Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's our number one. We try not to have
a rounding error here in our one of the original
Recipe podcast. The American League Championship Series kicks us off
on this Wednesday, hump Day, the sixteenth day of the month.
The Guardians and the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How would you describe.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The Guardians' performance after two games? After two games, they're
zero to two in the series and heading forward to
life support. Also, what can Cleveland manager Steven Vote do
to turn this around? And how are things going on
the other side for Aaron Boone and the Yankees, who
(00:44):
have certainly benefited from the generosity of the team formerly
known as the Indians. As we ramble on here, it
is our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
A Bronx blast well gone.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere, mixing and mingling as
we keep Discovery Coach stut Coast Sport in the border
and beyond on the mast and breathtakingly powerful microphones of
(01:21):
FSR am moating live from the shop, the sweatshop of
sports Talk. We're open all night, broadcasting live from at
ty rack dot com studios tyrackt dot com will.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Help you get there and on match selection.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyract dot com the way tire buying
should be. I know, somewhere in Cleveland, our buddy Strip
Club John, He's singing about that Cleveland baseball team.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's like, wow, man, I mean they had like ten
thousand chances. Howd that work out?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And that is our lead, actually our lead this hour
from the Big Apple, the Bronx Zoo, to be exact.
That was the stage for the second act of the
American League Championship Series, Game two back in New York.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know if you were watching or not. Maybe not,
you didn't miss much. We watched because there wasn't anything
else on other than you know, exhibition basketball mostly, so
we watched that you would not have to. And what happened,
debt to the point, please well the much maligned rightfully.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So every judge.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Aaron Judge woke up from hibernation hit a two run
dinger some four hundred and fourteen feet out to Monument Park,
his first home run of the postseason. Welcome, and the
Yankees overwhelmed the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Six to three.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Cleveland got a garbage time home run from Jose Ramirez
in the ninth inning, but they were down from pillar
to post and they now they the Yankees have a
two nothing lead in the American League Championship Series. Judge
entered with just one RBI in the playoffs. He also
had a sackfly and the two run bomb there that
(03:16):
put the Yankees ahead as well. So they were up
three to nothing on the sackfly. Then he hit the
home run the two rundinger later on after a day off.
You know, it takes a long time to get from
New York to Cleveland. I mean that's a lot of travel.
They travel by stage coach. Game three will be Thursday
in Northern Ohio. Tickets are available. So let us discuss
(03:36):
the question, how would you describe better story in the
losing locker room? We know that, So how would you
describe the Guardians would have done? Named their performance through
two games of the American League Championship Series. So I
have a nursery rhyme, agent K, and price tag and
(03:56):
we will tie all of these things together. Are going
to scratch an itch, is what we're going to do.
So A this did appear on my TV, and I
don't know about your TV, and maybe you're blind and
you don't have a TV.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
But it looked to me or it sounded to me like.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
A Murphy's law situation that anything that could go wrong
has gone wrong for.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The team formerly known as the Indians.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The engine is sputtering, and we would like to revise
a nursery rhyme, and we'll change the lyrics a little bit.
