- 0:21Speaker 2: was a failure. Also, what's the lesson from Vladimir Guerrero
- 0:26Speaker 2: of Toronto winning the ALCS MVP honors.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We'll discuss that.
- 0:30Speaker 2: And now that we know the matchup, what letter grade
- 0:34Speaker 2: do you put on the twenty twenty five World Series
- 0:37Speaker 2: with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
- 0:39Speaker 1: We get to.
- 0:40Speaker 2: All of that and more right now here. It is
- 0:44Speaker 2: our number one. Some Canadian bacon, the Mariners apparently not
- 0:57Speaker 2: enjoying that Canadian bacon. Welcome in the beginning of another
- 1:04Speaker 2: night of the Ben Maler Show.
- 1:06Speaker 1: As we are in the air.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Everywhere, homeboys hanging out together here as we stay demented
- 1:16Speaker 2: coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
- 1:20Speaker 2: vast and pleasantly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
- 1:27Speaker 2: the ticket as we punch our ticket. Well, the Blue
- 1:31Speaker 2: Jays did to the next round a higher level from
- 1:34Speaker 2: the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by
- 1:38Speaker 2: FSR alumni member and Toronto resident Canadian Mike who.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Out of the blue, he used to work here.
- 1:44Speaker 2: It's actually one of the few people I like to
- 1:46Speaker 2: work here, Canadian Mike, and he lives in Toronto, and
- 1:48Speaker 2: he sent me a random text message. It's like, wow,
- 1:51Speaker 2: that's kind of cool. I like that guy. I wonder
- 1:53Speaker 2: what happened to him because he's Canada dry now hanging
- 1:56Speaker 2: out there in Toronto. But he messages me, and of
- 1:58Speaker 2: course our sympathy to to Robbie the Mariner fan crying
- 2:03Speaker 2: Craig who's crying right now? You could hear that sound
- 2:06Speaker 2: at the end of the baseball game JJ in Renton,
- 2:08Speaker 2: who assumed the Mariners we're gonna lose. No stret Denis.
- 2:11Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember everyone in Seattle. We had a
- 2:13Speaker 2: lot of guys that love the show in Seattle. I
- 2:15Speaker 2: can't remember everyone. But this portion of the Ben Maler
- 2:18Speaker 2: Show made possible in part by our friends at tire
- 2:20Speaker 2: i Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack has been
- 2:23Speaker 2: helping customers find the right tires. For customers like alf
- 2:26Speaker 2: and Fergluck find the right tires for how what and
- 2:28Speaker 2: where they drive ship fast and free back by free
- 2:31Speaker 2: road hazard protection with convenience installation options like mobile tire
- 2:35Speaker 2: installation tire iraq dot com. The way the tire buying
- 2:39Speaker 2: should be. So our lead this hour is from obviously Toronto.
- 2:43Speaker 2: It was the eye in the bullseye of Major League Baseball,
- 2:49Speaker 2: the final chapter, Game number seven of the American League
- 2:54Speaker 2: Championship Series the Mariners and the Blue Jays. Twenty seven outs,
- 2:58Speaker 2: nine innings, one game winner gets the Dodgers in the
- 3:05Speaker 2: Fall Classic. It was on Fox. You had Joe Davis
- 3:09Speaker 2: and John Momentum Smoltz on the call. Although I have
- 3:15Speaker 2: noticed these last couple of games. Ever since I did
- 3:18Speaker 2: my Mallard monologue mocking the momentum that was mentioned every
- 3:21Speaker 2: ten minutes on the game, he hasn't mentioned it as much,
- 3:25Speaker 2: although I did hear it in every broadcast I watched.
- 3:29Speaker 2: There were two Monday night games and I heard it
- 3:32Speaker 2: halftime the Buccaneers had all the momentum because they scored
- 3:36Speaker 2: a field goal before halftime. I heard that. I judge
- 3:40Speaker 2: me anyway, So Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the
- 3:42Speaker 2: call that was on Fox Sports one. I don't know
- 3:44Speaker 2: if you're watching it or not. Perhaps not, but don't worry.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I actually I loved it. I mean Game seven. Yeah,
- 3:51Speaker 2: I mean some of these things I watch, I'm not
- 3:52Speaker 2: gonna lie to you.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I hate them.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I get paid to do that. But some of these
- 3:55Speaker 2: games I watch them like, this sucks, but I kind
- 3:57Speaker 2: of have.
- 3:57Speaker 1: To watch it. This I enjoyed watching until the end.
