Speaker 2 (00:21):
But right now it's time for this. Now, let's cool
around the sports k td qweints as all the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yea, yeah, a big game four tonight in Edmonton and
luckily not one of those eight thirty starts though this
thing will going around seven seven fifteen. As we'll start.
The Stars are down two to one. They got lit
up on Sunday afternoon. We were keeping an eye on
it while we were at BFD. Saw a couple of
dudes in Stars fans.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
They're like, what's the score? I was like, you really
want to know? It's don't want to know five to
one right now.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Bud Ben and I were sitting there with our friend
Priscilla watching the first period, and man, when they just
got lit up back to back like that, and the
way things went the other night where they couldn't get
any or the game two where they couldn't get the
past the goaltender.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You're center thinking, no, it's gone like this.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Huh. So one of Edmonton's best players is out tonight,
Connor Brown, and he's scorn like fourteen points in the playoffs.
Not Connor McDavid, who yelled and yelled and lit a
fire under that.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Maybe.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, so that is all fun though tonight more playoff
action here. It's been weird, you know, with the Mavericks
not making the playoffs and.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They usually do.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, but it's been good that the Stars have once
again gone on another run and we've still got some
semblance of playoff action because the Rangers are so bad
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
What is happening?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh my god, they can't hit.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And you know, I'm not watching Ranger games, but i'll
you know, read stories, and it is so amazingly frustrating
that the pitching they're getting, it's i mean, it's unbelievable
how good they're pitching is. And this team that we
thought would be one of the best offensive lineups, I
think they're twenty six and twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Now you can't be mad. Yeah, twenty six and twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, you can't be mad at the Marcus Simian contract
because you won a World Series, right, But he has
become maybe the worst hitter in the league.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It's believe me, I and.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I It's it's I'm like, how how has this happened?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
What do I do?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Adulis Garcia, We'll swing at the first pitch, no matter
where it's at, if it's behind him, he's swinging at it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He's always been like that, though, what are you doing?
He's always been like that. But uh, so I did
I actually forgot to go. Look did u did osuona play?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Oh? Sooner?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Played so soon? I had two hits yesterday. Oh my god,
Oh my god? What's wind? Tell everybody? Who is so?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They brought up this guy who he you know, got
in made to spring training. He's in the minor league system.
He's a little tiny guy, plays out for those names
Alejandro Osuna, and he's very nice and energetic. He's one
of those guys that all the media outlets would like
to interview in spring training. My guys in Witch Tall
Falls who who I know forever? Like they're like, oh,
he was our favorite guy spring training because he's fun.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And wasn't he pretty much the best player in spring training?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, he was really good and then he like went
to triple A and then dominant. So I think he
was their minor league player of the year last year.
He's like, he looks like rookie.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
He's little and he's not as stout as rookie, but
he's little and left handed, and he had two big
hitch yesterday and he's the only guy with a professional
approach at the play and uh.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So he's in and they and he got hoping to
keep him around.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
They're trying to get evan carter back Corey Seeger supposed
to come back this week, so there's like potential to
get the ball rolling because and.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Who did they he replaced who on the roster that's
going on the disabled list? John Peterson got hit in
the hand by okay, and it did it break his hand?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I look like it broken finger or something cracked it
or something. He'll he'll put him on the ten day list,
so he may not be gone long. Okay, he was
starting to hit too, so it's kind of unfortunate. Yeah,
uh so, Yeah, I don't know why we got into
that range. Basketball Jones saying it, uh so the uh
I really was hoping that the t Wolves would squeeze
(03:55):
it out last night, and they just they got too
constipated at the end.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Why I could, Uh, that's not good basketball, Nelson.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And when he had twenty three and a half above
for Anthony Edwards and he just can only get sixteen
for you.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I mean he was barely even taking shots. You can
get that many shots that you need to crap up
out of him? Is that the game where ended where
the fan caught the ball.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Before it went a bounds.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Oh that made me so angry, Like, sit down, you idiot,
you're not a part.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But I still am looking at that. I still don't
understand how they didn't get more time on the clock.
I thought it should have been like a second, yeah,
or point eight. Yeah, they got point They went up
with point three, which is enough to catch and shoot,
but not really.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I didn't like to play to try to lob it
in either, but let's just try a half court shot.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
But again, if they had had a full second or
point eight, they could have ran something different for a.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Catch and shoot.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So I don't understand that the thunder up three to
one and the Thunder will be going to the NBA
Finals after one more win.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, so I did not actually see the knicks big comeback,
but I did that they were down twenty, so I
was I saw my son on Saturday night and I
hadn't watched the game, and I just pulled up the score.
I go, oh, okay, I see the Knicks one one, o,
six to one hundred. My son goes the Knicks one.
I was like, yeah, he goes, dude. They were down
a lot, huge comeback.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So I looked at my phone Sunday because this is
this is going down Sunday while we were at BFD, right,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right. That's why
I missed it. And it was just people crapping on
the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And then to find out that they won, I was like, wait,
I thought just based off a few things I just
seemed tweeted, I was like, oh, okay, there's.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No way they won. Yeah. So they had a crazy
come back and they're in it. Yeah, and uh so
that's fun.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Karl Anthony Towns was benched in Game two, in which
they you know, lost at home and went down Oh two.
I think he had sixteen in the fourth quarter of
that game when they because they sat him like nine
minutes in the fourth quarter a long time in Game
two and they lost. And the other thing too, man,
they they on the ESPN set. You have Mike Malone
(06:02):
who just got fired, you know, but he coached a
team to an NBA championship. You have Bob Meyer, who
was the GM that built the dynasty in Golden State.
How many rings did they get? And then you have
Kendrick Perkins, like him or not, he was on He
was a starter on a Boston Celtics championship team, three
champions And they're all just sitting there watching Steven A.
(06:23):
Smith foam at the mouth and yell and call people,
you know, chokers, And I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just going, why do we have to do that? Do
you know?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
They show footage of him walking into the arena, Like
ABC cuts to stephen A. Smith walking into the arena
the worst, Like it's like, it's like wrestling.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I do not get it.