So instead of London Bridge.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You heard that when you were a child, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Guardian's Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. Guardian's
Bridge is falling down, my fair lady. Yes, when you strength,
when your strength becomes your weakness, right, when your strength
becomes your weakness.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That is what has happened.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now. All the build up and how dominant Cleveland was,
they were built for the playoffs because they had the
big fundamental. That day, they did everything pretty well, nothing
that great. The bullpen was outstanding, and that was really
the selling point that they were fundamentally sound, good defensive team,
situational hitting, relief pitching. It's all gone to crap, all
(05:15):
of it, right, it is turned to absolute dust.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
In the first two games.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
In Game one, there were the five wild pitches that
handed the Yankees a pair of runs. In Game number two,
there was not one but two unearned runs scored by
a pair of fielding errors by the Cleveland baseball team,
and that vaunted bullpen didn't seem all that invincible. Now,
page two, So you make the call, what can what
(05:44):
can Cleveland manager Steven Vote? What can Steven Vote do.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
To turn this round? What can he do?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What can you do?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Cleveland down two?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And my advice, my advice to see even vote the
manager of the Cleveland baseball team is to take a
page from old Cub manager Joe Madden back in the day,
his mantra, which is simple, it's for words. I would
put this all over the locker room. Try not to suck, right,
because right now you suck. Do better and be better.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
At this point, if.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're Cleveland, you're polishing turds as they have sucked in
every area. It's the JV versus the varsity. And now
how about you bring in from the iconic movie Men
in Black, Agent K the neuralizer. And of course we
know from that movie and the many movies that followed,
it has the ability to wipe the.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Mind of anybody who.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Sees that flash from the neuralizer, and once the locker
room has been neuralized, they will enter this trance kind
of like the way they're playing right now, and then
you can reprogram them, right, You can replace those memories
of wild pitches and misplayed balls in the outfield or
infield wherever, and recreate some magic with a little home cooking.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I do know this based.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
On the past and what has happened in years gone by,
and people always, broadcasters always.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Want you engaged. In fact, you were watching on TBS.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
They were saying, well, last year the Philadelphia Phillies look
like they were going to dominate and then they had
to go to Arizona and the whole thing turned upside down. Well,
that is true. That is the exception. Okay, the exception does.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Not make the rule. That's not how it works. But
one victory in Game three does ratchet up the tension
for the Bronx Bombers.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They're supposed to win this game in a sweep, and
they look light years away. It looks like they're playing
a different sport than the team formerly known as the Indians.
But in the blink of an eye, this thing can
turn upside down?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Do I think that's going to happen? I see no evidence.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I see deer in the headlights from Cleveland. The moment's
too big. They can't handle it. You know, the brights,
the bright lights, all of that. Right now, last word here,
So how are things going on the other side? Right
we're talking about what's going on here with Cleveland. Will
take a quick look behind the curtain for the Yankees,
(08:20):
and how are things going for Aaron Boone and the
Bronx Bombers right at this particular point. And on this one,
it's it's rather simple, Okay, it's rather simple. And you
are the beneficiary, all right. They are the benefactor, Cleveland,
and you are the beneficiary of their generosity here, and
(08:42):
you don't look at the price tag of the gift.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You just accept the gift. And you know, sloppy Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It's like an ice cream cone melting under the bright
lights of Off Broadway. I'd like to point out that
when I've been to one Broadway show fun fact for right,
for my fun fact about Broadway, the only difference between
Off Broadway and on Broadway in New York is the
number of seats that if you have a smaller theater.
(09:13):
It's called off Broadway, even though it doesn't necessarily have to.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Be off Broadway, just the number of seats. Anyway, Garrett Cole,
as we anticipated, was shaky.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
He didn't make it through five innings. He was on
the ropes. But the former tribe let him off the hook.
You want to crown him, then crown him.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
How about the Cleveland quick hook talk about them not
being able to handle the bright lights and all that.
That's certainly the case it would appear in this particular
situation as it was. Surprising is the word I will use.
Surprising the way this turned out here where the starter
who you thought would go four or five innings was
(09:52):
pulled after I think just a handful if I remember
correctly of batters. Now, mathematically speaking, and we're all about
math math, if you look at the numbers here, it
is overwhelming in favor of the Pinstripers. In the best
of seven postseason series, the team that wins each of
the first two games has gone on to win those
(10:14):
series eighty four percent of the time, seventy six out
of ninety one.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
That's eighty four percent.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Although as the great sportscaster Dick Stockton taught me years
ago before he retired. Remember that stats tell you what
has happened, not necessarily what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
That's why they play the games. That's why they play
the games.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And while Cleveland certainly appears to be hanging on by
a thread at this point and the Yankees are strutting
around like peacocks, it just seems like a foregone conclusion.
