• 2:24
  Speaker 1: with baseball and the football Week seven of the NFL.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: We'll mix that in as well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the baseball playoffs, the America League
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Championship Series. Oh God, one wins, you lead, one wins
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Sunday night to get it done. And while the NFL
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: played from morning tonight all day. There was just one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Island game in Major League Baseball. This was at one
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: slot left in the World Series and Seattle visiting the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: four to one six area code and opportunity to punch
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: their ticket to the Fall Classic and a date with
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the Doyers, And that was what was on the line.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: There is winn You had two chances to win one game.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But if you win the first game, you don't. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: worry about the second game. And so they sent out
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert. Seattle did to the Mantains, all right, Logan Gilbert,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to just give us a solid out and give us
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. Give us an opportunity
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to win the game. And the opposition there for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: blue Jays, they were with Trey you Savage and how
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: did that go? Well? Vladdie Guerrero was laughing and smiling
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and having a grand time as he was playing the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: role of spoiler. And now he's set himself up. He
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: had a home run there if you didn't see it,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sixth home run of the postseason. Remember, I'm alding to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: remember those first couple of games when the Blue Jays
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: were terrible against the Mariners and we were like, what's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: going on what's going on with Ladimirguerre. Well, he's back,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so he goes and hits his sixth home run. The
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: rookie Trey you Savage struck out seven in five and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: two thirds innings. I've told that's good. The Blue Jays
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: four course eight games? How cool is this game seven?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We got a game seven. It's on Monday night. There
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they beat the Mariners six to two. They'll finally have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a better story is in the losing locker room, the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Seattle side of things, as the Mariners end up getting
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: waylaid by the Blue Jays in this game. They were
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: never had the lead, they never I didn't play well.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They were sloppy all over the place. So let us
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: discuss the question. Though it's on the mound. The jumping
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: off point is on the mound. You had a rookie
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: for Toronto who went out there and he wasn't great,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but was better than the guy that the Mariners started.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So how do you explain how bad bad to the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: bone Logan Gilbert was for the Mariners with a chance
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to push Seattle to the World Series. So on this one,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I've got boombox, skinny jeans and carnival cruise, and we
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we're going
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to have some delicious chocolate chip cookies. All right, So ay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. Logan Gilbert went
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: out to the mound with the weight of legends like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Alvin Davis and Jim Presley and Jay Buter and all
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: these other old Mariners. He went out there on the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: biggest stage of his life. He had pitched well in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the playoffs prior to the league championship series. Right, we
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: saw him have some big starts against the big appearances
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: against the Detroit Tigers. And the lights got very bright
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there and the Blue Jays cranked the volume up to eleven.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And how did that go? The pitcher there melted like
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a snow cone in July. It did not go very well.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And all the success that he had against the old
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: English d and fizzled fast. In this game. You saw,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I was on FS
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: one here. The box score was bad. If you didn't
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: watch the game, Oh, watch football, and so I don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: watch baseball. I shut up. So the box score was bad. However,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it felt much worse watching Logan and Gilbert pitch like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised it wasn't. It wasn't more lopsided than it
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: was the way he pitched. It was a parade of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: base runners. Gilbert at this point needed someone from Baywatch
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to come, and he needed a lifeguard to help Monte
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: was drowning on the mountain. Now, meanwhile, the Blue Jays
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: mentioned they sent the rookie out, Trey Y Savage, who
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in many ways was like houdin the getting out of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: jams here for the Toronto baseball team. And Gilbert on
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the other side, even though he had more experience, he's
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the one that needed a diaper change, and he wasn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: fooling anybody, and he couldn't.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Work his way out of issues.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And the four seamer was flat, as the guys like
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to say, and the slider no bite you need? Where's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the bite? There is no bite on the slider. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so the flop sweat was pouring down was not going well.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, you could have filled a kiddie pool with
