Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two, The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon, Live from the ti iraq dot Com studios.
Top of the ninth in inning, one out, Yankees trying
to close out the Guardians, but Jose Ramirez says not
so fast. Go solo home run brings the Guardians back
to within three. It is six to three. A Yankee

(00:50):
fan caught the home run ball through it back off.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
He's an idiot.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Throws are running off the field.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
So six to three, one out in the ninth inning,
Yankees trying to go up two games to none in
the ALCS. We'll have more on this game coming up
in a few minutes. John Paul Morosi, who's doing this
game right now. A couple of different entities, like for
MLB's on the one of the other. He's doing the
data cast ard on True TV, so he's gonna have
lots of great stories about crazy legal cases.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
From did he get into the crime vaults? And truths.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
I think he will Billy be uh like kind of
the outside reporter like they used to have back in
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
What do you think is gonna happen in this case?
The Carbonaro effect.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
He'll be on that yeah, oh yeah, prank callers.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
So we'll have Morosi coming up in a bit following
this game.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Looks like the Yankees are gonna go up two games
to none, and I gotta say, I think that's probably
gonna do it for the Guardians trying to win four
out of five against this lineup. When you have home
field advantage, you come back home if you need to.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I know that, y'all. The series doesn't really begetting.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
If someone doesn't get the first two games, that's the series, right,
You're going up to zi. There's a reason why eighty
percent of the teams win that series. And I know,
for for television, for all kinds of saying, it's all
hey to nothing is not a beat.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's why Monday I was gripping my ass off at
Dodger Stadium, going if we lose this game, that's it, right,
Oh yeah, we're going on there. But what we gotta
do is lucky is lose one game. If we're down
to is it, we're gonna lose the series.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
I would.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
You gotta have When the.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
First two runners got on FROSTPG, tell tell me you
didn't want a camera all right hovering over the top
of him.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I really thought I was going to get on TV
when when Diaz put Otan. When Diaz walked Otani, I
had my hands over my eyes and I had my
my t shirt, my met shirt up over my eyes,
like I can't believe he just walked.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
How do you just w just pitch to him? It's
a four run lead?

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Did you did you put that Dodgers towel that you
gave frostbring in your mouth like you were frank the tank?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Why was it sticky? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
My dad spilled soda on it. I'm sorry, spilled soda.
I'll there, Yeah, that's I. I just wanted to make
sure that that was I wanted to make sure that
that was there and that was what it was?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right? Very good? That one My dad was drinking,
So he is. My dad very happy tonight of six
three Yankees.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
He's Judge at a home run and Stanton didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
So it's a happy day for my dad.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
You see, we want six three. You see what Stanton
did nothing. I'm happy when Judge does well and Stanton
doesn't and we win. That's like in the world for
He's still gonna burn a Stanton jersey in his yard.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Stan could win with a walk off home run in
the ninth inning of Game seven, a grand slam to
beat the Dodgers for three and beat o'tani who comes
in to try to save the game in the ninth
and my dad would go first that he's ever gotten.
That's really mattered.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Whoever the guy was that was on first that scored
the tie. Hey, hey, this is this inning was made
possible before Stanton came up.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Stanton gets zero, gets zero credit for anything.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's it's hysterical.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I don't know who gives my dad gives less credit
to Stanton or the bullpen, because everything it's the bullpen
is terrible. I'm like, Dad, they're pitching really well. Ah,
it said just lucky dude. In the off season, Jason
in the off season. Stanton lives like down the street
from us.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Really, he went to Notre Dame High School right now,
that's right, I know that's out here in the eight eight. Okay,
so we'll bring you on the show him in on
a prank for your dad. Oh absolutely, yeah, Yeah, that'd
be pretty good. That would that would be pretty good.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Knocks on your dad's door. I heard you've been talking. Crap.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Hey, dad, I got the Stanton here, But tell him
to beat it. Dad.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
There's the show opened the door.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
All our friends and family that that have talked, smacked
and against an athlete, we find a way to get
them to show up with us. It's like we sit
down for lunch and then all of a sudden, why
why do why do we need the fourth chair?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
The case Mike, every jet and met Nick would be knocked.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Jason, I want to talk about you said about me
from nineteen eighty seven through nineteen ninety six. Okay, go ahead,
come on, Patrick Ewing, sit down.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
What do you got, miner that the Patrick man has
for you.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's like the end of the Jay and Silent Bob
strike Back, where they get on a plane and go
to every single person's house that said something bad about
them on the internet.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, beat the crop out of them.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
I like this.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Uh so again, we'll have more on the Yankees. Uh
Guardians game coming up in a few minutes. Meanwhile, Jerry
Jones making all kinds of headlines today for what go
wrong reasons. Now, as you know, Jerry Jones does a
weekly hit on one oh five to three the fan
in Dallas, and it's a very successful bit because usually

