- 5:10Speaker 1: On the One Look Up Network.
- 5:11Speaker 2: All right, folks, the Yanks are down zero to two
- 5:14Speaker 2: in this series. And while everybody's referencing two thousand, nineteen
- 5:20Speaker 2: ninety six, when the Yanks were down oh two, then
- 5:22Speaker 2: they went to Atlanta and came back and won, I
- 5:26Speaker 2: have an actual relevant precedent here when it comes to
- 5:33Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers and the.
- 5:36Speaker 1: New York Yankees.
- 5:40Speaker 2: He's doing He's wait, you got to the field?
- 5:45Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That was the final out of nineteen seventy eight in
- 5:52Speaker 2: Chevezravine when the Yankees won the World Series. But for
- 5:55Speaker 2: those panicking, do you understand what happened in nineteen seventy
- 5:59Speaker 2: eight back then with Munson and Reggie and Mickey Rivers
- 6:06Speaker 2: and Willie Randolph, Roy White, Lupanella, Bucky Dentch who of
- 6:10Speaker 2: course started the nineteen seventy eight postseason campaign with that
- 6:13Speaker 2: clutch home run into over Fenway Park over the Green Monster. Well,
- 6:22Speaker 2: they went down two against the Dodgers in nineteen seventy
- 6:26Speaker 2: eight as well. And so maybe just maybe seeing this
- 6:33Speaker 2: score sheet of what happened in the next four.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Games will light up the twenty.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Twenty four Yankees, maybe by posting the fact that, hey,
- 6:40Speaker 2: this Yankee franchise has been down before against LA and
- 6:44Speaker 2: came back to New York, won three straight and then
- 6:47Speaker 2: won the final game to win the World Series Game six.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Maybe Thurman Mounson, you know, they do talk about ghosts,
- 6:55Speaker 2: and of course Thurman made the final out of that
- 6:58Speaker 2: World Series, and we all know.
- 7:00Speaker 1: What happened in nineteen seventy nine.
- 7:03Speaker 2: But maybe his spirit and the spirit of George Steinberner
- 7:08Speaker 2: and those Yankees who have gone before us are willing
- 7:12Speaker 2: that kind of energy back into the Bronx this weekend.
- 7:15Speaker 2: This week, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are the most crucial times.
- 7:21Speaker 1: For the Yankee fan base to show up.
- 7:24Speaker 2: This is the season on the line, all win two
- 7:27Speaker 2: against the Dodgers. And I know there are people saying, well,
- 7:30Speaker 2: this is not nineteen seventy eight, it's a different team.
- 7:34Speaker 2: But this team has something similar to but a little
- 7:40Speaker 2: different than seventy eight. They have a lineup that can
- 7:45Speaker 2: just light up a scoreboard. You look at the scores
- 7:50Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, they had Reggie and he
- 7:52Speaker 2: had that three homeown game in seventy seven against the Dodgers.
- 7:58Speaker 2: But that Yankee team at Grit it was the Bronx zoo.
- 8:03Speaker 2: And I think why Jake Kosak created the Bronx Zoo
- 8:06Speaker 2: tbz is because he wanted to bring back that energy
- 8:11Speaker 2: of the chaoticness of the winning times too.
- 8:14Speaker 1: That was the nostalgic Bronx Zoo.
- 8:19Speaker 2: So this week, instead of booing Aaron Judge, give him
- 8:23Speaker 2: that standing ovation. He's had a rough postseason, he's had
- 8:27Speaker 2: a rough World Series.
- 8:30Speaker 1: But you can't turn your back on the captain.
- 8:34Speaker 2: He's got the sea on his jersey for a reason,
- 8:40Speaker 2: and he actually just won the most Outstanding Player of
- 8:42Speaker 2: the Year of twenty twenty four in the American League.
- 8:46Speaker 1: So don't turn your back on him now. Don't turn
- 8:49Speaker 1: your back on this team. Now.