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the amount of choke that was coming off Gilbert in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this particular start against Toronto. And so he gets to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: wear the letterman's jacket. Congratulations on this. You get the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: big l which is stitched on to the lettermans jacket loser,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and it was the theme. If there was a song
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: for this start for Logan Gilbert, number thirty six in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: your program, but number zero in your Mariner heard, that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: would be Bruce Springsteen getting out the boombox there and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: cranking up the blinded by the light. The light of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the world series for Seattle.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Was on the line.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And now now you screwed this up. And so now
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we have a game seven and two starts for Logan
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Gilbert in the American League Championship Series and the results
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were mixed. His ERI was not a seven point seven
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to one earn run average for Logan Gilbert in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: American League Championship Series. That is bulletin board worthy in Seattle,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: not in a good way. That is tattoo worthy. The
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: suck tattoo, Holy Canoli.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Give up twelve hits in his two starts, eight runs,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: seven earned, I believe is the numbers on that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, mention there's a game seven is down to one
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: night only in the American League Championship Series. So the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: question is what are you most excited about in anticipation
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of Game seven of the Alcs, the Jays and the Mariners.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The winner gets a chance to play the Doyers in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the Fall Classic. So this is game seven. That Game
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: five is good, but Game seven is better than the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Game five. Like Game five we had Tigers and Mariners
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: played Game five when fifteen innings and all that. Game
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: seven though I know, it is pure cinema, pure cinema.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna get here October Baseball drama orama,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all of that. The stakes, the al pennant at the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: end of the game on Monday night. Is ee going
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to be the Mariners win the pennant, the Mariners win
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the pennant, or oh god, the Blue Jays are back
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in the World Series for the first time in like
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a gazillion years and all that stuff and a playdate.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned with shoe hail Tani and the Doyers
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five World Series. It is interesting
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: note if Toronto wins Game one of the World Series
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: will be Friday night in Ontario. If the Mariners win,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Game one will be in Los Angeles with rush hour
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: traffic gridlock in LA on Friday night and rush hour
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Now here's what I love, get down to it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Here's what it makes wine. Right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Everything that has happened is prologue, everything that's taken place
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: leading up to Game seven, like all if you watch
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: all six games of this and the crazy start where
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the Mariners looked wonderful, the first two games, the Blue
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Jays looked like they were they were going on vacation,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and everything that changed when we flipped up to across
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the North American content there to Seattle. But the thing
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that's great is the it's one game. It's analytics go
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: out the window in manyways because it's it's game seven.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's not you don't have a large sample size. It's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: one game.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The scouting report says blah blah blah blah blah, but
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you throw it in the trash. You can burn it,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. And this is a night where careers
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: are defined and the marketing campaign.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: About ah, the legends are born in October.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Well, legends are born in October, but they also die
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in October too, and you have to take a long
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: time to recover from a stink bomb performance. For example,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you've got Vladimir Guerrero Junior on one side, and there
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was a chance he would have just played out the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: year and gone into the market as a free agency
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: signed forever contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, so he's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: locked in there. He hasn't gotten it done in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: playoffs this year is getting it done and beat the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yankees up. But you look at an opportunity to go
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to the World Series of the Blue Jays, Holy Joe,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Carter Batman have a chance to do that. Cal Raley
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: on the other side, this is uncharted territory. Ken Griffy
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Junior and those great Mariner teams with a Rod and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: those guys back in the day, and they never got here.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So these guys are either going to be immortalized just
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: by getting the World Series and then if they win it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that's like a higher plane, that's like a higher level
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and all that. And if they do get this done
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to win the Pennant, then you get that glossy World
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Series montage you're included in and all that. And I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: gonna spend the next decades remember when they won the Pennant.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Oh man, this is a big deal. We want to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and if you lose, oh man, holy crap, the whole
