Speaker 2 (00:21):
This is the best of the Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm sorry by command to the show for at while.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I gotta call my dad and make sure he's okay,
because I don't know about what's going on with him
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Watching that Yankee game, well that is going on quickly.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
The best you can hope for is I mean, the
reboot hasn't come out yet with Jamie Lee Curtis, but
maybe it's just some old Angela Landsman murder, she wrote,
instead of watching the Marlins and Yankees here on a
Friday night.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
For over forty years, Tyrerack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive. Ship Fast
and Free backed by free Road, has protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tyrac dot com is
the way tire buying should be. Well, yeah, look, I say, everybody,
uh back at back playing day three games last night
in baseball, all the new lot of new players are there,
(01:18):
Bell's Bells is already playing at City Field, the Mets
already losing in the tenth inning, but the Yankees, who
had a nine to four lead over the Marlins, now
find themselves trailing the Marlins ten to nine. After the
Marlins put up six runs in the bottom of the
seventh Stours hits a Grand Slam. So all of a sudden,
(01:38):
all the good feeling, like that's why trades last, the
good feeling of trades last one day.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
All right, great, I'm excited, ready for the second half.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Then you go out you lay an egg in that
next game. It's like, ah, why do we make all
these moves war? We just stink? Why do we do this?
We're back to where we were before. Yeah, but you
still have like eighty games.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I don't care. Now it doesn't matter. We stink.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Look at this, We all this excitement after what we did,
yet's saying the trade deadline and now we can't even
win our next game. All these other teams have quit. Yeah,
forget it. When's football starting?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, I mean you at least take some solace in
the fact that gian Carlos Stanton's back in the lineup. Sure,
and need another home run today, I mean, I know
that's right. Hey, look, I'm trying, buddy, You try trying
to be positive on it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Needs you to be Nobody needs you to try for
the Yankees to be positive. No, there's other there's other
great moments of positivity we're gonna have tonight on the show.
Nobody needs that that, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And Stour's a guy, you know, he's one of those
guys that you pull as a rookie card autographing, like, hey,
guy's twenty seven, Yeah, twenty seven. Now he's running four
home runs now, sure, So I mean he's having himself
one hell of a year. And look, hate watching the
Yankees is definitely a very doable thing. It's got like
when people get mad about the Dodgers beat the Rays
(02:50):
five nothing today, Clayton Kershaw getting it done and and
but everybody wants to see them vanquished. So yesterday was
a lot of celebration. They did what for the trade deadline?
They were wishing and hoping. Meanwhile, the Cubs are asleep
over there but wishing and hoping. Ha. And then they
go and win because again Clayton Kershaw pitching, like you know,
he's turned back the clock another seven years. So all
(03:12):
of that to say, you know, with second half begins
even though there's only what fifty five games are so
left for all these teams.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, that's good. It's a good way to be positive there. Okay,
I like that. I like that. That's good.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I like that well a little bit. Right, take the good,
you take the bad. Andrew Vaughns a superstar after leaving
the White Sox. So I mean all of that plays
together into what is a beautiful weekend because it's also
now officially football season. Yeah, and it talked about yesterday,
So that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's here, and boy do we have a huge NFL
story that has been evolving over the course of the day.
The best defensive player in the NFL says he no
longer wants to be a Dallas Cowboy. Micah Parsons, in
a situation that has been percolating for the past few
month month, wants a contract extension and no longer is
(04:03):
this a tenable situation. He puts out a message on
social media that yes, I wanted to be here. I
did everything I could to show that I wanted to
be a cowboy and wear the star on my helmet.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Unfortunately I no longer want to be here right now.
There's a lot of he said.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
He said with this because you want to go back
and over the course of this story that has been
evolving over the course of the past few months, look,
Parsons wanted to stay. The Cowboys said they wanted to
sign him. Apparently, a few months ago, Parsons negotiated what
the Cowboys thought was his new contract without his agent present, which, okay,
you never do that, So that's on Mikah Parsons. But
(04:41):
since that happened, there has not been any conversation because
after Parsons talked to the Cowboys, the Cowboys thought we
had a done deal, parsons agent called to say no,
there's still some negotiating left to be done, and the
Cowboys said, no, we have a deal. Since then, relationships
have deteriorated. Jerry Jones has talked about the need for
Parsons to stay healthy and you'd never see Jerry Jones
(05:03):
take shots at anybody that he wants to sign to.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
A long term deal.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And things have been boiling over some of its negotiation,
some of it's the art of the deal. But now
you get to a point no matter what side you
take on this, no matter you believe, Michah Parsons said, listen,
we've been above board with the Cowboys the whole time,
and the Cowboys are being bad or the Cowboys are saying, hey, listen,
we had a deal and now suddenly everything changed. He
wanted more money because since we negotiated what we thought
(05:28):
was a deal, other star defensive players got a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We watched three new players signed contracts, including TJ. Watt
getting over thirty million dollars a year. So maybe this
is part of Hey, cowboys thought they had a deal,
but now maybe Michah Parsons wants to reneg on that.
There's a lot of he said, he said, we're going
to get into right. There's a lot of back and forth.
But the bottom line is this right, looking at this,
is this a negotiation?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Is this something that can be saved?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Because you had Micah Parsons say on social media, I
know law longer want to be here. That is the
bridge that you need to burn if you are a
star and you want out. We talk about it with
the NFL, with the NBA players all the time, right
Kevin Durant, Lebron James, all these other players can say, yeah,
my agent is potentially looking at fits sources. But if
(06:16):
you're a star and you want to get dealt you
have to burn that bridge, because that's what we see
in the NBA. That's what we're seeing now. Michah Parson's saying, quote,
I no longer want to be here. You don't come
back from that to say I no longer want to
be held to closed door negotiations without my agent present.
I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured.
We'll laying it on the line for the organization. Are
(06:37):
fans of my teammates, This is I want out. I
no longer want to be here. Whoever side you're on
with this, this is untenable and Micah Parsons should stick
to this. Instead, somebody's gonna pay you. Don't worry about it.
You want to get paid like those guys I get.
You're the best defensive player in the NFL. You're the
guy I would pay more than anybody because of your
talent and your age.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right, some of these guys getting big money. Look, TJ.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Watt deserved that money four years ago. Doesn't deserve that
money now. But the Steelers, you know, Hey, we like
to reward guys like this. Somebody else will pay you.
Stick to it. You will get it. It's in the
best interest of both both sides. Now if you move on.
This has not been a sweetheart negotiation where it's business
behind closed doors, but in public, Hey, Jerry Jones is
saying nice things about you like he always did about
(07:19):
Dak Prescott or CD Lamb or Ezekiel Elliott. This has
been I worry about. You know, we paid a guy
last year that got hurt. You gotta be on the field.
And Michael Parson's got hurt last year. Gotta be on
the field. WHOA what happened to Jerry Jones? I always
like to take care of my stars. This is untenable
from both sides. This is not something that can be solved.
Micah Parsons should go to a new team. He will
(07:41):
go to a new team. And for the Cowboys, hey,
it's better for that. You have a lot of holes
to fill in other parts of your team. You clearly
haven't been great with him in his prime, So are
you gonna be better with him in the back half
of his prime? Probably not for both sides. It is
time to move on. Parsons needs to be someplace else.
Cowboys need to move on, Parsons saying he had crossed
the rubicon with I no longer want to be here.
(08:03):
That's the biggest thing. He needs to go.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
He needs to get out, and this needs to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You know, my favorite thing to surface because I mean,
there's so many layers to this. It's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Micah Parsons on podcasts in the past taking shots of
teammates and team makeup and everything. And one that came
back when Nico IAmA Maliava was talking about renegotiating deals
and holding out a spring practice quote. I mean this
goes to college football, but the start was college football
(08:35):
a joke. Now you all mind's well, college into a
semi pro league. Actually hoole players accountable to the contracts
they sign. I'm Micah, there's one more year. It's one
more year on your deal. Oh you know what else?
