- 2:28Speaker 1: our lead this story is from the mail bag of
- 2:31Speaker 1: sorts via Boston. The Red Sox lost again. We'll get
- 2:34Speaker 1: to that game in a minute. We normally don't talk
- 2:36Speaker 1: about regular season baseball games. However, this was so zany,
- 2:39Speaker 1: so crazy, so ridiculous. It rises to high crimes and
- 2:43Speaker 1: misdemeanors of a mentioned in the Mallad monologue. However, our
- 2:46Speaker 1: lead is from the post trade deadline post trade deadline leftovers,
- 2:53Speaker 1: those delicious morsels of goodness, those little nuggets, bite sized nuggets,
- 2:57Speaker 1: which are so good. So if you've not been followed this,
- 3:01Speaker 1: perhaps not. I got an email from I think it
- 3:04Speaker 1: was Scott, not blind Scott, but apparently there's more than
- 3:07Speaker 1: one person named Scott in the in the Boston you
- 3:10Speaker 1: know region there the Commonwealth. So this guy Scott emails me.
- 3:13Speaker 1: He said do you see this bull crap? And of
- 3:16Speaker 1: course I looked at it and said, oh, yeah, that's fine.
- 3:20Speaker 1: So I want to address this here. So I was
- 3:22Speaker 1: reading an email and apparently there's a story going around
- 3:24Speaker 1: that the Red Sox quote discussed close quote various trades
- 3:31Speaker 1: for Francisco Lindoor, Bobby Witt Junior, and Elie Dela Cruz.
- 3:40Speaker 2: That's leading up to the trade.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Though I know it's kind of funny and it Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 1: Scott thought it was hilarre. He's very cynical. This is
- 3:47Speaker 1: not again, not milind Scott, this other guy. So anyway,
- 3:50Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and I'm going to address this in a tone that
- 3:57Speaker 1: I think is appropriate.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So, what is the significance of the Red.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Sox reportedly kicking the tires inquiring about La de la Cruz,
- 4:08Speaker 1: Bobby Witt Junior, and Francisco Lindor. So I've got four seasons,
- 4:13Speaker 1: don't trust Jumbo and Twinkling Stars, and we will combine
- 4:19Speaker 1: all of these things together, and we're gonna have the Gobbygool.
- 4:24Speaker 1: We're gonna have the Gobbagool, and then we're gonna have
- 4:27Speaker 1: the Bobbagoos.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Is what we're going to have.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So to lead off here, this is what's known, and
- 4:33Speaker 1: Scott seems to get it. This guy Scott did he
- 4:35Speaker 1: and I don't know who he is. He's not a
- 4:37Speaker 1: regular contributor to the show.
- 4:39Speaker 2: However, it is a strategic leak, is what this is.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's the way I will phrase this right, This is
- 4:44Speaker 2: strategic leak.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Aggressively window shopping, say, hey, you tell your what I'm gonna.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm gonna go down to the mall. There's still a mall. Yeah,
- 4:53Speaker 1: there's a mall. So I'm gonna go down and you're
- 4:55Speaker 1: gonna you know, you're gonna buy something that. Yeah. And
- 4:58Speaker 1: so then you get back to the house and and
- 5:00Speaker 1: the wife says, well, did you buy anything as well?
- 5:02Speaker 1: You know, I didn't, I really buy it. What were
- 5:05Speaker 1: you doing?
- 5:05Speaker 3: You were?
- 5:06Speaker 1: You were there for a while, but I was aggressively looking.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I was I was trying to see what I might buy,
- 5:11Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I was looking around. Good luck, good luck.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So Boston the way they're they're talking here, they were
- 5:17Speaker 1: walking down the Shortstop Showroom Rodeo Drive. They had their
- 5:24Speaker 1: noses pressed against the glass and their slobber chops and
- 5:28Speaker 1: they were, oh, Bobby Witt Junior and Ellie Da La Cruz,
- 5:32Speaker 1: that's fantasy laying now the Red Sox asking you about them.
- 5:36Speaker 1: It's kind of like me going into the to the
- 5:39Speaker 1: Ritz Carlton of the Four Seasons and saying, hey, do
- 5:42Speaker 1: you guys have a coupon code?