(05:51):
whatever Jerry Jones says on that Tuesday interview makes headlines
throughout the country.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
That's usually just kind of bad, kind of crazy. We
had come see my monkeys and everything else.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
And he was asked a couple of weeks ago if
the Cowboys slow start is on him, and he said.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yes, put it on me. Uh did you can blame
me if you want to small slow start? Yep. Moving
to the Saints that didn't can't believe that happened?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Tell him Archie Manning had a good game, didn't know, Uh,
Defie Henderson a couple of touchdowns. Hokeey guy John can
still run the ball. Uh didn't know, you know, real,
just to just moving around a little bit.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Garon Aaron Brooks gave US problems when he came in
the second half.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Uh, tough, tough game for US. Tough game. So a
few weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's forty five years Saints and over a bear came in.
Now he was pretty good. What zipping that happened? Marcus Colston,
he was good to Yep, No, just have guys, just
we just had problems.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Uh, Lily had problems the other they were switching on
him on defense.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Harvey Martin, Uh not play well? Uh Randy White Yep,
figured out we had more pressure on the quarterback. Didn't happen.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
So a couple of weeks ago, everything was fine and
he was okay with taking the blame for the slow start. However,
today on one oh five to three the Fan, he
decided he did not want to take the blame for anything,
and he was asked by the hosts on the radio, Hey, Jerry,
you know, do you think the reason you guys are
three and three another blowout loss they get thumped by

(07:21):
the Lions forty seven to nine is the reason you
know you're struggling because you didn't get a lot done
in the off season. But Jerry Jones was not having
any of that.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Conversation.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
This is not your job. Your job is to let
me go over all the reasons that I did something
and I'm sorry that I did it. That's not your job.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, my job is asking.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
The job, or I'll get another I'll get somebody else
to ask these questions.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Man, Jerry, We're just we're trying to figure out why
the team is.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
I'm not kidding it. I'm not kidding it. You're not
going to figure out it's what the team is doing
right or wrong. If you are are any five or
ten like you, you need to come to this meeting
I'm going to today. There are thirty two teams here,
your geniuses.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Jerry, You'll really think you're gonna sit there with a
microphone and tell me all of the things that I've
done wrong and without going over the rights.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Now, listen, we both know we're talking to a lot
of great fans and a lot of great listeners. And
I am very sorry for what happened out there Sunday.
I'm sick about what happened. One of the stupidest things
I've ever done that anybody has ever analyized is by
the Cowboys. It was an idiot that did that, so idiot.
Things can turn into good decisions. Okay, smart things can

(08:39):
turn into bad decisions. The facts are that when you
make one, you don't really know whether it's going to
be good or not at the time. So let's let's
just go ahead. I'm trying to answer you questions. Man,
you want some you want some conversation this morning, you're
getting that.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
So hey, hey, so Craft and Blank and Roger. These
are three guys from the radio. They wanted to come
to the owner's meeting today because they're pretty smart. So, uh,
I just can just sit here and just listen to
what we got to talk about here we talk about
big business, because you know, I'm worth fifteen billion dollars
and I can fire three radio hosts if I want to.

(09:15):
You know, I'm you know that that's with a b's
about to be Now, if I said million, that'd be
what I'd paid Deck for his signing bonus. But it's
B with a billion, and I could certainly, I mean,
I don't think these three guys together even make a
total of one hundred thousand dollars, so.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I could easily have these guys fired.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Uh if I wanted to questions, Wow, he just took
shots at the pay scale in local Dallas radio. But
I do like the fact that in answering that, saying hell,
I'll take you to the owner's meeting, basically called himself
and the other thirty one guys and families and whatever
conglomerates genius genius, which is good.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
You guys are not you guys on it again.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
And his point is that when he bought the Cowboys, folksally,
what are you doing like with a lot of these guys, Like,
why are you throwing money at this to distretch property.
It's like, because I have vision and I want to
own own it. I want to be part of this.
And now he's a rich man. I like that he
got all salty. This is great, look and it took
the zeros away from the Jets for him.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Well, look, because now we can break this down in
a better way than just how could you say that
a bucket? No, he's not gonna have these guys fired. Okay,
he lost his head in the middle of an interview.
Why because he has gone out of his way this
last year to say all.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
These decisions are mine.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Right before, it was well, this player, this didn't work,
this coach didn't work. We tried, we tried, we tried
to Jason gave Jason. But this year especially has been
this is me, all my decisions, all.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
My all in on this season, this is all me.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
And then I don't sign any players, and then I
ridiculously give Dak and CD money, which goes against not
bringing players in. I think everybody would have understood if
this was, Hey, this is gonna be the year that
is for the Cowboys, then we're gonna reset because it's
clearly not going for We've seen the best of Dak's
career and we're not any closer to a super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
But I'm giving these.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Guys money, and now I'm not gonna be able to
go out and get other players. So he has owned
all he has to own all this because for this
year especially, it's been me, me, me me. But now
the team is failing, and hey, Jerry, what are you
doing now? It's not his fault. I don't want to
talk about it. No, And and what he's missing is
the is the easiest part of this conversation. Is it
for him to go crazy like he had a bad