- 4:01Speaker 2: When cheating a one thousand and two one thousand hole,
- 4:09Speaker 2: George Springer hit a go ahead dinger.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Springer the dinger.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I wonder if there was a bang, bang or a
- 4:17Speaker 2: whistle whistle for the cheating a hole the go ahead
- 4:21Speaker 2: three run home run in the seventh inning to turn
- 4:25Speaker 2: the game around and Toronto advances to the World Series
- 4:29Speaker 2: for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Holy Holy Canoley,
- 4:38Speaker 2: get the poutine ready, baby, So they rallied to beat
- 4:42Speaker 2: Seattle four to three in the final in Game seven
- 4:44Speaker 2: of the American League Championship Series on Monday night. Vladimir
- 4:49Speaker 2: Guerrero and the Blue Jays will host they have home
- 4:53Speaker 2: field advantage host Shohel Tani and the Dodgers Game one
- 5:00Speaker 2: on Friday night. It's on like Donkey Kong in Toronto
- 5:05Speaker 2: as the Blue Jays representing the World Series in Canada
- 5:09Speaker 2: for the third time. As they they would say, we
- 5:13Speaker 2: would have won a third time in a row. But
- 5:15Speaker 2: there was a baseball workstoppage and all that. But the
- 5:18Speaker 2: early nineties Blue Jays were legit. And that's a long
- 5:20Speaker 2: time ago, and you got to be old to have
- 5:23Speaker 2: remembered the Blue Jays when they were good. And now
- 5:24Speaker 2: they're good again in the World Series. And so we
- 5:27Speaker 2: have plenty of time to discuss as they take on
- 5:30Speaker 2: the Dodgers, who swept the Brewers in the NLCS.
- 5:33Speaker 1: We have all week to talk about that.
- 5:35Speaker 2: The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
- 5:38Speaker 2: and so that is where we will begin. And the
- 5:42Speaker 2: Mariners gagged away a three to one lead in the
- 5:45Speaker 2: seventh and eighth They fell eight outs away, eight out
- 5:51Speaker 2: short of their first World Series of parents. They did
- 5:54Speaker 2: get home runs from Jay Rod and Calraley. Cal Raley
- 5:58Speaker 2: went yard there. Uh, And so but the Manors lose.
- 6:02Speaker 1: They lose.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Now, Dan Wilson, who is he gonna shave that mustache?
- 6:07Speaker 1: God, I'll shave it for him anyway.
- 6:08Speaker 2: He's the manager of the Mariners, Dan Wilson, And he
- 6:11Speaker 2: was asked, you've just lost the American League Pennant in
- 6:15Speaker 2: Game seven. You've choked away a series, losing five five
- 6:19Speaker 2: of the final six games, or four of the final
- 6:23Speaker 2: six games. Good job by you, Good math by meuh
- 6:25Speaker 2: win the first to lose four of the final five
- 6:28Speaker 2: to lose the series.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Anyway, here's Dan Wilson on his Mariner message.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Just to hold up their heads and and and you know,
- 6:35Speaker 3: to understand what kind of a season they had. I mean,
- 6:38Speaker 3: I know this stings, and there's no question that it's
- 6:40Speaker 3: gonna sting. But the kind of season they had, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 3: doing things that no team in this organization has ever done.
- 6:49Speaker 3: And and you know, knocking on the door of a
- 6:51Speaker 3: world series all that, you know, it's it's it's due
- 6:57Speaker 3: to how hard they've worked, how hard they've played all
- 6:59Speaker 3: season long, all the times they've come back, all the
- 7:02Speaker 3: times they've bounced back. It's a special team in there,
- 7:05Speaker 3: and it's a shame we had to come out on
- 7:07Speaker 3: the wrong side of this one.
- 7:09Speaker 2: So that's a bad quote. Your professional athlete, your job
- 7:13Speaker 2: is to play hard. I don't give you any credit
- 7:15Speaker 2: for that. I give you no credit. Meanwhile, the money
- 7:18Speaker 2: quote is from the Big Dumper, Cal Raley, mister dinger,
- 7:22Speaker 2: this was his career year. He'll never play this well
- 7:24Speaker 2: again for a full season.
- 7:25Speaker 1: This is it. This is the high water mark for
- 7:27Speaker 1: cal Raleigh. And they didn't win the pennant.
- 7:30Speaker 2: They lose to Toronto in Game seven and cal ralely dropped
- 7:33Speaker 2: a truth bomb post game.
- 7:35Speaker 1: You know, I hate to use the word failure, but
- 7:37Speaker 1: it's a failure.
- 7:39Speaker 4: I mean, that's.
- 7:40Speaker 5: What we expected just to get to the World Series,
- 7:43Speaker 5: win World Series, and that's you know what the bar
- 7:45Speaker 5: is and the standard is, and you know it's what
- 7:47Speaker 5: we want to hold ourselves accountable too.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But yeah, that's it urts, all right. So that's a
- 7:54Speaker 1: great jumping off point right there. I like that. That's
- 7:57Speaker 1: the money quote.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs
- 8:02Speaker 2: down on cal Raley saying the Mariner season was a failure.
- 8:08Speaker 2: So I've got Rodent blue Chew and Alfred Hitchcock and
- 8:14Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 8:17Speaker 2: are gonna make a delicious, wonderful trip to Cancun with
- 8:24Speaker 2: all all expenses paid.