If you really want to play this, They've got a
couple of years of franchise tags. If you just want
to sit around and really make it. I want to
(08:55):
know how you got to the conversation. I know Jerry
likes the sidle up and have the conversation with the
player thing. But all those months ago, why is this
becoming an issue? Oh, I don't want to he doesn't
want to talk to my agent. Now. If this was
a deal, I mean, Micah hasn't been shy. We would
have heard about this a long time ago. So evidently
you thought it was okay too back whenever the in
(09:18):
principle agreement was agreed to, right, and obviously the market changes,
and I think you know how you get pasted it all.
What's Miles Garrett getting per year at a dollar? And
then he'll feel loved and here's a cake and everybody
celebrates and you move on. But in the interim, Yeah,
it's great theater. It's great theater. There's still this we're
(09:40):
still in the second act.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, well look, but that's why I said it. It
doesn't matter who's look because there's blame that we can
break that. Like I said, you never negotiate a contract
without your agent present. Whatever situation is, Michah Parsons has
to be smart enough to know, Hey, whether I'm walking
in there of my own volition because I want to
get something done, or the Cowboys decide to call him
saying let's get him in front of us, he would'll
agree to. You have to know if you're Micah Parsons. Yeah,
(10:04):
we could talk about anything you want to, but my
agent does the money right, Like I learned that a
long time ago. We can tie whatever conversation you want
to have about my role, what I'm doing on the field,
on everything else. But my agent does the money right.
That's why you have an agent. So, yeah, is that
his fault?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But could that be the Cowboys trying to do something. Yeah,
I'll be the first one to tell you. I don't know.
But but all of that is irrelevant because he said
I no longer want to be here. This is what
stars do, James Harden. That's how we got out. That's
how he gets out of every place, saying this place sucks.
I don't want to be here anymore. This, oh plays
(10:41):
is off. Okay, that's how you get out. What you say,
this situation is untenable. I cannot be here anymore. That's
what gets stars traded, right. This is why Lebron is
still a Laker because he hasn't come out and said
I'm done, and he's getting close to that point with
Now we'll get to that part later on in the
show with all this Clippers stuff. But like this is
what you if you out, you have to say I
want out. If Jannis wants to get traded from the Bucks,
(11:03):
he's gotta say I want out. It doesn't work here anymore.
That's how it goes, and they will find a way
to trade you. That's that's the whole big deal with
the Knicks and their coaches that they kept calling these
teams for permission. The teams kept saying no if they
If the guy wanted to coach the Knicks, all he
had to do is say I want to talk to
the Knicks. Well, now we gotta let you go because
you can't come back to this team.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You have to be the one to stand up sometimes
be the bad guy and say this is no longer tenable.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I want out.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Crazy thing is for the Cowboys, it's no longer to
the point where all the fans are gonna say, well,
screw you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We don't want you anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's gonna be Look what Jerry Jones is doing now.
He's pushing bike and partisons out. So he's gonna win
the he's gonna win the battle of getting the trade,
and he's gonna win the battle in the media because
everybody blames the Cowboys and Jerry Jones for everything. But
that's what people don't don't see with this. You worry
too much about a signing, blame and who goes where.
And it's a great conversation, but it comes down to it,
I no longer want to be here.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That means trade, and both sides are moving on for
a fresh start. He'll get paid, the Cowboys will have
money to go spend in other bad places, ringing other players.
The probably shouldn't buy but anyway, but it will work
and both sides need to move on. And this is
that moment he drew that line in the sand and
he said that's it is.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
He gonna lay down and kick his feet and hold
his breath and say.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm leaving home.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
You don't love me anymore, I'm going away. And you
pack a couple of toys in your backpack and you start.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Are upset at it. You're upset at him, aren't you.
Why are you so upset? Stand? Why are you so mad?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You wanted to be full of positivity on a Friday? Oh,
here he is in the sand and he's playing with
some kind of sand castles.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No, he didn't build any sand castle. Whatever it is,
nicely done. Let's quote lay miss all night. I'll start
quoting some of the Jesus Christ Superstar lines for their
performance out here in la and.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Just go for John Faulshahn is not a bad idea,
TJ all right, good.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Not bad?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Young?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He did he did his work. How many years was
he in the in the brig?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean like it was a long time. It wasn't
a long time that he was there a long time?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Like like, look, it's just the next escalation of things again.
I want to know why his agent hasn't been part
of this the whole time. Like that's the thing that
doesn't make any sense to me in this timeline. And
where all right, Micah, go do this about how about
the agent now speaks up? What's it?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Muleta?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Uh, he's a a big deal in athletes first, right,
there's a there's a big time guy he's been sitting
on the sidelines this whole time. How's he been Yeah, look,
because it's it's ridiculous. So like like everybody screwed this
five year old tantrum that and that mic is I
don't want to be here anymore. And I get it.
He put a lot of thought into that ig post
(13:44):
or wherever the hell that originally appeared, and good for him.
You had to scroll and you got extra clicks for
it and whatever. Maybe he maybe why do.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You say it's a tantrum?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean, this is something that that both sides that
they've been working on for months and it just hasn't happened.
So I mean, like, okay, not, it's not something where
he walked in today and they said, oh sorry, yeah,
we're not doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I'm going on social media right now.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
This has been Hey, every They've been trying to do
this for the last few months, and I said, both
sides have to get I have to take blame on this.
I mean, I can't sit here and say that it's
all parts AND's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's all his fault.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He's got But this is how it works. This is
how players get traded. But this is how play in
all sports. This is how players get traded. Nobody trades
their stars unless unless they know they have to. And
this is the only way to know you have to
is if a guy says, I absolutely want out, I
want out, I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's how it happens everywhere now because to try to
get it's it's very difficult to get stars. It's really
really difficult. So teams have decided to take the strategy
of all right, well, okay, until you tell me you
want out. Guess what you're you're gonna be here. Okay, well,
y'all tell me you want out. Now, we gotta do something.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, I'm curious to see what the next is from
Jerry on this one, as to what the next public
statements are from him, or whether he does a dramatic
reading of these poor wherever it goes through. But again,
I unless I missed it in my drive to the
studio again, were the agent he's been sidelined? I mean, look,
(15:23):
he Micah makes it sound like they locked him in
a room and wouldn't let him talk to Now, you
already used your one phone call, you get nothing else
that that's the way he's describing this.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Am I wrong, Like, isn't that.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Really what he's sayings like or it sounds like they
cut they cut my cell reception while I was in
that room with these guys talking about terms.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Now is it now? Is it that? Or is it hey?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
After this happened, we kept trying to contact them and
they didn't get back with us. Like we kept trying.
My agent kept trying to call the Cowboys, kept.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Saying, but we're not gonna say that.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Don't make it sound like he tried to engage, and
the Cowboys kept saying nothing. Wouldn't call anybody back, They
wouldn't talk to my agent, They wouldn't engage in they
thought we had a deal, and we're not gonna talk
about a deal because we thought we had one, Like,
I mean, this is I mean, look, it's a lot
of he said they said. But but in the end,
all that doesn't matter. They have passed the point of
no return. Now the best player in the NFL needs
(16:19):
to be traded. He wants to be traded. He has
thrown that line in the sand. I don't know how
you come back from this, How do you come back
from I don't want to be here anymore too. Oh hey,
I was just really yeah, you know that was the
thing that was Friday. So but now I feel much
better today because now all guaranteed money I'm getting, Like
I mean, this is.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You've had a lot of time on ills, man.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
But you had a lot. Well the thing is you'll
get who's not gonna pay mi Coah Parsons. I mean,
who's not gonna pay any thirty thirty one other teams
in the NFL will pay my Camparsons? Right the Cowboys
the only one saying, hey, we have the best defensive
player of the NFL. We're fighting a way to not
pay him and lose him for nothing. But like this,
this now has to happen. He's gonna he'll get paid
someplace else. Now is he gonna be as happy as
(16:59):
he is being a cowboy, because he really enjoyed being
a cowboy, Like maybe it's a little bit more to
get used to, but clearly he wants the bag. He's
not gonna get it here. He has said that I
no longer want to be here. So guess what, that's
what's gotta happen. Man, We got we gotta see a deal,
and that everybody should be lining up. Hey, you don't
have to give It's not gonna be a thing where
(17:19):
you have to spend so much draft pick wise because
you got to sign him.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
To a new contract.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So yeah, everybody load up, man, Michaeh Parson's first round pick,
whatever it could be, with the stipulation you're gonna sign
him to a long term deal.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Guess what, man, I mean, Michael Parsons in a new
uniform is happening.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well, let's see, I'm trying to think of what was
the comp It was Khalil Mack right when he went
from Oakland to Chicago. Was to first, a third, a sixth,
let's see, a second, and a conditional fifth. There's a lot. Yeah,
so you know, hey, someone wants to come to the
(17:56):
table for all of that. Otherwise, Jerry seems like the
guy he'll he'll just he'll do this thing of kicking
his feet outside and hold his breath. Oh, he'll do
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We'll have more on this coming up next, because I
don't think there's any way Jerry Jones can go through
a season where Micah Parsons is the story every day?
