  Speaker 1: Talk Talk. So I come in here and I talked
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: talk talk play every night. Some nights are more fun
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: than others. Yet four baseball games. They made a big
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: deal about this being the last time there were four
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: baseball games in twenty twenty five. You have to wait
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to the Cactus and Grapefruit League in twenty twenty six
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for that. But I lead this hour from Los Angeles
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and from the desert to the sea to all of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: southern California. We start there a night in the NLDS.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It was gonna be a knockout night if the Dodgers
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: could win the late game. The Phillies in town, beaten
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and broken, mocked by their fan base after an embarrassing
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: couple of games in Philly and the Phillies looking to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Only time we use this term is in sports
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: stave off stave off elimination against the Doyers. So o,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: dou't off you're watching it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I was on.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: TBS, so whatever that's worth. Maybe you watched it. Maybe not,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But Kai Old Swarber, Kyle Schwarber, who's not gonna win
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the National League MVP, but he'll finish runner up. Kyle
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Schwarber Hombert not once but twice. Now, not all home
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: runs are the same. You know, you have like Yankee stadiums,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like Williams Sports, like a little league field, and then
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: there's bigger ballparks, and then you know, Dodger State has
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: become a hitter's park. He used to be a pitcher's park.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Now it's a hitters park. But nothing, nothing can match
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the majestic nature of a towering shot. That actually it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: upset Tommy Lasorda because it hit Blue Heaven. The ball
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: was hit so high it actually skimmed Blue Heaven, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Lasorda yelled down, what are you doing? Towering shot? It
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: cleared the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, called the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: bleachers for most other people, but the pavilion out there
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium in a three run fourth inning, a game
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: changing three run fourth innings, Kyle Swarber got it done
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and Philadelphia will not be swept a domination situation, a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: win over the Doyers in Game three of the National
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: League Divisional Series on Wednesday night. There it was the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: first schwarp bomb of this postseason, and it led all
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of the National League in home runs. Of course, in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the American League had cal Raley, but anyway, nonetheless, Kyle Schwarber,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: big home run there, big home run night, and the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: first home run the Dodgers have allowed here in these
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: playoffs to shorebur course, and it's been pretty good about
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: keeping the ball in the park. But Schwarber snapping an
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: over eight skid in the National League Divisional Series, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he took a ninety six mile hour fastball and sent
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: it to the heavens off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Schwarber becoming
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: just the second player to home or over that pavilion
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium as pops got it done back in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the old days Willie Stargel nineteen sixty nine and did
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it again in nineteen seventy three for the Pet spurg Pipes.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it was a long time ago because it
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: was the Pirates who had a good team, and they
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: haven't had a good team in a very long time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But so there you go. Paul went out of the ballpark,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: which is very hard to do. Dodger Stadium. Game four
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: will be a quick turnaround in the best of five series.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And we played later on Thursday, late afternoon on the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: West coast, six o'clock on the East coast, three o'clock
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium local time. And the game started here
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Phillies Aaron Nola. He pitched two innings. That's it. But
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it was really Ranger Suarez who came in and the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: lone ranger on the mat. I had one run, five
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: hits over five innings and got it done. But the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room, and so
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that is where we will go. The better story always
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in the losing locker room because that's where the drama is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And we live for the drama. It's all about the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: drama o rama. So we'll start there. The question for
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the esteem panel, who gets the largest part of the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts blame Bacon rapped hot Dog and if you've
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ever been to a game in La, it doesn't matter
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's Dodgers or anything. Outside there's people with carts
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and they are tapping the cart. Hot Dog, hot dog,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: hot dog. That is what they That's the sign right there,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: all right. So on this one, I've got Buka de Beppo,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Autumn and puffy sticker, and we'll throw all of these
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make some heartburn medication,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because watching the Dodgers off and inspires heartburn. So a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: why don't we just start with the man on the mound.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The man on the mound, you're the big Boffo Soco,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: big stud on the mound. You are the number one
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: pitcher for the Dodgers, Yamamoto. And this is not a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: kid's birthday party. You did not need to turn out
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to be a pinata. In that inning the Dodgers, he
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: got an early lead as Tommy Tanks went deep, there
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: went and runs nothing. But you still have a lead.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And every inning that goes by where the Phillies do
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: not score, the tight took his syndrome works for those guys.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Get a little bit tighter, and a little bit tighter
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and a little bit tighter, so he needed Yabam Mooto
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to go Einstein brothers serve up a bunch of bagels
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. Now, he did start out pretty good,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: retired nine of the first ten hitters. Then in the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: fourth inning, right then in the fourth inning, how did
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that go? Not good? He wandered into a Buca di
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: beppo kitchen. I didn't know they had this at Dodger State.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Apparently do they got everything else there, So they have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a Buka di beppo kitchen. And Yamamoto walked in there
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and he put on some cooking clothes, you know, you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: had the cooking hat, the whole thing. And he actually
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: served up a meatball. And I want to embellish it
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: because you know talk Rado can embellish it. It was
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the size and I'm not going to go bigger. It
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was the size of Jupiter. And Schwarbert put on a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: bib and very odd to see this. You don't know
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: what this is. But Kyles swarb one of the BattleBox
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he had a bib on and he smashed it to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the moon, to the moon, and suddenly the entire vibe
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: flipped on the game. The ball actually landed. We checked
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: with NASA. It landed somewhere in Pasadena. The baseball landed
