  Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: over forty years, that's two generations, ti Iraq has been
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: where they drive. Ship fast and freeback by free road
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Alf's a big fan of that. Alf who loves the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: mail bag on the Fifth Hour podcast not so much
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: though Fergdock did not send a letter in this this week,
• 1:46

• 1:48
  Speaker 1: iraq dot com the way tire buying should be and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: very exciting, very exciting. So our lead this hour as
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we begin the brand new week a story. I'm told
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I have to start with story. Everyone wants to know
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what I think of this start because my opinion matters,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So we'll start in Los Angeles. The fourth of July
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: weekend has come and gone. The pyrotechnic shows have ended,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: although I did see some fireworks on the way into
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the studio, so they're still going on in many places.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But the cheating a one one thousand and two one
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: thousand holes were stopping by Sokal and they monster mashed
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the cheaters against the Dodgers this weekend. There was a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: lot of joy, a lot of euphoria among the fan base.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: There those that support the vermin of baseball, the deplorable,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: cheating scumbags of Major League Baseball. So I don't know
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: if you watched the end. If you probably didn't because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you're not doing things where you sit and watch a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: stupid game on television, because you know stuff going on
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: holiday weekend, spend time with friends and family and all that. Well,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it started out within eighteen to one annihilation. It was
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to the point where Oral Hersheiser Dodger broadcasters said, well,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: maybe these guys are cheating again, and it certainly looked
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that way, and it'd be hard to argue they weren't.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It would be hard to argue and have any other
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: point than they Why were they not doing it again?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: They did it before they got away with it. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that was on Friday, continued through Sunday, the old sweep.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. And here it is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for the esteem panther. You have a message for the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Houston fans who seem to be orgasmic over beating up
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers over the weekend. So my thoughts on this.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I've got big tobacco, pepe le pew and cream puff
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: we are going to have a Smorgesborg is what we're
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: going to have. So a do I have a message.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Of course we have message. We have a big message
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: for the Houston fans, and we've been on there for
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: years on the radio dial there and Houston. In fact,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: we happen to be on the Astro station, which is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: quite quite amusing, but absolutely so for mister Irrigation and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: o Cho Texto and Alex the Cynical and Ivan the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Terrible and all these other characters who either used to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: live in Houston or live there now or Houston adjacent
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. All you other blokes, you know
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: who you are. Okay, we don't give a rats ass
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that the Houston Astros just swept the Dodger. The can
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: go sweep the Padres, they can sweep the Tigers, they
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: can go sweep the twenty seven frickin' Yankees for all
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I care. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to me. They can reincarnate Babe Ruth and they can
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: strike Babe Ruth out every time. It doesn't matter, because
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it's heard. Polishing is what it is, right, and you're
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be able to polisher turd and the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Astros are turds, is what they are. And you can
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: try all you want to rewrite history, right, try to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: rewrite history because you want a few games in July
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Congratulations, whoa oh man, we won
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: some games in July of twenty twenty five. Who cares? Right? Seriously?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Right this weekend? It changes nothing. I know that's tough
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for you to handle. I know you. Oh, this guy's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: just a gas bag. I speak the gospel, Okay, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: speak the gospel. I'll tell you why. Here's why. Because
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. No, I've not forgotten in twenty seventeen.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And let me say this slowly for those of you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in the back of the room that are hungover from
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: your holiday weekend. Here all right, the Houston eh Shrows cheated.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Capital CE Capital CE cheated. They didn't bend the rules.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Wasn't just a little bend of the rules. No, no, no, no, no.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: They didn't find some competitive edge. Some of you a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: holes like they say that, oh it was just a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: competitive edge bend. Why are you such a a schmuck?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: No?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: They chat dead chake dead fall stop.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's it. C h E a t E day chet it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: They cheated. They banged on trash cans, bite bind in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the freaking World Series. They did it. It was in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the World Series video. Major League Baseball is so stupid.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: They put this in the Major League Baseball produced World