(11:27):
couple of minutes, I'm sure, and he went on I
don't think he's gonna fire radio hosts out, but he.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Doesn't own the only thing he could do is say,
I'm not coming on your show anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
All Yeah, that's go talk to somebody else. Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
I mean, that's really all. That's really what the threat was, Right,
It wasn't I'm firing. I'll get somebody else.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
He doesn't. I'm gonna buy this station. I'm gonna buy
the look. I'm worth fifteen million. I could buy.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
I could buy and sell your ass all every way
till Sunday.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Like to introduce you to the new host of the show,
Steven and Dave Campo. Go ahead with your questions. Go ahead, guys,
go ahead, I'm here. I'm here for you today. But yeah,
he threatened to fire the radio host.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
No he didn't.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
He threatened to take his conversation somewhere. I get somebody
else to ask the questions. I'll get somebody on. I'll
just have somebody else ask me these questions. I'll get
Stall back to ask me these questions. But this is
what Jerry Jones and and this is this is this
is this is my big takeaway from Jerry Jones with
this is that he's unhinged because he failed. And I understand,

(12:25):
I understand where he's coming from because he will. He
owned this season and now he's got to own the failure.
Somebody's pissed off about it. That's all it is. He's
pissed off about it. But what he does when he
sits here and wants to insult but behind the microphones off,
you want to take take on radio and TV hosts.
I will tell you this. This is where Joe Jerry
Jones has no leg to stand on. You want to
sit here and be upset. You don't know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You're not in the room. You're not here, you're not
the owners meet. You're all geniuses.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Sports, unlike many things in life, many things in life
is a very black and white business. Okay, it all
comes down to one thing in sports, right, everything else, well,
there's a different thing there's It depends on your opinion, right,
like the Hamilton. No one controls who lives, who dies,
who tells your story?

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You do what you do for a living, and whatever
happens is out of you. How you're viewed is out
of your control. Because when you do something creatively, everybody's
gonna have opinions, actors, actresses, politicians, everything, it's opinions. How
do you feel about so and so? But sports and
what Jerry judge, which you should realize after being in
the business for a long time. Sports is about two columns.

(13:31):
There's two columns. It is a win column and there's
a loss column. And when you have more in the
win column, you are successful, you're doing things right, you
are winning. When you have more in the loss column,
you are not succeeding and you are failing.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
It is easy.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I don't need I don't need to be in a
room with every to know the Cowboys stink. Okay, I
don't need to be in a room. There are two
a win column and a lost column. And when you're
losing more games, you are failing. It doesn't matter what
at all about it.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
But you are failing and it's you. But then, that's
what he doesn't get is that sports.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Is it's so easy to break down more as compared
to everything else in life. There, yes, there are nuances
to things that go on in sports, and yes, the
conversations go in different directions and there's different angles, and
we like to bring those to you. But overall, it's
pretty easy to say. Is this team good, is this
team bad? Is this team succeeding, or is this team failing?

(14:23):
Are the Jets succeeding, No, they're failing. Oh are the
brown succeeding, No they're failing. Are the chief succeeding, Yes,
they're succeeding. How about the Cowboys, No they're failing. It's
pretty easy when Colm walls Colm, that's all it is.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
But as we know, right even in the nuance of
that is you can get plenty of folks in the
media to kiss your ass if you're losing by narrow margins.
We're seeing it in college, we're seeing it in the pros.
You went out and got worked on your home field.
You've been awful week after week in Dallas, and the
team that you're supposed to be fighting for the top
of the heap with absolutely embarrassed you on your home

(14:57):
field on your birthday, on your birthday where there's all
sorts of celebrations and interviews and everything else, you go
and absolutely get work to where every offensive lineman they
were gonna try to get them touches into the end
zone when it was all said and done.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
So that's the loss you're coming out of and oh, that.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Derrick Henry guy that you couldn't figure out a way
to sign, even though he was holding up a sign
saying bring me home. Is the top rusher in the
game over It couldn't afford him.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Now, you could have given him. You got money under
the salary, couldn't pay the other two guys. At that point,
I know's he's mad.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Bill.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Look, he's just brought back Zeke. He's frustrated because the
decisions haven't worked. He took it out on these guys,
which was wrong, and I hope he apologizes, but he's
got to understand that. Dude, I don't need to be
in any kind of quarterback meetings to know, Hey, is
Dak playing well, he's not playing well?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is a team playing well and not?

