have a feeling
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that they'll be coaching change.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think that's on the horizon. But we'll
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: see how Dabile navigates, just like we saw how Boone
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: is navigating this whole season, and I don't know. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: then on the other side, your manager, Carlos Mendoza, I
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: felt navigated things better last year than this year. Am
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I right in that?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Well, that's because he got better pitching last year than
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: But his commentary has been a little different than last
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: year I feel like too. Like his postgame conference, he's
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: sort of calling out the players a little more, which
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: is what you might needed a manager, But it wasn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the even keel we saw last year.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Well again, remember after June first, they played twenty nine
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: games over five hundred the rest of the year. Since
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the famous June thirteenth date, or the day after Alonso
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: made that ridiculous throated Senga and injured Senga's hamstring, the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Mets have the fifth worst record in the major leagues.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: So there's I mean, those are two different dynamics for
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a manager to speak post game or you know, down
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the stretch. Now, the thing is Alex the Mets. The
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Mets weekend is a disaster. They don't make the playoffs,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: which is a which is a realistic possibility. Who's gonna
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: get the blame? You saw what the Liberty did. They
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: fired their coach two years ago. They got to the finals.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Last year they won the championship. This year they start
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: off nine to zero, then they have a bunch of injuries,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: they lose in the first round and she's out. So
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: is somebody gonna take the fall for the Mets, whether
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it's in whether they don't make it this weekend or
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: whether they lose too straight to the Dodgers? Uhuh? Next week?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Is Mendoza going to be the scapegoat? If Stern's looking
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to protect his ass? I mean, you know he he's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the one who wants to put these teams together an analytically,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: he's the one who's his first base production isn't important? Well,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: tell me where would the Mets be without Alonso's thirty
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: seven home runs and one hundred and twenty three under
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: twenty four rbs. Where would they be? They would be
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: down there with the White Sox.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: You're right, and Alonso carried this team a lot of
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the season in addition to being the now all time
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Mets franchise home run.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, I got to tell you Howie
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Rose is on a podcast with Joel Sherman and John
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Haemon saying he has at least another year in him. Man,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I get kind of sad when I hear all these
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: guys wrapping it up. But I'm glad how he's still
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: doing this for at least another year.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Well on how we have some medical issues. He's a great,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: great broadcaster. I mean, he really is. He should be
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame. And yeah, it's
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be sad to see him leave Mets radio because,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: as the great Hall of Fame broad caster Bob Murphy
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: called Mets games for all those years, said we paint
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the word picture on radio. And Howie Rose definitely a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: disciple of of of Lindsay Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Kiner from those houseame days of Mets broadcasting. He definitely
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: learned that that system. And he's a great he's a
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: great forecast. I hope, I hope he does games for
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: another five years. All right, Well, I got to tell
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you my history with him as generational.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I mean I was up in the booth with him
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: as a kid before an Orioles met game at batting practice.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Then he saw me in the Yankees Jersey met at
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Yankee Sames saying you're confusing me, Alex, And overall I
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: just kept listening to him over the years. I remember
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: listening to him at the apartment on East forty fourth Street,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and it just he's a household name, a household voice.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And as you know, I got to interview him as
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: well when I was at Queen's College. So he's been
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: very special, not just on the air, but as a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: person and part of our you know, extended family, if
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: you will. And I still email with him time to time,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: so I got to reach out and just check in
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: and seeah, well.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: The two most famous Queen's College alums, Howie Rose and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Alex Garrett.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Now Paul Simon is up there and signed b oh all.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, yeah, we'll sneak him in there.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. And of course I'll tell you that
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: one quick story. In twenty seventeen, when I was covering
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: it the Mets for the Queen's Gazette, he came over
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: and spent twenty minutes after or right before first pitch,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: spent twenty minutes with me shooting the breeze and at
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: the time I was at Salem, you know, four years in.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: He want to find out how I was doing. So
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: he's really taken me under his wing a law. But
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: even though we don't talk a lot, I just feel
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: his presence, you know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he's a good man.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: All right, we gotta get to hockey because obviously we
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: real quick because obviously we have the preseason underway. But
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: more importantly, your Islanders have made some interesting moves with
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: regards to their Hall of Fame.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that, Alex, and they're going to uh
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: put Pat Lafontaine, a great player, a member of the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Hockey Hall of Fame, is going to be inducted into
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the Islanders Hall of Fame. Finally, before a game against
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning, a great player, he scored one
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: of the most famous goals in Islander history, the incredible
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: four overtime Easter Epic against the Washington Capitals, which ended
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: on East started on Easter Saturday, ended on about two
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock on Easter Sunday morning. He was he was a
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: great player, one of the great, one of the first