- 5:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:45Speaker 1: They'd laugh at you, and then you'd be arrested and
- 5:47Speaker 1: kicked out, and yeah, they say, come on, they inquired
- 5:52Speaker 1: so stupid. Uh, just to try to feel something, you know,
- 5:57Speaker 1: just to try to get that vibe.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Oh maybe we'll get a real, a real shortstop there.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Good luck.
- 6:02Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that certainly Elie de the Cruz and
- 6:06Speaker 1: Bobby Wood Junior are not available, not you know, the
- 6:09Speaker 1: Royal suck. Bobby Wood Junior signed it forever contract, and
- 6:13Speaker 1: Elie de the Cruz he didn't have the forever contract. However,
- 6:17Speaker 1: he is the anchor to whatever that is in Cincinnati
- 6:22Speaker 1: with the Reds and so they're not being put in
- 6:26Speaker 1: a Boston gift packet.
- 6:28Speaker 2: That's not happening. There's no basket they're being put into. Now.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor is the one name, the one name that
- 6:35Speaker 1: his head and shoulders realistic. Of course, that means you
- 6:38Speaker 1: have to pay the bill. And the only thing Scott,
- 6:42Speaker 1: my listener, Scott pointed out, he said, well, the Mets
- 6:44Speaker 1: will the Red Sox will take Lindoor if the Mets
- 6:47Speaker 1: pay his contract, Like I don't think that's gonna happen.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Like the Mets will be like we're a big market team,
- 6:51Speaker 1: you can afford to pay Francisco Lindor and all that.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And so yeah, he's available.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I mean the Mets would personally drive him and his
- 7:00Speaker 1: luggage all the way up by ninety five. And if
- 7:05Speaker 1: Boston swallowed the Albatrass contract, they'd even throw in a
- 7:09Speaker 1: golf stream, or at least the use of a golf
- 7:11Speaker 1: stream for private flights. Now, the real message the Red
- 7:14Speaker 1: Sox are sending is we don't have a shortstop. We
- 7:16Speaker 1: do not have a shortstop. It is a black hole.
- 7:19Speaker 1: It is a blank space on our Bingo card. However,
- 7:23Speaker 1: we are the e word efforting. We're efforting. This is
- 7:29Speaker 1: the Boston baseball team trying to convince the fan base
- 7:33Speaker 1: that they are dating a supermodel when they're actually texting
- 7:37Speaker 1: their bedraggled exit two in the morning saying hey you up.
- 7:41Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. I mean, that's how that goes.
- 7:43Speaker 1: And so listen, it's they're not getting Bobby with Junior
- 7:48Speaker 1: and Elie Delacruz. It's just not having Lindor. I could see,
- 7:52Speaker 1: I could see.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Lindor ended up in Boston.
- 7:53Speaker 1: But the whole thing is, I love these after the
- 7:56Speaker 1: fact things that are leaked, strategically leaked by the teams
- 8:00Speaker 1: to say, we really went for it. Man alive. Boy,
- 8:02Speaker 1: that escalated. We really tried to get that guy all right. Now,
- 8:05Speaker 1: furthermore to the zaniness that happened last night and at
- 8:08Speaker 1: the ballpark formerly known as SkyDome there in Toronto where
- 8:12Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the Blue Jays game was delayed
- 8:15Speaker 1: a little over fifteen minutes. You can't delay a game.
- 8:21Speaker 1: These things are timed. We need to get these games
- 8:25Speaker 1: over with. Rob Manford wants all these games to end
- 8:27Speaker 1: very quickly. So why was the game delayed? Did somebody
- 8:30Speaker 1: get whacked with a baseball? Hit over the head with
- 8:33Speaker 1: a bat. No, there was a very bizarre situation of
- 8:37Speaker 1: the seventh inning of this game. Now I'm gonna try
- 8:40Speaker 1: to describe there was a lot of confusion. I'm gonna
- 8:43Speaker 1: try to describe what happened and the thumbnail recap of this.
- 8:51Speaker 1: There was confusion over how many outs there were. What
- 8:57Speaker 1: I know, So you had the Toronto Blue Jays, the
- 9:02Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. The umpires, who didn't seem to know
- 9:10Speaker 1: what was going on, said what I know anyway, so
- 9:14Speaker 1: this is long delay. There was a debate whether a
- 9:17Speaker 1: Boston run should have scored in the seventh inning. So
- 9:21Speaker 1: let me give you the condensed cliff notes version of this. So,
- 9:24Speaker 1: with two runners aboard and nobody out, Nick Soguard hit
- 9:30Speaker 1: a liner that bounced before Vladimir Ga Railroad Junior.