Is he coming in? Is there anything? Are you trading
him like, I don't think he's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
That, but it lets him suit up and get in
front of the microphone again. It's all his fault. We're
four nine, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
All he was here. He was here very better May
last year. He was hurt.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Now he's sitting out.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look what he did exit out about a Fresca exit

I'll put my money where on my mouth is tonight.
You know you talked about positivity last hour. My p
(20:49):
and I criticized you for not being positive about the
Micah Parson story because you wanted to say that he was,
you know, he said throwing a tantrum and sand toys.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
And everything else.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'll put my money where my mouth is because you
know what pains me to say this. It doesn't really
what I'm pretending is that. Listen, if you want to
do a good deed tonight, right, if you want to say,
what can I do tonight here? How can I pay
it forward? How can I get some good karma in
my life? It is eleven o'clock on the East Coast,
right eight o'clock or West coast where Mike and I are.
(21:18):
If you have a friend who's a Yankee fan, call
him and check in on him, because they're not doing
great right now. No, jar, they are not doing great
after what happened tonight. Who man, I'll tell you. And
I thought I had a bad night with the Mets
losing to the Giants four to three and Ronnie Marisio
striking out with the bases load in the bottom of
(21:39):
the tenth thitting No, no, no, hey, I got nothing
out yet, bad, But I got nothing on the Yankees tonight.
This is what just happened. The Yankees and the Marlins
a game. The Yankees were up nine to four in
the seventh inning. Okay, Marlins, are you know? Look they're
not terrible, They're a five hundred ish team. But hey,
(22:00):
here are the Yankees that made their big moves the
deadline all times of excitement. Yeah, things are great, right, yeah, wonderful.
They're up nine to four. Everything is good. The Marlin
score six in the bottom of the seventh to take
the lead ten to nine. Right, Oh, my goodness, the
sky is falling for the Yankees. But hey, not so fast,
(22:22):
My friend in the words of Lee Corso. Right, Volpi,
it's a home run to tie the game at ten.
Right McMahon, who they traded.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
For a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'll tell you what, nicmahon, you can McMahon gets a
hit to bring in a run. Volpi doubles to bring
in another run. So suddenly, hey, Volpi, McMahon, look at
these guys we were in twelve ten, going to the
bottom of the ninth inning. Everything is wonderful, right hey,
and here comes our brand new closer. Right here comes
Camillo Deval We know, I know, we said that Devin
(22:51):
Williams was our closer, but really we were just lying.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So yeah, here comes de vall fresh. We got him.
We're ready to go awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, he gets into a little bit of trouble and
a big error ties the game at twelve. So all
of a sudden, the Yankees go from a twelve to
ten lead. Here just got to close out the bottom
of the ninth inning. Now the game is tied to twelve.
And then here's how the Marlins walked it off to one.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Framirez a little tripling right in front of the play.
Tenserweld picks it up cut in it scarcer.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
There's the craziest game of the year. It's a swimming
funs from the former Yankee prospects Augustin Raviz up sweet
even as comes in from third.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This game is over and this team.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Is electric, not just two games under five hundred. Hey,
you know the Marlins are electric. Look this fot This
is one of those plays that.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It's hard to sit back and believe in karma and
fate when you think sometimes it's just not your years.
But this is one of those plays that tells you
about that, right, because this is something where it is
just a little dribbler in front of the plate, right Ramirez,
you heard former Yankee farm man Ramirez hits one, and
yes it's a swinging butt, but there's so much English
(24:21):
on the ball, right, Like he bounces, and it just
bounces a little bit to the right, like down the
fra It doesn't go straight back out towards towards the
pitcher's mound. It kind of dies off his bat and
kind of dovetails a little bit to the right, and
you can't get to the ball in time. There was
(24:41):
no way. There was nothing that Wells could do. He
had to go the ball to even make it off
the dirt in front of home play. He didn't make
it onto the grass by the time he goes out
there to get it, and an incredible speed with Edwards
scampering home from third well ahead of the tag like
this is one of those plays where you go, this
shouldn't happen. It's a perfectly placed, dropped, swinging bunt in
(25:03):
front of the plate and you have the wherewithal and
the speed at third base to score. This is one
of those times where I just walk in. If I'm
the Yankees, if I'm Aaron Boone, I I just throw
my hands and go. Sometimes man, it's just not your year.
Sometimes it's just not your time. And it's hard to
think that because it's one hundred and sixty two games
(25:23):
or momentum changes every day, but certain losses during the
year in Major League Baseball is when you sit back
and go, you know, what are we doing this for?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Like you have times in your life you come home
from work and go, what am I doing this for?
What am I doing? What should I be doing? Something
different with my life? Here?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Personally you come home and go, what am I doing?
Am I really is this relationship going forward?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
What am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And then sometimes you shake yourself out of it and
you Okay, they just had a bad couple of minutes there.
But sometimes you sit back and you think about it
for a while. I gotta think about what I'm doing
with my job or this relationship or whatever it is.
This is where you're a Yankee fan, you're one of
the Yankees. You gotta sit back and go, man, is
this really gonna happen for us this year?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Because boy, I'll tell you, man, I don't I don't
know what to say about this. We blow a five
run seventh inning lead against the Marlins. We take a
three run lead. Uh, we take a two run lead
in the bottom of the ninth and our new closer,
our new electric back of the bullpen guy, comes in,
and we lose because we make an error in right
field and then it's a it's the most perfectly placed
(26:22):
Q shot in front of the plate that we lose to. Like, really,
this is if I'm the Yankees, I really start wondering,
you know, the like you like to say, Mike, the
meaning of life and what we're getting here, if it's
gonna work for us?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
This is one of those games for the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I'm having that as I'm sitting here in the studio
looking to my left and there's an empty chair. But
it's just the idea that you you're right back where
you were last year, because now you're having flashbacks to
everything that plagued you and took you out of a
World Series game and ultimately out of a series win.
(26:56):
You know you didn't and you just stated and had
that arnade all off season. Now you get into the
second half of the year, you're excited. Here's the guys
coming back. Like I said, Stanton is back in your
lineup and he's starting to hit. He's like, all right, great,
you're gonna wait on Judge. All this wishing, wanting, hoping,
and then all the things that came back, including the
(27:18):
aforementioned Judge error that you know, you're all picturing it
right now as I say it. And if you hate
the Yankees, you might be grinning, you might be laughing.
Maybe you took a sip of your drink and just
about yeah, Yankees. So now it's the back of the
fish rap that's gonna talk once again about how Fielding
did them in I mean, really fundamentals and Aaron Boone
(27:41):
losing his mind. Yeah, I mean you're lucky because now
you're just relegated to either the top or bottom, where
it'll be a glib one liner. Yankees are going front
and center on this one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean really, it seems right by the fish. It
seems like there are forces working against us.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I mean that may be the games. Maybe you used up.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh your good will? Oh man, they use it up?
And when did uh when did the bill come do?
A fifth inning of Game five of the World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That's when the bill came due for the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Absolute insanity. Like I've now seeing this play in right
field about seven times in a row. I know it
looks worse every time.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, i'd be really.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I mean the other is just a you know, an
unlucky you know number. Uh the play and right field like, oh,
he's gonna come up gunning. No he's not. He forgot something.
