  Speaker 1: Here's your host alex garrett.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: All right well after my little rant on election day
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: there is some sports to talk about and on my
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: line right now is mr lou terminello back on terminello's
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: take louis how are you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Alex garrett i am doing fine how are you thank
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you for having me.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Well, we're on the verge of history with the Brewers,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: but we're also on the verge of something very interesting
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: happening in New York. Even though it's in Dallas, the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Tri-Cit area is going to see Hellebuck, Connor Hellebuck, in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: goal tonight for the Devils. Now, we had thought he'd
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: be shopped around. Is the Devils a surprise landing for you?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Did you think he'd land there?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I knew they were one of the teams that were
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: inquiring because, let's face it, the Devils have a major...
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: major goaltending issue, and that had to be rectified while
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: they have this core of young talent together. And I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: think this has a lot of far-reaching ramifications, not only
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for now, and I don't think the Devils gave up
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a lot. You know, they gave up Dawson Mercer.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I liked him.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You know, Nico Dawes. He was a— I don't know how
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: good a goaltender he's going to be. You know, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: they gave up their first-round draft pick, Alex Command, who
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was drafted number 12 last year. So we'll have to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: wait and see on that. But this is a win
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: for the Devils. They want to— obviously, get deep into
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. They want to make the playoffs first of all.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: They want to get deep into the playoffs. Alex, they've
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: won one playoff series since they went to the finals
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: against Los Angeles Kings. And that was 12 years ago.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So they need to do something because these guys, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: before you know it, they use. And then Nico Heischer.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You know, you start to put some... You lose thread
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: on those tires, and the time is now. And I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: also think... I don't think the Devils are done. I mean,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I think they might be involved in maybe Dylan Larkin, maybe.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, they would have to really manipulate the cap
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to get him. They would have to make some trades there. And,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of course, the magical Quinn Hughes, when he becomes available...
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at the end of this year as a free agent.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I think the Devils are going to do everything they can.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I think Sonny Mehta, their new general manager, is going
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to do everything he can. He's going to move heaven
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and earth to try to get the three Utes boys together.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the latest on that? Because I know Quinn
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was actually teasing a contract extension with Minnesota. What are
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you hearing?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he signed with Minnesota. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: could see Minnesota trading him at the deadline to another
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: team if they can't sign him. And if they don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: sign him and they trade him at the deadline, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it won't be to the Devils because then the Devils
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: can get him at the end of the season just
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: for money and don't have to give up any assets. Again,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I have no inside information whatsoever. I really believe that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a devil next year.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, that would be unbelievable. And you know what? I mean,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it's already a gold standard team with Hellebuck joining. He's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a gold medal winning goalie. And, of course, Jack scoring
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the game winner. But Quinn had a role in that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: whole Team USA last year. So it'll be interesting.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: He scored the goal in overtime in the quarterfinals against Sweden. So... Again,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I would think it's a pretty good chance that, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: would say, I'm going to say more than 85% chance
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that Quinn Hughes is going to be on the Devils.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: He may not end the season as a North Star.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: As a member of the Wild, but yes. I mean,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a member of the Wild, yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going back 25 years.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going back 30 years. Hey, you know what? The
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Brewers are going back 44 years, so, you know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Ironically. He's going to be playing the Dallas Stars, who
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: used to be the Minnesota North Stars, tonight.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why it was on your mind.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how he plays tonight against a very
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: good team, a very quick team.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: All right. And then let's go to the Garden real
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: fast because they lost last night to the Kings. Look,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I think they're 7-6-1 or something to that effect. It's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: been a better start than I expected without Igor and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Garand Holden. But I don't know. Should we criticize Mike
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Sullivan for putting a veteran goalie in Ramir in one
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and then taking him out for Garand?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: That move didn't make sense to me. What did you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: make of that?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Well, he played the first— James Ryan played the first period
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: last night, and he did look rusty. Now, the Rangers
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: announced that he has some kind of upper body injury today.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that's why they pulled him out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I assume that's why they pulled him out at the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: end of the first period last night. The Rangers have
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a goaltending issue with Shusterkin being injured. I mean, he's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: their best player, and he's a difference maker. And Garanta's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: done fine. I still don't know, and we said this
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on one of the previous shows, I can't believe how
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he got through waivers without being claimed. Right.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And Copa Sola will come back. He's a competent goalie.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I think they anticipate him back around November 7th or so. Um...
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: He's not Chesterkin. They're gonna have to piece it together.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the Rangers will look elsewhere to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: make a trade to get another goalie.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But again, um....