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Pasadena, and so it wasn't just Yamamoto the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Dodger bats mister seven hundred million dollar man show. Hel
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Tani had as many hits as you and I had
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: zero for five. He's batting a buck seventy four, a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: buck seventy four in this playoffs. It is Freddie Freeman,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: oh for three, Freddy's batt in two twenty two, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: it's a quarter of the side of the devil. And
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: those are a couple of your superstars the Philly you
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: give credit where credits You mentioned Rangers four as the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lone ranger who came in after Aaron Nola started, pitched
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a couple innings and shut the Dodger lineup down, mowed
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: them down like child's play. And it's always fun when
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers do not play one of the plus because
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this era, you see Dave Roberts over there with that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later. A look on his face, right, Roberts,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: always standing there like waiting for a door dash delivery
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: from Emmy Femi, rather from Femi to give him the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: door dash. No urgency, right, vintage. Now, as for the Phillies,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I would like to nip something in the bud. Right now,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm partaking in some of the some of the narrative
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: coming out of Dodgers Stadium and a lot of the bloviating,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: cheese steak loving pretzel eating Philadelphia sportsmans are like, Wow,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the Phillies have all the momentum. Now They've got all
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the momentum. The only momentum I know is Uncle Mo,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and he lives over in Jersey. I used to know
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: this guy named Ozzie momentum, but he kind of retired
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: from the show, so I don't know any other momentum
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in that Momentum does not exist in sports. I will
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: die on that mountain because I'm right and everyone else
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: is an idiot. Momentum is simply an after the fact explanation.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: If you believe in momentum, then the Dodgers should have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: won this game. They had all the momentum. They won
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the first two games. They had nothing leading this game. You,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a motor retired nine of the first ten batters.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: There is no such thing as momentum. It is merely
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: an explanation for after the fact. Meaning is ignored. When
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the team that is alleged to have all the momentum loses.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: For example, we'll get to the American League later on
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: next hour. But the Yankees. I was told by Derek
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Jeter on Fox that Yankees had all the momentum in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that series because they won. They scored a bunch of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: runs late in the blowout Game two, and then they
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: came back in one Game three, And so how'd that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: work out?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: It doesn't.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist, all right. Now, now we get to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the good stuff. Now here's a batting practice fastball. As
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a longtime radio professional text me from another location, Mallor.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: He says, your night is made, and I said, you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: know what, You're right. We had the rare and appropriate
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: sighting of playoff Kershaw. I am still getting messages from
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you idiots about a monologue I did when the Dodgers
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: did a mock state funeral when kurshed up it's just
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: final Hope game, and I pointed out what a failure
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Kershaw has been as a Dodger. I was still got
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a name of it this week. I got an email
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the other day a couple day from so Oh, I heard
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: your monologue. You know always sar I used to like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: your show, but which means you never liked my show, right,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you never liked my show? But whatever. Fine. So Kershaw
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was brought in. He was tasked with the Dodgers were trailing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He was tasked with keeping la within arm's length, to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: keep them in the game down three to one, give
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: them an opportunity, allow them a chance to come back
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: in the game. Against the Phillies, bullpen, set up the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: choke factor. How do you set the choke factor up?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You're within striking distance and that's what you gotta do. Okay,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So that was what he was asked to do. Kershaw say,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you know what I like charity. I'm going to be charitable.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And you get a hit, You get a hit, you
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: get a home run, you get a home run. You yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. The Philly hitters I actually saw on
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the Turner broadcast. Their eyeballs looked like saucers. It was
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: like saucers, very accommodating Clayton Kershaw. In fact, six of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the Phillies twelve hits, half of the hits for the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: entire gate came against playoff Kershaw, Are you idiots defending
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: this guy? He got absolutely shelled your little hero got shelled,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Your little God, your little Demi God got shelled. J
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: t Riamuto and Kyle Swarber hit bombs. Just classic, just classic. Anyway,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: here is Clayton Kershaw pointing out that he was bad.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Oh it's just a tough yeah, tough couple of the.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Seventh get played by Tayo. And then yeah, I just
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: didn't make enough good pitchres I was battling command. You know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's it's hard for you're trying to throw strikes as
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: opposed to get people out.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: So that was.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just wasn't a funny okay, just not a funny thing.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the question, how did you react to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw wetting the bed? He wetted the bed yet
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: again at Dodger Stadium in October. So that was nostalgic
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: with the Capitol n and it's fitting that should be
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: his final outing as a Dodger. That should be it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Either they're gonna get gonna lose this series, the Phillies
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: gonna come back and win the next two games and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Kershaw should go away retire after that, or the Dodgers
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: win this series and Kershaw should not be on the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: roster in the National League Championship Series. He's washed up.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But if you want to break it down even deeper,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you know what that really was. Watching Clayton Kershaw on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the mound in October baseball. That is autumn in Los Angeles.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It is autumn in Los Angeles. Now the rest of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the country gets pumpkin spice lattes, you get crisp cool air,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you get leaves changing colors, the signs of the seasons
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. You know that it's autumn when Clayton
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Kershaw is writing the vomit comet over the skies around
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Dodger State, and that is autumn in La Clayton Kershaw
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: come boom to the boom, just like that. At this point,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it's muscle memory for Clayton Kershaft's like he can do
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: it blindfolded. It even looks like he's blindfolded on the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: mound in every October. The man steps on the mound,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He's got the shoulders slump, the face looks like he