- 9:34Speaker 2: So the Blue Jays first.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Baseman, he fielded it and then produced one out because
- 9:40Speaker 1: the ball bounced, so he produced one out. However, the
- 9:43Speaker 1: scoreboard operator clearly taking a lot of shots of vodka
- 9:48Speaker 1: and another hard liquor. And so this is this guy
- 9:52Speaker 1: over there, he just put two outs up because why not. Okay, fine,
- 9:57Speaker 1: so he screwed up. So then Sedane Rafaela flew out.
- 10:01Speaker 1: That's the actual second out. But remember the scoreboard said
- 10:05Speaker 1: there were already two outs. So this guy flew out,
- 10:07Speaker 1: that should be the second out, but it's actually the
- 10:09Speaker 1: third out. In the eyes of the you know, the
- 10:12Speaker 1: the players are like, well, that's a third out because
- 10:14Speaker 1: they thought that was a double play. Guerrero eventually stepped
- 10:16Speaker 1: on first and Soguard left without tagging up, completing an
- 10:22Speaker 1: appeal for the third out. However, the Boston run had
- 10:26Speaker 1: already scored. Are you confused, I'm confused telling you this.
- 10:31Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. So it turns out that the
- 10:36Speaker 1: umpires didn't know what was going on. So they said, well,
- 10:40Speaker 1: let's contact the overlords in New York and see if
- 10:44Speaker 1: they know what's going on. So the umpires contacted the
- 10:47Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's operations center in New York, and they
- 10:51Speaker 1: ruled that the run counted cutting Toronto's lead, that there
- 10:57Speaker 1: was two to one, and so it was very odd.
- 11:01Speaker 1: And the question is what stood out? What stood out
- 11:04Speaker 1: about the Red Sox and their base running blunder in Toronto?
- 11:11Speaker 1: And the Blue Jays are not out of the woods either.
- 11:14Speaker 1: So this whole thing, and I watched it several times
- 11:16Speaker 1: on the interweb, this entire thing, Keystone Cops right the
- 11:22Speaker 1: old Hollywood, get the Benny Hill music going, and it
- 11:27Speaker 1: was hilarious. Think about with all the things that we have,
- 11:33Speaker 1: all of them, and these guys didn't know how many
- 11:38Speaker 1: outs there were. They treated the out total was like
- 11:43Speaker 1: advanced calculus, which is hilarious to me. So the Red
- 11:46Speaker 1: Sox wandered around Rogers Center in full zombie mode, completely
- 11:52Speaker 1: hypnotized by the boozing scoreboard operator or whatever he was
- 11:57Speaker 1: doing there with the incorrect number of outs. They were mesmerized,
- 12:01Speaker 1: kind of like when you go to a casino and
- 12:03Speaker 1: you're playing a slot machine and you just keep pulling
- 12:05Speaker 1: the lever or hitting the button, which I guess is
- 12:07Speaker 1: what you do now, and that's the wed it. So
- 12:09Speaker 1: the Red Sox were so locked into the I guess
- 12:14Speaker 1: they're so into this whole analytics thing and all that
- 12:16Speaker 1: stuff that they forgot arithmetic. They're worried about analytics, they're
- 12:20Speaker 1: not worried about arithmetic. And I guess they outsourced that.
- 12:23Speaker 1: They said, well, we don't need to count the outs.
- 12:25Speaker 1: We'll just depend on the scoreboard. Okay, that makes sense.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Just depend on the scoreboard. Nothing wrong with that. Now,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I've seen that before. I last saw that on a
- 12:33Speaker 1: Saturday morning Little League game, so I have seen it.
- 12:37Speaker 1: The team didn't know how many outs there were and
- 12:40Speaker 1: all that, and of course they got orange slices for that.
- 12:43Speaker 1: The players on the Red Sox and Blue Jays they
- 12:45Speaker 1: didn't get orange slices. Now that What followed was a
- 12:48Speaker 1: group project of total incompetence by both the Red Sox
- 12:51Speaker 1: and the Blue Jays. You had confused players here, there
- 12:54Speaker 1: and everywhere. The managers didn't really know what was going on.