But I tell you what his form otherwise was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh this new look Yankee bullpen. Now right, here's a
new super Yankee bullpen. What what are their numbers to night? Look,
I got them for you, uh two and things pitched,
nine runs allowed.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
There's your there's your Yankee bullpeny.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
There you have it.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So I texted, I texted my dad right because I like,
I said, put my money were my mouth is right
after this.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I mean, this is just an absolutely awful, awful game. No, no, no,
I checked. I wanted to check in on him. I
put my money were mouth. It's like, okay, let let's see.
So I checked in and I said, hey, are you
okay after that?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And he said, yeah, I'm just gonna catch up on
my sleep from that fiasco on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now he's going back to Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
He's still catching up for the Yankies for two days.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Wow, hello darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And so I checked in on Fabiano, right, you know,
the other big Yankee fan I know, And he said,
and he texted me back, what a joke.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I hate cash Man.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I was at the game and I forgot because he
lives in Florida. He's he's going to all the games
this week. Maybe he's not gonna go after this game tonight,
but he's going to all the games this week.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, he may not show up tomorrow. You might You
might have a ticket available if you're looking to go
to a game.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, I mean check in with your fellow friend Yankee
fan friends, because it is not good right now. Man,
Look it's it's very rare. Because again I get it, right,
I look at baseball my entire life. This is why
I would be a terrible manager in baseball, but a
great GM, because I would sit here and say, we
have to change everything. We've lost three in a row.
We gotta change it all, right, I'd be a horrible manager.
(30:29):
But sometimes there are losses that you know, you get
at the end of the year. So they do this
in Chicago, I know they do this in New York
a lot. They do it here in LA where they say, okay,
here are the five losses that doomed so and so season,
or here's the five wins that made the season right
because of how big they were and the after effects
(30:51):
of them. And usually, you know, because the Mets, when
they do it, it's usually the five losses that doom
the season. And and I go, okay, I remember that game,
remember that game, like if the Yankey season like has
been just free falling for the last five weeks, Like
you look back at this game and you say, this
might be that moment that sets them on a long
losing streak or just things just start even more fall
(31:13):
apart for them, because this is this is the excitement
of the trade deadline and starting over and here and
here's our new bullpen. Right, It's not just we lost,
it's all the new guys we got we want to
unwrap and unveil, and we lose because of them. Like
it's it's so maddening. Not all loss in baseball are
created equal. Most of them are most number one of
one hundred and sixty two. There's a handful of year
(31:35):
that are more on both sides. Right, Some wins are
bigger than just one out of one sixty two. I
would say there's four or five in a year and
and and four or five losses. But for the Yankees, boy,
I don't know if there's a bigger one than this.
I mean, this game, this game is was an electric game.
It's it's gonna it's all of a sudden, it's exploding
on social media like this Yankee loss. Like I would
(31:56):
not be surprised if we look back and say, yeah,
that's a loss that.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Kill the Yankees. That's the one that killed the Yankee
season right there.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, curious to watch how they respond tomorrow, right, I mean,
this is one of them that may have lingering effects
because you did have to go to the pen a
few times. Rodan only got into the fifth before he
was chased nine strikeouts. That's all fine and good, but
chased out of this one. And then you have to
go and bring out all your shiny new toys off
the trade deadline, and it went for not so settle
(32:26):
up for another one and again the Marlin. I love
that call. I mean that's just fan. This team is electric.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, two games within two games and
five hundred. It's kind of another gale. I mean, come
oh yeah yeah yeah. And it's you know tape that
you want cut. It's like put that in my promo. Yeah,
(32:46):
and you know, look, I mean, and I don't know
what is gonna be. What's more of a oh my goodness,
I can't believe it. If it's gonna be the the
number in front of home plate or Cabiero again, who's
a big trade deadline acquisition who just completely biffs the
base hit and the ball rolls all the way to
the wall, which brings everybody around a score.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
And that's how the Yankees give up the lead like
this is this is a complete and total failure from
just I mean, all of their new acqua oh gods
they were bringing.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
I would say this, then the fielding play is a
bigger deal because that's I mean, that's correctable, that is actionable.
That is I'm a big league outfielder. The other one
is just bad luck, like that's the uh sage brush,
that's the my god, the baseball gods hate us kind
of moment. The other is just a mental and physical
(33:42):
convergence of just another screw up, which again is just
flashbacks of what cost you the World Series a year ago.
So that's gonna stick, I think a lot more. The
other is just what the hell right. It's like when
the guy hits the little little squib out in front
of the the first or third base line that the
(34:02):
fielder watches like, oh, it's gonna roll out and no,
and then it just dies because there's a little bit
of extra dirt that had been kicked there or whatever
the case is. Like, this is just bad luck. So
that one you can get past the other. No, not
not even close.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I mean this is I mean, really the first one
is how I can't believe we blew this in the
let and the second one is Okay, it's just not
it's just not our it's not our year.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's just it's just not I don't.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Know what we've been celebrating though, all these you know,
cannon for arms, guys in the outfield, going back to
the n Acuona throw and some of the other he
didn't even field it. He didn't even get a chance
to throw or throw a lollipop or throw a terribly
upward back you know, up the line or behind the
catcher or whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Like, we didn't even get a throw.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I mean, that's that's one of those I'd like that
on a baseball card. I want that on a sports flick.
Oh look at we got a fielding play. It's like, no, no, no,
it's because he didn't feel the ball.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Oh man, it really it is a This is an
absolute stunner and it's gonna be the big highlight you
see for the next twenty four hours again, blowing the lead,
and there's so many that to me, there's so much
drama with this game. There's the big lead that you're
feeling great, you're up, you know, you're up six nothing, Okay,
then it's nine to four. You're feeling great, right, the
(35:21):
trade deadline happened, you have new acquisitions, you're feeling really good. Okay,
you blow the lead, all right, but then you retake
the lead and you're feeling, hey, this is what good
teams do. That's what great team's doing. And a couple
of guys that you were hoping come through for you,
write Volpi, you has been oh, Vopy's not Jeter, I
don't understand all. Wicky comes to with a home run
in a double McMahon gets a big hit and scores
and scores the right. Okay, the guy we brought in awesome, awesome, awesome.
(35:44):
And then you have the ninth inning where Cabiero makes
the error and then the number in front home plate
and it's all the guys you got at the deadline
blew it for you, Like, how do you come back
from that again? How do you come back from that?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yeah, it's funny how that works, that, that convergence of events.
There's no question about that. I guess you uh just say, well,
we still have fifty plus games, and you try not
to look at what the Blue Jays and other teams
that you're you're fighting with are doing? I mean, I
don't know. It's it's one one of one sixty two
(36:19):
in in theory. In practice, this one's hard, right, because
you had multiple opportunities to finish the job and start
the second half off right your point. A couple of
your acquisitions had big moments and big all right, welcome
to New York. You're you're now part of the squad.
And then you know, isn't there a song I play?
(36:41):
Right field? Got hidden as a kid because everybody was
a poll hitter.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike car and who
wanted to bring you that big breaking end of the
game between the Yankees and the Marvel It's just as sanity.
And man, I'll tell you, my dad, I got I
gotta bring my dad coffee tomorrow. I think that's'm gonna do.
I'm gonna help you my dad.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Here, I'll bring you coffee.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
He goes, what'd you putting it in error in right field? No, dad, Dad,
it's just coffee. Just drinking, okay, just just drink.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen dome. All right,
So coming up next.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
We'll get back into that story I promised a few
minutes ago, but again, we wanted to go to that
breaking story with the Yankees losing one quarterback who is
under immense pressure succeed this year, said today, I don't
feel the pressure at all.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That's that's Jason Fox.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Be sure 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
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Okay,
I know it's the Rockies and the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Okay, I know this right. I wanted to get to Lebron.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
But this tonight, if you think the Yankees and the
Marlins was something, I don't even know what to tell
you at this point. The Pirates and the Rockies just ended.