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: just found out someone keyed his brand new tesla. You know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Kershaw's serving up for right down the middle, right down
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the middle, batting practice fastballs. He called those the five
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: thirty fastballs right down the middle and the phillies. They
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: weren't so much swinging bats up there. They were swinging
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: tennis rackets, is what they were doing. And despite this
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: rich catalog of suck, every single time it is the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: most fascinating thing the study of hero worship. Every single
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: time the Kershaw apologist in southern California crawl out from
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: under their palm trees and they give the same speech.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'll give out the number here and you know, I'll
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: open up her phone calls. Of course, the Kershaw Marching
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and Shadows Society won't call in because there's really nothing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you can say. But I know the speech anyway. I've
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: heard it so many times over the last fifteen years.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I don't need you to call up and give me
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the speech.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: It's well yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: he's a Hall of Famer, yeah but yeah, but yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: he's done so much for the city. Yeah but yeah, yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: or you have it's Dave Roberts fault. Yeah but yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: but yeah, but yeah. Okay, I've heard it all. I've
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: heard it all. I've seen it all.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, so he did a lot for the city, great,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: so did the guy who invented the snuggie. Uh, you
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: want to put him in the Hall of Fame doesn't
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: mean I want him pitching in a postseason game. I don't.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I don't. I doubt the mayor of Barf City. And
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the numbers since twenty twenty three, Kershaw's era in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: postseason is horrific. Since twenty eighteen, he's got an ERA
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: five point one, and since twenty twenty three has earnedrun
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: average is forty two point eight. That's not a misprint.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Forty two point eight postseason era since the start of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three postseason. That is baseball armageddon. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the body of language with Kershaw is another great part
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of this. Right. Nobody does it better the I just
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: gave up another bomb face than Clayton Kershaw. He's got
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it down. It is art. It is performance art by
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. Head down, that little lip twitch thing that
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: he's got, a little shuffle around the mound. You cue
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the organ music, the mock funeral and as Jim Nantz
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: would say, tradition unlike any other now that would be
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that should be it. And they're gonna give him like
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: seven statues because the Dodgers are all about that action now,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So why not give Kershaw a statue of him with
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the head down, the shoulder shrug and all that worst
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: big game picture of the modern era. And it's not
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: even close. The guy is a picasso on a Wednesday
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: night against the Rock He's at Dodger Stadium and against
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the Phillies in a playoff game in October on a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night. It's a finger painting. It's a kindergarten piece
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of art, is what it is. And they had to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: dig up the mound after every postseason Shelley. It's essentially
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a crime scene when kurshuts out, so bad, guys, he bad,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: all right? Last word to Chicago, we go And this
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: was not a closed out game. It could have been,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: but believe it or not, the Cubbies for ya, Femi
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and Eugene in Chicago, and Tree and all my guys
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: in the mallad militia there in Chicago. The Cubs showed
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that they are not ready to just roll over and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: go on vacation and go down to CanCon Tee times
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on hold, as Chicago put up a four run spot
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: on the Brewers start at Quinn Priester in the first thing.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: But this series, what is going on? All these runs
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: scored early and then not a whole bunch of runs
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: scored after that. But Quinn Priester on the mound was
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: amazing for the Brewers in the regular season in the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: first inning and then the Cubs had to hold on.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: They scored all of their runs in the first inning
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and did just enough to win by the hair on
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: their chinny chin chin as they got a strong effort
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: from the bullpen there the Brewers, but not enough so
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: they couldn't come all the way back four to three
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the final in favor of the team from Chicago. So
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we get a game four later on on Thursday. Now,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: after the game, Quinn Priester, he played the blame game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: He pointed the finger entirely at himself. He said, quote
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: everyone else played real well, with the exception of myself.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That's entirely on me. Close quote all right, question, does
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Brewers starter Quinn Priester taking the blame work for you?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So the way I'll answer this is, I do enjoy
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: athletes just admitting they sucked. I think that's important. I'll
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: give you a puffy sticker for owning it. That said,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it does not change the fact that he shriveled up
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: like a grape in the sun. Who this is a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: guy that had been big balls, Bob our guy from Vegas,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: big balls all regular season. And so I'll give you
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a golf clap. I'll call you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a mensch. Congratulations. You're a bench for saying that they
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: don't hand out like parade floats and all that for
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: quality quotes. In Milwaukee had opportunities like they were playing
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: with matches. Eventually they got burned here and now they
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: got to sweat it out. Right, Now you got to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: sweat it out. You get you know, game four suddenly
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: becomes a bigger deal. I would play Game four like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it's Game five and you have Game five in your
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: back pocket. But the Cubs, now they can smell blood
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in the ivy. Should not be blood in the ivy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe Doc Mike puts them out there in the ivy.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: But Chicago, they've turned this thing into a little bit
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: more of a street fight. Not quite there yet. There
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is no such thing as momentum. But in terms of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: circling back to Quinn Priester taking the blame and all that,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a guy that dominated during the regular season. Remember, as
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the baseball marketing slogan from years ago went, legends are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: born in October. Well, legends also die in October. If
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you want reference, look at Clayton Kershaw for an example.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So you've got to do better, and you've got to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: be better, and there's no guarantee this guy gets another start.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: That could all she wrote. That could be the end
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of the road in terms of playoff baseball for Quinn Priester.

• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Phillies and the Cubs stay alive. So we will get
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: game fours in the National League. But we'll start out
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: here in the Bronx the Hour of American League Divisional
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Championship Series baseball. And we'll start out with a game
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that could have ended at all, Game four of the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: American League Divisional Series. There the Yankees looking to beat
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and force a winner take all game
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: back in all, come, did you watch? Perhaps not well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: we got your cover. We got you covered on this
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: because we have nothing else to do. We wished an
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: entire day watching sports. Vladimir Guerrero Junior and that cheating
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: astro George Springer each drove in a run, and eight
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Toronto pitchers, eight Toronto pitchers shut down the mighty New
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: York Yankees lineup five to two the final on Wednesday night.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Than that sent the Blue Jays flying high to the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: American League Championship Series. They've reached the final four for
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the first time in nine years. Toronto smacked out twelve
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: hits in smothering the Yankees. The a L East champion
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. Well, now move on. They take the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: divisional series three games to one. They will host game
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: number one in best of seven American League Championship Series.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: That'll be on Sunday. We'll be watching football, but they'll
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: be playing baseball there against either the Tigers or the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners, and those teams are set to decide their
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: playoff series. That'll be on Friday night in game number five,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Game number five there in Seattle. More on that in
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a minute. But the better story as we talk Yankees
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and Blue Jays is in lou using locker room. And
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it's always a special time when the Yankees lose in
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I know Supermarket Steve always looks forward to it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: He can't get enough of it. So let us discuss
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the question. We'll focus in on the big Ragou, the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: big ragu for the Yankees. So what does this latest
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: playoff loss due for airin Judges Yankees resume? What does
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: it do? You go to his Wikipedia page, you go
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to his Baseball reference page. What does this do? So
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I've got rewriting, academia and Nintendo, and we will combine
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are gonna make
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: your Babushka's favorite soggy nachos, soggy ballpark nachos. Yeah. See,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the nachos are like it's like my theory on fast food,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and I'm never wrong about this. I'm never My theory
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: on fast food is every second that goes by once
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you pick up your food. Like I used to eat
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: fast food all time, but when you get the fast food,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you've got to eat it right away because every second
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: it goes it degrades. The quality of the meal goes down,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: similar to nachos. Like it's like when I was a kid,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: my mom used to make she give me cereal, like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: give most kids you get cereal when you're a kid,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and I would get it and it would always bother
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: me because I had to eat it so fast, because
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you don't want to eat soggy cereal because the milk and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the cereal. So nachos are the same thing. But back
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to the point, So what does this latest playoff loss
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: do for Aaron Judges Yankees resume so number Aaron Judge
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is a magician? Can we all agree on that? Does
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: anyone disagree? Anybody in the back of the room disagree?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is a magician. He is untract to do
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the impossible. They and imaginable, the most mind blowing trick around.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Have a full career wearing pinstripes and get no bling,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: bling abra caudabra, hocus pocus. It's wild. It is insane
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to the that here we are and Judge has already
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: passed his athletic prime and has nothing in terms of championships,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: which is how you are judged as a Yankee. Now
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: here's Aaron Jude, but we'll go into the locker room.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Judge talking about yet another ending to a
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yankee season that ended the wrong way. Take a listen.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: No, I like our chances, and I like our chances
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: all year as a special group. And it just sucks
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: for the guys that, yes, it might be their last
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: time wearing Fenn shripes. You know, I get a chance
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: to have a long run with him and in the championship.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: You know, especially to the fans all year that have
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: been you know, showing up supporting us, even these postseason games,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: even when we would get down, you know, they stayed
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: right in their seats, you know, cheering us on. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: it's just disappointed. We let all those guys down.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty standard, pretty standard there from Aaron Judge
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: or the captain of the Yankees. It is ironic that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: John Hayman and one of the great f ups ever
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: by a baseball insider when he reported that Arson Judge
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: was going to the Giants, but yet in the playoffs
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: for the Yankees, the teams Aaron Judge plays for. It's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: an Arson job at least, though I'm gonna be Benny
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Bright's people say to negative Malor, I'll be Benny Bright's
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: ot here, because it's not all bad for Aaron Judge,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: at least. According to Fox broadcaster Joe Davis, Aaron Judge
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: finally had his playoff moment. He had his playoff moment.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: It was a home run in the fourth inning of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Game three of the divisional series that went off the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: foul poll or the fifth inning wherever it was against Toronto.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Yankee propaganda aside, all right, Yankee propaganda side. Judge is
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the Matinee idol for this era of Yankee underachievement. So congratulations.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We are now talking about ten plus years, ten plus
