• 2:22
  Speaker 1: another night of the world. So is do we have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: live baseball action right now? No, we do not have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: any live baseball action right now. But we start out
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles or a top of mountain looking down
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on skid row the Dodgers and the Blue Jays back
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: at it. Less than twenty four hours after the eighteen
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: inning thriller in Chavez Ravine and Toronto was looking to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: even the series up in Game number four. Right there,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: big stage, man, it was a massive so important. We
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: had live music for it la a huge pitching. If
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you looked at the matchup, you said, Okay, that's a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: win for the Dodgers. Chuck that up for a win.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You had Shane Bieber representing the Canadians and show Hail
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Tani for the Doyers, the greatest player ever to play
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the sport of baseball. You cannot lose. You cannot lose
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a game started by the greatest player ever, God's gift
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to humanity. Show Hail today. You cannot lose. That's why
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: they play the games. So if you didn't see it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I assume you know by now. We watched, so you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: would not have to. It's our good mister of the day.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But Flattie is your daddy, and he walloped a two
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: run homer off God's gift of baseball, Show Hail Tani
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in the third inning there and Shane Bieber, of all people,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, the Beebs went out there and pitched four
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hit ball into the sixth inning, into the sixth inning,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, who's got like a terminator arm. Unreal, unreal,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and Toronto gets back on track. They get a six
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to two win over the Doyers. Addison Barger adding a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: couple of hits and an RBI for the J's and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: don't look now, but Toronto has reclaimed home field advantage,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and we are guaranteed that the World Series will end
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: on Canadian soil at the Rogers Center in downtown Toronto
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: right there, at some point this weekend, the World Series
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: will come to an end there in that fine city.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And that is a good jumping off point because Dave
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Roberts better storing the losing locker room. And so Dave
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Roberts addressing a very pathetic Dodger offense here, and the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: question and Roberts insinuating that there's going to be some
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: changes to the Dodger lineup heading into the next game here,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: game number five of the World Series. So the question
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is what has gone haywire? What has gone haywire for
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and what was billed as the big Blue
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: wrecking crew at Dodger linup. So my thoughts on this,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I've got Ripley's believe it or not, Super Nintendo and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Checkered Flag, and we will combine all of these things together.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put them in a food processor. We're gonna
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: pick out whatever comes out of that food processor, Man,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is it gonna be delicious? So A, the Dodger offense
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: has been offensive. Let's call it like it is here.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: They got the names, they don't necessarily have the games
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they don't. There's been far too many weak performances by
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers the entire postseason, which is shocking. It shows
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you how great the Dodgers must be. Because they're in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the World Series two wins away and they haven't played
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: well on offense pretty much the entire postseason since the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: wildcard round. They're well below they being the Dodgers, well
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: below their regular season domination, and even that was below
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: what they were supposed to be. It is carried over
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays doing what the Brewers could not do.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: A contact heavy lineup of Blue Jay hitters here, opportunistic
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: bullpen exploiting the soft underbelly of the Los Angeles Dodgers
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and something again Milwaukee was unable to do. And yet
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: here we are and Toronto is doing it at this point.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Although they're not winning the series. The series is tied up,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is now a best of three, and Toronto has home
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: field advantage yet again. But LA has gone from the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Big Blue wrecking crew with all these amazing names, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they still have the names, but now they're like a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: wet noodle, like a pool noodle, a blue pool noodle
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is what they are right there. And so the offense,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: which has been billed as a nuclear reactor, right now
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it's a dead battery and they need some jumper cables
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: because it's not going well. And it's not just one guy.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's not just one guy. This is as the line goes,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and all encompassing suck is what's going on right now
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. You got Pete Rose, the long Gone