The Yankees are going to win. The big turning point
for me is Game three, and if that goes the
way the Yankees, then it's turnout. The last the parties
(10:59):
over the next three games are in northern Ohio, so
the Yankees have been pretty good on the road overall.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
They had a bit of.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
A rough patch about a month ago or so, but
overall been in a pretty pretty good shape. It is
the Ben Mahlors Show. If you would like to be
part of this, we open up the phone lines hocus pocus,
Abra cadabra, and you can join the festives of talk
(11:31):
if you like, and all the lines are open right now.
Also on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at Ben
Malor if you'd like to chime in. So you probably
know by now that there is a Major League Baseball
team that is relocating. The former Oakland Athletics will be
in Sacramento. It's a stopover allegedly until they moved to
(11:53):
Lost Wages, Nevada. That will be several years down the line.
They haven't broken ground yet on the proposed ballpark, although
they have demoed the hotel where the ballpark is gonna go.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But is it true that the A's are not alone?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Another major League Baseball team other than the Athletics will
be relocating for the twenty twenty five MLB season. A
interesting developing story. We'll get to that, and we will.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Do it next.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
The Ben Malor Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on X He's
at Ben Mallor, and you can post at and follow
me Eddie Garcia not Eddie Montana. I'm at Eddie on Fox.
I have pooped the bed. I'm your news guy. You're
(13:00):
update Guy. You're announcer Guy and how live from the
tirec dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mahler.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
We're rolling through the all Night and coming up later
in hour two of Mallard of the Third Degree, our
three Too Much or Not Enough and the Queen of
Hearts with lorrain Ah and she's if I don't promote
that that she will take a baseball bat and bludgeon me.
So I have decided to promote the Queen of Hearts,
(13:29):
which will be coming up in our three. If you
want to send a question in right now, you don't
have to wait. You can do it right now and
maybe we'll use it, maybe we won't, depends how.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Good it is.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And that is hashtag Queen of Hearts. If you can't
spell Queen of Hearts, you're probably not that right. You
may have wanted to pay more attention when you were
in school. Can't help you on that. But most smartphones,
even those Obama phones like weed Man uses the other
guys they have like spell check ah yah. Also we
have password the word Game of the Stars that'll be
(13:59):
coming up an hour four, but you'll likely be long
gone by then. We began with some hot baseball talk
as the Yankees looking pretty good two games into the
American League Championship Series, it does not look like it's
going to last all that long. Jason in Cannes City Rights,
(14:19):
and he says nine out of ten on the Mala monologue, man,
I thought you'd lead with the Minnesota Wild's dominant performance,
but I digress. The Yankees did what we thought they
would do and will continue that. That's from Jason in
KC Late Night Drug Tester, where the pretty good line
he says, it looks like the Yankees are back to
treating the American League Central.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
As a simulated game during the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Luckily, the Twins avoided that punishment this year, and void
did the Twins do it with bells and whistles? Epic
gag by the Minnesota Twins down the stretch to make
sure they missed out on the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
King Rory writes in Duck Kang.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He says, who actually pays any attention to the NBA
until April at the earliest. Besides, there is hockey in
college football to watch. Who doesn't want to see Kennesaw
State versus Middle Tennessee State on a Tuesday night October
has to.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Be the greatest sports month of all year.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It's debatable depend the optimism of the spring, that's also
time of the year. It depends what you're into, what
gets you going, what gets you all jones up, Christopher
writes in representing the blind community. He says, it's so
(15:42):
surprising that the Yankees versus Cleveland the Love started the show.
When you missed a massive Lions move and you didn't
start with the Jets.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
There you go, Aaron gets what he wants. Well, yeah,
the Jets stories.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That happened like when I was just going to bed.
So it's kind of we'll go get to it. There's
plenty of time. And Aaron Rodgers runs the Jets. That's great.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You know, he's got that power to run the whole operation.
Good for him. Whatever he wants, he's gonna get.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And it would appear that DeVante Adams totally played the
Raiders and the Raiders fell for his little game, and
all of a sudden, by changing teams, his hamstring is
ready to go. It's interesting how that works. I'm sure
there's no coincidence with that no Quinkie deck at all.