The Pirates scored nine runs in the top of the
first inning. They led this game nine to nothing. Okay,
(38:16):
nine nothing.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Hey, the Rockies got one back in the first.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
They did, they did.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
They led the game nine nothing, and they let and
then Colorado, you know, chipped away a little bit, chipped
away a little bit, Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
But in the ninth inning, Pittsburgh goes into the bottom
of the ninth inning in Colorado with a four run lead.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
They lead this thing sixteen to twelve.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Okay, sixteen to twelve is the score going to the
bottom of the ninth inning, And not only do the
Rockies score.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Five, they win it on a walk off home.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Run by Brenton Doyle, who goes four for five on
the night, a two run homer. Five runs in the
bottom of the ninth the Rockies Colorado wins at seventeen sixteen,
two touchdowns for Bonnicks. Here is the final call, Steve
de Seger, you have the final call the Rocks the
Shirts game.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Let's hear it. I've never seen anything like case.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Shot.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Dude, show thirty three runs, forty.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Hits in but just sixteen for Pittsburgh. You know, Aaron
Rodgers not having a good day. They're expecting more from
him offensively. But look, hey, hey, you know Sean Payton
out coaching, Mike Tomlin winning seven. This is like one
of those games like in the early nineties at Corsfield,
and they happened all the time where this is the
way it went.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
The end of the game, right, and you got the celebration.
I think the Rocky should be docked two runs for
those terrible uniforms. But that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Maybe they were Maybe that's why it was a nine
run first. Maybe the Pirates just got nine because of it,
like they didn't you know, hey, we didn't have to
bat in the first.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
They just gave us nine because yeah, I don't even
know how to describe them. They're terrible. But the shot
of O'Neil Cruz going back to the dugout, you know,
earlier in the show we were talking about, you know,
you have those days of what the hell am I
doing here? And in any aspect of your life, you're
sitting in traffic, you're having battles, maybe your kids and
(40:33):
you are and you know, jiving on you know, whatever
you got going on. Your were, other relationships, your work relationships,
whatever part, whatever aspect is like what am I doing?
That was the O'Neil Cruz look as he walked to
the dugout and put his glove up, like, wow, it's
like a groundhog day for me.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Really, this is I can't we thought that I see
your Yankees. Barlin's game, and I raise you a Rockies
Pirates game. I'm Malkovich licking the Oreo cookie.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Ah, yeah, you want to do Okay, let's bet it.
Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
And over there, you got what's his name, Rispoli is grandma?
Watch what are we doing over here?
Speaker 1 (41:20):
You know that, you know we talk about this a
lot in football. How for the all the big NFL
films like Season in review that he used to do
all the time. Here's a half hour of the Jets season,
of the Bears season. And if you were terrible, right,
they all they took all the best high when they
showed because I don't want to show that you were terrible.
They take all the best highlights from one game, yeah,
and the and they play it for all that this Hey,
(41:42):
this was the best you had last year. Like if
you did a half hour Rocky show this year, you
would show every highlight from this game, Every single highlight
would be from this game. And then yeah, we may
lost one hundred and twenty five games and set the
all time record, but man, we came back from down
nine against the Pirates and one.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Do you remember the start of the second half of
the season.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I do I'll tell you some absolute insanity in matro
league baseball.
Speaker 3 (42:08):

up next. This is fox Woo

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm sorry by command to the show for at while.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I gotta call my dad and make sure he's okay,
because I don't know about what's going on with him
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Watching that Yankee game, well that is going on quickly.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
The best you can hope for is I mean, the
reboot hasn't come out yet with Jamie Lee Curtis, but
maybe it's just some old Angela Landsman murder, she wrote,
instead of watching the Marlins and Yankees here on a
Friday night.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
For over forty years, Tyrerack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how what where they drive. Ship Fast
and Free backed by free Road, has protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tyrac dot com is
the way tire buying should be. Well, yeah, look, I say, everybody,
uh back at back playing day three games last night
in baseball, all the new lot of new players are there,
(01:18):
Bell's Bells is already playing at City Field, the Mets
already losing in the tenth inning, but the Yankees, who
had a nine to four lead over the Marlins, now
find themselves trailing the Marlins ten to nine. After the
Marlins put up six runs in the bottom of the
seventh Stours hits a Grand Slam. So all of a sudden,
(01:38):
all the good feeling, like that's why trades last, the
good feeling of trades last one day.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
All right, great, I'm excited, ready for the second half.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Then you go out you lay an egg in that
next game. It's like, ah, why do we make all
these moves war? We just stink? Why do we do this?
We're back to where we were before. Yeah, but you
still have like eighty games.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I don't care. Now it doesn't matter. We stink.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Look at this, We all this excitement after what we did,
yet's saying the trade deadline and now we can't even
win our next game. All these other teams have quit. Yeah,
forget it. When's football starting?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, I mean you at least take some solace in
the fact that gian Carlos Stanton's back in the lineup. Sure,
and need another home run today, I mean, I know
that's right. Hey, look, I'm trying, buddy, You try trying
to be positive on it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Needs you to be Nobody needs you to try for
the Yankees to be positive. No, there's other there's other
great moments of positivity we're gonna have tonight on the show.
Nobody needs that that, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And Stour's a guy, you know, he's one of those
guys that you pull as a rookie card autographing, like, hey,
guy's twenty seven, Yeah, twenty seven. Now he's running four
home runs now, sure, So I mean he's having himself
one hell of a year. And look, hate watching the
Yankees is definitely a very doable thing. It's got like
when people get mad about the Dodgers beat the Rays
(02:50):
five nothing today, Clayton Kershaw getting it done and and
but everybody wants to see them vanquished. So yesterday was
a lot of celebration. They did what for the trade deadline?
They were wishing and hoping. Meanwhile, the Cubs are asleep
over there but wishing and hoping. Ha. And then they
go and win because again Clayton Kershaw pitching, like you know,
he's turned back the clock another seven years. So all
(03:12):
of that to say, you know, with second half begins
even though there's only what fifty five games are so
left for all these teams.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh, that's good. It's a good way to be positive there. Okay,
I like that. I like that. That's good.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I like that well a little bit. Right, take the good,
you take the bad. Andrew Vaughns a superstar after leaving
the White Sox. So I mean all of that plays
together into what is a beautiful weekend because it's also
now officially football season. Yeah, and it talked about yesterday,
So that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's here, and boy do we have a huge NFL
story that has been evolving over the course of the day.
The best defensive player in the NFL says he no
longer wants to be a Dallas Cowboy. Micah Parsons, in
a situation that has been percolating for the past few
month month, wants a contract extension and no longer is
(04:03):
this a tenable situation. He puts out a message on
social media that yes, I wanted to be here. I
did everything I could to show that I wanted to
be a cowboy and wear the star on my helmet.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Unfortunately I no longer want to be here right now.
There's a lot of he said.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
He said with this because you want to go back
and over the course of this story that has been
evolving over the course of the past few months, look,
Parsons wanted to stay. The Cowboys said they wanted to
sign him. Apparently, a few months ago, Parsons negotiated what
the Cowboys thought was his new contract without his agent present, which, okay,
you never do that, So that's on Mikah Parsons. But
(04:41):
since that happened, there has not been any conversation because
after Parsons talked to the Cowboys, the Cowboys thought we
had a done deal, parsons agent called to say no,
there's still some negotiating left to be done, and the
Cowboys said, no, we have a deal. Since then, relationships
have deteriorated. Jerry Jones has talked about the need for
Parsons to stay healthy and you'd never see Jerry Jones
(05:03):
take shots at anybody that he wants to sign to.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
A long term deal.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And things have been boiling over some of its negotiation,
some of it's the art of the deal. But now
you get to a point no matter what side you
take on this, no matter you believe, Michah Parsons said, listen,
we've been above board with the Cowboys the whole time,
and the Cowboys are being bad or the Cowboys are saying, hey, listen,
we had a deal and now suddenly everything changed. He
wanted more money because since we negotiated what we thought
(05:28):
was a deal, other star defensive players got a lot
of money.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We watched three new players signed contracts, including TJ. Watt
getting over thirty million dollars a year. So maybe this
is part of Hey, cowboys thought they had a deal,
but now maybe Michah Parsons wants to reneg on that.
There's a lot of he said, he said, we're going
to get into right. There's a lot of back and forth.