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: building is going to be tight, which is great. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we talk often about tight took a syndrome and who
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: can overcome that? And this is a great opportunity. Who
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: will succumb to that situation? It's kind of like tight
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: took a syndrome. How to describe it. It's kind of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: like wearing skinny jeans and eating birthday meal and cake.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You know, suddenly those skinny jeans a little tight, little
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: tight things a little tight there. And so that's where
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: we are. You know, the Xanax will be going out
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: there like buttered popcorn at a movie theater. Everyone's gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be on it at at Loggers heads with with just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the moment. And I think it's great because somebody's gonna
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: choke epically and I will be here to document it. Now,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: will we get a choke job like that pitcher for
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the Phillies that gag that series away on a two
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: hopper back to the mount. He chucked the ball behind
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the catcher and that was it for the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Now, that would be extra.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Special in a Game seven situation here, But again, the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: matchups don't matter, home field doesn't matter.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: There's no script at all that the.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Breaking down launch angles momentum as John Smolts likes to say,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: all that doesn't matter, all right, comes down to who
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't soil themselves in the moment in Game seven. So
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, that simple. And it's kind
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of like the players on the Mariners and Blue Jays.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: You think of them like tea bags, and you're gonna
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: find out what they're made of when they hit the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hot water. You know, not all tea bags are the same.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: There.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Ask Peyton Manning about that, now, Vladdie, he's gonna be
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the man or is he gonna be the stooge? We
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: will find out? And you got the big dumper on
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the other side about all the things that have been
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: said about his season, the most impressive playoff regular season combined,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if you get to the World Series, because the other
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: players that have hit all these home runs did not
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: finish the job, and if cal Raley can finish the job,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: then okay. And so it's all hands on deck. Starters
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: will be coming out of the bullpen, you're gonna get that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Closers will be in the sixth inning and we'll be there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'll be sitting down. I will watch the game for you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: If you don't care about baseball, I will watch the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Mariners, so you do not have to.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: All right, last word, we go to the NFL the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: game of the day in Denver, and we witness one
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of the most pathetic choke jobs in the history of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: pro football. It impossible happened because of absolute moufeasance by
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the New York Giants, period stop, no real debate about that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And my god, the Giants were up nineteen to nothing
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: against the Broncos going to the fourth quarter, a Denver
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: team that was just not their day.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: They were behind.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: The eight ball. Maybe they were using eight ball, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. They were just terrible. And somehow the Giants,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: because of their generosity, they managed to screw things up
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: so royally that they allowed the Denver Broncos to score
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: thirty three points in the final fifteen minutes and lost.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: The Giants did on a walk off field goal. How
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is that even possible? That's a biblical choke job. They
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: will be in the Bible. It's a King James Bible.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: It's in there somewhere. That is believe.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: NFL teams.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: They had the stat NFL teams sixteen hundred and two
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: straight games when leading by eighteen or more points they
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: had won. So you know it's announcers always said, well,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you never know, this team could come back. No, ninety
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: nine percent of the time, the team never comes back.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: This ninety nine point nine nine percent of line doesn't happen.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This time it happened, and my god, Brian day Ball.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Let's discuss the question who's most responsible the better story
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: on the losing side, who's most responsible for Brian Dave
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Balls Giants doing the belly whopper and getting smoked in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter by the Denver Broncos. So this was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: not a partial collapse. This was a full monty collapse,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: from soup to nuts, from A to z any other
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: way you want to say it, and all three phases
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of suck, which is impressive.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You add the special teams. The idiot kicker for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Giants missed multiple, multiple extra points, so that's an f up.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You've got the defense with sloppy tackling, just generally lazy
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: football by the Giants after playing really solid. I thought,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: for maybe I was wrong, got first three quarters, I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: thought they looked pretty good. You've got the offense with
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the rookie Jackson Dart, the new Messiah the new savior