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: well not that long, you can die that long ago.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But Pete Rose was asked to describe his philosophy, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: all time hit King. I was asked to describe his
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: philosophy on hitting, and he said, I believe it was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: six words. See the ball, hit the ball. Boom. That's it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: See the ball hit ball. So maybe the Dodgers need
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to go to the eye doctor because they must not
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: be seeing the ball. They're not really hitting the ball
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at all. The boys in blue, the Dodgers here, they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: not stringing together hits. Everyone's treating it like batting practice,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: trying to hit home runs. Here and they can't even
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: fake it at this particular point. The four to twenty
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one ops for the Dodgers in the postseason. Now, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: didn't play in the major leagues. I just do an
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: overnight talked to you. I don't think that's good. Oh,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you're being too critical. The boys are trying. Okay, great,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that's congratulations. If you want that kind of content. Sure
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that guy David Vassa does the Dodger postgame will lick
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the toes of all the players. He's spite massaging Mookie
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Bets right now as we speak. But that is not
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a slump, by the way. That is who you are
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this postseason. That is who the Dodgers are this postseason.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's also a cry for some kind of intervention. They
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: might want to bring in some major league tactics and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: put a shrine up in a locker and get a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: little statue and burn some sage in the locker room
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: or something along those lines. So the Dodgers making some
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: washed up blue jay pitchers collectively look like the ninety
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: five Atlanta Braves with Glavin Maddox and Smoltz, Bang bang bang,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: just like that. Now, Mookie Bets, I'm gonna start with
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Mooki we talk about the Dodgers' offensive problem. I want
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to start with Mooki Bets. And here's why, because everyone
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: tells me that the resume matters. Y'all tell me that.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: So Mookie Bets is an MVP, he's an eight time
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: All Star, He's won a bunch of Silver Slugger Awards.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's a big deal. Right now, he is
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like an old NFL kicker, mister automatica. In this case,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he's an automatic out. He's on Highway one fifty eight.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets is batting a buck fifty eight. He's an
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: automatic out. He needs a map, he needs a GPS
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to find his way. My got Mookie Bets ball. You know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: at this point he belongs in a museum, not the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Mookie Bets. He belongs in the Ripley's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not museum, the freak show department, right
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: next to Lobster Boy. You can have the human corkscrew.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's like a cork shrew. He might
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: be trying to kill some kind of bugs, maybe some
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mosquitoes or something like that. That's why he's swinging the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: way he is and just not trying to put the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: ball in play. And it's like, well, I'm not hitting
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: home runs right now, and this is I was called
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the bad guy. Let the record show. This is hot
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: take validation, hot take validation. I got killed. Two monologues
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: upset the Dodger fans more than anything this year. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw one I'm still getting crap about at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: end of the year when they had the mock funeral
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of Kershaw. They dug up the mount unbelievable. It was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like he was a dinosaur and they dug up the bones.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And then also the Mookie Bets sucks monologue, which was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: completely accurate. One hundred games in terrible and all the fanboys,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the cheerleaders there, the Dodger marching and shower SOCAIUTI very upset.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't say that, Is it true? Yes, it's true,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but you shouldn't say that. But it's true. I know
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's you, but you shouldn't say that. Oh my god, sorry,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets sucks right now. Nineteen at bats, three hits,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: zero extra base hits in the playoffs for rookie bats.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He's a punch and judy hitter at this point and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: they're paying him like he's prime Tony Gwinn back in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the day Barry Bonds Love child with Tony Win or
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: something like that. And then you've got the I would
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: say Comodo dragged him the room, but that's being too kind.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You've got the rat in the room, the big vermin
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in the room. That would be Andy Paez of the Dodgers.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers would actually be better off, and this is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: this is rather shocking with a Pez dispenser. If they
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: had a Pez dispenser at home plate, they would be
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: better off. At this point, Andy Pie is on Highway
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: sixty seven. He's hitting oh sixty seven in the World Series.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He's doing the full Michael Conforto cosplay. Now. Michael Conforto