- 12:57Speaker 1: The umpires had to ask Big Brother to help him out,
- 13:01Speaker 1: and then it got a fifteen minute rule summary. I
- 13:03Speaker 1: bet you the people in New York didn't even know
- 13:05Speaker 1: what happened. Hey, pull out the dusty rule book. Let's
- 13:08Speaker 1: let's say what rule. We gotta look at the rule
- 13:10Speaker 1: and there's always some poindexter that's, oh, I know what
- 13:12Speaker 1: the rule is. Let me let me double check. I'll
- 13:15Speaker 1: check that. So it's just again a group project of
- 13:18Speaker 1: total incompetence there between these two teams.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Everyone gets an F.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Now the other part of it, in the postgame situation,
- 13:26Speaker 1: we learned after the fact that Anthony Siegler apparently that's
- 13:31Speaker 1: a player for the Red Sox. I've never heard of him,
- 13:33Speaker 1: and he said that the third base coach told him
- 13:37Speaker 1: there were there was one out, but Siegler looked at
- 13:41Speaker 1: the scoreboard and saw two outs and then he said, no, excuse,
- 13:45Speaker 1: it's unacceptable. So he's like, well, I was told by
- 13:47Speaker 1: my coach the right number of outs. I just chose
- 13:49Speaker 1: to look at the scoreboard and that's what I chose
- 13:51Speaker 1: to go with. Now, the thing that gets even better
- 13:53Speaker 1: is Toronto we learned could have and you talk about Fougaizy,
- 13:58Speaker 1: Toronto could have gotten rid of that run. They could
- 14:02Speaker 1: have made the run. Go abra cadabra. Hocus pocus? Are
- 14:06Speaker 1: you keeping track of this? So there's this. There's apparently
- 14:09Speaker 1: an appeal process if you fail to tag at third.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Siegler failed to tag at third because he figured he
- 14:18Speaker 1: didn't need to tag at third.
- 14:20Speaker 2: So the way this.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Works, and I never heard of this under the rather
- 14:24Speaker 1: obscure it's called apparent fourth out rule. The appeal would
- 14:29Speaker 1: have super seded the out at first. However, Toronto failed
- 14:35Speaker 1: to do that before they left the hill, so they
- 14:37Speaker 1: aft up too. Now it didn't matter because in the
- 14:40Speaker 1: end the team that was in the lead there, Toronto,
- 14:44Speaker 1: ultimately won the game. So the Red Sox have completely
- 14:46Speaker 1: fallen apart. It's panic at Finway and all those good
- 14:49Speaker 1: vibrations are over. They lost all their mow as you
- 14:52Speaker 1: idiots say, momentum. How could they lose three games in
- 14:55Speaker 1: a run. They had all the momentum, It makes no sense.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Why would they get that and they lost it. Turn,
- 15:00Speaker 1: they lost the Blue Jays and the A's for a
- 15:02Speaker 1: couple of games. Those are Bush League teams this year.
- 15:05Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. There you go, Well, the lesson is, don't
- 15:09Speaker 1: trust Jumbo. Do not trust Jumbo. That would be the
- 15:13Speaker 1: Jumbo tron.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Don't do it.
- 15:15Speaker 1: And as the old NBCPSA used to say, the more
- 15:19Speaker 1: you know, the more you know, especially the part of
- 15:21Speaker 1: how many outs there are in an inning. All right,
- 15:24Speaker 1: last thing, do sweet home Shiticago we go where Tim Anderson,
- 15:29Speaker 1: who created a lot of good sports talk radio for
- 15:32Speaker 1: doing really z anythings, really's anythings?
- 15:35Speaker 2: Back in his day.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Tim Anderson has been a stiff stealing money for several
- 15:39Speaker 1: years in that apparently that hustle is now over. The
- 15:43Speaker 1: skulduggery has come to an end. Tim Anderson, announcing his
- 15:46Speaker 1: retirement from baseball at age thirty three, ana good bye,
- 15:56Speaker 1: get out of here, see you later. He was very
- 15:59Speaker 1: emotion ver klempt is the word I will use when
- 16:03Speaker 1: talking to reporters. Of course, then Anderson, while he was
- 16:07Speaker 1: a ball of tears, was like, hey, listen, life is
- 16:10Speaker 1: bigger than baseball. Life is bigger than trying to entertain
- 16:15Speaker 1: people with baseball. Well, he hadn't been able to entertain
- 16:18Speaker 1: anyone in the years. It's been a bit of a
- 16:20Speaker 1: problem there. He acknowledged the game brought him a lot
- 16:23Speaker 1: of great memories, a fair amount of money, and he
- 16:26Speaker 1: also had some significant pain. A lot of that was
- 16:29Speaker 1: self inflicted by Tim Anderson, who famously compared himself to
- 16:34Speaker 1: Jackie Robinson and then got upset when someone called him
- 16:37Speaker 1: Jackie Robinson, which seems to make no sense.