- 8:26Speaker 1: It's gonna be wonderful because that's where the Manners are going.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Well, the Blue Jays are getting made for the World
- 8:29Speaker 2: Series on Friday, the Mariners can go on a nice
- 8:32Speaker 2: tropical vacation. So ay, I love this. I love the
- 8:36Speaker 2: cal Rally quote. I really do thumbs up. In fact,
- 8:40Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna go not just thumbs up, I'm
- 8:42Speaker 2: gonna go thumbs all.
- 8:43Speaker 1: The way up to the mountain to the mo All right.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Big dumper gets it. Good job by you. I was
- 8:49Speaker 2: expecting the standard chow when a team loses in this
- 8:55Speaker 2: type of environment. There was no puffy sticker being handed
- 8:59Speaker 2: out to the to the Seattle manners.
- 9:01Speaker 1: No aw shucks. They blew it. That's what it is.
- 9:05Speaker 1: We're all grown ups here. They blew it. If it
- 9:08Speaker 1: looks like a rodent, and it smells like a rodent,
- 9:12Speaker 1: it's a rodent. And that's it.
- 9:14Speaker 2: They were up two to zero in the American League
- 9:16Speaker 2: Championship Series. They had won both games, both games in Toronto.
- 9:22Speaker 2: They had three games at home. Boom boom, boom, and
- 9:26Speaker 2: they left it up. They screwed it up. And they
- 9:30Speaker 2: had one hand already on the World Series ticket and
- 9:34Speaker 2: they dropped it. They dropped it, and they screwed it up.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And that's the gag. They choked. It's called what it is.
- 9:41Speaker 2: The Seattle Manners choked in the American League Championship Series.
- 9:45Speaker 2: From Game three through the rest of the series, the
- 9:49Speaker 2: Seattle baseball team was outscored thirty three to seventeen. They
- 9:54Speaker 2: were almost doubled up by Toronto, the pratt fall for
- 9:58Speaker 2: the ages. For this Seattle Mariner. They didn't just lose
- 10:01Speaker 2: by a little bit. Once they stopped playing, that was it.
- 10:06Speaker 1: They're not the last.
- 10:07Speaker 2: The parties over losing their Augusto and losing with some rasthmatas.
- 10:14Speaker 2: When you think about it, they and then they still
- 10:16Speaker 2: had eight outs to go in Game seven, eight out,
- 10:19Speaker 2: so I eight out, so you win the pennant, you
- 10:22Speaker 2: get the champagne and the Blue Jays zapped their lumber.
- 10:27Speaker 2: And the person who's not a household name, so it's
- 10:30Speaker 2: likely a name that only a few of us will remember.
- 10:32Speaker 2: But the one that has to wear this for effing
- 10:36Speaker 2: it up as Edward Bizardo, Eduardo Bizardo, who was just bad,
- 10:43Speaker 2: who apparently was good. I don't I didn't watch him
- 10:45Speaker 2: pitch much of a leaf pitcher for the Mariners, but
- 10:48Speaker 2: on this night he earns those novelty you know, the
- 10:51Speaker 2: plastic aircraft wings when you fly the vomit comet and
- 10:55Speaker 2: he gets those. So congratulations to Bizardo who screwed things up.
- 10:59Speaker 2: He gave up the home run to the cheater. He
- 11:01Speaker 2: sucked at a time you cannot suck. And cal Raley
- 11:05Speaker 2: is right again, this is just to put the ball
- 11:07Speaker 2: on this. It is a failure. And we appreciate that
- 11:10Speaker 2: he did not immediately run to the gram and write
- 11:13Speaker 2: some proud of you boys, some kind of that bull
- 11:16Speaker 2: crap post a bunch of crying emojis or something like
- 11:19Speaker 2: that to mine.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Maybe he did. I didn't see it.
- 11:23Speaker 2: So he stood up and he said it, and you know,
- 11:26Speaker 2: it doesn't change the fact the Manners choked. But at
- 11:30Speaker 2: least you had the guts to say, put what really
- 11:33Speaker 2: happened out there and not try to spin it. It
- 11:36Speaker 2: was a failure. Boom done, and that's accountability. Good job
- 11:41Speaker 2: by you, cal Raley.
- 11:42Speaker 1: It had an amazing year and you lived up to
- 11:45Speaker 1: the big contract you got. Good job by you.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The bar is not the American League Championship Series participation banner.
- 11:52Speaker 2: It's the World Series, and the Mariners continue to be
- 11:55Speaker 2: the only team that has not made the World Series.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Every other member of the cartel has made the World Series. Now,
- 12:03Speaker 2: in the next five to ten years, probably next five years,
- 12:06Speaker 2: they're going to add an expansion team or two, so
- 12:09Speaker 2: it'll be two other teams that haven't made the World Series,
- 12:11Speaker 2: and then those two teams will make the World Series
- 12:13Speaker 2: and the Mariner still will not have made the World Series,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and it'll be even more embarrassing. But that's the way
- 12:17Speaker 2: we are. So the weight continues as they are pennantless
- 12:21Speaker 2: in Seattle. Meanwhile, in the winners locker room, not as good,
- 12:26Speaker 2: not as good as story. The question what is the
- 12:29Speaker 2: lesson from Vladimir Guerrero winning American League Championship Series ENVP
- 12:36Speaker 2: honors for Toronto?