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is a guy that Dodgers added, was supposed to be
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a big bat in the lineup and is so horrific
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that he can't get near a batter's box in the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: playoffs here because he's just talksing U and that is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Andy Pi's. He's been completely overmatched. He's he just lost late.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He needs to contact someone over at Baywatch because he's drowning.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: At this particular point, it's bad, real bad, and they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: leaving them out to dry. Dave Roberts is leaving them
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: out there. The guy's shown you he can't play. He's like, well,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we can't play. And Roberts keeps saying it's not rob
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it's the nerds because they don't believe that there's a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: thing called the slump. They don't think that every game's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: individual and all that stuff and lack of confidence is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: not a thing. And so here's a guy drowning and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he's continued to be in there. Does sound like Roberts, finally,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: after losing another game in the World Series, is like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: all right, well, the nerds have told me that I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: can put somebody else in there, so we'll we'll do that,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and they Andy Poz can get a one way ticket
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to can Kun or some other nice tropical location if
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you would like. And it's not just those guys you got.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Will Smith had the big home run in game two
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in Toronto, hadn't done much other than that. Max Muncy,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: what's going on? What's wrong with him? We not good either.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They're both kind of in the witness Protection program most
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of these games in the World Series, so that's where
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: we are. And Roberts keeps running out the same lineup
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: because that's what the nerds tell him to do. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just the middle manager and that's what
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he does, and he just sends them out there. And now,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: as for the pitching, there's a lot of people I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: could rip for the pitch, but I'd like to focus
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in because I've limited time, as you know, because it's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a network radio show, So I would like to focus
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on Blake Trining. Now, Blake Trining should be put on
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: an exploratory rocket out to Mars, never to come back.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. I'm convinced that the nerds and Dave Roberts
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that Blake trinon has photos of them because he keeps
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: getting into these games. It's unreal. Another guy that has
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: shown you he's washed up, he can't play, and he
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: keeps getting in these World Series games. Has an eight
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: thirty one earned run average as a reliever in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: postseason eight thirty one earned run average. Blake Trining, he's cooked,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he's burned. It's horrific. It's like knowing you're going to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: pour gasoline on a tinderbox. Who would do that? Dave
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Roberts and the nerds, that's who does it. And so
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it's like you watch a guy that keeps hitting the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: self destruct button and makes things worse when he comes
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in out of the bullpen, and like you keep saying, well,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: this time he hits the button, it's gonna be confetti.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Well no, it's not confetti, shrapnel, But next time it's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be confetti. Well again it's shrapnel, but no, next
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: next time. Enough enough and so, and then you add
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that with the Dodger offense, who's it's supposed to be
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a death star and it's a dollar general is what
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: they are now turning the page. So I would like
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to adjust to me. And I realized this is my
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: pet peeve and no one else has this stick when
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'm about to complain about nobody else has, I'm the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: only one that is gonna get on the bully pulpit
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and complain about this. But it's my job to do
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it because I see bull crap and I just have
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to yell. It's therapeutic. I just bear with me, just
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: just go with it. So the story after the Dodger
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Blue Jay game, a game won by Toronto to even
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: up the world series, was not that Shohil Tony didn't
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: get it done. It's that it's not his fault. He
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get it done. You feel me on that. So
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Otani was zero for three at the plate with two strikeouts,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and he was also the losing pitcher. On the mound
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: he allowed you know, he was pitching okay, and then
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he allowed the last inning and there's some runs that gave,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: but he ended up giving up four runs. Otani in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: six hits, and he was the losing pitcher. And ever
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: since that World Series game ended, it's been a couple hours,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: there has been NonStop media working overtime to cook in