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Series video. The table that they used to send the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: signs in to the batters. Okay, they cheated, and it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: was in the World Series video from twenty They were
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: banging on trash cans like a toddler on a candy high,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: right a sugar rush, and all that. They used all
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: kinds of illicit methods to steal signs that year, like
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a kleptomaniac walking through the Astros souvenir shop and just
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'll take a hat, I'll throw that down my shorts.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shirt, I'll shove that up, Mike Keysner,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: whatever I have to do. And they did it, all,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: all of it, all of it to get a worthless,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: worthless hunk of metal. It's called a commissioner of Major
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. Just a worthless hunk of metal. And when
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you think about it, there's a lot of parts to this. Obviously.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The reason that I have not forgotten and we'll never
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: forget is for the most part they got away with
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball endorsed it. They indorsed cheating, which is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: odd because I see them punishing random baseball players for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: being involved in gambling. Some no name pitcher for the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians is currently on time out because he could
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: have been involved in gambling. But a team cheating in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the World Series, we're good. We're good. Nah, We're fine.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And the reason that happened is because baseball has a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: leadership vacuum. They have a spineless, toothless commissioner who is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: still the commissioner of Major League Baseball. No vacated title
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: for a team that cheated in the World Series, no
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: postseason ban, No player got suspended who took part in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: illicit activity. In fact, the only few people that got punished,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: they're all back. They're all back in baseball, right, all
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of them. The manager of the George Tigers right now
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was the manager when the Tiger, when the a holes
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: were cheating there in Houston. He's now managing the Tigers.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So now we can't even enjoy what they're doing in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Detroit because it's sullied because of the manager. And I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: go down the list, right, and it was a not
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: even a slap on the wrist, that's what even counts
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a slap, you hit the wrist. It hurts a little bit.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That wasn't even that. Rob Manford, the toothless, gutless commissioner
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball, What an embarrassment eight years out? Nothing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: In fact, Baseball ran interference for the schmucks. They ran interference.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: They ran a PR campaign, a PR campaign. Now, when
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I was a little kid, my dad tried to get
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: me don't smoke cigarettes. When I was a kid, everyone's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: smoking cigaret. My Dad's like, don't smoke cigarettes. Might might
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: big tobacco. Right, what major League Baseball did to cover
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for the Asstros cheating is next level. It's like big
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: tobaccos and aw cigarettes aren't bad for you, They're good.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Go for it, you know, smoke your lungs out. They
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: ran interference for the scoundrel And so because of a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: random series July four, fourth weekend where the a Holes
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: beat the Dodgers, the good guys three games in a row,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Like somehow that changes something. No, it just reinforces what
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: we all we already knew, truth, justice in the in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the American way of fighting the a Holes from Houston.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And how are things looking, by the way, how are
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: things looking for the face, the duplicitors face. It's a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: small face. It's a little face of the Astros. That
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: would be Jose al Tuoba, better known by his forever
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: nickname al Boovey. Hey up, pad him down, check him
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for the buzzer. Yeah, so he is forever branded no
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: matter what he does. And he only got a couple
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of years left in baseball. But al Bouve has been
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: branded as the guy who wouldn't let his jersey get
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: ripped off after a walk off homer in the American
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: League Championship Series in twenty seventeen, a year that he
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: won them most Bogus MVP award of all time. The
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: little fella, he said at the time, I'm shy. I'm shy.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: My wife doesn't like that. Yeah, and if you believe
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that you are the most gullible man in the world. No,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the jersey. He want the jersey riped
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: off because he had a buzzer. Hey, check him for
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the buzzer. Right now. We've heard better excuses. Now, we
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: heard a lot of excuses over these. We have heard
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: better excuses from the guy that gets caught, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: goes home from the night out with the fellows at
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the bar has lipstick all over his collar. There's better
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: excuses from that guy than the Astros with al Buve
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and the buzzer. Right, and you can win all the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: games with every game doesn't matter. Right. You can trot
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: out your shiny roster of players there and all this