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Now?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I can pretty much tell that. I can pretty much.
It's very black and white in sports, Jerry. Sorry, I
don't need to need to have any kind of degree
and anything to be able to tell you, Yeah, this
team is good, this team is not. That's got That's
what makes sports so good is that okay is no.
There's no trying to color it a different way. You're
pushing what none, No, no. I know when a team
is playing good. I know when a player is playing good.

(16:08):
I know when a player is playing bad. I know
what a team is playing bad. That's how it goes.
You're playing bad. You're the one that took the ownership
of it, and now you're mad about it. That's Jerry Jones.
That's gotta's got to find a way to fix it
and get my show on another channel, going someplace else.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I'm gonna fire you if you don't break maybe can
I go on just Monday nights and talk with Joe
and Troy in the middle of the games are going
to man.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
And cast and doing I'll replace both of you. Managing

(16:50):
of the day in the NFL. One team is now
too big to fail. But there's a catch. What is
it that's next? Jason to Mike Fox.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
You ort to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Oh Yankees win.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. The Yankees now two games to none
in the ALCS. They close out the Guardians tonight, and look,
it was six to three years your final Ramirez with
a home run of the ninth. Not nearly enough. So
now the Yankees go up two games to none, going

(17:35):
back to Cleveland where they're looking for answers. And look,
we talked about this beginning of the show. The Guardians
have to just be sick because watching them throw up
on themselves defensively like they did tonight, letting a couple
of runs score that shouldn't have scored. You had the
wild pitches in Game one that allowed a couple of
runs to score.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
You.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Really, it's watched them throw up on themselves. It's just
really difficult. However, the main reason, mad, look that they're
just not hitting, right, I mean, they're they're just not
hitting you. You can say, oh, well you take those
runs off the board. You're still not winning the game, right,
You could you could take those runs off and and okay,
if you're you're playing clean baseball, don't You're still not
hitting enough to win, right, You're not. You're not hitting

(18:14):
in situations you're getting worked by. I mean, look what
the effort Rod Don had yet. And you're not even
putting the ball in play like that was the big thing,
at least from from game one, which was huge. Right,
you had fourteen strikeouts. Uh, tonight you watch Garrett Cole.
He only went four and a third.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
You did put the ball in play more, only seven
strikeouts for the game.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
But you're not hitting with any authority. You're chasing pitches
out of the zone, and you just look like you're
uncomfortable being there.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Ye, like you're you're.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Getting locked in, like walking talked about and catch me
if you can. You're looking at the pin stripes and
you're getting nervous. It's it's it's really a difficult watch.
But it's also difficult watch if you're the Yankees. But
it's a difficult watch of the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Wait, why they're.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Here's John Sterling? Wow, who you know obviously came out
of retirement to do the Yankee playoff game.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Such a boss move. Run it back run it back.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Uh, you know what, they look like they could be
a team this year. I'm coming back.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
The Yankees had their own base running issue tonight. A
couple of times, Jazz just getting picked off second base,
Anthony Rizzo getting caught in a rundown, and uh, here's
how much Johnston did not appreciate how the Yankees tried
to get ninety feet ninety feet ninety feet ninety feet tonight.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
The O two.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
A bouncer and Rizzo is gonna be picked off. He's
in the middle between second and third. Hedges now throws
to second, on the way to third, back to second,
back to third, tagged.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Out, end of inning.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Boy, if that wasn't the Yankees, that's that's what they do.
Run the bases like drunks.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah, Yankees Radio Network, they run the bases like drunk.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
That's a Harry Bob youucker Major League line. They run
the bases like drunks. I don't think we can say that.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Who cares.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Nobody's listening, Like, run the bases like he's eighty five?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
What does he kidd? Are you gonna he already retired
once he's gonna fire me, fire me, go ahead. And
they still look like they're drunk running the bases. Run
the base, that's like drum.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
It's wow, that's great. I might make that my ring tone.
That's fantastic. He said what we were all thinking. They
run the bases like drunks. I don't care, Susan, don't
correct me. I'm just gonna say what I want to say.
I'm a big fat one. Yeah, I mean, how do
you respond to that? It's like, oh, it was a
difficult rundown. Hey, run the base like drunk, you know,