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the kitchen of excuses. So the question for these steam
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: panel the question is where are you at on the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: media going into the kitchen and cooking up alibis for
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: sho hey Otani and his World Series clunker. So the media,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: fanboys and girls, all right, here's some of the excuses.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I jotted down a few of them. The media has
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: told us that the reason Otani sucked in the World
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Series because he was tired. They told us that he
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: didn't get enough sleep. I like that. Uh, it was
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: hot and the eighteen inning game went long, so he
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: was too tired. The level excuse, my friends here the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: level of bull crap, Like, what the hell is wrong
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with you people? Seriously, can you imagine I don't get
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: much sleep at all during the week doing the overnights.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I should go to my boss and say, listen, just
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the reason the show's not good. It's I didn't get
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: enough sleep. Okay, that's good, that's perfect. But again the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: problem with Otan. I'm not anti Otani. It's gonna sound
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like I'm anti Otani. I'm gonna get email. You don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: like Otani, you don't like o No, I don't he
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I like he's been built into baseball's demigod show. Hey,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Atani is Baseball's demigod. He is. He's half man, half
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: mythical lumberjack. And the minute that Otani looks mortal like
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: he most certainly did in this World Series game, instead
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of just calling it like it is, it's like, well,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: let's check his sleep IQ score. How much how much
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: deep sleep did O'tani get? Oh my god. As for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the weather, it was a little warm. It was not
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Phoenix Arizona warm. Okay, it was not Vegas warm. It
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: was not Death Valley warm. So what are we doing here? Okay, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it's la baseball in October. It's still hot in LA
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: in October. That's why people put up with the ridiculous
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: People's Republic of California taxation and all that crap because
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: of the weather. All right, And so you think Babe
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Ruth maybe he did. I don't know. I was alive
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: with Babe Ruth. But you think Babe Ruth ever complained
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: because he didn't get enough sleep? Wasn't the legend of Baberuth.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: There's this old guy named Bert Sugar died years ago.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Boxing guy was a sports historian, and Bert used to
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tell stories about Babe the woman I of Babe Ruth,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and the drinking of Babe Ruth and the just the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: excess of the Bambino and they travel by train and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they'd be like, you know, random women chasing after Babe
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: half naked and stuff. Never got reworded. But anyway, so
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think Babe Ruth complained about that. But see,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: this is the problem, right, this is the problem. As
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I get on the Bully pulp. But the media has
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: built Otani into a Super Nintendo cheat code, like just
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a Super Nintendo cheat code come to life. It's like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: if a video game avatar could come to life. Here
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: it is, and then he goes out there and again
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he looked very human in this particular game. And you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: have to invent excuses out of thin air to keep
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the dream alive. You got to keep the fantasy alive.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Otani is too big to fail, and there's a lot
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of people invested in this. There's a lot of reporters
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: from Japan that have gotten on the company dime there
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and they're free loading in America, covering the Dodgers on
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a daily basis. There's a lot of people that have
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Otani into their products. Major League Baseball's heavily invested in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the myth of Otani. They need Otani. They cannot have
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Otani fail here, and so he's not going to be
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: perfect in every game. But to me, that weakens the legend.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: When you do crap like this, it weakens the legend,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and that's not cool. You don't need a Greek chorus
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of pr hacks coming in here and explaining, well, the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: reason that Zeus misplaced his lightning bolt is you know X,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Y and Z. You just just say he's stunk, Mia Kopa,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: He'll be better next time, and that's it, right period,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: hard Stop you don't need all this other stuff. And
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it's like, are these real people? I'm not wired that way?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should be. Everyone else seems to be making
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a lot more money than me, and they're wired that way.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I guess I should just be a kiss ass like
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: everyone else in the media. Holy crap, I just admitted
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: move on, and you don't need to say, well, it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: because you didn't get his twelve hours of sleep. You