- 8:54Speaker 2: There is a precedence, which is why I'm not giving
- 8:59Speaker 2: up faith. And wherever will be for Game three tomorrow night,
- 9:05Speaker 2: we'll be praying. You know, I've seen highlights in baseball
- 9:08Speaker 2: stadiums are in the World Series of people carrying their
- 9:10Speaker 2: rosaries and doing what they got to do to pray
- 9:12Speaker 2: and pray for this.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Team to win. I mean, it is a bit of
- 9:16Speaker 1: a religion.
- 9:17Speaker 2: I've always called sports a sportsuality because of the bond
- 9:20Speaker 2: we have. It is a spiritual bond to sports, to
- 9:24Speaker 2: the Yankees that some of us have.
- 9:29Speaker 1: There's a kinship to baseball.
- 9:30Speaker 2: As I said before, It's been passed down generation to generation.
- 9:37Speaker 2: And so we can't let those that got us into
- 9:40Speaker 2: the game down by just giving up on the team.
- 9:42Speaker 2: We can't let the ghosts of Yankees' low down by
- 9:46Speaker 2: giving up on the team. They built this team from
- 9:49Speaker 2: the forties, the thirties, the fifties, its twenties.
- 9:53Speaker 1: So don't be that average modern day Yankee fan which
- 9:56Speaker 1: seems to be saying the series is over. Have that
- 10:00Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight energy. Have that positivity that.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Our Yankees ancestry and our ancestry who gave us this
- 10:12Speaker 2: love of baseball would.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Want us to have.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I want to tell you the scores in nineteen seventy
- 10:19Speaker 2: eight of what happened in Games two, Games three, four, five,
- 10:25Speaker 2: and six. So they come back down two, Yanks win
- 10:29Speaker 2: five to one, then.
- 10:32Speaker 1: They win four to three to tie.
- 10:34Speaker 2: The series, then twelve to two in Game five, and
- 10:39Speaker 2: then of course they win.
- 10:40Speaker 1: The World Series in Game six, seven to two. It
- 10:44Speaker 1: can happen. We just got to have a better.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Mentality, a better aptitude, and whatever you want to say
- 10:58Speaker 2: attitude about it.
- 11:01Speaker 1: The series is not over. We've been here.
- 11:04Speaker 2: For our generation, it is nineteen ninety six all over again,
- 11:07Speaker 2: but for those before us, it's nineteen seventy eight. And
- 11:15Speaker 2: the other interesting thing to me is that this and
- 11:29Speaker 2: the other thought is this. We are New Yorkers. We
- 11:31Speaker 2: don't give up on our teams. We shouldn't give up
- 11:34Speaker 2: on our teams. So let's change the mindset and the
- 11:39Speaker 2: attitude collectively and bringing an energy of willing this team
- 11:47Speaker 2: to win and just take us back to the glory days,
- 11:54Speaker 2: bring us a World Series home. It will be the
- 11:58Speaker 2: toughest four wins the Yankees get, but they are built
- 12:02Speaker 2: for this.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And I refuse to believe.
- 12:11Speaker 2: That the twenty twenty two aocs will be repeated again.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I just refuse to believe it.
- 12:17Speaker 2: The Yanks have more heart, they have more of depth,
- 12:21Speaker 2: they have more of a team, and they have a
- 12:26Speaker 2: captain that needs a sending ovation to give them that encouragement.
- 12:31Speaker 2: So we'll probably go to Game four and hopefully that'll
- 12:35Speaker 2: be a game tying scenario. But let's see how things
- 12:42Speaker 2: play out. Yanks come back to the Bronx. The series
- 12:44Speaker 2: is not over yet. Look at nineteen seventy eight. Look
- 12:47Speaker 2: at footage of that year. If you need to be
- 12:49Speaker 2: fired up the in between, the travel day, the off day.
- 12:57Speaker 2: If you will back to the Bronx, We'll talk to
- 13:01Speaker 2: you soon on the One Leg Up Network. I'm Alex
- 13:03Speaker 2: Garrett Yang. Still have a chance to have one leg
- 13:06Speaker 2: up in this world series. We got to stand behind
- 13:08Speaker 2: them and get them there collectively as REPBX and nothing less.