But the bottom line is this right, looking at this,
is this a negotiation?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Is this something that can be saved?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Because you had Micah Parsons say on social media, I
know law longer want to be here. That is the
bridge that you need to burn if you are a
star and you want out. We talk about it with
the NFL, with the NBA players all the time, right
Kevin Durant, Lebron James, all these other players can say, yeah,
my agent is potentially looking at fits sources. But if
(06:16):
you're a star and you want to get dealt you
have to burn that bridge, because that's what we see
in the NBA. That's what we're seeing now. Michah Parson's saying, quote,
I no longer want to be here. You don't come
back from that to say I no longer want to
be held to closed door negotiations without my agent present.
I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured.
We'll laying it on the line for the organization. Are
(06:37):
fans of my teammates, This is I want out. I
no longer want to be here. Whoever side you're on
with this, this is untenable and Micah Parsons should stick
to this. Instead, somebody's gonna pay you. Don't worry about it.
You want to get paid like those guys I get.
You're the best defensive player in the NFL. You're the
guy I would pay more than anybody because of your
talent and your age.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Right, some of these guys getting big money. Look, TJ.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Watt deserved that money four years ago. Doesn't deserve that
money now. But the Steelers, you know, Hey, we like
to reward guys like this. Somebody else will pay you.
Stick to it. You will get it. It's in the
best interest of both both sides. Now if you move on.
This has not been a sweetheart negotiation where it's business
behind closed doors, but in public, Hey, Jerry Jones is
saying nice things about you like he always did about
(07:19):
Dak Prescott or CD Lamb or Ezekiel Elliott. This has
been I worry about. You know, we paid a guy
last year that got hurt. You gotta be on the field.
And Michael Parson's got hurt last year. Gotta be on
the field. WHOA what happened to Jerry Jones? I always
like to take care of my stars. This is untenable
from both sides. This is not something that can be solved.
Micah Parsons should go to a new team. He will
(07:41):
go to a new team. And for the Cowboys, hey,
it's better for that. You have a lot of holes
to fill in other parts of your team. You clearly
haven't been great with him in his prime, So are
you gonna be better with him in the back half
of his prime? Probably not for both sides. It is
time to move on. Parsons needs to be someplace else.
Cowboys need to move on, Parsons saying he had crossed
the rubicon with I no longer want to be here.
(08:03):
That's the biggest thing. He needs to go.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
He needs to get out, and this needs to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You know, my favorite thing to surface because I mean,
there's so many layers to this. It's so much fun.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Micah Parsons on podcasts in the past taking shots of
teammates and team makeup and everything. And one that came
back when Nico IAmA Maliava was talking about renegotiating deals
and holding out a spring practice quote. I mean this
goes to college football, but the start was college football
(08:35):
a joke. Now you all mind's well, college into a
semi pro league. Actually hoole players accountable to the contracts
they sign. I'm Micah, there's one more year. It's one
more year on your deal. Oh you know what else?
If you really want to play this, They've got a
couple of years of franchise tags. If you just want
to sit around and really make it. I want to
(08:55):
know how you got to the conversation. I know Jerry
likes the sidle up and have the conversation with the
player thing. But all those months ago, why is this
becoming an issue? Oh, I don't want to he doesn't
want to talk to my agent. Now. If this was
a deal, I mean, Micah hasn't been shy. We would
have heard about this a long time ago. So evidently
you thought it was okay too back whenever the in
(09:18):
principle agreement was agreed to, right, and obviously the market changes,
and I think you know how you get pasted it all.
What's Miles Garrett getting per year at a dollar? And
then he'll feel loved and here's a cake and everybody
celebrates and you move on. But in the interim, Yeah,
it's great theater. It's great theater. There's still this we're
(09:40):
still in the second act.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, well look, but that's why I said it. It
doesn't matter who's look because there's blame that we can
break that. Like I said, you never negotiate a contract
without your agent present. Whatever situation is, Michah Parsons has
to be smart enough to know, Hey, whether I'm walking
in there of my own volition because I want to
get something done, or the Cowboys decide to call him
saying let's get him in front of us, he would'll
agree to. You have to know if you're Micah Parsons. Yeah,
(10:04):
we could talk about anything you want to, but my
agent does the money right, Like I learned that a
long time ago. We can tie whatever conversation you want
to have about my role, what I'm doing on the field,
on everything else. But my agent does the money right.
That's why you have an agent. So, yeah, is that
his fault?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
But could that be the Cowboys trying to do something. Yeah,
I'll be the first one to tell you. I don't know.
But but all of that is irrelevant because he said
I no longer want to be here. This is what
stars do, James Harden. That's how we got out. That's
how he gets out of every place, saying this place sucks.
I don't want to be here anymore. This, oh plays
(10:41):
is off. Okay, that's how you get out. What you say,
this situation is untenable. I cannot be here anymore. That's
what gets stars traded, right. This is why Lebron is
still a Laker because he hasn't come out and said
I'm done, and he's getting close to that point with
Now we'll get to that part later on in the
show with all this Clippers stuff. But like this is
what you if you out, you have to say I
want out. If Jannis wants to get traded from the Bucks,
(11:03):
he's gotta say I want out. It doesn't work here anymore.
That's how it goes, and they will find a way
to trade you. That's that's the whole big deal with
the Knicks and their coaches that they kept calling these
teams for permission. The teams kept saying no if they
If the guy wanted to coach the Knicks, all he
had to do is say I want to talk to
the Knicks. Well, now we gotta let you go because
you can't come back to this team.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You have to be the one to stand up sometimes
be the bad guy and say this is no longer tenable.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I want out.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Crazy thing is for the Cowboys, it's no longer to
the point where all the fans are gonna say, well,
screw you.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We don't want you anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's gonna be Look what Jerry Jones is doing now.
He's pushing bike and partisons out. So he's gonna win
the he's gonna win the battle of getting the trade,
and he's gonna win the battle in the media because
everybody blames the Cowboys and Jerry Jones for everything. But
that's what people don't don't see with this. You worry
too much about a signing, blame and who goes where.
And it's a great conversation, but it comes down to it,
I no longer want to be here.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That means trade, and both sides are moving on for
a fresh start. He'll get paid, the Cowboys will have
money to go spend in other bad places, ringing other players.
The probably shouldn't buy but anyway, but it will work
and both sides need to move on. And this is
that moment he drew that line in the sand and
he said that's it is.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
He gonna lay down and kick his feet and hold
his breath and say.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm leaving home.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
You don't love me anymore, I'm going away. And you
pack a couple of toys in your backpack and you start.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Are upset at it. You're upset at him, aren't you.
Why are you so upset? Stand? Why are you so mad?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You wanted to be full of positivity on a Friday? Oh,
here he is in the sand and he's playing with
some kind of sand castles.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No, he didn't build any sand castle. Whatever it is,
nicely done. Let's quote lay miss all night. I'll start
quoting some of the Jesus Christ Superstar lines for their
performance out here in la and.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Just go for John Faulshahn is not a bad idea,
TJ all right, good.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Not bad?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Young?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He did he did his work. How many years was
he in the in the brig?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean like it was a long time. It wasn't
a long time that he was there a long time?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Like like, look, it's just the next escalation of things again.
I want to know why his agent hasn't been part
of this the whole time. Like that's the thing that
doesn't make any sense to me in this timeline. And
where all right, Micah, go do this about how about
the agent now speaks up? What's it?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Muleta?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Uh, he's a a big deal in athletes first, right,
there's a there's a big time guy he's been sitting
on the sidelines this whole time. How's he been Yeah, look,
because it's it's ridiculous. So like like everybody screwed this
five year old tantrum that and that mic is I
don't want to be here anymore. And I get it.
He put a lot of thought into that ig post
(13:44):
or wherever the hell that originally appeared, and good for him.
You had to scroll and you got extra clicks for
it and whatever. Maybe he maybe why do.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You say it's a tantrum?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean, this is something that that both sides that
they've been working on for months and it just hasn't happened.
So I mean, like, okay, not, it's not something where
he walked in today and they said, oh sorry, yeah,
we're not doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I'm going on social media right now.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
This has been Hey, every They've been trying to do
this for the last few months, and I said, both
sides have to get I have to take blame on this.