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of the Giants, and Jackson, Jackson Dark goes out there
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and stunk it up in the fourth quarter, had an
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: interception that helped fuel the comeback. Without that, Denver doesn't
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have enough gusto to come back and win the game.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And so you mix in coaching malpractice with lase a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: fair lazy river football by the Giants, and you have
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: been able to achieve the unachievable. Congratulations, congratulating just when
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you thought the Giants had turned the corner and they'd
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: arrived and okay, they got their quarterback, they got Scataboo
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Scataboo boo, it's got the.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Name and all that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Well here's Brian Dayball, who should be unemployed
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: at this point but apparently is not, and here is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: him trying to spin the unspinnable. Let's take a listen. Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: tough loss.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: So not a lot of talking that needs to be
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: done when you lose a game like that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Everybody gave everything they had, Oh they did really? Okay,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you didn't look like it on my TV med my
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: TV's I get old TV. Maybe that's the problem, because
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it looked like they thought the game was over and
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, wow wow wow wow wow wow. All right,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: so mentioned Jackson Dart. Not good, not good, just all
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of it was was god awful. Here is Dart on
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: how you quarterbacked the game. I don't care if you're
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a rookie or not. You quarterbacked were the greatest choke jobs.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: With like five minutes ago, the Broncos were getting smoked,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and they came back and explain yourself, Jackson Dart. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: never felt like we were gonna lose the game.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: So you know, I looked at the clock when they scored,
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: I said, and.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of time left I had. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: had no doubt that we were gonna go down there
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and score. Well, guess what your defense, you didn't. You
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: didn't you left too much time or whatever. The Giants
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: took a carnival cruise and the destination they clearly did
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: not look at the destination. Their cruise was titled Crap
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: your Pants, and they crapped their pants right there mile
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: high crap, which I think is better for you. It
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: clears out your system. So congratulations and bow Knicks, the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: beneficiary of all this, who stunk for three quarters, right,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Broncos had nothing going on offensively, and then he turns
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: into John Elway in the final fifteen minutes. Here, Nicks
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: had one hundred and seventy four yards passing forty six
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground in the fourth quarter, It converted
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a bunch of two point conversions, had two touchdowns on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the ground too, through the air, and again not possible
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: without football incompetence by the New York Giants.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: There.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: The Giants were thunderstruck. They thought, well, just like Jackson
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Dart said that, ah, we have plenty of time. Well
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: we're gonna win this game. Don't worry that we have
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: such a big league that the Broncos can't come back. And
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: then the Broncos came back, So the Giants gave them oxygen.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: So does Brian day Ball survive as coach of the Giants? Now,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you'd say he shouldn't. He doesn't deserve when you look
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: at his resume and how terrific the Giants have been.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: What a laughing stock, what a fraudulent franchise the Giants
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have been for years since he took over. And you think, well,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you fight it, but that's the Giants. Don't do that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: They should have been fired two years ago. Brian Dave
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Balls should have been let go. It's a joke. But
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that's how the Giants opera. That's why they're frauds. The
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: New York Giants are frauds. They they allow this kind
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of crap to go on, this malfeasance. Brian Brian Dabole,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: who's clearly incompetent as a head coach. I mean, my god,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that Denver the Giants with the interception and some sloppy
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: tackling and some penalties whatever. The Giants gave the Broncos
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit of oxygen and they went through that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: door like it was a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Uh.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: They were just going for it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Uh. And if that doesn't get you fired, what else?
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I would have had him fired multiple times? What else
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: does one have to do to lose their job. He's
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a nice guy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I'm he's good.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Congratulations, glowing stories about full person
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and the writers like him. Paul again, give him thirty
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: three points in the fourth quarter. I'm guaranteeing you. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: tabloids in New York already had the headline the Giants
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: are gonna win the game. They're ready to go, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: then surprise, surprise, surprise.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: You lose a game like that, you should be sent
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: to the Who'sgal.

• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Canadian bacon. Welcome in not beginning of another night of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the Ben Malor Show. As we are in the air everywhere,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: homeboys hanging out together here as we stay demented coast

• 21:42
  Speaker 1: did to the next round a higher level from the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by FSR
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: alumni member and Toronto resident Canadian Mike, who out of
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the blue, he used to work here. It's actually one
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of the few people I like to work here, Canadian Mike,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and he lives in Toronto, and he sent me a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: random text message. It's like, Wow, that's kind of cool.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I like that guy. I wonder what happened to him
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: because he's Canada dry now hanging out there in Toronto.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But he messages me, and I of course our sympathy
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to Robbie the Mariner fan crying Craig who's crying right now?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: You could hear that sound at the end of the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: baseball game JJ in Renton, who assumed the Mariners we're
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: gonna lose. No stret Denis. I'm trying to remember everyone
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. We got a lot of guys that love
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the show in Seattle. I can't remember everyone. But this
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in part
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: by our friends at tire i Raq. For over forty years,
• 22:32

• 22:48
  Speaker 1: The way the tire buying should be. So our lead
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: this hour is from Obviously Toronto. It was the eye
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in the bullseye of Major League Baseball, the final chapter,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Game number seven of the American League Championship Series the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Mariners and the Blue Jays. Twenty seven outs, nine innings,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: one game winner gets the Dodgers in the Fall Classic.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: It was on Fox. You had Joe Davis and John
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Momentum Smoltz on the call. Although I have noticed these
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: last couple of games ever since I did my Mallard
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: monologue mocking the momentum that was mentioned every ten minutes
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on the game, he hasn't mentioned it as much, although
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I did hear it in every broadcast I watched. There
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: were two Monday night games and I heard it halftime
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers had all the momentum because they scored a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: field goal before halftime. I heard that. I judge me anyway,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call. It
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: was on Fox Sports One. I don't know if you're
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: watching it or not. Perhaps not, but don't worry. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: actually I loved it. I mean it's Game seven. Yeah,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I mean some of these things I watch, I'm not
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: gonna lie to you.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I hate them.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I get paid to do that. By some of these games.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I watch them like this sucks, but I kind of have.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: To watch it. This I enjoyed watching until the end.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: When cheating a one thousand and two one thousand hole,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: George Springer hit a go ahead and Dingger Springer the dinger.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I wonder if there was a bang, bang or a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: whistle whistle for the cheating a hole the go ahead
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: three run home run in the seventh inning to turn
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the game around and Toronto advances to the World Series
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Holy, Holy
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Canoley get the poutine ready, baby, So they rallied to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: beat Seattle four to three in the final in Game
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: seven of the American League Championship Series on Monday night,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Vladimir go Row and the Blue Jays will host. They
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have home field advantage. Host Sho hal Tani and the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Dodgers game one on Friday night. It's on like Donkey
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Kong in Toronto, as the Blue Jays representing the World
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Series in Canada for the third time. As they they
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: would say, we would have won a third time in
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a row, but there was a baseball workstoppage and all that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But the early nineties Blue Jays were legit. And that's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, and you got to be old
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to have remembered the Blue Jays when they were good.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And now they're good again in the World Series. And
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: so we have plenty of time to discuss as they
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: take on the Dodgers, who swept the Brewers in the NLCS.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: We have all week to talk about that. The better story, though,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room, and so that is.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Where we will begin.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And the Mariners gagged away a three to one lead
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: in the seventh and eighth They fell a eight outs away,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: eight out short of their first World Series of parents.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: They did get home runs from Jay Rod and cal Raley.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Cal Raley went yard there, and so but the Manors lose.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: They lose.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Now, Dan Wilson, who is he gonna shave that mustache? God,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I'll shave it form anyway. He's the manager of the Mariners,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Wilson, and he was asked, you've just lost the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: American League pennant in Game seven. You've choked away a series,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: losing five five of the final six games, or four
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of the final six games. Good job by you, good
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: math by me. Win the first to lose four of
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the final five to lose the series. Anyway, here's Dan
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Wilson on his Mariner message.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: Just to hold up their heads and and you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: to understand what kind of a season they had. I mean,
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: I know this things and there's no question that it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: gonna sting, but the kind of season they had, you know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: doing things that no team in this organization has ever done.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: And and you know, knocking on the door of a
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: World Series all that, you know, it's due to how
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: hard they've worked, how hard they've played all season long,
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: all the times they've come back, all the times they've
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: bounced back. It's a special team in there, and it's
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: a shame we had to come out on the wrong