- 16:39Speaker 2: To me, but what do I know.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Anyway, that was Josh Donaldson. I think that was the
- 16:44Speaker 1: beef between Josh Donaldson, who I think was of the
- 16:47Speaker 1: Yankees and Tim Anderson, and the wolkesters at baseball got
- 16:51Speaker 1: all upset and all that because Tim Anderson was offended
- 16:53Speaker 1: and so they over was back of.
- 16:55Speaker 2: The prime woke times. They got very upset.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Anyway, he acknowledged that he doesn't like baseball anymore. They
- 17:01Speaker 1: stopped enjoying baseball, and which is fair because watching him
- 17:05Speaker 1: play was not enjoyable. He's sucked for years, all right.
- 17:08Speaker 1: So the question, though, let's get down to Jay. So
- 17:10Speaker 1: the White Sox have decided they're going to give a
- 17:12Speaker 1: special honor to Tim andersh spent most of his career
- 17:15Speaker 1: with the White Sox. He bounced around because he's stunk
- 17:18Speaker 1: for the last several years. So the question is this,
- 17:21Speaker 1: does Tim Anderson deserve the royal treatment to have a
- 17:25Speaker 1: White Sox tribute night on the South Side of Chicago.
- 17:30Speaker 1: So when I saw this, and I'm not making this up,
- 17:34Speaker 1: I thought this was satire. I knew he had retired.
- 17:37Speaker 1: I'd read that on a couple of places that he
- 17:39Speaker 1: had retired, So I knew that Tim Anderson had announced
- 17:41Speaker 1: his retirement. I figured that was kosher. The part about
- 17:45Speaker 1: the tribute I thought was satire. I thought that was
- 17:49Speaker 1: sports talk, Barrier butt crack sports or.
- 17:51Speaker 2: One are the parody accounts.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I thought, there's no way this guy's not anywhere good
- 17:55Speaker 1: enough to have that kind of tribute. And apparently they
- 17:59Speaker 1: are going to have a night in September for Tim
- 18:01Speaker 1: anders And He's like, why only on the South Side
- 18:07Speaker 1: does a couple of pretty good years, which is really
- 18:11Speaker 1: what Tim Anderson had, just a couple of pretty good years?
- 18:14Speaker 1: Do you get a victory lab? Are you that desperate
- 18:17Speaker 1: as the White Sox? You have nothing to latch onto
- 18:20Speaker 1: that you're gonna celebrate Tim Anderson? Like, does anyone there
- 18:26Speaker 1: know how to say no? Are there any adults in
- 18:30Speaker 1: the room? So Anderson's prime lasted about as long as
- 18:35Speaker 1: a Snapchat story about that long that nobody bothered open.
- 18:40Speaker 1: You know, you get those things you know, opening with
- 18:41Speaker 1: the invisible messages and you just kind of ignore it
- 18:43Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and he became the face of
- 18:47Speaker 1: what the whites so I remember the White Sox hyping
- 18:50Speaker 1: up this generation. There's another one up for the fraud
- 18:52Speaker 1: options of the oh the minor league system. All we're
- 18:55Speaker 1: gonna be so good, all these minor league is right,
- 18:58Speaker 1: Oh man, they're gonna be grab fully loaded. And Tim
- 19:01Speaker 1: Anderson was the face of that era of White Sox baseball,
- 19:04Speaker 1: all right, and that produced legitimately nothing, zero zippo bumpkis
- 19:13Speaker 1: in terms of any kind of success. I think they
- 19:15Speaker 1: had one playoff series win, but it was in the
- 19:18Speaker 1: pandemic year and all that stuff. So just a mountain
- 19:20Speaker 1: of wasted expectations and hyperbole and all that. And then
- 19:24Speaker 1: came the defining moment, the defining moment of Tim Anderson's career.