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: analytics department brag about that flex and all that, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: your smug little smirks you a holes. It changes nothing,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: right because al Bouve is the pepe le pew of baseball.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Pe you what stakes Albo, that's who stinks. He'll never
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: outrun it. It doesn't matter what the man does. The
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: real ones know the truth. The real ones know the truth.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You can't outrun that stench. You can't do it, can't
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: do it. You're not fast enough. And when people say
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Houston Astros, they don't think of greatness, they don't think
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: of a sustained dynasty. They think another d word, disgrace,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: because that is what that franchise is. So go ahead,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Astro fanboys, celebrate, go got, go, go crazy, knock yourself out,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and I understand you'd be a real team the Dodgers. Congratulations,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Probably cheated while you were doing it, because that's what
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you do. Why would you stop? You got away with
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it baseball indorste it. They ran a big tobacco type
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: campaign to cover for you, so why would you not
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: keep doing it? Right? Nothing has changed, nothing has changed.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: No matter how many wins, go back to the World
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Series again, doesn't matter. Right, doesn't matter. You are forever
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: known as a team that needed a trash can a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: trash can to beat the Dodgers in the World Series
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, didn't even outscore the Dodgers
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and need to go to seven games to win the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: World Series wald cheating. Think about how much better the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen Dodger team was when the Houston team. The
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Houston team was. They were cheating, They knew what was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: coming on most of the pitchers, and the Dodgers took
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: them to a game seven. How embarrassing would have been
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a sweep. Without that would have been a sweep. It's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: gotta suck to if you're an Albouve fan. Albuve is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: not going to the Hall of Fame. He's not. He's not.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: They won't put in Barry Bonds, they won't put in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Roger Clements. Those guys, I'd put them in instead of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: alt Bouve. Maybe when he's dead, like Pete Rose, they'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: put him in the Hall of Fame, all right, now,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: last word, So turning the page from that, we had
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a shakeup in the managerial ranks and the front office
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball. The guillotine, the hammer of death
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: came down, well baseball death in DC. What is your
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction on your knee jerk reaction to the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Nationals saying bye bye and firing Davy Martinez, the manager
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in the GM, Mike Rizzo, who really heroes to us.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You might remember they beat the cheating a holes in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a World Series years ago. Been many years since then,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: So my reaction is what took so long? Right, as
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: far as the Nationals are concerned, the Nats have been
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a hot mess. Now we don't talk about the Nationals.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Why would we, We want people to actually listen. But
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Nationals have been a hot mess, plain and simple.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: They're so bad. How bad are they? Even ostrich Ant,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: who lives in DC and drives a bus around the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: dcra he got a good job, right, union job. He
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: won't even watch the Nationals. That's how much they sucked, right,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And you think about the Nationals. Both these guys, Rizzo
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and Martinez, the GM and the manager are past their
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: expiration date. And that World Series they won, while it
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was glorious and we enjoyed it, it was six years ago,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and the Nationals have been stumbling and bumbling in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: desert of mediocrity without any water ever since then. How
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: bad has it been since the high water mark the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen World Series, the miraculous World Series run the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: team from the Greater DC area, there has posted I believe,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: five straight losing seasons and they are all but guaranteed
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to have number six year and twenty twenty five. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the Nationals Ballpark is not the factory of sadness. It's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the museum of misery, is what it is. They're watching
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the Nationals who have lost that two. They don't have
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that attitude anymore. I don't know where it went. Davy Martinez,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: his comments, that's the big story here. He made some comments.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: We talked about them briefly on the show. Davy Martinez
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: defended his coaching staff with the Nationals. Now to say
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that just ruffled some feathers, that's a bit of an understatement.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of an understatement. He actually apparently torched
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse. The softies in the Washington National Clubhouse. Not
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: only are they bad baseball, they can't take criticism. Now again,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Davy Martinez said, It's never on coaching, he said at
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the time. Never, It's always on the players, Davey Martinez said,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And that is all she wrote. That is all she wrote.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Those cream puffs better known as Nationals players the cream
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: plus she changed her name from Nationals to Creampuffs. Looks