(20:41):
just uh, just go to commercial.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Boy, if that wasn't the Yankees, that's that's what they do.
Run the bases like drunks.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
No, John, I got nothing. You can go to commercial. Bye,
will be back. Top of the seventh inning, Yankee So
of the five to two lead.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
I think in the other chair, it's a lot like
Steve Stone had be with Shiffern, the new White Sox guy,
where he'd say some things or get part of the
team's history wrong, and you'd have that fourth second of silence, like, oh,
what's Steve gonna say? What's he gonna say? Same thing here,
they're like drunks. Let that breathe, Let that breathe please
get up to the plate so I can announce the

(21:17):
next hitter.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
They only say in broadcasting silence, is okay, let the
story of the game, Let people see it on television.
I'm just gonna let that go and John will be back. However,
this is radio, so there's no pictures to look at.
But still I'm gonna lay out and not say anything,
and you just throw it a commercial. Well, well, you
read a commercial for Model's or the Whiz or whatever,

(21:41):
or PC Richard or whatever whatever commercials local commercials you
run in New York, got it? Just just say those
and we're gonna pretend you never said that. It is
on record that the greatest, some of the greatest Yankees
ever played drunks.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't know David Wells the game drunk allegedly, Well, Mickey,
come on, you have to say allegedly wrote booked and
he was gay.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Allegedly, he allegedly wrote in his book that he was
alleged someone that wrote the book.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Ballpark hammered Allegedly allegedly he liked hot dogs. Allegedly, Yes, well,
I think I think if you go to the I
think if you go to the ballpark and you eat
a lot of hot dogs. You take away whatever it's
gonna help you sober up for the game, not if you'
dunk and beer. No, it's a beer brought. Let's got
a beer, just hot dog there.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Why someone hasn't started doing at the Nathan's I have
no idea.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
But you see that at the ballpark. Don't take you
through the hot dog and use that the hot dog.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Is at because you needed more sodium. That's in that combination.
That's stacking of sodium right there.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
It's like you may as well be eating a salt
lick when when you buy a hot dog in New York,
that's healthy compared the way you eat that. No, no, yes,
I had na chosen the Dodger dog. It was greatt No.
I couldn't carry the helmet around for really fire game
because we had we got to the game two and
a half hours. We had two and a half hours

(23:12):
early to the game. I'm like, I can't carry this
helmet around for you know, six hours. I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, you, I said, here he go, Hey you want
oh yeah sure.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
So he was so happy he left. I was hoping
he wasn't going to take it and put it right
on top of his head.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's wearing no I you know, I cleaned it up
as best as I could. I gave it to.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
That's the Davante Adams trade to the Jets, all right.
I have no doubt, no doubt, no doubt. The Jets
are going to be a terrific team. I have no
doubt Davante Adams is that good. He has played this year. Yes,
he's coming off injury. It's different than had he not played.
He's going to a new team. He's not familiar with.

(23:58):
The quarterback has to learn the playbook. I have no
doubt that by the middle ish of the season, the
Jets are gonna be just thumping people. They're you're putting
all kinds of points on the board. You've seen that Roger.
Maybe it was more of a scheme thing, because Rogers
certainly throwed the ball a little bit more zip last
night against the Bills. But three times down the field,
they can't score in the red zone. They have a
lot of difficulties. They needed something, so they go out

(24:20):
and get Davonte Adams now is one of the top
five receivers in the NFL. With him and Garrett Wilson,
Rogers I have no doubt the Jets are gonna be terrific.
I have no doubt. But here's the catch. They have
to be terrific now, not in week ten or week eleven. Right,
they got they gotta be terrific now. They have to
hit the ground run. That's why when Garrett Wilson tweeted

(24:40):
out to say, let's go, time to go, let's go
do it now. No, he's right, he's got. He's had
his finger on the pulse of the Jets the last
couple of years, and every time he says something, he's
usually right about stuff. They have to go. Now they're
two and four. How many more games can you lose
and still make the playoffs? I know, well, you're only
two games back and things are crazy. No, look at
the end, you gotta figure ten and seven is where

(25:02):
you're at. Right to get in the playoff nine and
eight is very difficult to say, I'm gonna squeeze in
it at nine and eight, But ten and seven. If
you have to get to ten and seven, which is
what every team looks at to get to the playoffs,
you gotta go eight and three the rest of the way. Okay,
that means you got to start winning now, right, You
can't say week ten, week eleven, Hey, we're two and six,
but you know we're three and seven.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Now we're rolling.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
You're gonna win seven of your last eight. You're gonna
do that. That's not gonna happen. Already you are way
behind because you have to go eight and three the
rest of the way. And you have shown that you
have all kinds of problems. Now maybe DeVante Adam solves them,
but you have to go now. This can't be a Hey,
in a couple of weeks, we're gonna be fine. No,
you've already given games away and you already have have

(25:45):
so little room a margin of error to deal with.
You still have other games coming up against really good
teams you still haven't played yet. And again, right now
you have to go eight and three. If you're thinking,
how are we gonna make the playoffs? Forget about division.
You're two games back of Buffalo the tiebreaker right now.
Worry about that later. Just stack wins. So it's gonna happen.