Mickey in State forty eight. That would be the great
(16:32):
state of Arizona. He says, thank you for your hour
number one mal being about baseball, it hit me while
listening to the America League Championship Series on radio while
door dashing that Eddie Perez sounds exactly like Eddie. Just
an observation, Well, all those Eddies the same, although I
(16:53):
don't know. Some guy named is that the old baseball
player Eddie Perez? Is that what he's doing now?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah? Well we learned at Eddie's life. Last name is
Montana last night Eddie Montana, and a.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Lot of people don't know that. I didn't even know that.
I've known any many years.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It either.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That is such a great last name. There's a girl
I used to watch on TV. Her name was Hannah Montana.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
My cousin. Can you introduce me to her?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, yes, Eddie's connected.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Back in the day, when I first got into radio,
a person suggested I changed my name because my name
was too generic, you know, something kind of pizazz it
up a little bit. Maybe I should have gone with
Eddie Montana.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Have you had a fake radio name? Have you used
a different way?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, we talked about it that one time. I remember
we were doing those weird updates here. We had to
send out these other updates news. Yeah, yeah, and they
told us we couldn't use our real name, so we
had to make up names, and so we all kind
of had fun with it.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Would you choose study Freddy?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I was Edmund Dallas, which is my middle name.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Sounds like a weather guy, yeah, kind of.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
And then your guy, your guy Tom Looney was Thomas Luna.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Of course, go with the Thomas, but I Thomas.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I did have a fake name at one point, and
it was a tribute back before the internet took over,
and there were these radio TV columnists and this guy
Larry Stewart who who wrote it was a big deal
back then to have your name in the newspaper.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know, it mattered, people read it, and it was
a big deal.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And he kind of critical of me, and then he
wrote something nice about me, and I was very excited,
except he misspelled my name and he called me Ben Waller,
and so I went I went with that for a while,
Ben Waller.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, it was off by a letter.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
And then we've heard Mallard and Miller and Mahler.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, the most famous story is the company website when
they redid it years ago, and they sent on a
company white email for everyone to check the website because
they're very proud that they spent a lot of hours
recreating the website. And then they misspelled both my first
and last name. Yes, they got no. No, I guess even better.
(18:58):
So that was it Bill Miller. I believe it was,
And so then I emailed him. I said, you know,
this kind of fed up, you know, I mean, I
was excited and they misspelled my name. I've worked here
for a number of years. This is kind of embarrassing
to me. They said, don't worry, Ben, we're going to
fix it. No problem, We're going to fix it. So
then they changed I think it was it was Bill Maller.
After that they changed the last name, but they still
(19:19):
call me Bill, so it was or vice versa.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But that was just wonderful. I forty ian who's on
the down low. The DL writes it. He says, I
just finished listening to the hour.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Four of last night's podcast, The Slugger Slug in Vegas.
His call with hollering James set off the alarm on
my heart monitor. The nurse had to run in and
check on me. The new tagline for the show, The
Ben Mahler Show, So funny you might die laughing when
(19:53):
we love you, I forty in. We will try not
to be funny at all. That is the goal, to
do boring, humdraw talk radio. We want to be as
uninteresting as I mean. There's some guys that have worked
that do this that are just I mean, you want
to bang your head against the wall.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That would be more entertaining. So we're gonna try to
be like that.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We've had a listener, as you know, I forty in
cardiac Stanley who had a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We don't want to keep all the listeners. As I
pointed out, we don't have don't have a lot, so
we have to keep what we have. Now Nick says,
that was the worst fun fact that I give. That
is not a bad fun fact. That is a great
fun fact. That the only difference between Broadway and off
Broadway is the number of No, that's a great fun
for you didn't know that. See, you don't have the
(20:37):
arts like I'm an artistic person. Okay, I'm a thespian
is what I am, and I respect the arts clearly.
I never want to go to another Broadway show because
the theaters are all one hundred years old and I'm
fit in them. But I did pay my dues. I
went to one Broadway show. That's all I need to do.