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: like they ripped off a drug stores logo anyway, with
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the w there. So the Creampuff players did not appreciate that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Davey Martinez put the almighty finger blame pointed that right
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in their direction. And so the players were shocked, dismayed,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bewildered and could not handle it. They were pissed off,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and so he lost the clubous Now gim Mike Rizzo.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: We famously fought with him years ago over the usage
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: of Stephen Strasburg. You might remember the Nationals baby Stephen Strasburg.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So he could turn out to retire early anyway, they
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: were saving him so his career would be cut short.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: So he's been with the Nationals for almost twenty years
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in the front office. He was also the general manager
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: over the last almost almost twelve full seasons. I think
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it was sometime in twenty thirteen, and he survived several
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: managers before Davey Martinez and him took their exit strategy
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: there and won the World Series. So you say a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: successful one. They did win the World Series Cup. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: think it was three NL East Tighitos under Mike Rizzo.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: But right now, when you know your time's up, when
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you've been there for as long as Rizzo's been there
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and your baseball team is closer to the Rockies than
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it is to a playoff spot, so good luck on that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And player development, well, none of the guys the Nationals
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: draft turned out to be all that great. The players
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they got from the Padres for Juan Soto, those guys
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: seem to know what they're doing. But they to be fair,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: they do have a cheap owner. I thought the national
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: is going to be sold a couple years ago, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they haven't been sold the same ownership groups there. It's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: been three years. I know it takes a long time
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to sell a multi billion dollar sports entity. It's been
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: been a while, so they got cheap ownership. But there's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: no excuse for the crappy product that is on the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: field there. You know, even you know, your Tampa Bay
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and some of these other teams that don't spend money,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: they still put a team that's somewhat competitive on the field.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: The Nationals are on pace to win sixty eight games,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, this year, and they have no pipeline.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: They need a plunger. The pipelines clogged there. For the Nationals.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It's an unstable franchise. See if that Learner family finally
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: sells the Nationals here. But man, so they just gave
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the mass extermination to everyone. Now he's had a good job. Well,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: there's only thirty, right, there's only thirty baseball teams, or
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: thirty two baseball teams, I think it. So there's not
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: that many baseball teams. So that's it. And they pay
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: pretty well. And DC A lot of people like living
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in DC. If you like hanging out with slimeball politicians
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and people like that, it's nice. I guess outside DC,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm Virginia, Marylands. Some nice plays of lip.

• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Big Apple. July fourth weekend has now come and gone,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and baseball trying to take ownership of the weekend. It
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: was not must see TV for me. Were you enchanted?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Were you enchanted by Major League Baseball? They made that
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a mandate. They got, Well, the NFL and the NBA
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: can over Thanksgiving and over Christmas, but July fourth, Baby,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: there's no NFL games on July fourth, There's no NBA
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: games on July fourth. It's all about the baseball, right,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So they made it a big deal. And to me,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the big deal was the hot dog eating contest. We
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: mentioned that in the fifth Hour podcast The dog Father.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: The greatest athlete in our lifetimes. The Great Joey Chestnutt
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: doing it yet again in Brooklyn over the weekend, but
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: over in Queen's not that far away there. The Mets
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and Yankees wrapped up the weekend series on Sunday, so
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: if you were not watching this, you might have missed it.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge a Judge Tonian thirty third home run and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger, a one time MVP who's now a vagabond
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: outfielder bouncing from team to team. He started a key
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: double play. The Yankees got some help from the umpires,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and they needed it to stop a six game losing streak.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: They did for the moment, stop the bleeding beat the
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Mets six to four on Sunday, All star Max Freed.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: It's amazing a guy signs a big contract actually shows
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: up in pitches and plays well. Max Freed unlike Blake
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Snepp bra playing as I got mon Bro, Blake snout well,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Max Freed went out there risking his life. Apparently he's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: eleven and two and more importantly, the definition of a
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: big time starter is someone where you're losing and you
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: put that guy in the mound, you automatically win. So
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Max Freed in twelve starts after the Yankees had lost