- 12:38Speaker 1: What's the lesson here?
- 12:39Speaker 2: So this is classic baseball in October playoff baseball. We
- 12:44Speaker 2: were talking about this series in real time and after
- 12:47Speaker 2: two games of the ascis, what was the talking point. Well,
- 12:50Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero has had seven at bats, He's zero for seven.
- 12:55Speaker 2: We had the stats against the Yankees. He hit the
- 12:58Speaker 2: crap out of the ball against everyone else. After two
- 13:00Speaker 2: games he was batting one hundred or something like that,
- 13:03Speaker 2: one o three against everyone else in the playoffs other
- 13:05Speaker 2: than the Yankees.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Flatty was a battie and not a good way. Not
- 13:11Speaker 1: a good way.
- 13:12Speaker 2: And then you know the hot take machine, which I'm
- 13:14Speaker 2: part of the industrial complex of the hot take in
- 13:17Speaker 2: a small part of it. I don't work day shift.
- 13:19Speaker 2: If I day shift, i'd be a big part of it.
- 13:20Speaker 2: I work overnights.
- 13:22Speaker 1: So this is where the real hot takes are developed.
- 13:25Speaker 1: In the kitchen. We cook them up hot and we
- 13:27Speaker 1: piping hot right out of them.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Anyway, so revving up the hot take machine, it was spicy,
- 13:32Speaker 2: so everyone was ready to stick the fraud label on
- 13:37Speaker 2: the back of Vladimir Guerrero and then boom goes to
- 13:41Speaker 2: dynamite or in this case wrecket Ralph or wrecket Vlattie
- 13:45Speaker 2: as he went turbo time, which is a reminder now
- 13:48Speaker 2: we have a daily talk show to do a nightly
- 13:50Speaker 2: talk show, so it is a reminder of it's not
- 13:52Speaker 2: how you start, it is how you finish. And this
- 13:56Speaker 2: was a turbotastic ending for Vladimir Guerrero. The blue Chew
- 14:01Speaker 2: or the Blue jay Chew fixed whatever issue he may
- 14:05Speaker 2: or may not have had here doing the mal or math.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero Junior batted the final five games of the
- 14:12Speaker 2: ALC has batted five twenty six. That's Beer League softball
- 14:18Speaker 2: for Vladimir Guerrero with three home runs, scored six runs,
- 14:21Speaker 2: had three runs batted in. And that's why you pay stars.
- 14:25Speaker 2: You pay them to perform like that. Not all of
- 14:27Speaker 2: them do. Many of them do not perform at that level.
- 14:30Speaker 2: And Guerrero did not need to be perfect. He was
- 14:33Speaker 2: not perfect at the beginning obviously sucked. He just needed
- 14:36Speaker 2: to be there when it mattered. And that's the other
- 14:39Speaker 2: lesson from all this. And I've known this for many,
- 14:42Speaker 2: many years, but it's it's amnesia. It's October amnesia that
- 14:47Speaker 2: happens every year. It's like, I'll give you a shoel.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Toney was trash in the playoffs with the Dodgers. Everyone
- 14:55Speaker 2: right now is licking every crevice of his body because
- 14:58Speaker 2: of the game he had in the close out game
- 15:00Speaker 2: against the Brewers.
- 15:01Speaker 1: But he was terrible for the postseason up until that game.
- 15:05Speaker 2: But that's what people arenna remember that, canna remember how
- 15:07Speaker 2: Toddy was sucked before that.
- 15:08Speaker 1: They're gonna, oh my god, did you.
- 15:10Speaker 2: See the game yet? The greatest game of all time?
- 15:12Speaker 2: I got my pants down that they're so excited about that.
- 15:15Speaker 2: So they'll forget the other stif And Guerrero's a great example.
- 15:18Speaker 2: He was terrible for the first two games, but October
- 15:21Speaker 2: amnesia kicks in and he was there at the end.
- 15:24Speaker 2: He delivered for games three, four, five, six, and seven,
- 15:29Speaker 2: although it was one for four in this game in
- 15:31Speaker 2: game seven, but he didn't melt under the bright lights
- 15:34Speaker 2: of October there and so I guess he just needed
- 15:37Speaker 2: a couple of games to heat up the old engine.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Not the last word, big picture, all right, big picture.
- 15:45Speaker 1: We now have the match up. The matchup is set.
- 15:48Speaker 2: We've got a team representing an entire tire country because
- 15:52Speaker 2: baseball let the Expos leave Montreal, so we've got Toronto
- 15:56Speaker 2: and La.