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: side of this one.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: So that's a bad quote. Your professional athlete, your job
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: is to play hard. I don't give you any credit
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: for that. I give you no credit Meanwhile, the money
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: quote is from the big dumper, cal Ralei, mister danger.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: This was his career year. He'll never play this well
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: again for a full season.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: This is it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: This is the high water mark for cal Raleigh. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: they didn't win the pennant. They lose to Toronto in Game
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: seven and cal Ralei dropped a truth bomb post game.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: You know, I hate to use the word failure, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: it's a failure. I mean, that's what we expected just
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: to get to the World Series, win World Series, and
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: that's you know what the bar is and the standard is,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: and you know that's what we want to hold ourselves
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: accountable too. But yeah, it's uh, it hurts, all right.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: So that's a great jumping off point right there. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: like that. That's the money quote.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: down on cal Raley saying the Mariner season was a failure.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So I've got Rodent Blue Chee and Alfred Hitchcock and
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: are gonna make a delicious, wonderful trip to Cancun with
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: all all expenses paid. It's gonna be wonderful because that's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: where the Mariners are going. Well, the Blue Jays are
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: getting made for the World Series on Friday. The Mariners
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: can go on a nice tropical vacation. So ay, I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: love this. I love the cal Rally quote. I really
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: do thumbs up. In fact, you know, I'm gonna go
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: not just thumbs up, I'm gonna go thumbs all the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: way up to the mountain to the moon. All right,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: big dumper gets it. Good job by you. I was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the standard chow when a team loses in this type
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of environment. There was no puffy sticker being handed out
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: to the Seattle Manners.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: No aw shucks. They blew it. That's what it is.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: We're all grown ups here.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: They blew it. If it looks like a rodent, and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it smells like a rodent, it's a rodent. And that's it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: They were up two to zero in the American League
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Championship Series. They had won both games, both games in Toronto.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: They had three games at home. Boom boom boom. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they left it up. They screwed it up, and they
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: had one hand already on the World Series ticket, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: they dropped it. They dropped it, and they screwed it
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: up and that's the gag they choked. It's called what
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: it is. The Seattle Manners choked in the American leagu
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Championship Series. From Game three through the rest of the series,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the Seattle that old baseball team was outscored thirty three
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: to seventeen. They were almost doubled up by Toronto, the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: pratt fall for the ages for the Seattle Mariner. They
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: didn't just lose by a little bit. Once they stopped playing,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that was it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: They're not the last the.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Party over, losing their Augusto and losing with some rasthmatas
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: when you think about it, they and then they still
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: had eight outs to go in Game seven, eight out,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: so I eight out, so you win the pennant, you
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: get the champagne, and the Blue Jays zapped their lumber.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And the person who's not a household name, so it's
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: likely a name that only a.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Few of us will remember.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: But the one that has to wear this for effing
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it up as Edward Bizardo, Eduardo Bizardo, who was just bad,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: who apparently was good. I don't I didn't watch him
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: pitch much of a leaf pitcher for the Mariners, but
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: on this night he earns those novelty you know, the
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: plastic aircraft wings when you fly the Vomit comet and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: he gets those. So congratulations to Bizardo who screwed things up.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: He gave up the home run to the cheater. He
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: sucked at a time you cannot suck. And cal Raley
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: is right again, this is just put the ball on this.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: It is a failure. And we appreciate that he did
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: not immediately run to the gram and write some proud
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: of you boys, some kind of that bull crap post
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a bunch of crying emojis or something like that to mine.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe he did. I didn't see it. So he stood
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: up and he said it. And you know, it doesn't
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: change the fact the man has choked. But at least
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you had the guts to say, put what really happened
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: out there and not try to spin it. It was
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a failure. Boom done, and that's accountability. Good job by you,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: cal Raleigh. He had an amazing year and you lived
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: up to the big contract you got. Good job by you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The bar is not the American League Championship Series participation banner.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It's the World Series, and the Mariners continue to be
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the only team that has not made the World Series.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Every other member of the cartel has made the World Series. Now,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: in the next five to ten years, probably next five years,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they're going to add an expansion team or two, so
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it'll be two other teams that haven't made the World Series.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: And then those two teams will make the World Series
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and the Mariner still will not have made the World Series,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and it'll be even more embarrassing. But that's the way
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we are. So the weight continues as they are pennantless
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Meanwhile, in the winners locker room, not as good,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: not as good as story. The question what is the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: lesson from Vladimir Guerrero winning American League Championship Series ENVP
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: honors for Toronto?