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the game. He's nine and one, nine and one couple
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of non decisions in that. So let us discuss the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: key question here is not so much from the Yankees
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: winning on Sunday, but it's more about the commentary recently
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of the face of the New York Yankee when asked
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: about the recent stretch of futility. Even with that win
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, it's been a bad month for the Yankees.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Going back to the early part of June, when asked
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: if the recent struggles are taking a toll on the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Yankee clubhouse, Aaron Judge simply said, no is what he said.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So how did his response? How did his response work
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: for the electorate in the Bronx. So, I've got Trump National,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Michelin star chef, and Vegan pot luck, and we will
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to make some popcorn, freshly made buttered popcorn. Wonderful, all right?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So number one, Aaron Judge, mister big man on campus there,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: this was cringe worthy. He gets the badge, the Scouts
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: badge for cringe. Aaron Judge does here, mister l Capitan,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the captain of the Yankees, the face of the franchise,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: six foot seven Lumberjack, a human billboard for the Bronx
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Bombers and all that. But he said the thing you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: can't say at the time, you can't say it. And
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: it's not so much about one quote. It's not so
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: much about that. It's about what that particular quote represents.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: It's about the tone. It's about being aware. Situational awareness,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: very important, situational awareness. Now you don't have to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a Navy seal, but you should have situational awareness to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: know that that is not the time nor the place
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to say what Aaron Judge said over the weekend. It's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: about understanding the moment, understanding the fan base, understanding the customers,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: all of that. And Aaron Judge just looked out of place,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: looked out of place, doesn't want to deal with it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So he's gonna kind of run away from the heat
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh no, no, we're fine. Everything is
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: fine here. Absolutely So he's reading off a Q card
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But if you're honest, even with the win against the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Mets on Sunday, the Yankees continue to be a hot mess.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And the one win does not change things here. The
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yankees over their last twenty two games have lost sixteen
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of their last twenty two games. Now, I didn't play
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. I just host an over and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I talked show that sucks. Okay where I sit there,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: she blows, as they say in Pirate Land. So sixteen
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: losses in the last twenty two games for the Yankees,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and you are what your record says you are, and
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of late, that is not a good baseball team. And
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: they're playing like a team going through the motions. You
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: see a lot of the time teams that are eliminated
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: from playoff consideration, and they just kind of lolly gagaround
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: like the whole thing. It's been a boondoggle for the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Yankees lately. And you don't want to hear when you're
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: going through a rough patch like this, everything's fine. You
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. Right, that's not leadership, that's
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: not accountability by Aaron Judge, and it's not even reality
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: is It's just not it's not anything. You're the captain
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of the New York Yankees. You're not playing for the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Toledo mud Hens. You're not. Uh So, the Yankees, the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: mighty New York team. You love the brag or of
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yankee baseball, this, that and the other thing. So you
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: don't just get to strug off, you know, shrug off
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: with a wink and a nod. A bad month of baseball,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like it's a bad round of golf at the Trump
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: National and you just said, well, it was just not
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: my day and my clubs were not we're not working
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the right way. No, you don't get to do that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And you know you got to at least pretend like
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: you're upset. Right, you're the captain of the Yankees. Again,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: when teams losing, the fans are booing and they're unhappy.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You don't get to act like it's business as usual
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: when you're the captain of the yank and you just
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: can't can't be doing it. You're supposed to set the tone.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's where to go. You carry the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: wait and you can't say no to that. When asked
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: if the team's unrappling, it's obviously unraveling, and you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: he said, well, you can say a lot of different cliches,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that's not the one to say, though. He said, well,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it's frustrating we'll be better. We got to be better,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: all those kind of things. But you gotta show some
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: kind of pulse, some kind of pulse and uh right now,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and Judge seem tone death. Seemed tone death. And it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: like he's more worried about his next commercial shoot than
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he is the Yankees, who have fallen behind the Toronto