- 15:58Speaker 1: What letter great?
- 16:00Speaker 2: What letter grade do you put on the twenty twenty
- 16:03Speaker 2: five World Series matchup? First glance Dodgers and Blue Jays,
- 16:07Speaker 2: So first glance on the Mather report card, I give
- 16:11Speaker 2: it a B.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a B. It's not an A.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I can't give it an A. It's a B. It's
- 16:19Speaker 1: like a B minus World Series. It's a B.
- 16:24Speaker 2: It is a matchup that has some juice. And I
- 16:26Speaker 2: was thinking about it as I was making the long
- 16:28Speaker 2: trip in here. To the hallowed hallways of Fox Sports
- 16:31Speaker 2: Radio where legends have worked. Here in the old Steve
- 16:33Speaker 2: Harvey studio we're in now where he did his show
- 16:36Speaker 2: and then crossed the way there. The other studio we're
- 16:38Speaker 2: in is the where Limbaud did his show when he
- 16:39Speaker 2: was in La like legends of radio. So I come
- 16:41Speaker 2: in here and the storylines are bubbling up for the
- 16:46Speaker 2: Fall Classic.
- 16:47Speaker 1: They are What are they?
- 16:48Speaker 2: You've got some stars, You've got a villain, You've got history,
- 16:54Speaker 2: all of that stuff mixed together. You've got Otani, the
- 16:57Speaker 2: biggest global star in baseball who's representing Japan, right, biggest
- 17:04Speaker 2: thing in the world there for Japanese baseball fans, and
- 17:07Speaker 2: you got him playing in his second World Series. And oh,
- 17:10Speaker 2: by the way, even though the Dodgers won last year, Otani,
- 17:13Speaker 2: you're not supposed to say this part. He wasn't very good.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Oh I said it. Oh my god, I said it.
- 17:18Speaker 1: That's why I'm on overnight. I said it.
- 17:19Speaker 2: I said it the daytime. Guys would lick his toes.
- 17:22Speaker 2: He sucked in the World Series last year. There, I
- 17:24Speaker 2: said it. Okay, anyway, so he's got a chance at redemption,
- 17:27Speaker 2: all right, And we also have that other story, the
- 17:30Speaker 2: catfish story. We all got catfished when Otani was a
- 17:34Speaker 2: free agent.
- 17:35Speaker 1: You remember this.
- 17:36Speaker 2: I was thinking about this when I was coming in here.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I was like Otani when he was a free agent
- 17:39Speaker 2: and nobody knew where it was gonna go. And there
- 17:42Speaker 2: was that infamous private jet story.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Do you remember this Otani to Toronto?
- 17:48Speaker 2: John Morosi MLB insider tracking the tail number essentially of
- 17:53Speaker 2: Otani's private plane leaving the airport in southern California like
- 17:58Speaker 2: it was Air Force one heading to Toronto, and everyone,
- 18:01Speaker 2: we're all excited and turned out, No, that was almost
- 18:05Speaker 2: as good as Arson Judge going to the Giants. That
- 18:07Speaker 2: was a John Hayman f up by him. So now
- 18:10Speaker 2: it comes full circle. Now it is full circle. We
- 18:14Speaker 2: know obviously Otani's with the Dodgers and all that he
- 18:17Speaker 2: didn't go to Toronto, and now he is standing between
- 18:20Speaker 2: Toronto and a World Series trophy, and that is an
- 18:26Speaker 2: interesting wrinkle to this World Series. Then you've got Vladdy
- 18:29Speaker 2: Guerrero Junior, who has turned into the Oracle of October
- 18:34Speaker 2: as Vladdie is your daddy, hitting four forty even those
- 18:40Speaker 2: two zero for seven, the two games, oh hitting four
- 18:42Speaker 2: to forty. He's leading baseball in every key number. Yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 2: he is caring Toronto. This is like David Ortiz type
- 18:50Speaker 2: stuff when he was with the Red Sox back in
- 18:52Speaker 2: the day. I guess Laddy's gonna end up on Fox
- 18:55Speaker 2: eventually doing baseball coverage on TV. So uh, there's no
- 18:59Speaker 2: such thing as more. But he's on a heater, that's
- 19:01Speaker 2: what the kids say. He's a cartoon. Crooked numbers there
- 19:05Speaker 2: for Vladimir Guerrero Junior, number twenty seven in your program,
- 19:07Speaker 2: but number one in your heart for the Blue Jays.
- 19:10Speaker 2: And let's not forget the real thing about this world
- 19:13Speaker 2: series that stands out like a sore thumb.
- 19:17Speaker 1: The villain.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Now, you might think the Dodgers are the villains because
- 19:20Speaker 2: they spend all the money, They've got all the good players.
- 19:23Speaker 1: No, now would be wrong.