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: years in the Bronx Bombers uniform and he has been
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: given a team that has always one of the top
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: pay rolls in baseball, and yet in the playoffs bupkis
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: in terms of championships is thirty three. He'll turn thirty
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: four in April. Your athletic prime is ends about thirty two.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You can stretch you out a couple of years if
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you're a superhero and all that, but that means we're
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: talking about the tail end. Even if Judge has another
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: couple of good years in him, and for all of
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the crooked numbers, for all of the gaudy numbers and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the little trophies he's gotten and all that stuff, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: all you guys that love that exit velocity porn, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: get your you're all excited there because of the exit velocity.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is the he's reincarnated as he's like Donnie
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Baseball reincarnated or Dave Winfield that era of Yankee Baseball,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: great regular season guy. And that's a team that's judged
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: on winning championships and all that. He's got no jewelry, well,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's got a nice jewelry. He probably got
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a roll ex Ra two because he's got a lot
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of money. But he's done the impossible being what many
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: believe is the top hitter in baseball since Barry Bonds
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: most likely better though, because we don't believe Aaron Judges
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: on the sauce who knows and the clear and the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: cream and somehow still not winning. Like you think of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: every era of baseball with the Yankees, Babe Ruf, Lou Garrett, Jolton,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Joe DiMaggio, they all did it. Now the only ear
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: that didn't do it was Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, that
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: was it. But all the legends in Monument Park, for
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the most part, carried the damn franchise to the top
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: of the mountain. Now Aaron Judge again, he's rewriting the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yankee history book here for all the wrong reasons. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the man's going to finish his career as the best
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you know what that means, as good as all the
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: US best player ever to wear the uniform without a championship.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Like he's better than Don matting and he's better than
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Dave Winfield. And yet they didn't go down the Canyon
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of Heroes and either his Aaron Judge tik tik tik
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: tik tick. You can hear it, tik tik tik tik tick.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: The clock is ticking, and the Yankees so called window
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of opportunity, while it never really closes because the Yankees
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: meant a lot of money. In all reality, it's a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: very small window, very small window. It really is the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: longest drought in modern Yankee history is seventeen years from
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine to nineteen ninety five. And then they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: had the Joe Tory run and with him as the manager,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and Paul O'Neill and Jeter and then Jorge Posad and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Bernie Williams and all those guys, and now they're at
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: sixteen right now. The difference all right. And back then
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you know they got they had maddingly in that run
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: where they didn't get it done, sad wistful eyes of
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Donnie Baseball, who I believe is a coach with the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Now they've got Aaron Judges blank postseason stare.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Now Judge put up great stants. Woo o O batt
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: it six hundred had a home run off the foul
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Pole had his mollmut. According to Joe Davis, a Fox
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: had his moment. Six RBIs four walks against Blue Jays.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert Vladimir Guerrero Junior was better. The other team's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: top player was better than your team's best player. That's it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: And again, Aaron Judge, despite what Joe Davis said, his
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: signature moment is fumbling and bumbling and stumbling a ball
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in center field in Game five of the World Series,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: where the Yankees had a dominating lead they were gonna
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: get right back in the World Series, heft it up.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: That's his moment. And this series in the Bronx Vlattie
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: doing backflips and carrying Toronto while they're in Judge can
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: only watch and watch the celebration a little dazed and confused.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And so the Yankees used to own October Man. That
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: was all Yankee baseball in October House of Horrors Yankee Stadium. Now,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I guess they rent by the hour. You know, it's
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: like a sleazy hotel. They rent by the hour, all
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: right now, Page two. So the big Komodo Dragon, the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: room and the Bronx continues to be Will there actually
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: be legitimate changes? Every year the Yankees losing the playoffs,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and every year the question gets asked, are they going
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to whack this guy? Are they gonna whack that guy?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So you've got Aaron Boone who is always being discussed
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: as a guy's going to lose his job and all this. Well,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: here is Aaron Boone asked whether or not he's going
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to come back. Do you think Aaron Boone is going
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: to say, Ay, I shouldn't come back. I've done a
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: terrible job. B I don't want to come back because
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: this team's a bunch of losers. Or see I expect
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to be back. Let's go to the audio tape.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: every year. Do you have any reason to think you
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: won't be back managing the team next year?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: No?
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I'm under contract, so no, I don't expect anything.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Can I ask a question? I would like to ask
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you a question. What journalism school do they tell you
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to apologize before you ask the question? Does that guy
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: have no balls? Can we plan that again? I believe
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I just heard a supposed reporter apologize before asking the question,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: like what are we doing? What are your buddies with him?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Going out drinking with them after the news? Take a lesson?