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: What's the lesson here?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: So this is classic baseball in October playoff baseball. We
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: were talking about this series in real time and after
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: two games of the ass what was the talking point. Well,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero has had seven at bats, he's zero for seven.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, we had the stats against the Yankees. He
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: hit the crap out of the ball against everyone else.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Is after two games he was batting one hundred or
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: something like him, one o three against everyone else in
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: the playoffs other than the Yankees. Flatty was a battie
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and not a good way. Not a good way.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And then you know the hot take machine, which I'm
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: part of the industrial complex of the hot take in
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: small part of it. I don't work day shift. If
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I day shift, i'd be a big part of it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I work overnights. So this is where the real hot
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: takes are developed.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: In the kitchen.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: We cook them up hot and we piping hot right
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: out of them. Anyway, So revving up the hot take machine,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: it was spicy, so everyone was ready to stick the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: fraud label on the back of Vladimir Guerrero. And then
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: boom goes to dynamite or in this case wrecket Ralph
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: or wrecket Vlattie as he went turbo time, which is
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: a reminder. Now we have a day of talk show
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to do a nightly talk show, So it is a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: reminder though it's not how you start, it is how
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you finish. And this was a turbotastic ending for Vladimir Guerrero.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: The blue Chew or the Blue jay Chew fixed whatever
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: issue he may or may not have had here doing
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the mal or math. Vladimir Guerrero Junior batted the final
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: five games of the ALC has batted five twenty six.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: That's Beer League softball for Vladimir Guerrero with three home runs,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: scored six runs, had three runs batted in. And that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: why you pay stars. You pay them to perform like that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Not all of them do. Many of them do not
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: perform at that level. And Guerrero did not need to
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: be perfect. He was not perfect at the beginning, obviously sucked.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: He just needed to be there when it mattered. And
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that's the other lesson from all this. And I've known
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: this for many, many years, but it's it's amnesia. It's
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: October amnesia that happens every year. It's like, I'll give
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you Shoel Tani was trash in the playoffs with the Dodgers.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Everyone right now is licking every crevice of his body
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: because of the game he had in the close out
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: game against the Brewers. But he was terrible for the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: postseason up until that game. But that's what people are
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: gonna remember that. I canna remember how Toddy was sucked
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: before that. They're gonna remember, Oh my god, did you
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: see the game? He had the greatest game of all
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the time. I got my pants down that they're so
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: excited about that, so they'll forget the other stuff. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Guerrero's a great example. He was terrible for the first
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: two games, but October amnesia kicks in and he was
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: there at the end. He delivered for games three, four, five, six,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and seven onthough it was one for four in this
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: game in game seven, but he didn't melt under the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: bright lights of October there and so I guess he
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: just needed a couple of games to heat up the
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: old engine. Not the last word big picture, that big picture.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: We now have the match up. The matchup is set.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: We've got a team representing an entire entire country because
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: baseball let the Expos leave Montreal, so we've got Toronto
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and La. What letter grade? What letter grade do you
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: put on the twenty twenty five World Series matchup? First
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: glance Dodgers and Blue Jayson, So first glance on the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Mather report card, I give it a B. I'm gonna
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: give it a B. It's not an A. I can't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: give it an A. It's a B. It's like a
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: B minus. World Series.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: It's a B.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: It is a matchup that has some juice, and I
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: was thinking about it as I was making the long
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: trip in here to the hallowed hallways of Fox Sports
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Radio where legends have worked. Here in the old Steve
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Harvey studio we're in now where he did his show
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: and then crossed the way there. The other studio we're
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: in is the where Limbaud did his show when he
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: was in La like legends of radio. So I come
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in here and the storylines are bubbling up for the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Fall Classic they are What are they? You've got some star,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You've got a villain, You've got history, all of that
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: stuff mixed together. You've got Otani, the biggest global star
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: in baseball, who's representing Japan all right, biggest thing in
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the world there for Japanese baseball fans. And you got
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: him playing in his second World Series. And oh, by
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the way, even though the Dodgers won last year, Otani.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to say this part. He wasn't very good.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Oh I said it. Oh my god, I said it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm on overnight. I said it. I said
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: it the daytime, guys with lick his toes. He sucked