- 19:24Speaker 6: The villain a cheating, a strout.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, George Efen Springer forever an a hole, forever
- 19:39Speaker 2: a cheater. He's been branded a dirty dog. He's a
- 19:44Speaker 2: dirty dog, George Springer, And every Dodger fan in Chevezravine
- 19:47Speaker 2: when the series gets to La will serenade him. Right
- 19:51Speaker 2: they still remember I was getting text from people that
- 19:54Speaker 2: were sending me messages from the twenty seventeen period of time.
- 19:57Speaker 2: There that wretched World Series. Bine bining, whistle whistle. How
- 20:02Speaker 2: about this? Check him for the buzzer. How do we
- 20:05Speaker 2: know he wasn't wearing a buzzer? Every time Springer walks
- 20:08Speaker 2: up to the plate, he's going to get the Alfred
- 20:11Speaker 2: Hitchcock treatment.
- 20:13Speaker 1: You know what that is. That's going to be the birds,
- 20:17Speaker 1: the boo birds is what he's going to get there.
- 20:20Speaker 2: And a reminder for those of you that are a
- 20:22Speaker 2: little slow and dumb, George Springer, Jose al Boove, and
- 20:30Speaker 2: Alex Bregman, the three headless horsemen of the Apocalypse of baseball,
- 20:36Speaker 2: the greatest single scandal in the history of North American sport.
- 20:39Speaker 2: They got away with it, the whole dirt bag crew,
- 20:44Speaker 2: all of them, and Rob Manford, who should have dropped
- 20:48Speaker 2: the hammer on them. Instead he did nothing because he's
- 20:52Speaker 2: locking balls. He doesn't have any balls. Otherwise he would
- 20:56Speaker 2: have punished them. But they all should have been banned
- 20:58Speaker 2: for life. Springer should have been banned for baseball for life.
- 21:02Speaker 2: That home run that happened in Game seven of the
- 21:04Speaker 2: alc has should not have been allowed to happen because
- 21:07Speaker 2: he would have had no eve him selling insurance or
- 21:10Speaker 2: doing something to get a real job. But because the
- 21:13Speaker 2: commission's got no spine, George Springer Altuve bregnant, all those
- 21:17Speaker 2: other cheeks are allowed in baseball.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And it makes me want to vomit. I want a puke.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And so now some justice as he goes into Dodger
- 21:27Speaker 2: Stadium and he'd be sarreing anything, I'll lose the World Series.
- 21:29Speaker 2: The Dodgers are winning the World Series, and so that's great,
- 21:31Speaker 2: and they'll boom and they'll serenade him installationous. He's the
- 21:35Speaker 2: bad guy, so that's good. And but so it gets
- 21:40Speaker 2: a bee because I mean it's Toronto. I can't go
- 21:43Speaker 2: higher than a bee with Toronto. I can't do that.
- 21:45Speaker 2: But it's got star power. It's got that we mentioned,
- 21:47Speaker 2: it's got the villain. You've got the redemption arc with
- 21:50Speaker 2: Otani after sucking in the World Series last year. So
- 21:53Speaker 2: there's a full plate of drama. And O'ton's obviously the
- 21:58Speaker 2: biggest star. But Vladi's gone nuclear here of late for
- 22:01Speaker 2: the Blue Jays here, and you got the rich kid Dodgers.
- 22:04Speaker 2: See this is tough, Like if you hate the Dodgers.
- 22:07Speaker 2: But you like love America? Are you gonna like pull
- 22:10Speaker 2: for Toronto? This is there, that's Canadas team.
- 22:13Speaker 1: What do you do?
- 22:14Speaker 2: It's Hollywood versus Hockey Town, Boo Springer, You've got will
- 22:18Speaker 2: Vladdie Rake versus that Dodgers starting pitching, the Otani Mania

- 25:22Speaker 2: Milkman Mike in Colorado right since, has fantastic opening monologue
- 25:27Speaker 2: setting up for a fantastic five game World Series with
- 25:31Speaker 2: the Doyers climbing the mountain once again, while cal Raley
- 25:36Speaker 2: can just sit on a bench and does his best
- 25:39Speaker 2: Van Dam scream, So he said. Shannon de Moin writes,
- 25:43Speaker 2: and he's a Seattle sports fan. He's in the moy
- 25:46Speaker 2: and he says, well, I have a lot of thoughts
- 25:49Speaker 2: on the Seahawks versus Texas and the Mariners versus Blue Jays.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I will just say this, My Seattle teams are in
- 25:56Speaker 2: my heart, soul and blood, and nothing said on these
- 25:59Speaker 2: airways or social media will change that.
- 26:03Speaker 1: There you go.
- 26:04Speaker 2: I don't think I said anything that was like overly
- 26:07Speaker 2: offensive about the Seattle man.
- 26:09Speaker 1: I I did that. Also, he wants to know the
- 26:12Speaker 1: new Utah mammoth mascot. What do you think?