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Aaron, I'm sorry on it, but it becomes a subject
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: every year. Do you have any reason to think you
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: won't be back managing the team next.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I don't this is Aaron. I'm sorry,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Oh crap, all right, question, are Aaron
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Boone and Brian Cashman the GM there in the danger zone?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Stranger danger? Are they in the danger zone in the Bronx?
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: So I am shaking my head. No, right, the Bronx
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: isn't the bronx anymore. It's you know, it's not like
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: it used to be. It used to be you lose
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in October and it would be like Halloween. There'd be
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: heads on spikes outside Yankee Stadium. Now it's modern deferred accountability.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: It's uh, you know again. We say it every year.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: These aren't you daddy's pinstripers or your granddaddy's pinstripers. Brian
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Cashman has been running the show since Bill Clinton was
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: in the White House with Monica Lewinsky having a good time.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Yankee Baseball has turned in to academia. Aaron Boone, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: am convinced. Aaron Boon's not going anywhere. Brian Cashman's not
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. Heck, they could both get promoted. They are
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: tenured professors. At this point, you can't whack a tenured guy.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: You gotta jump to a lot of hoops to get
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: rid of a tenured professor. They've got lifetime appointments to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the Bronx Ivy League is what they've got. And the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Steinbrenner klan that owns the team, the kids like, they're
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: not They're not the boss, right, the sequels not the equals.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: We know. You look at all the legacy ownership groups
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: in sports. They're just not as good. They're just not
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: as good. Al Davis was a tyrant with the Raiders.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It didn't go well at the end of our life.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: But his kid is a joke. Mark Davis with the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Raiders an embarrassment, right, and you give me to go down.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Then all the groups where the next generation takes over,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it's it gets worse. It does not get better, It
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: gets worse. Genie Buss horrific owner with the Lakers, right,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: old man Gray, she was terrible and she's finally sold
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the team, I guess eventually, but she wants to hold
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: on because she gets to go to cocktail parties in
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. But whatever. Fine. So the point is that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: the old man, George Steinbrenner was lighting managers on fire
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: every other homestead. He had a revolving door with these
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: guys like Billy Martin. Now you're fired, two years later,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you're hired. You know that he had I think it
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was eleven changes in like a four year Spann or
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: some ridiculous thing like that back in the day. But
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: now he fired Yogi Bear left him at the airport
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. Baseball legend that was the George Steinberners. Now
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it's a daycare center right. The current group, it's just
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: a cash cow. It's the illusion of contention is all
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you need. They're printing money, you know, the seventeen dollars
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: beers and all that. And I've been told by boots
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: on the ground that the luxury area behind home plate
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: is the top in baseball. Where they have the seafood
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: table with crab legs and high ends sushi, they have
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the Kobe beef over to the sun and all that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: It's just insane, right because they appeal to the Wall
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Street the one percenters there in New York, and then
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: don't appeal to the to the bleacher creatures and all
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And so as long as they can convince
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the fans that just making the playoffs there and that
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: you know, losing in the wild card of the divisional
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: round is equal to a championship. That's championship stands. The
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Yankees have become a theme park attraction. They really have.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: You know, as long as the turnstiles are spinning and
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you're riding the dumbbell ride and the Yes Network selling
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: their ads and they got all the spots paid for,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: no one's storming the castle. It's not happening. Aaron Boone
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: could sleep walk, right, could sleep walk through a ninety
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: win season, and Brian Cashman's gonna still be ordering catered
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: lunches for his army of nerds as Goose gotchis tremulus,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: he said back in the day. Now, the real question
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: is who is going to pay the price for the
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yankees issues, Because why I believe Aaron Boone and Cashman
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: are safe, someone's going to lose their job. Normally, what
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: you do, as you say sacrifice one of the coaches
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: depends how upset you are. You might get rid of
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the first base coach. If you're not that upset, you
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: get rid of the third base coach. If you're a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: little more upset, If you're really really upset, you get
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: rid of the pitching coach and the hitting coach. The
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: one name that I will put there at the very
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: top is of my big board, not a list Terry
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: in England, my big board. The fall guy is going
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to be Jazz Chisholm Garantee, Jazz Chisholm, free agent butcher
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: in the field, he was an All Star and he
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: was caught yawning while trailing in an elimination game and
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: then mocked the people that made fun of him, yawning
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: during the game on the field, yawning while the game
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: was going on. He's the perfect scapegoat, bad clutch player,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: not a big time player. Two eleven batting average in
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the postseason, one eight two in the American League Divisional Series,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: underwhelming when it matters, underwhelming when it matters. And you know, meanwhile,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Brian Cashman is up in the suite stress testing the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: next NERD approved depth chart, and there are already going over
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: who can we get on the waiver wire? Now, the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: danger zone does not exist in the Bronx at this point.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: It's more of a comfort zone. It's more of a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: comfort zone than that. And as long as they're selling
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the illusion of the evil Empire. No one is actually
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: in any real danger. Yankee baseball is where tenure meets mediocredy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: There's an intersection of tenure and mediocrety. All right, final
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: point to motown we go. And it looked early on
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: like it was going to be a bubbly bat for