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays in the American League East stand. He's now
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: page two to Pittsburgh, PA. We go, well, actually Seattle,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: where the Pirates were about as far away from Pittsburgh
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: as they can get over the weekend. And the old
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: sweeperoo bupkis zip bow and zero for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: After shutting out the Cardinals for three games in a row,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they got shut out for three games in a row.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: So that continues a recent stretch, oh the stinkage for
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Pirates, including the game on Sunday started by Paul
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Skeins his last twelve starts. His last twelve starts for
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the Pirates, he has an earned run average. Paul Skins,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the phenom of phenoms, has an earn run average of
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: one point eighty four. We are told, yet his one
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: loss record his last twelve starts one win and five losses,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the buckoes record in those twelve starts. So what does
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: that signify to you? What does that signify to you?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: That's the question. So for me, the er right, the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: king of earn run average and domination situation and all
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: this stuff. The ace the record says, hey, this guy
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is an ACE, but right now, when he's pitching, it's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: like ace Ventura for the rest of the pirates there.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: It's not going so well there, and it's not misleading,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: it's insulting when this guy's pitching and you've only won
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: one of he's only won one of the twelve starts,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and yet he's got an ERA under two and the buckos.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: When you have a pitcher this good, right, it's like
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: you've given a Michelin Star check. You're apparently not able
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to eat at Michelin Star restaurants, court and people I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: work with, But the Michelin Star chef. You give the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: chef a microwave and you say, make it work, right,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: just make it work. Put in the microwave, heat it up.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: But you've got a generational arm, like once in a
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: generation the guy comes along like Paul Skins, and you're
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: essentially backing him with a super soaker water gun is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: what you're doing on offense. And then the Bucos are
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: looking at Picasso and they're using a Picasso. They bought
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a Picasso and they're using it as a coaster on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the end table. It's a nice pocassa. We'll put it
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: down here, we'll put a drink on it, and that's it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And you keep hanging ls and he's pitching great, he's
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: pitching amazingly. And you know, Paul Skins is everything he
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be in terms of the hype and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: all that. And usually these guys don't live up to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the hype. We've ranted about a prospect as a suspect
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: until proven otherwise. And he's done it. And yet the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: pirates are also living up to the hype. Everything we
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: thought the pirates were, they are. When Paul Skins is
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: on the mount. So this stretch, it signifies cut to
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the chase. It signifies that if he keeps us up,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: he is going to need some therapy a trade. Both
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: all of the above, all of that and the pirates
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: who have been given not because if they did any good,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you get Paul Skins because you're bad and you have
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a top pick in the draft, and they had a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: high pick and they got Paul Skins. They've been given
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: this great pitcher and they're gonna blow it it, fletts
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: it away, and then eventually he'll be pitching for the Dodgers,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: of the Yankees, of the Red Sox, and they'll get
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a bag of suspects. All right, now, final point, So
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: flipping the page, we mentioned the trade deadline we talked
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: about last hour. Brian Reynolds of the Pirates. He's he's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: got one hundred million dollars contract, he's not particularly great,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and he's got a no trade list. So the Dodgers
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: who would like to acquire his services cannot trade for
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: him unless he approves the trade because he has them
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: on their no trade list. So I mentioned that because
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: another player who is likely going to be traded Eugenio Suarez,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the third basem Gino Swarez of the Diamondbacks. He is
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: grabbing a lot of attention here before the trade deadline,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and he's got now twenty eight home runs, seventy three RBIs,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners, along with the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers and some other teams all said to be
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: knocking on the door there saying, hey, can we get
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: our hands on this guy? So how does all of
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that sound to you? How does all of that sound
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to you? So to me, Gino swore as the third
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: baseman of the diving right now, he's not just the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: flavor of the month. Here's one things about the trade deadline.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: There's always got to be that flavor, that popular person
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: for popular people. But he's pretty much the entire tasting menu.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: If you look at who's likely going to be traded,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: it was always the surprise. The great thing about sports