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Then you have, you know, because Sesterkin's going to come
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: back next year.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So is it a short-term guy?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Is he going to take a guy on with a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: lot of term? I don't know. I mean, they're not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going to, I don't think the Rangers would go after
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a Biddington.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe they would.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But that injury was really tough for the Rangers. That
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was very unfortunate for the Rangers, you know. And he
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was their best player.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why 7-6-1 is still very impressive based on
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: what's going on. So, you know, we'll see. And the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: league is obviously a lot— it' s just a tough league. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: we'll have to see. All right, Louie. We're going to— again,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: we're going to get into the Brewers. But tonight, tonight,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the other Garden residents, the Knicks, are literally trying for
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: their first win tonight. And I've been saying it could
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: be the championship jigs or their sub-pressure. I don't know
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: what's going on. They don't look— we were there on Sunday night.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They don't look as gelling yet. Maybe they missed Mitchell
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Robinson early on. I don't know what the— but they're not
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: cohesive at the moment. I don't know if you're seeing
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the same thing I am. They just don't look cohesive
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Well, a couple things. It's not Mitchell Robinson because he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: basically played, what does he play, like 45, 50 games
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a year?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So it's not him.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They're not cohesive at all. uh, right now, I think again,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and we talked about this last week, I think they
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: need to put, Oh, when you talked about, uh, Mike
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Brown playing, playing guys in the preseason long minutes. Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think he was trying to get his point across
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and I don't think he got it across yet. Um,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: last year is last year. No more Saturday Night Live.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: No more Law & Order SUV. I guess Adinobi was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on an episode. No more sitting in front row at.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And by the way, they face the Sixers, who they
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: just lost to. They face them later in the week.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Their schedule's not easy. I mean, for defending champs, they're
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: not acting like it right now, firstly. Secondly... They really
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: have to prove that they are going to maintain. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: they're not doing that right now. And now you've got
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to face the Pistons, who, if I'm not mistaken, you
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: lost all five to last year, I think, if I'm
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: not mistaken. I mean, it was a struggle against them
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: last year. Now you've got to face them this year.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: A championship doesn't take away from the fact that this
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: league got tougher, Louie. Absolutely, it did.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Now, there's been some major injuries already in the league,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: which is just mind-boggling to me. But we can.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Talk about that. Oh, that leg injury, J-Dub, that horrible, horrible.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you see video of that, his leg
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: just goes out of the socket. It was just awful.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It was awful. Gruesome.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You know, but the Knicks will be all right. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Knicks will be all right. Now, does Josh Hart cat
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: issues with their contracts?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Well, look, and I think that was stupid for the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Knicks to even bring up before the season started. We're
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: not talking contracts yet. Like, I don't know. You just
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: leave all that in the boardroom. You don't put it
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: in the papers because then it becomes a storyline. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: don't know. I got a little rift at that because,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: all right, so Cat's talking about something. But actually, Cat
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was very humble. He said, I just want to do
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: what's best for the team. I think he wants to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: keep the team together as long as they can. That's
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the vibe I'm getting from Cat.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: After he first said he wanted more money, I think
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is what he also said, but you know, it's just.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Just alex i think the knicks are going to be
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the knicks will be fine they also went public today
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a championship hangover but i think
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they'll be fine i.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Do gotta say the banner looks pretty nice in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: rafters of the garden and you know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if they're going to win
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a championship again this year. They're going to go back-to-back,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: which would be incredible. But I think they'll be fine.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: You know, they'll go on the streak. But you'll know
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: during the season.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And we also know they're typically a slow start team
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: until Christmas Day. Once Christmas Day hits, then they really
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: hit their stride, it seems like.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Well, like I said, you'll know if they're dialed in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: for another long playoff run. So, you know, we'll have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to wait and see. So far, Brunson hasn't shot the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: ball well.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: We know he's going to shoot.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The ball better. So, you know, I wouldn't overreact and panic.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: So we got some breaking news in baseball because that's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: also happening tonight. Game four of a possible sweep. Look,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the Brewers just look unstoppable. And I thought the series
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: was going to be a little more even. I had
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: thought seven. But, you know, they just come in looking dominant.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The Rays, Freddy Peralta. As Ryan Pagano said, kind of
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: did what he did at Citi Field, which was meltdown
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: and the bullpen didn't help his case. So that's happened
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: last night. But I see. They're going Dustin May, which
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: sets up for a possible Miz World Series clincher if
