Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guess who is on the phone right now, legendary sportscaster
Warner Wolf live from a place that's even warmer than here.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Good morning to you, Warner.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is. You're right, So you got the yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I was gonna say, so, the Knicks, Celtics, who can't
shoot straight? What's going on? Tell us all of it?
You know, I know nothing about sports, but I do
know a lot about my Warner Wolf.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well, you know, of course. Really the big story is
the Celtics blew two twenty point leafs in games one
and two. Otherwise it's three games the none when the
Celtics went leading. But you talk about the gang that
couldn't shoot straight? The Knicks. After hitting only five out
(00:47):
of twenty five to three pointers in Game three, they
are now just thirty one for ninety three three pointers
for the series, and the Celtics are no better, only
forty five out of one hundred and forty three pointers.
That means they've missed almost one hundred and three pointers.
(01:10):
I mean, these guys, they can't and then they keep
throwing them up. So Game four is here tonight, So
that's the deal I want. They're gonna keep shooting the
three pointers Hey, how about those Colorado Rockies. They fire
manager Bud Black yesterday with a record of seven and
(01:33):
thirty three. But after he beats the Padres yesterday nine
to three, that'll teach him, all right, And Natalie and
Crash can join on this one. As of today, is
there a feedback by.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The way, No, you sound great?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh? Oh good? Okay, I'm sorry, I am all right.
Here we go. As of today, we've had over twelve
hundred games played by the thirty teams, with two starting
pitchers of course for each game. So that's over twenty
four hundred starting pitchers. Of the twenty four hundred starting pitchers,
(02:19):
how many complete nine inning games have been thrown?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
One?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All of you take a guess one.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'll say one. Crash is going with two, Natalie I
said one, Oh yeah, and I'm with Natalie. I say one.
I say one as well, and Crash is going with two.
How close are we? Warner?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, it was four uill Friday night when Eric Fadi
pitched a complete game. So it's five.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's shocking, actually shockingly low. I was just going crazy
low because I figured why not right, because of the
question why.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's a sad commentary. Well, i'll tell you. I'll get
right to it in just a second. In one of
my stooges. Oh, here's one for you. The new owners
of the Utah Hockey Club the National Hockey League, they
bought the team from Phoenix, moved to Salt Lake. They
(03:19):
had this big contest involving eight hundred and fifty thousand
fans to name the new name for the team. Oh okay,
so they they had their name Outlaws, which by the way,
came in first. The hockey Club, which came in second.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And wait a minute, the hockey club. That was as
creative as they could get for the hockey club.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well that's what they were known as.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Not even the good hockey club, just the place.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I thought the Outlaws sounded bad, but that that's worse.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The third name is Mammoth, like the hairy mammoth. It
came in third, and that's who they picked.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh, I was feel worried about like a plural singular
thing like the mammoth, and you're talking about a group
of people.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It no, it's that's it's the extinct twelve foot tall,
twelve thousand pound animal that resembled a hairy elephant. Yes,
it wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, an interesting mascot. So there you go, a mammoth
running around the hockey rink.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Hey, yo, you look like a hairy elephant, a skating mammoth.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
They were afraid of naming it outlaws, you know the connotation.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah that that that wasn't good. I can't even believe
that was number one. Okay, yeah, yeah, unreal.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So you got three stooges. Okay, stage number one and
this is what we were talking about. Yankee manager Aaron
Boone who took out his starter Carlos Rodin last week
with two outs in the seventh, allowing only three hits
and a three nothing lead over the Rays. The Rays
got four and the eighth off his bullpen and beat
(05:15):
the Yanks four to three. Win. Will Boone realize that
Marianna Rivera is not coming out of his bullpen? Forget
the overrated pitch count and analytics. Instead ask how's he
doing and what's the score. If the Yanks missed the
playoffs by one game, they can look back to this
(05:38):
game and blame it on Aaron Boone. All right, Stage
number two are stooge number two, and take the stage.
It's Red Sox dh Raphael Devers, he refused to play
first base. Devers, former All Star third baseman, reluctantly. He
became the Socks DH this year and now says he
(06:00):
doesn't want to move again. Here's a guy making twenty
seven million dollars a year part of a ten year,
three hundred and thirteen million dollar deal.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The Reds had Pete Rose play second base, third base,
left field, and right field. Never complained. The Yankees even
had Yogi Vera playing left field so Elston Howard could catch.
Nobody complained. Man Devers, what a team player? And thu
jnumber three a pretty serious one. The daughter of actress
(06:37):
Maggie Gillenhaal, who was Jewish, was charged with criminal trespassing
after taking part in an anti Israel protest at Columbia University.
Her mother should explain to her daughter that as a Jew,
if she went to Palestine, Hermas would either execute her
(06:59):
on the spot or at best hold her hostage, and
who knows what they would do. I thought the best
line of the day came from New York postwriter Douglas Murray,
who wrote free the Palestinian Signs should read free the
(07:19):
Palestinians from Hamas that's what it should be. All right.
Do I have time for tribute to Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
We got about fifteen seconds, you got it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Here is It's time now for the Mother's Day song.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And as for the many smiles you gave me, oh,
it's for the other thing you did. T is for
the times you forgave me. H is for the happiness
we see. Put them all together. That spells morph.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
A warner every year against me. I love you, warter Wolf.
You are just the best. God bless you, my friend.