(26:07):
By the time you get to week ten, week eleven,
and Davonte has been in the Jets are really gonna
be good. But wow, man, you gotta find a way
to get back to five hundred. Before you get there,
you gotta find a way to win a couple of
games because if not, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter
where you're at. And it's gonna be boy, look at
this season for the Jets. Look how good they are
now to bad. They stunk so bad early. Had they

(26:27):
just known the offseason, they should have fired Sala. They
should have gone after Deavontae Adams here, They should everything earlier,
not started out two and four. And that's gonna be
the season. It's not I no longer think it's gonna
be one of those boy. Things are gonna be terrible,
and Aaron Rodgers gonna be at odds with everybody. Look,
they're bringing in his best receiver.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
He is.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
He is happier than ever to be there, to be
with the Jets because now he's got he's got Davonte Adams.
So it's not I no longer think it's gonna be
a disaster. But they have to go now like it's
gotta be Sunday against the Steelers with a win, because
if it's not, I'm telling you, when you get to
week week eleven, it's like Okay, great, boy, the Jets
are really great right now. Hey they're four and eight.
They're four and eight. Oh, they're gonna do it. Hey

(27:06):
they're six and nine. Hey they're they they're seven and nine.
They're eight and nine. Oh they're eight. That's kind of that.
That's how the season is gonna go. They they can
do it. And I'm telling you, I DoD they're too
big defail. They're too much talent, and they and they
seem to all be needing to get on the same page.
They want to get on the same Page's not a
lot of dissension. They know they need to. I like
where they are mentally, I liked, I love the move today.

(27:28):
But it's gotta happen now. The go time has to
be now.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
And most things that we say are too big defail, don't.
They usually crash spectacularly.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Absolutely they fail.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
But the Jets are too big defense, too big defense,
to big defense.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Now we've got a three game losing streak all winnable games.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Uh, nine straight years. Did you see that graphic? Yesterday?
Nine straight years with a losing streak of at least
three games. But they're back, Mike, They're back. They're back.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Look, the next five games are all winnable in theory
at Pittsburgh if you can survive the pass rush.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
That's the thing.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
That's the great chess mass matching all of this, How
good are Breise Hall and Braylon Allen going to be
picking up blitzers and free runners because Aaron Rodgers, if
he can get the ball out, yeah, now he's got
an extra body for Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
He may lose a bunch.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Of targets because I Thinklazard is nice and safe. We
did all this on the the the iWatch Flex podcast.
You know you'll be able to find that wherever you
want it. But you know, for your Jets, it makes
it a much more dynamic offense. Maybe Conklin gets a
little more free run if he's not having to stay
back as a blocker. Because look, that was McDermott's big
failure to keep them in the game, especially on that

(28:38):
Hail Mary.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
That was that was deplorable.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
That was was That was awful to say, and he
took a time out before that and then called that defense.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
But I move on.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
We look at you know, Lazard is his security blanket
and has been, and he's going to keep his target
total because he and Rogers have that connect DeVante Adams.
You got to assume that picks up where it left off.
You know, their little step up there.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Ar Wilson is not going to get double coverage anymore.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
So he's to get target in theory, more quality targets.
I'm telling the dude, they're too big, they're too good
to fail. You have too much talent to not be
really really good. But it can't be in a month.
You know it's I say, it's not after breakfast, not tomorrow,
not that. Where's Dufrayne? How did you get out?

Speaker 6 (29:27):
Find out?

Speaker 5 (29:28):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's you gotta go now. Not well in a couple
of weeks. Boy, wait till everybody gets on. No, No,
it's gotta go now because you've given away the first
six weeks.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
You got five games before the bye Pittsburgh, New England, Houston,
Arizona and Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's five losses.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Houston and Indianapolis are the home games mixed therein.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Uh, you have to go now. I like I said,
no doubt, but you gotta go now. Exit out out
of Fresco, exit swelling down the Jason Smithshore with Mike
Harmon live from the tirec dot Com studios. Time how
to find out what's trending in the wide world of forards.
Kevin Wier's got the latest on everything the Jets did
today and the Mets on their off day.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's an All Jets Mets update by Kevin.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
We Well, the Mets didn't lose today, so that's at
least a positive there. Yeah, they did get the win
yesterday on a bullpen game by the Dodgers, but.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
They do have a game tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Dude, are you are you really just poop pooing a
win in the NLCS?