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they lose tonight. I don't know. I would have thrown
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Miz out there tonight and just said, let's win it tonight.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: That's just my theory, though.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, again, they're protecting Mizorowski. You know, again, the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: guy can't go– when is this guy going to go
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: more than five innings? Yeah, I'd like to see him pitch,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but they'll hold him.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: The kid pops 100 miles an hour every pitch. I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: don't know how he does that either.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I know. There's no doubt about it. The guy is incredible.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The Brewers are the best team in baseball. Their defense
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is fantastic. They have a terrific lineup. Their bullpen is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: lights out. And Alex, last night we saw something since
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they went to the replay era, since we're in the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: replay era now. Last night was the first time in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a huge game where we saw the turning of a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: call at second base change the whole game. It was
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: only 2-0, and Caminero made a terrific play in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: hole and threw to second, and Yelich was called out.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But the Brewers correctly challenged. They won the challenge. So
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: instead of 2-0 and the inning over, it was bases loaded.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And the Milwaukee Brewers got seven straight hits, which produced
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: eight runs. And by the time that inning was over, five, six,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: seven years ago, that inning would have been over 2-0
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: because there was no replay.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Now it's 10-0 and the game is over.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that and the Brewers capitalize on that. But, yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that's true. And I saw that. But, you know, a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: guy who's had a redemptive postseason to me, and you
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: know my frustration with him last year, not wearing it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: As they say, uh, Bryce Terang, who dodged the hit
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: by pitch last year against the Dodgers. He had a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: redemptive to me. Well, but he doesn't have an incredible,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he's just had an incredible year.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They got swept last year. So the Dodgers swept them.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So, uh, um, And then Yellich. That's the kid I'm
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: really happy for, Yellich, because he's the first.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He's the captain. He's done that. You know, he's had
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: back issues. Yeah, and I'm happy for them. And Alex,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I have no skin in the game who wins, Milwaukee
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: or Tampa Bay. But you know why I'm happy? It
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: looks like Milwaukee's going to win this series. Yes, I know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: They haven't won the fourth game yet because Milwaukee's been
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a great baseball town all my life. They've been– whether
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the Braves were there or when the Brewers came there
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: after their first year in Seattle in 1969 as the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Seattle Pilots. That's a great baseball town. Tampa is not
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a great baseball town. And, yes, I admire the Tampa
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Bay Devils Rays organization, but this one– it's not only
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: great for the Milwaukee franchise, it's great for the Brewer
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: fans in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, just having that in that dome, it
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just feels weird because Milwaukee's stadium is state-of-the-art as far
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: as I could tell. Tropicana just isn't nice to her.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I just can't.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Well, again, that's why they're going to have a new
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: stadium in 2029. And it's going to be on the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Tampa side of the Bay. It's Tampa side of the Bay.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And I just hope that it helps spur the Rays
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: into having more passionate fans. I mean, I heard on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Series XM today, some guy took his daughters down from
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee to the game last night. He flew down and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: he flew back to Milwaukee today. The fact that tickets
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: were available for people from Milwaukee to come down there
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: is ridiculous. That's the reason I'm glad Milwaukee looks like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they're going to win.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: For you, Kurt.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And for Euchre. All right, one more thing I got
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to say on this baseball. If you look at the trend,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: NL Central has won in 06 every 10 years. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: 06 was the Cardinals, 16 was the Cubs, and now
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: most likely 26 is going to be the Brewers. So
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: there's a little trend for you every 10 years as
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: an NL Central team. Of course, 10 years ago was
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: even more. Look, the Brewers winning their first is historic,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: but I still say the curse being broken by the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Cubs was a moment we all had to be around
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to see. You never thought it would happen for the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Cubs 10 years ago or even before that. Yeah, no,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: 108 years.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So that's 50 more than the Brewers.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But still, it is a historic day that one
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: of these teams is going to win their first ever
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: World Series, and you're alive to see it. I'm alive
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to see it. We miss Euchre. I've told my Bob
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Euchre story before. We miss him. But I know he's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: directing this team from above and probably calling every pitch
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: up in heaven right now with, hey, maybe— I mean, ironically, God.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Rest his soul, and yes, I'm sure Euchre is looking down.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: The last game he ever called was that Alonzo home
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: run off Devin Williams. That was the last inning of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Brewer baseball he ever called.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know, so— Yeah, it'll be good. I mean, they'll definitely,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: they'll be Euchre banners in the stands, even in Tampa tonight,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in St. Petersburg tonight. And if they lose, the thing is,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you don't want Tampa Bay winning the next two games
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: because then in game six, the pressure switches to Milwaukee
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: because then it gets into your head if you lose
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the next two games and you go back to Milwaukee