I mean, I can't sit here and say that it's
all parts AND's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's all his fault.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He's got But this is how it works. This is
how players get traded. But this is how play in
all sports. This is how players get traded. Nobody trades
their stars unless unless they know they have to. And
this is the only way to know you have to
is if a guy says, I absolutely want out, I
want out, I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Be here anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's how it happens everywhere now because to try to
get it's it's very difficult to get stars. It's really
really difficult. So teams have decided to take the strategy
of all right, well, okay, until you tell me you
want out. Guess what you're you're gonna be here. Okay, well,
y'all tell me you want out. Now, we gotta do something.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, I'm curious to see what the next is from
Jerry on this one, as to what the next public
statements are from him, or whether he does a dramatic
reading of these poor wherever it goes through. But again,
I unless I missed it in my drive to the
studio again, were the agent he's been sidelined? I mean, look,
(15:23):
he Micah makes it sound like they locked him in
a room and wouldn't let him talk to Now, you
already used your one phone call, you get nothing else
that that's the way he's describing this.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Am I wrong, Like, isn't that.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Really what he's sayings like or it sounds like they
cut they cut my cell reception while I was in
that room with these guys talking about terms.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Now is it now? Is it that? Or is it hey?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
After this happened, we kept trying to contact them and
they didn't get back with us. Like we kept trying.
My agent kept trying to call the Cowboys, kept.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Saying, but we're not gonna say that.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Don't make it sound like he tried to engage, and
the Cowboys kept saying nothing. Wouldn't call anybody back, They
wouldn't talk to my agent, They wouldn't engage in they
thought we had a deal, and we're not gonna talk
about a deal because we thought we had one, Like,
I mean, this is I mean, look, it's a lot
of he said they said. But but in the end,
all that doesn't matter. They have passed the point of
no return. Now the best player in the NFL needs
(16:19):
to be traded. He wants to be traded. He has
thrown that line in the sand. I don't know how
you come back from this, How do you come back
from I don't want to be here anymore too. Oh hey,
I was just really yeah, you know that was the
thing that was Friday. So but now I feel much
better today because now all guaranteed money I'm getting, Like
I mean, this is.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You've had a lot of time on ills, man.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
But you had a lot. Well the thing is you'll
get who's not gonna pay mi Coah Parsons. I mean,
who's not gonna pay any thirty thirty one other teams
in the NFL will pay my Camparsons? Right the Cowboys
the only one saying, hey, we have the best defensive
player of the NFL. We're fighting a way to not
pay him and lose him for nothing. But like this,
this now has to happen. He's gonna he'll get paid
someplace else. Now is he gonna be as happy as
(16:59):
he is being a cowboy, because he really enjoyed being
a cowboy, Like maybe it's a little bit more to
get used to, but clearly he wants the bag. He's
not gonna get it here. He has said that I
no longer want to be here. So guess what, that's
what's gotta happen. Man, We got we gotta see a deal,
and that everybody should be lining up. Hey, you don't
have to give It's not gonna be a thing where
(17:19):
you have to spend so much draft pick wise because
you got to sign him.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
To a new contract.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So yeah, everybody load up, man, Michaeh Parson's first round pick,
whatever it could be, with the stipulation you're gonna sign
him to a long term deal.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Guess what, man, I mean, Michael Parsons in a new
uniform is happening.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well, let's see, I'm trying to think of what was
the comp It was Khalil Mack right when he went
from Oakland to Chicago. Was to first, a third, a sixth,
let's see, a second, and a conditional fifth. There's a lot. Yeah,
so you know, hey, someone wants to come to the
(17:56):
table for all of that. Otherwise, Jerry seems like the
guy he'll he'll just he'll do this thing of kicking
his feet outside and hold his breath. Oh, he'll do
the same thing.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We'll have more on this coming up next, because I
don't think there's any way Jerry Jones can go through
a season where Micah Parsons is the story every day?
Is he coming in? Is there anything? Are you trading
him like, I don't think he's gonna do.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
That, but it lets him suit up and get in
front of the microphone again. It's all his fault. We're
four nine, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
All he was here. He was here very better May
last year. He was hurt.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Now he's sitting out.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look what he did exit out about a Fresca exit

Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tiraq dot
com is the way tire buying should be. Well, you know, hey,
I'll put my money where on my mouth is tonight.
You know you talked about positivity last hour. My p
(20:49):
and I criticized you for not being positive about the
Micah Parson story because you wanted to say that he was,
you know, he said throwing a tantrum and sand toys.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
And everything else.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I'll put my money where my mouth is because you
know what pains me to say this. It doesn't really
what I'm pretending is that. Listen, if you want to
do a good deed tonight, right, if you want to say,
what can I do tonight here? How can I pay
it forward? How can I get some good karma in
my life? It is eleven o'clock on the East Coast,
right eight o'clock or West coast where Mike and I are.
(21:18):
If you have a friend who's a Yankee fan, call
him and check in on him, because they're not doing
great right now. No, jar, they are not doing great
after what happened tonight. Who man, I'll tell you. And
I thought I had a bad night with the Mets
losing to the Giants four to three and Ronnie Marisio
striking out with the bases load in the bottom of
(21:39):
the tenth thitting No, no, no, hey, I got nothing
out yet, bad, But I got nothing on the Yankees tonight.
This is what just happened. The Yankees and the Marlins
a game. The Yankees were up nine to four in
the seventh inning. Okay, Marlins, are you know? Look they're
not terrible, They're a five hundred ish team. But hey,
(22:00):
here are the Yankees that made their big moves the
deadline all times of excitement. Yeah, things are great, right, yeah, wonderful.
They're up nine to four. Everything is good. The Marlin
score six in the bottom of the seventh to take
the lead ten to nine. Right, Oh, my goodness, the
sky is falling for the Yankees. But hey, not so fast,
(22:22):
My friend in the words of Lee Corso. Right, Volpi,
it's a home run to tie the game at ten.
Right McMahon, who they traded.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
For a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I'll tell you what, nicmahon, you can McMahon gets a
hit to bring in a run. Volpi doubles to bring
in another run. So suddenly, hey, Volpi, McMahon, look at
these guys we were in twelve ten, going to the
bottom of the ninth inning. Everything is wonderful, right hey,
and here comes our brand new closer. Right here comes
Camillo Deval We know, I know, we said that Devin
(22:51):
Williams was our closer, but really we were just lying.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
So yeah, here comes de vall fresh. We got him.
We're ready to go awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, he gets into a little bit of trouble and
a big error ties the game at twelve. So all
of a sudden, the Yankees go from a twelve to
ten lead. Here just got to close out the bottom
of the ninth inning. Now the game is tied to twelve.
And then here's how the Marlins walked it off to one.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Framirez a little tripling right in front of the play.
Tenserweld picks it up cut in it scarcer.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
There's the craziest game of the year. It's a swimming
funs from the former Yankee prospects Augustin Raviz up sweet
even as comes in from third.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This game is over and this team.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Is electric, not just two games under five hundred. Hey,
you know the Marlins are electric. Look this fot This
is one of those plays that.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
It's hard to sit back and believe in karma and
fate when you think sometimes it's just not your years.
But this is one of those plays that tells you
about that, right, because this is something where it is
just a little dribbler in front of the plate, right Ramirez,
you heard former Yankee farm man Ramirez hits one, and
yes it's a swinging butt, but there's so much English
(24:21):
on the ball, right, Like he bounces, and it just
bounces a little bit to the right, like down the
fra It doesn't go straight back out towards towards the
pitcher's mound. It kind of dies off his bat and
kind of dovetails a little bit to the right, and
you can't get to the ball in time. There was
(24:41):
no way. There was nothing that Wells could do. He
had to go the ball to even make it off
the dirt in front of home play. He didn't make
it onto the grass by the time he goes out
there to get it, and an incredible speed with Edwards
scampering home from third well ahead of the tag like
this is one of those plays where you go, this
shouldn't happen. It's a perfectly placed, dropped, swinging bunt in
(25:03):
front of the plate and you have the wherewithal and
the speed at third base to score. This is one
of those times where I just walk in. If I'm
the Yankees, if I'm Aaron Boone, I I just throw
my hands and go. Sometimes man, it's just not your year.