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: is anyone can be traded at any time. If you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: don't believe me, ask Luka Doncic about that. The Mavericks
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: just handed him away to the Lakers. So anything is
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: possible in any sport. But here's a guy who's like
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a silver slugger candidate and he's out there and it's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like, hey, this guy could be moved
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: like a bowl of chili at a cookoff. Just get
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: rid of this guy. That's it. And now the trade
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: deadline looming, and it's like a bad hangover for a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: lot of these teams. Here the vultures are out circling around,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and so of course the Yankees, who need a third basement,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: would say, all right, this guy Swarez, let's see we
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: can get him. And it's like the last steak at
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: a vegan pot luck if you're the Yankees. They want
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: to move Jazz Chisholm full time. I'm to second base
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: and DJ Lemayhew to the bench or to the broadcast
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: booth on the S network and just put him out
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: there and have him do his thing. So there is that,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and now the Mariners's that's the perfect Mariner move. They
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: had him, they traded him. He was in Seattle, came
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: over from Cincinnati. They traded him to Arizona. So now
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: they're like, well, maybe we'll get him back. It's like
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: we got that item on Amazon. We returned it, but
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: now we're going to buy it again. We already had it,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: but no, I know we won't. We we didn't appreciate it,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: but now we want it. We want to buy the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: item again. So we'll just do that. And now they're
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: trying to undo the damage. So maybe I'll have a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: reunion tour. And there's some other teams mentioned, and you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it's like the Mariners, though, would be perfect. He's such
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a great classic Mariner move where they trade for a
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: guy that it's like breaking up with your ex and
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: then you watch the X go on and do some
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: really good things and you're like, all right, well, let's
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: see if we can get that get back together with
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the X. And the bottom line, though, he is a
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: rental at the trade down line, which is why these
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: big market teams likely won. And he's also thirty three
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: years old, so he's at the end of his athletic
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: prime and not hitting for much of an average, but
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that's a boomer stat. That's an old head stat. That
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: batting average, twenty eight hole runs, and the numbers all
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: indicate that he's still uber productive, still one of the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: better offensive power hitters in baseball, and the kind of
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a player that in a playoff run could play well
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks in October and all of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you get a hunk of metal.
• 35:32

• 35:47
  Speaker 5: The Miami Dolphins had one of the top offensives in
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: the NFL in twenty twenty three, but missed the playoffs
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: last year the summer saying the team is teetering on
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: the edge of a franchise reset. But do you think
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: the jobs of Tua and McDaniel are on the line
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: next season?
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Well, as you heard last week, I know you weren't here,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: but I know you listen to the show because you're
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: producing it. So I did a full mallar monologue about
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: this particular topic. And as I pointed out in that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Mallard monologue can available on the podcast download absolutely to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: and Mike McDaniel and the GM there, all of them.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: This is it. This is the last chance saloon there
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Even Stevin Meatballs can see that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Next cal Raley has reached new career high in home
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: runs for a single season and we haven't even reached
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: the All Star break. In fact, he's tied Ken Griffy
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Junior's Mariners record for most dingers before the break. Do
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: you think the al MVP is the big numbers to lose.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: No, because the Mariners are a playoff team. They're a
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: wild kid team. So are the Yankees. But Aaron Judge
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: is in the lead and he's It would be a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: monumental upset if Aaron Judge does not win the MVP
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Award in the Americanly and Cal Rawley's been great and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: wonderful and all that, but he plays in Seattle. That's
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: going to hurt him.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Next, the Suns gave Devin Booker another extension. He's gonna
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: be signed with them through twenty thirty. With Durant now
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: in Houston, the Suns are in rebuild mode. Do you
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: think that Booker is a player worth building around?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Well? They can try. They were in the finals against Milwaukee.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: They couldn't get it done. They're not gonna win with
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Devin Booker as their headliner. It's not gonna work. How
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: do we do passes?
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: There?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: It is? That's a win putter on the board.