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the boys from Seattle. But then they had to play
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And somebody named Riley Green
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: is somebody named Hobby Bias homeward four run, sixth inning,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and the Tigers are they ride. I'll roared back to
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: keep their season. I stand alive, staying up nine to three,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: dominating win over the Mariners. On a sleepy Wednesday afternoon,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: there a Game four of the American League Divisional Series,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: So that means we are gonna get a game five.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Tigers force a Game five by winning at Komerica Park
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: for the first time in more than a month. They
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: had lost eight straight home games. How embarrassing, Lou Whitaker
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and Alan Tramball, Right, what are you doing? Chet? Lemon's
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: rolling over in his grave might swall with you. So
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the decisive game of the series be Friday in Seattle.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Cy young winner Derek Scoobel on the mound for the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: MotorCity Kiddies against George Kirby. George Kirby. More on that
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: in a minute, But the better story he's in the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: losing locker room as the Triedents blew a three to
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: nothing lead in the fifth inning. Question, how do you
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: react to Fox's Derek Jeters saying the Mariners? He said
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: on the Fox postgame he said the Mariners thought the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: series was over, implying that that somehow is why they lost.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: All right, So listen, Derek Jeter, legendary bad take, nonsense.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Manager Dan Wilson did the thing you can't do at
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the time. He can't do it. He trusted his bullpen
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: and they the pipe burst on the bullpen under the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: immense pressure of October baseball. So it started out with
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: this lefty, Gabe Spier who I looked at the they
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: had the stats on the broadcast. He had a zero
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: point seventy five ERA. He had allowed one run in
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: twelve innings since September sixth, So of course he came
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: in there and poured kerosene all over the game. And
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: then it was a funeral procession of relievers. People I've
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: never heard of. Eduard Bizardo and Carlos Vargas guys like that.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Just like bullpen spam came in and they would have
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: been better off throwing Robbie the Mariner fan crying, Craig
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: JJ in Renton, and no Stradinas on the mountain. They
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: all sucked at the time. He cannot suck, so Seattle.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: What they needed was to call the people that used
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: to own the team from Nintendo and get Mario and Luigi.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Of course we know those are plumbers. Get them in
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: there to solve the bullpen. Some solid plumbers. So unsolicited device,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: what can the Mariners do to beat Tigers Ace Trek
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Scubel in Game five? Because everyone's go, oh, this game
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the series over. Tigers have their guy, They're gonna win
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Game five, go on to play Toronto in the American
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: League Championship Series. So the mallord advice call it the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Schooble Survival Pack, the Schoolble Survival Pack. You don't have
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: to win. See the thing people don't understand when you
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: face a number one starting pitcher, Okay, you don't have
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to win the duel. You just have to endure it,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: all right, you just have to do it. Now, what
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: do I mean by that, like the Big Dumper cal
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Riley and Friends. The mission is not conquest. The mission
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: is not to beat terror Scooble. It's to contain him,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: meaning that you just have to end up in a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: situation where where school is gonna go out. He'll slice
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: your lineup up like a sushi chef and just cut
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you up with a nice big butcher's knife. The goal
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: is to keep pace. The goal is not to beat him.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: It's just co author the chapter. Match it blow for blow,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: inning for inning, have Kirby pitch well, go to the bullpen,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: have some guys come in there and get it done.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And you just got to ride it out. And you
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: got to either have a zero zero score or a
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: one nothing score, or you have the lead when you
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: go to the tigers bullpen or where they go to
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the bullpen, and that's when the ink starts to smudge
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and so that's what you get. You're
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna beat Scool, well more likely than not. But
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: if you have a shot, you just gotta you gotta
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: go blow for blow, blow for It's like a boxer.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: You kind of sandbag a little bit early on, you know,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: let the fight.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Come to you that kind of be sure to catch
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: To get rid of him to the third degree.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: This is one big.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Ben gets grilled, all right, Cooperlo.
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: The Houston Astros are sticking with their leadership in GM
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: Dana Brown and manager Joe Spotted, despite their late season
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: collapse causing them to miss the playoffs for the first
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: time in a decade. Both of their contracts only run
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: through twenty twenty six, though. Is this going to be
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: a lame duck season next year for the Astros?
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Well, every season is a lame duck season until they
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: get rid of Altube. I believe he's the last of
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the cheaters still there. That's it. Yeah, tub's falling apart,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and it's just not a good team. And it sounds
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: like they're not going to spend a lot of money
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to fatten up the roster. So it's a hot mess.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, these guys are not forever. They're
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: not long term Joe Spota and Dana Brown. So I'm
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: gonna go Yes, the Arrows point ds next.
• 43:27
  Speaker 10: The San Antonio Spurs have officially listed Victor Wembin Yama
• 43:30
  Speaker 10: at seven foot five two and thirty five pounds. That's
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: two inches taller and twenty five pounds heavier than when
• 43:37
  Speaker 10: he entered the league. Ben, do you think we were
• 43:38
  Speaker 10: going to see an MVP type season from Wemby?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? What he did because he went to China and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: he was hanging out with the monks, right, Wasn't that
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: what he did this offseason? That was what his big
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: preparation was. He had like the thing of silence and
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: all that. But I think the Spurs don only have
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: to like make the playoffs. That seems to be a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: problem there. I mean, still, they should be better. He's great,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: he's still fragile at two thirty five.