- 26:17Speaker 2: And they have it's a mammoth. That's a mascot there,
- 26:21Speaker 2: the Utah Mammoth. I feel like it's too fluffy. They're
- 26:27Speaker 2: trying to combine the fanatic into a mammoth and it
- 26:32Speaker 2: needs to be a little fatter. I could have done better,
- 26:36Speaker 2: could have better? A ferg Dog writes in, and he says,
- 26:38Speaker 2: should the Blue Jays really be celebrating the championship in
- 26:43Speaker 2: the American legu tonight? All?
- 26:45Speaker 1: They won our front row seats to a beat down
- 26:48Speaker 1: by the Dodgers.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Rest assured Robbie, the Mariner fan and the Dodgers will
- 26:53Speaker 2: avenge you.
- 26:53Speaker 1: By way.
- 26:53Speaker 2: I'm looking at my board here, not a single Mariner fan,
- 26:57Speaker 2: not a I shocked, but I thought they'd all.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Be lined up. I can't believe I got a packed
- 27:02Speaker 1: board I don't have one Mariner fan. Amazing. I'm sure
- 27:05Speaker 1: they're very sad.
- 27:07Speaker 2: They're sad. Yeah, well, I know we're on in the
- 27:09Speaker 2: Toronto area as well. I mean they're out drinking and
- 27:12Speaker 2: celebrating and frolicking. So that's why they're not calling. But
- 27:14Speaker 2: the Mariner fans, I thought they'd call up here and
- 27:17Speaker 2: have somebody, he said, But no, Nature Boy writes in
- 27:20Speaker 2: Answering the Call of a while, he says, the greatest
- 27:22Speaker 2: fear for all Dodger fans is possibly losing again to
- 27:26Speaker 2: another on another Springer Dinger. Yeah, is it true that
- 27:35Speaker 2: the Dodgers are going to take all trash cans out
- 27:38Speaker 2: of Dodger Stadium out of Dodger Stadium to prevent George
- 27:42Speaker 2: Springer from cheating in the twenty twenty five World Series?
- 27:47Speaker 1: Is it also true? Is it also true.
- 27:49Speaker 2: That Dodgers are going to have him go through a
- 27:51Speaker 2: metal detector when he comes up the home plate.
- 27:54Speaker 1: That check him for the buzzar?
- 27:56Speaker 2: And is it also true that they are going to
- 27:59Speaker 2: ban all whistles from LA for the World Series so
- 28:03Speaker 2: Springer will not be able to use any of the.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Contraband that he used when he should have been banned
- 28:09Speaker 1: for life.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Does anyone disagree with that band for life for cheating
- 28:12Speaker 2: in the World series?
- 28:13Speaker 1: Cheeta Chitta Jeddar, Cheeta Jitna Jeddar. What else did we have?
- 28:17Speaker 2: That's the Ryan writes in He says, which caller will ask,
- 28:20Speaker 2: when did the Angels trade Vlad Guerrero to the Blue Jays?
- 28:25Speaker 1: See?
- 28:25Speaker 2: Well, if anyone's gonna do, it's probably be like Holloween
- 28:27Speaker 2: James and he's on hold Yaphimi says, the Doyers will
- 28:31Speaker 2: make justice for the Cubbies and the Mariners. That's right,
- 28:36Speaker 2: Cubs fans for Dodgers, Cubs fans for Dodgers.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Eileen says, I.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Never thought we'd be rooting for blank, blank Canada, but
- 28:46Speaker 2: my San Francisco buds and I are forever anti Dodgers
- 28:51Speaker 2: and anti degenerate gambler Otani.
- 28:54Speaker 1: So go Blue Jays, Go Blue Jays.
- 28:58Speaker 2: I've in the terrible right now, said from Houston, He says, Ben,
- 29:01Speaker 2: I agree with you at those guys all should have
- 29:04Speaker 2: been banned from baseball. That is, I give you credit. Ivan,
- 29:07Speaker 2: I thought you'd say something else about the cheating a holes,
- 29:10Speaker 2: being that you're in the belly of the Beast. But
- 29:12Speaker 2: I give you credit. Ivan's coming around. I'm in the
- 29:14Speaker 2: terrible pointing out. He says that George Springer, Regman and
- 29:18Speaker 2: Altuve are all clowns and they should all be kicked
- 29:22Speaker 2: out of baseball.
- 29:23Speaker 1: And it's a shame that Rob Manford did.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Not have the balls to kick them out of baseball,
- 29:29Speaker 2: he says, or something close to that. Scott, a well
- 29:33Speaker 2: known comedian, rights and Seattle should launch an investigation into
- 29:36Speaker 2: George Springer's homer, he says, But Commissioner Rob Manford was
- 29:40Speaker 2: squashing No. No, Manford would practice as golf swing. Say,
- 29:43Speaker 2: what do you want me to do? I got a
- 29:45Speaker 2: party in the Hamptons. I gotta go to I can't
- 29:46Speaker 2: be bothered by they. I gotta go out to Long Island.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Come on, man, I gotta get out of Manhattan and
- 29:50Speaker 2: I get I take a helicopter at the Long Island.