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and then Milwaukee says, oh my God. Are we going
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to be the second team in baseball history to blow it?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: No, I think they'll have to get it done either
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: tonight or tomorrow. I just have this feeling. Yeah, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: would say so. I'm definitely going to Kettle and Fish.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I found a bar that's Wisconsin-themed, so they show the Packers,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the Brewers, the Badgers, so I'm going to go there
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and check it out.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, in Manhattan?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: In Manhattan, yep. So it'll be in.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: In downtown Manhattan, I'll be going over there. Kettle and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Fish is what it's called. So we'll see. Maybe I'll
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: document some people because, look, I'm sure whoever's going to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: be there is as excited as anybody in Milwaukee or
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: anybody in Tampa for Milwaukee. It's a moment for a
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: franchise that I say– walked with CeCe, Braun, and Fielder,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that core, and now they're running with it 10 years
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: later almost. I mean, they set up the winning by
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: actually getting to the playoffs for the first time since
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: 82 back in 08. Now look at it eight years later.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So there's been a change going on in Milwaukee for
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: the last few years. And Pat Murphy.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: They made the playoffs, what? They made the playoffs, what?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: ALS? Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And Pat Murphy, who was actually a candidate for the Mets,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: coaching our managing position back in 2019, he now is
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: one step away from the World Series. And I really
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: love his managerial style. And, you know, Council burned a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people by going to the Cubs the way
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: he did. But look what it ended up with for Milwaukee.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Yes. Milwaukee's going to come out smelling like a rose.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's for sure if they can get this fourth win. Oh, God.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. And the Cubs couldn't even make it past the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: wild card, which that's another story. I don't know how
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: they went from four and a half up at the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: wild card to like being not even a home site.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: It just was a bad collapse for them. But that was.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: That was troubling. But MVPCA for sure. And on this
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: World Series, Brewers look like they're going to do it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And I think they're doing it our way, as they say,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: because of Laverne and Shirley. That was the whole song
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: with Laverne and Shirley.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They're doing it their way, that's for sure.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Little by little. And yes, the small market argument is
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: very real this World Series. But I do think a
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: lockout's coming. I still have that feeling. So we'll have
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, enjoy the game tonight. Or if Tampa wins tomorrow night.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Because I don't think we're going to see baseball, unfortunately.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. Until maybe mid-season or maybe not
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: at all. Who knows?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I got to go back to Radio Louis, but
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: let's do some football recap and all. check in on
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the World Series if there is a clincher tonight. Tomorrow,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: how about it? Whenever the World Series clinch, we'll come
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: back on and talk and we'll do some football in
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: the meantime. What do you think?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That sounds good to me, Alex.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: But that was NHL heavy because this is a big story.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, big story tonight. We'll see how the American
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: hero does, not only tonight but throughout the season. And
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Devils become an interesting team. I'll let you go,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: but Sheldon Keefe, the pressure's on him more than ever now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And that's why the Devils have to respond now. to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this trade. And it's not going to happen right away,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: but in the next couple of weeks. The other thing,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the Islanders, we love Varlamov.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Simeon Varlamov has been a great Islander goaltender.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: We helped him get back to those, you know, a
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago to those back-to-back Final Fours. Alex,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: he's come back. He has those two partial knee replacements.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He looks like... the Islanders might have to look for
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: another goaltender to back up Sorokin.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: He looks slow to me. Well, that is sad, because
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: he was a big part of that Islanders' core for
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a while. One last note. Tracy's going on the IR.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: You know, all three Giants scored a touchdown on Sunday.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that a little bit more. But Tyrone
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Tracy out four games, so that puts the load back
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: on Skadaboo and Singletary. So we'll cover that a little
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: bit more during the week. Louie T. Yeah, that we don't.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: About a lot of comment on what's going on in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: New York football so we'll talk about that next show.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: All right and when it for so there's this kid
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee named Simpson out of you've heard about Him,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: is it Simpson or Simon? He's a kid with CP,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: big Brewers fan, gets featured by Fox 6 Milwaukee. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: they're all saying winning for this kid was about 12
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: or 13. And they interview him almost every game about
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: the Brewers. It's a great story. So I hope they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: win it for him as well.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the whole organization and the players know about
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: this young man.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Miz was asked about him, actually, which is
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. So that was awesome. All right, Louis T.,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we'll be back soon on One Look Up Alex Media
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: for more sports. But for now, thanks for a quick
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: update on what's going on in the Lone Star State.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: An American hero, as you say, making his debut with
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: his devil tonight.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, Alex, thank you, as always, for having me.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Cut!