Ferg Dog writes in he says, you're kind of the
(20:58):
air in Rogers of FSR. When you hate a producer
or a board op, Don Martin fires them immediately. And
he knows, Yeah, he knows who puts bread on his table?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Wrong?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, right now, Don's yawning, is what Don's doing. He's snow.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
He's probably been asleep though two hours, two or three
hours he's been. But we got rid of Iowa Sam,
you know, or he just couldn't handle the overnight.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And Roberto we got rid of him too. Just get
rid of him.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, gone see you later, get out of here, one
hundred percent all right. If you'd like to send a message,
If you'd like.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
To send a message, send it on the X machine
formerly known as Twitter. Very simple. Just follow me on there.
It's Ben Maler m A l l e R.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
If you don't know how to spell Ben, your dummy,
so don't follow me, and then just send me a message.
Tag me on that and then we might read it
on the air, we go through a lot of messages.
I see the calls are piling up here, so we'll
get to some of those calls as well.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And is it true.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
That another Major League Baseball team other than the Athletics
will be relow next baseball season? Well, it appears so.
As a hurricane Milton has destroyed.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
The roof of Tropical Field.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We talked about that, and the estimate, the early estimate
on how to repair this is this is outstanding. It
would cost nine figures nine figures to replace the roof
at the ballpark. Now, the problem is the Rays are
(22:33):
already building another ballpark which won't be ready. The other
issue is they can't just play there. I don't know
if you know this. If you're in Florida, you know
this kind of rains a lot, right, I mean when
you live in Florida. It's certainly in that area of
Florida it rains a fair amount. And they have the
rainy season where it rains every afternoon and so there's
no drainage system. So just putting that in would be
(22:55):
be a nightmare. What's the point of putting that in
because it makes no sense. The team's gonna be leaving
and all that, and I assume they'll tear that thing
down and get it.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I don't know what they're gonna build there. Who knows,
God only knows what.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I used to say they'd build a shopping mall, but
they don't really build shopping malls anymore, although those outdoor
ones do pretty well, but only in places where you
can go outdoor outdoors more than five months a year,
which is not not everwhere. So the Tampa Bay Rays
need a ballpark to play, and they have options.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Door number one. Door number one would be to play
in one of the many spring training ballparks in the
Tampa area.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The Yankees spring training park has been mentioned. See it's
about twelve thousand. The Rays don't even draw that many fans,
so you could do that, all right. The A's are
gonna be playing in a minor league ballpark, so the
Rays could do that. The other option would be there's
a couple of other options. If they really want to
stick it to the athletics. They could move the Rays
for a couple of years out to Oakland and have
(23:54):
them play at the Coliseum. Something tells me that is
not going to happen. And then the third option would
be on a barnstorming tour. As baseball is going to
expand in the next couple of years and they're looking
at several cities. Now Vegas was going to get an
expansion team, but they're gonna get the A's allegedly. So
one of the other cities that's likely going to get
(24:16):
a team is Nashville, so you could put a team
in Nashville. Another city as a possibility in the South
is Charlotte. Now there's also an option of just moving
them across the state of Florida over to Jacksonville. I'm
not sure about the ballpark situation if that they have
something that would work, but those are the other options
for the race.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But it would appear.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That they are going to be in a new ballpark
next year, and that decision has to be made. Logistically,
they're going to have to be somewhere in the South.
The schedule has been made so for travel reasons, teams
generally go to another city within reasonable flying distance, So
you can't.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Really put a team in Oakland, but it would be fun.