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Really?

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Im't see the one last week's at Jason when your
team gets swept by the Phillies.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
How did that work out for you?

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (30:24):
Swept by the Phillies, gentlemen, speaking on the Dodgers. Tomato, tomato?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Do that workout?

Speaker 5 (30:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 8 (30:29):
Okay, dodterors in five anyway? Okay, the Jets, Yeah, some
good news.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
I know.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
Uh, you've been waiting for this for a while. DeVante
Adams going into New York as the Raiders trading him
in exchange for a twenty twenty five conditional third round
pick that could become a second based on performance, and
he's not the only receiver though getting moved in the NFL,
the Bills getting Amari Cooper from the Browns who are
going to get a third rounder as part of a
pick swap, and Cam Akers going from the Texans to

(30:55):
the Minnesota Vikings and teams swapping late round picks in
the twenty twenty six drafts. For the other baseball team
in New York, the Bronx Bombers. That game has ended.
Game two of the American League Championship Series goes to
New York.

Speaker 7 (31:10):
Judge, it's a high fly to center back Loos Thomas
on the track near the wall. She's gone, Aaron, Judge
hit the ball so high you wondered it came down
in Monument Park. It's a judge and blast ball rise.
Here comes the judge.

Speaker 8 (31:32):
The venerable John Sterling on the Yankees Radio network with
the call Judge going deep again, a two run home
run for New York as they go to Cleveland ahead

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Thank you? Kevin coming up next?

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Sack's waiting on deck, but the game right now is
at the play.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
High fly ball in the right veil. She has gone,
this is what we mean by silence, letting it tell
the story.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Thirty six years ago tonight, Kirk Gibson's home run Vin
Scully didn't talk for a minute. Home run, just gonna
let the pictures say exactly what's going on.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well, they shut his mic off because otherwise would have
started curse, going, what the.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
What a big home run bought you by farmer John Sausages.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Gibson rounds the bases. That's just disrespectful. I'm just I'm
just saying, I mean, it didn't happen that way, not
even here to defend himself.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I'm just let's just played a call thirty six years
ago today, very famous literally jokes on one of the
greatest calls ever.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
It was a great call about the fact that we
came in with Randy Newman before he started just becoming
the Pixar guy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Well, hey, everyone's got to find their niche, you know
later in life. I find my niches when I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
And this will be second to O Tawni's Grand Slam
tomorrow at City Field.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Oh that is that. Let's go see's the house that
Grimace built. That is probably Gibson.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
That's probably the second most famous home run in baseball history.
Probably right, it's probably the second that the shot her
around the world. Gibson, Bobby Thompson, Bobby thoms Bob Gibson
was a pitcher. Uh, he drilled a few guys and
Bobby Thomson shot her around the world and then Kirk
Gibson and funny thing, Bobby Thomson Ready for this. Bobby

(34:07):
Thompson my high school. I am the second most famous
person to graduate from my high school. I went to
high school the most famous person to graduate from my
high school. Bobby Thompson went to Kirk Curtis High School
Stetn in All New York. They called him His nickname
was Staten Island, the Staten Island Scott because he was
born in Scotland and he and he came to the
United States. He we went to Curtis. He's like, okay, well,

(34:28):
Rizza went to Curtis too, went to Curtis to I
forgot the impractical Jokers. Yeah, but no, but I'm more famous.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's okay. Are you sure knows who they are? It
all comes together. Tell me the name of one person
from them practical jokers. You just made that name up.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
You just know he's about uh.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Now, you just sells the most. Now you're just throwing
names out there. Gott Island name ever sell? What about Ricky?
Who calls their kids sells? What about Donnie? You how
many Souths? I went to school with a lot of it.
I could I could name four south off the top of.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
My head that I went to on the show. No, no, no, no,
it's uh you mean like Murray, his name is just murr. Okay,
he can't look it up and just say that.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
You can't do it.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
See, I mean you also brought up the home run
that was associated with sign stealing, and then the even
more famous is the called shot that may or may
not have happened.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah, well, Zax, so how could that be famous?