• 44:02
  Speaker 10: Next, former NBA player Richard Jefferson said that most of
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: his peers would have gladly accepted an under the table
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: deal like Kawhi if they were in a similar position
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: to him. He went on to say that no active
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: performer player would be upset with Kawhi. Ben, do you
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: think that's true?
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean from what I've heard, you know, this
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: has been going on around the NBA. He's not the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: only He's been going on in the NFL. All the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: sports how do we do you passed? How say win? Hey?
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: You go? Unlike the Yankees? I won? Unlike the Yankees.

• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the questions, but it will not sound like he's reading Kopolo.
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: All right, We're gonna start off with the question for you,
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: Ben Osky. This question is from Rob in the three
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: two one.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Hi Rob and the three two one as in Florida Coop.
• 45:18
  Speaker 10: He wants to know, Ben, what is the most memorable
• 45:20
  Speaker 10: game you attended that you still tell friends about.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: H Well, I mean game for me, it was I'm
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Gonna date myself, But it was Game seven of the
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: World Series, which are the Marlins and the Indians, two
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: teams I didn't care about. But it was it went
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: extra innings in Game seven. It was like the coolest
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I've never been to a World Series before, so that
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: was that was absolutely bananas for me because you know,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: it was the first time, you know, I've done something
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: like that. But I've been to some really good football
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: games over the years. But that's that's the one that
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: pops in my head right now. What's next, Coop? What
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: do we have?
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: All right? This one, I imagine is probably just for
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Lorena and I.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Uh okay, I mean, I would like to know I've met.
• 46:03
  Speaker 10: I would like to know at what age did you
• 46:04
  Speaker 10: finally discover that Santa doesn't exist?
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I learned that Honikah Harry doesn't exist when I was.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Eating Is that is that? Is that a thing? Honkah Harry?
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: That sounds scary?
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: I feel like he would be like that scary hairy
• 46:19
  Speaker 11: guy who breaks up there.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: It was like a Saturday Night Live skit. Your Yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: now we have we have the Jews, have the mench
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: on the bench. That's what we've done. Oh that's right,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: You've got the elf on the shelf. We've got the
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: mench on the bench. Go ahead, Lorena.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: I'm as far as I'm concerned Santa Israel.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: So you guys just OK, that is true.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I play Santa every year. What are you talking about?
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Someone has to be.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: I guess. I guess you have plenty of Stas.
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: And there is this man who's lap I said on
• 46:52
  Speaker 11: at the mall every year too.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Who do you think he is? Is some random guy,
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: some creeper. No, his name is Santa.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: The lesson of that, Coop, is, if you're a good
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: looking woman, Sanna never ends. If you're a fat, middle
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: aged man, Sanna ended a long time ago. Oh yeah,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Coop.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was like twelve, maybe eleven twelve.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: I feel mad for you. The magic is dead.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well find other magic. I guess what's next year? Coop?
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: It's ask Ben. Your questions are answers for the rest
• 47:26

  Speaker 1: I currently have one pet. It is a English bulldog
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: named Moxie. I used to have a dog named Luigi,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: but the dog was a lunatic. We had to move
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: him to a second home. But Moxie is my dog.

• 47:48
  Speaker 1: pretty much every night, and her job, and she's my assistant.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Her job is to fart while she lays on my legs.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: That's your job, and she's really good at that. And

  Speaker 1: she knows. She does not move. She's the laziest creek
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: sure I've ever met in my life. She does, She's
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: so lazy. She when I walk into the room after
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I get home from the radio station, she doesn't even
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: move her body. She'll maybe move her eyeballs, but that's it.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating. That's not a garden dog. Well she looks intimidating,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: but yeah, if you really want to get her fired up, though,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: turn the vacuum on. She attacks the vacuum. She thinks
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the vacuum is a demon, and she attacked. Other than that,

• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Do you reverse in a parking space? And why.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I always try to back in to make a quick getaway.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: In fact, as an adult, you're supposed to do that
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: because if there's a stressful situation, it's proven and you're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be so flustered backing up, you might hit something.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: But if you park backing in, you're good. You're good
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: to go. You always have to be prepared.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yeah, that's an idea.

• 49:32
  Speaker 11: this guy and there was a big mudslide here in
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: California and his truck was parked and he tried to
• 49:36
  Speaker 11: back his truck up, but he actually backed it up
• 49:38
  Speaker 11: into the mudslide instead of away from the mudd.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: No, seriously, in a stressful situation, getting out of it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Like if there's a disaster or something, you gotta get
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: out of Dodge, you got to back in. And the
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: other thing is, and I also I complain to my
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: wife all the time, you always got to leave at
• 49:52

• 50:05
  Speaker 1: you got to get out of there, you know, around here,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: if there's an earthquake or something, you got to get
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: on the road and you're you know. Yeah.