- 19:29Speaker 1: You know where I'm going, dateline, Cleveland, Ohio. The Ko kid,
- 19:35Speaker 1: the Ko kid, Jose Ramirez, who turned mister Anderson into
- 19:42Speaker 1: a constellation to a boom boom boom boom boom with
- 19:47Speaker 1: one right hand heard round the baseball world. And all
- 19:51Speaker 1: of a sudden, all that swag, all that machiesmo from
- 19:57Speaker 1: Tim Anderson. Poof it went away, Bye bye, see you
- 20:02Speaker 1: later he was fitted for a new hat. After that
- 20:06Speaker 1: the hat was the twinkling stars in a halo around
- 20:10Speaker 1: his head. As Ramirez, he committed one of the great punches.
- 20:16Speaker 1: He landed, landed an absolute haymaker. Now, pre punch, Tim
- 20:22Speaker 1: Anderson was an average major league player. He was okay,
- 20:27Speaker 1: not great. Post punch, that's it. Nana la na na
- 20:33Speaker 1: da good by.
- 20:35Speaker 4: You know this.
- 20:35Speaker 1: His ops crashed, he was into the cellar. And it's
- 20:41Speaker 1: not here's the It's not even the most famous White
- 20:43Speaker 1: Sox fight of all time. Like, that's number two behind
- 20:46Speaker 1: Robin Ventura getting noogies from Nolan Ryan. Like, if you're
- 20:51Speaker 1: old enough to remember that, that's still better. Anderson's career comps.
- 20:55Speaker 1: You know who the comps are.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Most like Tim?
- 20:58Speaker 1: Who do you think they are? Probably the Hall of
- 21:00Speaker 1: famers in there. You want to batting title Tim Anderson,
- 21:03Speaker 1: multi time All Star. No, the most comparable players to
- 21:06Speaker 1: Tim Anderson are D. D. Gregorious and Unesqui Betan Court. Now,
- 21:15Speaker 1: when those guys were done with baseball, did they have
- 21:18Speaker 1: a night for D. D. Gregorioas did they have a
- 21:21Speaker 1: night for Unesqui Betton Court, No listen. Celebrating the face
- 21:28Speaker 1: of a failed rebuild is a choice. It's a choice
- 21:32Speaker 1: the White Sox have decided to make. So what exactly
- 21:36Speaker 1: are you celebrating? Are you what's the opposite of a bobblehead?
- 21:38Speaker 1: You're gonna hand out a Tim Anderson laying on the
- 21:40Speaker 1: ground statue to all the kids under fifteen that go
- 21:45Speaker 1: to the White Sox games. Anyway, All right, there is
- 21:50Speaker 1: I ranted. I'm I feel better now. He might not
- 21:52Speaker 1: have enjoyed that, but it was therapeutic for me. So
- 21:54Speaker 1: that's all I care about. If you'd like to be
- 21:56Speaker 1: Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox six three
- 22:02Speaker 1: sixty nine, also on X at Ben Mahler. Has there
- 22:06Speaker 1: ever been a White Sox player that won to fight?
- 22:08Speaker 1: Because the only ones I can remember lost fights Robin
- 22:10Speaker 1: Vinter and Tim Anderson.
- 22:11Speaker 2: I'm sure there's been one that won to fight.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Oh aj Prasinski, but he oh yeah, you're right, you know,
- 22:17Speaker 1: you are correct.
- 22:18Speaker 2: That was pretty good. That was in the early two thousands, right, yes, yeah, yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 2: you're right.
- 22:24Speaker 1: All right, there you go. White Sox are still down
- 22:27Speaker 1: on the scoreboard, though Cooper's still trailing all right, one
- 22:31Speaker 1: of the most famous sportscasters who a lot of people
- 22:37Speaker 1: grew up with, has gone viral and there's a lot
- 22:40Speaker 1: of questions. There's a lot of people asking questions. We'll

- 32:22Speaker 3: appreciate it. So you were talking about some Chicyro White
- 32:26Speaker 3: Sox players. Two players came into mind to my mind,
- 32:31Speaker 3: Chris Sale. Didn't he get in a big fight? Am
- 32:33Speaker 3: I thinking of the right guy?