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in the World Series last year. There, I said it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so he's got a chance at redemption, all right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: And we also have that other story, the catfish story.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: We all got catfished when Otani was a free agent.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: You remember this. I was thinking about this when I
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: was coming in here. I was like Otani when he
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: was a free agent and nobody knew where it was
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: gonna go.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: And there was.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: That infamous private jet story. Do you remember this Otani
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to Toronto? John Morosi MLB insider tracking the tail number
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: essentially of Otani's private plane leaving the airport in southern
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: California like it was Air Force one heading to Toronto,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and everyone got all excited and turned out No, that
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: was almost as good as Arson Judge going to the Giants.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: That was a John Hayman f up by him. So
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: now it comes full circle. Now it is full circle.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: We know obviously Atani's with the Dodgers and all that
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't go to Toronto, and now he is standing
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: between Toronto and a World Series trophy, and that is
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: an interesting wrinkle to this world series. Then you've got
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Vladdy Guerrero Junior, who has turned into the Oracle of October.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: As Vladdie is your daddy, hitting four forty, even those
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: two zero for seven, the two games, Oh, hitting four
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to forty. He's leading baseball in every key number. Daddy. Yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: he is carrying Toronto. This is like David Ortiz type
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: stuff when he was with the Red Sox back in
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the day. I guess Flatty's gonna end up on Fox
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: eventually doing baseball coverage on TV. So there's no such
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: thing as momentum. But he's on a heater. That's what
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the kids say. He's a cartoon. Crooked numbers there for
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, number twenty seven in your program, but
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: number one in your heart for the Blue Jays. And
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: let's not forget the real thing about this world series
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that stands out like a sore thumb.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: The villain.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Now, you might think the Dodgers are the villains because
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: they spend all the money, they've got all the good players. No,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: now would be wrong. The villain a cheating, a strout.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, George Effen Springer forever an a hole, forever,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a cheater. He's been branded a dirty dog. He's a
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: dirty dog. George Springer and every Dodger fan in Chavez Ravine.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: When the series gets to la will serenade him, right,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: they still remember I was getting text from people that
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: were sending me messages from the twenty seventeen period of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: time there that wretched world series. Bine bang, whistle whistle.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: How about this?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Check him for the buzzer. How do we know he wasn't.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Wearing a buzzer?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Every time Springer walks up to the plate, he's going
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to get the Alfred Hitchcock treatment. You know what that is.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: That's going to.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Be the birds, the boo birds.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Is what he's going to get there.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: And a reminder for those of you that are a
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: little slow and dumb. George Springer, jose Al Boove, and
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, the three headless horsemen of the Apocalypse of Baseball,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the greatest single scandal in the history of North American sport.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: They got away with it, the whole dirt bag crew,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: all of them, and Rob Manford, who should have dropped
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the hammer on them. Instead he did nothing because he's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: locking balls. He doesn't have any balls. Otherwise he would
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: have punished him. But they all should have been banned
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: for life. George Springer should have been banned for baseball
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: for life. That home run that happened in Game seven
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of the ALC has should not have been allowed to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: happen because he would have had now of him selling
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: insurance or doing something to get a real job. But
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: because the Commission's got no spine, George Springer, Altuve pregnant,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: all those other cheats are allowed in baseball.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: And it makes me want to vomit. I want a puke.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: And so now some justice as he goes into Dodgers
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Stadium would be saring anything. I'll lose the World Series.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers are winning the World Series, and so that's great,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and they'll boom and they'll serenade him installationious. He's the
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: bad guy, so that's good. And but so it gets
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: a bee because I mean it's Toronto. I can't go
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: higher than a bee with Toronto.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: I can't do that.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: But it's got star power. It's got that we mentioned's
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: got the villain. You've got the redemption in arc with
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Otani after sucking in the World Series last year. So
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: there's a full plate of drama. And O'ton's obviously the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: biggest star. But Vladdy's gone nuclear here of late for
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays here and you got the rich kid Dodgers.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: See this is tough. Like if you hate the Dodgers,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: but you're like love America. Are you gonna like pull
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: for Toronto?
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Is there? That's Canadas team?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: What do you do? It's Hollywood versus Hockey Town. Boo Springer,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: You've got will Vladdie Rake versus that Dodgers starting pitching,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the Otani Mania all that stuff.