It would be fun if they did that.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
We're rolling on through the late night and masshole. Mickey
writes in and it says, hello, although he didn't get fired,
but hasn't covered covered on your show in a hot minute,
sparty guys, guy sucks and I have to listen to him.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
On the weekend. I don't know. I don't know what
that is.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Spock's weed writes, and he says, we have an outdoor
mall close to where I live in Oregon.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Why, I don't know. Yeah, you get a lot of rain.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
We got one across the street.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, but here in southern California they do pretty well
outdoor malls. But that used to be an indoor mall
across the street.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Remember it was a famous indoor mall.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Actually it filmed a lot of movies there back in
the day. And outdoor malls and Oregon are ridiculous because
you have to open and close your umbrella every time
you walk outside. Yeah, well, rain generally, what happens when
it rains a lot? You have to like move hat
the rain. Really, I can't stand the rain. I don't
(26:09):
mind the rain.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
And it rains all right, Well, we don't get a
lot of it. So that's why we don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I guess it was fine.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I don't get depressed in the rain or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I don't go outside, so who cares? I stay inside,
I don't go out. Let's go to the phones. We'll
take some calls here, why not, and in the leadoff
chair someone that will likely not be on there very long.
We'll say hello to angry Bill, who's always complaining about
something very angry.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Hello, angry Bill, Well, what we.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Gotta do tonight? Ben is a nice and calm Okay,
don't get excited. I want to start off first with
your cy Young Award winner who pitched last night, Derek Cole. Okay,
four innings, six hits? How many runs you gave up?
The rocks couldn't even make it through the fifth enem
you get the wind. Let's just forget about him, who
(27:02):
you say is a cy Young Award winner. Let's just
leave it at that yell.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
We all imagine, we all imagine that he want to say, young,
we made that off and it didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Try to be calm. Say the thing I really want
to get onto these two managers, the Dodger manager and
the Met manager, I'm a Met fan. He scares me.
He's got Otani up first base open. He don't wook him,
the Dodger manager. He goes ahead and bunch people over,
gets an extra couple runs in that blowout game, which
(27:36):
was a good thing to do because it got kind
of close. It was in a couple of pictures of
being close. But the Met manager scares me. How does
the n NEC that this picture? The star pitcher that
starts the game, he can't even My grandmother called me
from the grave telling me to tell the Met manager
that this guy can't get it over the plate. He
couldn't see the guy couldn't get it over the plate?
(27:57):
What was wrong with that manager?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Now? What I love about?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Can I tell you what I love about your phone call?
What I'm enjoying is your lying biomission, and I love
that about you.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I love that you are choosing to lie biomission.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's wonderful because it proves that I'm right and I
appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Hey, lie about what, mister mal well, what is it?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What do you love? What do you put your pants
down about? Those bullpen games?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
You love those bullpen games? So the Cleveland Guardians used
the bullpen game. How'd that work out for him?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
When did they use it?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
They had eight pictures? Did you not watch the game?
They used eight pictures in the game.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Were you not watching? Are you? I mean company?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So you're talking one time, mister mal.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's two days in a row.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
By the way, the Dodgers did it on Monday and
it didn't work. The Cleveland baseball team did it on
a Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It didn't work. So I believe that's called the trend.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
You're thinking that they're using it the proper way, but
the one way and.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
The way the Angry Bill system.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yes, the overnight you and Dom the Eagle security guy
are a side by side. I'm not changing this such.
I'm very calm, I'm not worked up. It's fine, I
have everything is great.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Let's say I'm talking about the manager of the Mets
who was absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Now, can now, can the Rays move to your backyard?
Do you have a backyard? Could the Tampa Bay Rays
playing Jacksonville? Can they move over?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
There?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Is that possible? You can manage him. We'll let you
manage the team next year.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Well, I would do a lot better than what I
see on the Mets right now. That's what's got me concerned.
Did you see a close up of Roberts and the
Dodger manager. They did a couple of close ups on him.
Doesn't he look like a real worm? He looks truly
wormy to me, What do you think?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, I've never I've never been up close to a worm.
I I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I don't really need to watch Dave Roberts in the dugout,
sitting there with the sunglasses on.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
And what do you want from me? He looks warmy?
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What kind of what kind of worm?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Though? Like?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Do you know which which speci? He's a worm?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He looks at the head of the worm that's got
that big head on it. It's got the one little
thing looking at you that.