- 32:34Speaker 1: And I knew well, Chris Chris Sale, who's now with
- 32:36Speaker 1: the Orlando Bres most famous for Edward scissors hands. When
- 32:39Speaker 1: he chopped up the uniforms with the White Sox they had,
- 32:42Speaker 1: was it special alternative uniforms that he didn't want to wear,
- 32:45Speaker 1: so he took scissors and cut them all up so
- 32:47Speaker 1: the players couldn't wear them?
- 32:49Speaker 2: How much did that cost? That must have cost him
- 32:50Speaker 2: a lot of mine. Those uniforms are expensive, making a
- 32:54Speaker 2: lot of money.
- 32:54Speaker 7: She was Joe Jackson.
- 32:56Speaker 3: You know he beat the crap out of them shoes.
- 32:58Speaker 3: But now why does everyone come You know the Bill Streadium.
- 33:01Speaker 3: I'm a huge Bills fan, man, that is my team.
- 33:04Speaker 3: These obstructed seats, they are not going to be sold
- 33:07Speaker 3: during the games. They have nothing to do with the games.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Why are you defending the incompetence of spending two billion
- 33:14Speaker 1: dollars in the stadium. You should have no obstructive view seats.
- 33:17Speaker 1: It's incompetence, it's malfeasance. You hire and are you hire
- 33:22Speaker 1: someone to design a stadium. I can do it right
- 33:25Speaker 1: now on the interweb on AI. I can come up
- 33:27Speaker 1: with the stadium with no obstructive seats. You're telling me
- 33:29Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills couldn't do that. Why would you defend them.
- 33:33Speaker 3: I'm not defending the fans that they made obstructed seats.
- 33:36Speaker 3: I'm just saying that they're not going to put some
- 33:39Speaker 3: poor fan there.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Man.
- 33:40Speaker 3: You know, maybe they didn't get it done in time.
- 33:43Speaker 3: They said they're going to fix it.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Well, you know what they should. I have a solution.
- 33:46Speaker 1: I've activated the Mali think tank and I have a
- 33:48Speaker 1: great idea for the fans for those seats. Don't get
- 33:51Speaker 1: rid of them. That is the blind seating section. All right,
- 33:55Speaker 1: that's where you sit the blind If you're a blind
- 33:57Speaker 1: Bills fan and you want a ticket, that's where you
- 33:59Speaker 1: sit right there.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Boom done.
- 34:03Speaker 3: That might work, man, that might work. You know, before
- 34:05Speaker 3: Josh Allen got there, I would love to have been
- 34:08Speaker 3: blind because it was a long.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Long He had a couple of good games. Ryan Fitzpatrick
- 34:15Speaker 2: had a few good games back.
- 34:16Speaker 3: In the day from nineteen ninety nine to twenty twenty
- 34:20Speaker 3: with no playoffs.
- 34:21Speaker 1: It was a long, long Well, you know, you got
- 34:25Speaker 1: a lot of high draft picks though, so that's good,
- 34:27Speaker 1: a lot of high.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Draft Yeah, it was all when you were talking earlier
- 34:29Speaker 3: about Heisman Trophy winners that never didn't get drafted. I
- 34:34Speaker 3: remember the Starbucks he went back when they had a
- 34:36Speaker 3: tenth round. I think he was a tenth round guy.
- 34:40Speaker 3: Memory serves. I used to be my dad was a
- 34:42Speaker 3: Cowboys fan.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a bunch of it. At one point,
- 34:46Speaker 1: the Heisman it was a big thing. But it's like
- 34:48Speaker 1: you had to prove yourself to the NFL. Now you're
- 34:51Speaker 1: it's all about who hypes themselves up most for the draft.
- 34:54Speaker 1: That's who gets drafted in the top of the draft.
- 34:56Speaker 1: It's like the guys that have the good marketing, and
- 34:59Speaker 1: Mendoza had good marketing and so he got drafted high.
- 35:01Speaker 1: He's a developmental quarterback. Should been a fourth or fifth
- 35:04Speaker 1: round draft pick. But now the Raiders are going to
- 35:05Speaker 1: learn he should have been a fourth or fifth round
- 35:07Speaker 1: draft pick. They'll soon find out. All right, let's say

- 35:49Speaker 1: him up and a lot of body shaming going on.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Normally you'd say, well, that's not right. This is a

- 36:20Speaker 1: I in this room, nobody's really said anything that he's
- 36:24Speaker 1: like lacking as a medical condition or something like that.

- 37:43Speaker 4: some reason whatever it was just the spelling of it.