- 29:52Speaker 2: I can't be bothered with punishing it. What do you
- 29:55Speaker 2: want me to do? What is wrong with you? Shame
- 29:58Speaker 2: on you anyway. It is the Ben mauache I mentioned
- 30:02Speaker 2: some blue Jay porn. There's a photo going around of
- 30:06Speaker 2: a couple of legends, Joey Batts, who never got this
- 30:10Speaker 2: far for the Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero. They
- 30:13Speaker 2: were on the field there as the Jays have advanced
- 30:16Speaker 2: to the World Series and now Vladimir Guerrero Junior tied
- 30:21Speaker 2: for the most postseason home runs in the history of
- 30:26Speaker 2: the Toronto Blue Jays as he hit another another dinger,
- 30:31Speaker 2: another dinger.
- 30:32Speaker 1: The other night, not in this game. The Blue Jays
- 30:35Speaker 1: get it done. Cal Raley has.
- 30:37Speaker 2: The most home runs by I guess he and Aaron
- 30:42Speaker 2: Judge were neck and neck, but he did hit a
- 30:43Speaker 2: home run in this game, but not enough there. As
- 30:47Speaker 2: of Vladimir Gerril Junior, the first ALCS MVP since Paul
- 30:52Speaker 2: Konerko in twenty oh five to finish the series with
- 30:56Speaker 2: a negative win probability added. So the nerds don't like that.
- 31:02Speaker 2: The nerds I don't understand.
- 31:03Speaker 1: What does that even mean? I don't get it. Yeah,
- 31:07Speaker 1: that's a nerd stat.
- 31:09Speaker 2: That's that's one of those stats where you're like, Okay,
- 31:12Speaker 2: that's something that's you know, just kind of pulled out
- 31:14Speaker 2: of thin air and like, why is that a thing?
- 31:16Speaker 2: And it wasn't a thing the last time the Blue
- 31:18Speaker 2: jessuit in the World Series. But it's a thing now
- 31:20Speaker 2: and and all that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones right now, and against my
- 31:26Speaker 2: better judgment in the leadoff chair, we'll say hello to
- 31:29Speaker 2: hollering James in Minneapolis, Mina Oulta, Hello, hollering James. Look
- 31:37Speaker 2: how happy he sounds?
- 31:38Speaker 1: Is this?
- 31:38Speaker 2: Dan not sound happy? He's so happy when he's awake,
- 31:41Speaker 2: he's but he's sleeping. He sounds happy too.
- 31:44Speaker 8: You know why, because I'm not Sleepy Floyd.
- 31:49Speaker 2: See, that's a that is a dated reference. You got
- 31:51Speaker 2: to update your reference there. That's a that's a forty
- 31:54Speaker 2: year old reference. There was a basketball player named Eric Floyd.
- 31:57Speaker 2: His nickname was Sleepy Floyd and and they literally call
- 32:01Speaker 2: him Sleepy Floyd. That was his go to name. He
- 32:04Speaker 2: loves sleeping that much. Remember, there was a picture for
- 32:07Speaker 2: the Arizona Diamondbacks, which is also a twenty year old reference.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Twenty five year old reference. There was a picture of
- 32:12Speaker 2: young Young Kim who was a closer who used to
- 32:15Speaker 2: sleep like twenty hours a day or some ridiculous thing
- 32:18Speaker 2: like that, for the Arizona Diamondbacks back in the day. James,
- 32:24Speaker 2: do you understand, James, No one snores as loud as
- 32:26Speaker 2: you that is your superpower.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I don't think that's possible, right, I mean we all.
- 32:30Speaker 2: I believe everyone has some superpower, something that we're really
- 32:33Speaker 2: good at. And yours is snoring, which, unfortunately I don't
- 32:36Speaker 2: think you can monetize. Is there like an only fans
- 32:39Speaker 2: for like women that want men that snore a lot
- 32:42Speaker 2: and would pay money to listen to James snore?
- 32:44Speaker 1: No, I haven't gone on those type of websites, but
- 32:47Speaker 1: I had. You would never go in there, yeah, James.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Sean, Oh, here we go? You want to I knew you, James.

- 33:42Speaker 2: of it was fine. You went to off the reservation
- 33:44Speaker 2: there at the end, but I don't know what those

- 34:03Speaker 1: read music. I saw.
- 34:05Speaker 2: I guess this is a well known sir. But Lionel
- 34:07Speaker 2: Richie does not know how to read music. He was
- 34:09Speaker 2: part of the Commodore's.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Back in the day.
- 34:11Speaker 8: I know it ain't brot cover, but became solo like

- 35:06Speaker 2: for sure.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Let me maybe five? How about five?
- 35:09Speaker 2: There's five a good number because I think like there's