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: great American players. Uh. The Islanders actually made a trade
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: with the with the then Colorado Rockies, not to be
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: confused with the Baseball Colorado Rockies, for their first round
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: draft pick. They traded one of their longtime defense from
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Bob Lorimer and another player I forget who. I think
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it might have been Dave Cameron for the Colorado Rockies
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: first round pick. The Rockies were terrible. They should not
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: have been giving up first round picks. So the Islands
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: had the third pick in the draft a couple of
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: years later, and they picked Pat Lafontaine. And he played
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: in the finals when the drive for five that fifth
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: when we were going for five cups in a row.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: He played like the last twenty games and he's and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: he was very effective right off the bat. But the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Islanders lost the finals to the Edmonton Oilers, and he
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: had he had a tremendous career, hadn't had a contract dispute,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and the Islanders traded and Bill Tory trade them to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Sabers for Pierre Jhon and a couple of
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: other players. I think Benoa Hope might have been that
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: trade also, and Pierre Turjon two years later scored fifty
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: eight goals. He's a member of the Hockey Hall of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Fame also, So it was a trade that helped both teams,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and the Islanders got to the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Finals in ninety three, where they lost to the eventual
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: champion Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canaines, who are who's who
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: are led by their now coach Patrick Waugh who beat
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: him in five games, and then they ended up being
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup finals. But
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: La Fontaine deserves every accolade that's coming to him. A
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: great player, and it's good to see the Islanders bring
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: one of their old greats back. But besides the Islanders,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the New Jersey Devils have not signed Luke Hughes yet
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and he's not in camp. And you know, you just
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: hear a lot of rumors of what's going on with
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the Devils, that Dougie Hamilton might be on a trade block.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: He has a he has a nine million dollar cap
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: hit and I believe he has two more years left
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: on his deal. You hear all this talk about Quinn Ughes,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the Hughes brothers wanting to play together and Quinn Us
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: is going to be a free agent at the end
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of this year. I don't know. Could could Doug Hamilton
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: be part of a trade to Vancouver where Quinn Us
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: would be coming back to the Devils sometime this year
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. I don't know. I mean, it's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: just just a lot of just a lot of talk
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: going on even here, talk that that at the Penguins,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: who are in total rebuild mode, might offer Sidney Crosby
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: up and he could obviously Crosby can still play. Would
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the Devils be interested in getting somebody like that. Uh,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think that the Rangers or Islanders would be
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: interested in in Crosby. Uh. The Islands obviously were a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: young team and uh they've had cal Richie who they
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: got for brock Nelson had a good camp. I don't
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: think he's going to start this season with the Islands.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But that's somebody look at when the season begins, so
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you know, hockey season's here. But keep an eye on
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the the U's brother situation, both Luke who is unsigned
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: and not in camp, and uh the quinn u situation.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: The brothers have said they want to play on the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: same team, so whether.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: They wanted to play with their third brother, who everybody
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: seems to forget about it in the Upper Upper West,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: you know, up Northwest.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's literally the first or second
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: best defenseman in the league. And he's won, you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: he's won accolades, he's won he's been first team, he's
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: won trophies. But the old brothers want to play player
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: on the same team, whether it's the Devil's whether it's
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: van I don't think it's gonna be Vancouver. So we'll see,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: we'll see what what what happens there, will that will
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Luke Hughes got a three year bridge Bridge deal, we
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: get an eight year deal. I think that's what he
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: probably will get. But they haven't signed him yet, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the opening day is October eighth or ninth, so it's
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: not that far away. Alex.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I know the Rangers October seventh, the hundredth campaign, one
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: hundred season, and pretty special to be witnessing that. We
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: all know the Giants one hundred went south. But the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: hockey is a very different sport than the Rangers seem
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: to always it's got for last year. They always seemed
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: to be in the thick of it. So we'll love
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: to see. But for now, Lou, I got to jump
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: back on the air, so I wanted to take a
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: long time to talk with you tonight. I'm excited we
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: did Terminola's take for this week. We'll have a more
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: extended edition next week because I we still got to
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: get to your Jets and what they're gonna do moving forward.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: But right now, the focus seems to be on Dart,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: the Yanks going for the division, the Mets hanging on
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: by a thread, and the new threads for the one
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: hundred season all seemed to be the storylines this year.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: This week, Louis, yes, you hit the nail on the head.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: The Mets are hanging on by a thread.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: All right, Well let's see what happens Inami and I
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: think it's funny right in two thousand and seven who
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: they have to face against in that final weekend and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: brawl with Miami, well Florida then, and they were a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: different looking team then, but the sentiment remains the same.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be a rivalry weekend for sure.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Alex, thank you for having me as always, I
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: much much appreciated.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: All Right, that's lou Terminilo Terminela's take on One Leg
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Up alex Sports,