Speaker 1 (35:22):
If people are sure because we discuss it, I'll tell
you it's it's Bobby thoms shot around the world.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
And Kirk Gibbs biggest home that was a big home run,
big home run statue, big home run celebrated every time
I big home.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
We should text him. I would say that you ready
for this speaking about METSA it is that day to
text him. By I will tell you this, Uh, probably
the three most famous plays in baseball history. Bobby Thompson,
Kirk Gibson, and the Buckner play. Three most famous plays
in baseball on the call A slow roller down the

(35:58):
first base line behind here comes night in the Mets win,
three biggest plays in baseball history. Those two home runs
in the Buckner plays.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
You know, Upper Deck eventually had a great trading card
of Buckner playing first base where he was positioned and
behind him.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Was the tarp roll. So you have the giant you know,
twube between his legs. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Now, we're gonna have John Paul Morosi coming up next
hour on the show joining us from the Alcs, will
break down the Yankees win over the Guardians. Is this
two games to none lead insurmountable, But ahead of Game
three of the NLCS tomorrow between the Mets and the Dodgers,
it is an absolute as good as things look for
the Mets, because what the Dodgers have got thinking about

(36:45):
a lot about this today is like, look, yeah, the
Dodgers talk about their bullpen, and Dave Roberts mismanaged things
yesterday a little bit.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
But the Dodgers' bullpen is their big weapon.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
They got to deploy the bullpen the right It's all
I saw today. They got to deploy the bullpen the
right way. And all I can think of is that
just plays into the Met hands. He just asked the
Braves and the Brewers and the Phillies, who all had
lights out bullpens, how did those series go against the Mets.
The Mets get into your bullpen doesn't matter, right, you
could have a great bullpen, doesn't matter. The Phillies throughout
all Stars, didn't matter. Their era was eleven bullpen game. Yesterday,

(37:16):
the Mets score six runs and they win seven to three.
So that plays into the Mets hands completely. You think
your bullpen's a strength, Yeah, I have no problem with
the Mets, what they're going to do to your bullpen. However,
it makes tomorrow the biggest must win game because the
Mets need to win tomorrow where Walker Bueller is not
the same guy. He's not who he was a few
years ago. He has pitched horribly. He is only starting

(37:37):
because there literally is nobody else, and the Mets need
to win tomorrow because then you're looking at the next
two games being Yamamoto, who has pitched well, and Jack
Flaherty coming off the game of his life, so the
Mets don't want to see him again. So tomorrow is
the as much as I love what's going on right now,
because hey, wait, passed Jack Flaherty the Dodgs. You can
see the warts they have. Tomorrow's the biggest must win

(37:58):
game because being down two to one with Yamamoto and
Flaherty coming up best case snaro, the Mets win one
of those two games, and so the Dodgers are going
back to LA up three to two, and that's gonna
be the series they need. Tomorrow is the biggest must
win game. The Mets have to have the game Tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Night, guy that once upon a time was the chosen one,
Walker Buehler gets gets the run. We've seen him go
past the fifth inning once in his last five starts.
First inning goes back to like Jack McDowell, you know,
if I want to go back and wait in the
wayback machine. If he got out of the first inning,
you're like, all right, we're gonna be okay. That's the

(38:34):
story of the taal with the tape for Walker Bueller tomorrow.
Does he get jumped on early?

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Right? Is does he have command? Does is their zip
on the fastball?

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Right? All of that stuff, and we could relegislate everything
about Game two, Right, you didn't have your high leverage
bullpen guys, should you have pitched Bueller there?

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Up won nothing?

Speaker 4 (38:57):
All of those things you do a bullpen game, at
least one was happening in this series. So now it's
just a question of can you get him to give
you five strong innings because your best relievers have been waiting,
so the opportunity there, So Mets, Yeah, a lot of
pressure on you guys to jump all over him tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Ye gotta have tomorrow's game. I mean, if the Mets
don't get tomorrow's game, it's gonna be it's gonna be
really really difficult to win that series.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
It's to be really tough. Good luck.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I mean, I I can't see that they're gonna beat
Yamamoto and Flaherty. I mean, come on, and already then
you're sending it back to La and Dodgers have to
let it's gonna that would be too big of attempt.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
It's just a curiosity that he's now scared of. Yamamoto
was like, no.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
No, no, but to beat both of them, I'm saying,
to beat Yamamo. Okay, it's I mean, Flarerty's coming off
the game, so you think, all right, Flarerty's gonna get
a bounce. But I don't want to face another picture
when he's red hot. I want to face the guy
when he can't throw strikes.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
That's what I want. I mean, so that tomorrow is
it's the biggest must win game.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
I mean, it's a lot simpler than what you guys
just said. By the way, why is that It's as
if if Grimmas throws out the first pitch or.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Not, Grimason is in haktua. No, Grimace is gonna play
right field, and Hawk two is gonna play second. Iglesias
has been slumping, so the Hawk two was gonna play
the ever got Greg Jeffries to throw out a first whoever, whoever,
whoever you need to coming up next, we get back
into a huge story out of the NFL.