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: imagine needing twelve hours of sleep to function? Holy canoli?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: My god? All right, last thing, quick, right to the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Toronto side of things. So the Blue Jays get the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: win in La They had to do that. They lost
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: home field in Toronto in Game two, so they had
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to win a game in Los Angeles and they did. So.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: How are things looking for Vladi Guerrero's Blue Jays in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the World Series? So, as Larry David would say, pretty
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: deep print, deep pritt deep prit de good, not bad,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not bad. When you look at the tailor of the tape,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers a big favorite, as Viva Los Vicky likes
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to tell us, in the World Series, I had big
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: favorite and all that, but you look at it, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: if you look at the tailor, of the tape. The
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays are matching La punch for punch. Four
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: games in to the World Series. Everybody told us that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers had all the momentum from Freddie Freeman's dramatic
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: eighteen inning home run, the eighteenth inning home run, the marathon.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It ended like a half hour from now yesterday. So
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: my god. But Toronto again, they're right there, neck and neck.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: They're getting it done. And they were supposed to be
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: emotionally fried because the Dodgers had all the momentum right
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: ready to pack up the maple syrup and go back
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to Canada. Well what happened. The Jays dropped the haymaker
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: on the Dodgers. And the reason there is no such
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: thing as momentum. Oh he said it out loud. He
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: said it out loud. Yep. Sorry. Now the Jays are
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to have the World Series decided on their home field.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: They'll enjoy Mama's home cooked poutine and they'll get these
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: skyline fireworks, the whole bit right there. It's gonna be great.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: As far as the Dodgers, maybe they'll find their offense.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I think they left it somewhere between La and Toronto
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: so they can find it. It looks like they're stuck
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in gridlock traffic at this point. Good luck. But it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: is rather incredible that Shane Bieber and I'm not gonna
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I've already gotten people. Well it's fixed, it's it's you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: it's a scary, terry situation. That guy Porter. You know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: it's all rigged. I'm not going because if that's the kid,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: why are we even doing this? Like if that's if
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: this is all like scripted professional wrestling, Like what are
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: we doing? I mean, I'm as well just do something else,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: talk about some other crap on the radio. I need
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to talk about sports if it's all rigged. But that said,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: all right, that said bieber Fever, bieber Fever. In the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: World Series. He was supposed to be weekend at Bernie's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and the ghost of Cy Young passed Shane Bieber and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: he went five plus innings and one run ball. That
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: is an act of God, is what You've got to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: be kidding me. The Dodgers got emasculated by the corpse
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of Shane Bieber. That is what the billion dollar Boys
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Club and all that four hits, It's rather unreal when
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you think about it. That's why they play even mad Max.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Max Suursey should have gotten his ass kicked by the Dodgers,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and he didn't get his ass kicked. So the Jays
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: they rolled out a couple of Beater cars and somehow
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: they have at this point taken the checkered flag as
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: they've matched the Dodgers blow for blow in the World
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Series Grand Prix, so they're right there. Unfortunately, Toronto did
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: not get the text message. They must have been on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: airplane mode. They did not get the text message that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: they were supposed to roll over and play dead in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the World Series. So again we're tied up to two.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Home field goes back to North of the Border and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to be decided either way on Canadians. So
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I just haven't won a World Series at home since
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I think the nineteen sixties, so they don't usually win
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: at home. They won't win at home this year. They
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: might not win at all, might not win. You know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: it's Mike's weasel word. But the way they're playing, the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: bullpen returned to form. They suck and the offense sucks,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: so what are you gonna How do you win with that?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: How do you win with a bad offense at a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: bad bullpen and they won a game they shouldn't have won.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: So that's where we are. It's sticky situations like the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are covered in syrup, Canadian syrup and right now
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: that Jay's feeling pretty good. It is The Ben Mahler Show.

• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to it right now, all right? And Andy in Lionel Lakes,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Minnesota writes and he says another A plus Malard monologue. Men,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: with me living in southern Canada and not having a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: baseball team to root for, you can definitely feel that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: syrups starting to warm up and starting to drip on
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: your Dodgers. You see feathers flying. You know it's over there,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you go. I love the show. It's a surping. Let's
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: get syrup on. It's hard to get the syrup off.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: It's just it's really messy. It's the worst, right, it's heroin.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Is that what they use to make a feather stick
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: to you though.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Well the terms a tardan feathers. That's an old who
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: knows that's an old term. Ferg Dog writes and says, well, Ben,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the bad news is the Dodgers lost, But the good
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: news is your show isn't being covered up the Dodger
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: blowhard David Vasse. Also, I'm struggling trying to beat Lemmings.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I could use one of those Super Nintendo cheat codes,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: says says Fergno, all right, uh, not a burner, right since,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: says Ben, I have discovered if I eat the proper
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: meal and I'm sitting just right, I can emit a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: sound similar to the Leprechaun's chicken. Interesting now, the Lepriqun, though,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: does have an actual rubber chicken, and he plays with
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: it way too much. If you ask me. He always
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: has the chicken with him and I have. I'm the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: only one of the shows met the Leprechaun. Conveniently, the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: other people that were on the show were not here
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: when the Leprechaun was here.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know unfortunate though how.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: That happened, but for some reason they were not there,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: thank god. Yeah, So that was the day that the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: leprecaun got us in trouble and and whatnot. So that
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was it was a fun day. Uh uh, let's see,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: mister guy says better better purse Lebron James or Key
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: k Hernandez. Well, Lebron is and I, with all all
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: due respect, t k Hernandez is a nobody. Lebron James
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: with the with the merse, that clip which has been
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: turned into a gift of Lebron showing up with the Well,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: he was leaving the news conference against the Warriors when
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: he was playing for Cleveland, and he confidently he got
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: up and he grabbed his purse and then walked away.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It was so good, oh so great, Oh my god. Yes, uh.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Freddie writes in he says all the new words in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Japanese that he's learned there, and he says he learned
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a new word in Japanese which means strikeout, sit down.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: It is what I was telling the Dodgers, all that
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: money and the they can't hit a ball. King Rory
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: rites in a long suffering Brewers fan. He says, maybe
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts should have benched O'tani once Game three went
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: into extra innings, because number one, it was past Otani's bedtime,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and Toronto walked him the rest of the game anyway.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Plus it's Otani's own fault for being tired. His home
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: run tied the game's King Rory. Yeah, that is next
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: level excuse making. Now. I've been to sportscaster Clown College
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and they teach you about how to make excuses for
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: failed athletes. That is like an advanced course though you're
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a Rhodes scholar. If you can say, well, because he
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: didn't get the ten to twelve hours of sleep, Oh
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: my god, the guy's got I got seven hundred million
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: dollar contract and we're giving him a mulligan because he
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get his twelve hours of.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: What you know, Ben, I actually imagined that they would
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: put him in like an incubator to make sure that
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: his body could heal in the time frame because it
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: was a late game. I would be tired too. No, No,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: it's if you get paid that much, you better turn
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: it on. You get out there.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: It goes up to his mansion up there. He lives
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in Adam Corolla's old House of old People. He bought it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Corolla's old house just up the way from Dodger Stadium.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: There off the two and so he's got his big
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: compound up there and then do his thing and whatnot,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and good for him, I got. I just I just
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: love the how unreliable. And I know this has been
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: this way for a long time. These guys are so
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: unrelatable to the common person, Like they're all these clubhouses
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: are like country clubs. These these baseball players have and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: we're literally there must be so many dumb people that
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the sports media can be like, well, he didn't get
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: his twelve hours of sleep, boll Tony, and that's why
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: he didn't play that. Well, I am the man a lot,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and it's it's hot. It was kind of it's hot.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, the level of bull crap is just I mean,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it's just outrageous. And again I like the Dodgers. That's
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: just I just I'm fascinated by the industrial complex of
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: sports and where we are at this particular point. It
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: just blows me away. I'm like, and clearly I'm not
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: who this is for. I understand that I'm not the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: person this is appealing to. I just I'm just fascinated
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: by all of this. Now. Dave Roberts after the game
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: said of the game four loss, he said, quote we
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: haven't found our rhythm? Was the quote, well how bad
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: is it for the Dodger offense? So the fun fact
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of the hour, and we do love our fun facts.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Here the fun facts. Fun fact. Since sweeping the Cincinnati
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Reds in the wild Caring round, much for the dismay
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: of just Josh and Justin in Cincinnati, the Dodgers have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: scored just three point seven runs per game. That's it,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: three point seventy five runs per game. Yet they still
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: have a run differential of plus two, and they've won
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: nine of those games. Dominant starting pitching Otani was not dominant.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell in game one, Bro, I ain't playing unless
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I get mine. Bro, he got paid. Bro, I'm risking
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: my live.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he risks his live in Canada, Honey, Bro,