Sometimes it's just not your time. And it's hard to
think that because it's one hundred and sixty two games
(25:23):
or momentum changes every day, but certain losses during the
year in Major League Baseball is when you sit back
and go, you know, what are we doing this for?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Like you have times in your life you come home
from work and go, what am I doing this for?
What am I doing? What should I be doing? Something
different with my life? Here?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Personally you come home and go, what am I doing?
Am I really is this relationship going forward?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
What am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And then sometimes you shake yourself out of it and
you Okay, they just had a bad couple of minutes there.
But sometimes you sit back and you think about it
for a while. I gotta think about what I'm doing
with my job or this relationship or whatever it is.
This is where you're a Yankee fan, you're one of
the Yankees. You gotta sit back and go, man, is
this really gonna happen for us this year?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Man?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Because boy, I'll tell you, man, I don't I don't
know what to say about this. We blow a five
run seventh inning lead against the Marlins. We take a
three run lead. Uh, we take a two run lead
in the bottom of the ninth and our new closer,
our new electric back of the bullpen guy, comes in,
and we lose because we make an error in right
field and then it's a it's the most perfectly placed
(26:22):
Q shot in front of the plate that we lose to. Like, really,
this is if I'm the Yankees, I really start wondering,
you know, the like you like to say, Mike, the
meaning of life and what we're getting here, if it's
gonna work for us?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
This is one of those games for the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I'm having that as I'm sitting here in the studio
looking to my left and there's an empty chair. But
it's just the idea that you you're right back where
you were last year, because now you're having flashbacks to
everything that plagued you and took you out of a
World Series game and ultimately out of a series win.
(26:56):
You know you didn't and you just stated and had
that arnade all off season. Now you get into the
second half of the year, you're excited. Here's the guys
coming back. Like I said, Stanton is back in your
lineup and he's starting to hit. He's like, all right, great,
you're gonna wait on Judge. All this wishing, wanting, hoping,
and then all the things that came back, including the
(27:18):
aforementioned Judge error that you know, you're all picturing it
right now as I say it. And if you hate
the Yankees, you might be grinning, you might be laughing.
Maybe you took a sip of your drink and just
about yeah, Yankees. So now it's the back of the
fish rap that's gonna talk once again about how Fielding
did them in I mean, really fundamentals and Aaron Boone
(27:41):
losing his mind. Yeah, I mean you're lucky because now
you're just relegated to either the top or bottom, where
it'll be a glib one liner. Yankees are going front
and center on this one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I mean really, it seems right by the fish. It
seems like there are forces working against us.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I mean that may be the games. Maybe you used up.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh your good will? Oh man, they use it up?
And when did uh when did the bill come do?
A fifth inning of Game five of the World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That's when the bill came due for the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Absolute insanity. Like I've now seeing this play in right
field about seven times in a row. I know it
looks worse every time.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, i'd be really.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I mean the other is just a you know, an
unlucky you know number. Uh the play and right field like, oh,
he's gonna come up gunning. No he's not. He forgot something.
But I tell you what his form otherwise was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh this new look Yankee bullpen. Now right, here's a
new super Yankee bullpen. What what are their numbers to night? Look,
I got them for you, uh two and things pitched,
nine runs allowed.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
There's your there's your Yankee bullpeny.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
There you have it.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So I texted, I texted my dad right because I like,
I said, put my money were my mouth is right
after this.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I mean, this is just an absolutely awful, awful game. No, no, no,
I checked. I wanted to check in on him. I
put my money were mouth. It's like, okay, let let's see.
So I checked in and I said, hey, are you
okay after that?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And he said, yeah, I'm just gonna catch up on
my sleep from that fiasco on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Now he's going back to Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
He's still catching up for the Yankies for two days.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Wow, hello darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And so I checked in on Fabiano, right, you know,
the other big Yankee fan I know, And he said,
and he texted me back, what a joke.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I hate cash Man.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I was at the game and I forgot because he
lives in Florida. He's he's going to all the games
this week. Maybe he's not gonna go after this game tonight,
but he's going to all the games this week.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, he may not show up tomorrow. You might You
might have a ticket available if you're looking to go
to a game.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, I mean check in with your fellow friend Yankee
fan friends, because it is not good right now. Man,
Look it's it's very rare. Because again I get it, right,
I look at baseball my entire life. This is why
I would be a terrible manager in baseball, but a
great GM, because I would sit here and say, we
have to change everything. We've lost three in a row.
We gotta change it all, right, I'd be a horrible manager.
(30:29):
But sometimes there are losses that you know, you get
at the end of the year. So they do this
in Chicago, I know they do this in New York
a lot. They do it here in LA where they say, okay,
here are the five losses that doomed so and so season,
or here's the five wins that made the season right
because of how big they were and the after effects
(30:51):
of them. And usually, you know, because the Mets, when
they do it, it's usually the five losses that doom
the season. And and I go, okay, I remember that game,
remember that game, like if the Yankey season like has
been just free falling for the last five weeks, Like
you look back at this game and you say, this
might be that moment that sets them on a long
losing streak or just things just start even more fall
(31:13):
apart for them, because this is this is the excitement
of the trade deadline and starting over and here and
here's our new bullpen. Right, It's not just we lost,
it's all the new guys we got we want to
unwrap and unveil, and we lose because of them. Like
it's it's so maddening. Not all loss in baseball are
created equal. Most of them are most number one of
one hundred and sixty two. There's a handful of year
(31:35):
that are more on both sides. Right, Some wins are
bigger than just one out of one sixty two. I
would say there's four or five in a year and
and and four or five losses. But for the Yankees, boy,
I don't know if there's a bigger one than this.
I mean, this game, this game is was an electric game.
It's it's gonna it's all of a sudden, it's exploding
on social media like this Yankee loss. Like I would
(31:56):
not be surprised if we look back and say, yeah,
that's a loss that.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Kill the Yankees. That's the one that killed the Yankee
season right there.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, curious to watch how they respond tomorrow, right, I mean,
this is one of them that may have lingering effects
because you did have to go to the pen a
few times. Rodan only got into the fifth before he
was chased nine strikeouts. That's all fine and good, but
chased out of this one. And then you have to
go and bring out all your shiny new toys off
the trade deadline, and it went for not so settle
(32:26):
up for another one and again the Marlin. I love
that call. I mean that's just fan. This team is electric.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, two games within two games and
five hundred. It's kind of another gale. I mean, come
oh yeah yeah yeah. And it's you know tape that
you want cut. It's like put that in my promo. Yeah,
(32:46):
and you know, look, I mean, and I don't know
what is gonna be. What's more of a oh my goodness,
I can't believe it. If it's gonna be the the
number in front of home plate or Cabiero again, who's
a big trade deadline acquisition who just completely biffs the
base hit and the ball rolls all the way to
the wall, which brings everybody around a score.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
And that's how the Yankees give up the lead like
this is this is a complete and total failure from
just I mean, all of their new acqua oh gods
they were bringing.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
I would say this, then the fielding play is a
bigger deal because that's I mean, that's correctable, that is actionable.
That is I'm a big league outfielder. The other one
is just bad luck, like that's the uh sage brush,
that's the my god, the baseball gods hate us kind
of moment. The other is just a mental and physical
(33:42):
convergence of just another screw up, which again is just
flashbacks of what cost you the World Series a year ago.
So that's gonna stick, I think a lot more. The
other is just what the hell right. It's like when
the guy hits the little little squib out in front
of the the first or third base line that the
(34:02):
fielder watches like, oh, it's gonna roll out and no,
and then it just dies because there's a little bit
of extra dirt that had been kicked there or whatever
the case is. Like, this is just bad luck. So
that one you can get past the other. No, not
not even close.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I mean this is I mean, really the first one
is how I can't believe we blew this in the
let and the second one is Okay, it's just not
it's just not our it's not our year.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's just it's just not I don't.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Know what we've been celebrating though, all these you know,
cannon for arms, guys in the outfield, going back to
the n Acuona throw and some of the other he
didn't even field it. He didn't even get a chance
to throw or throw a lollipop or throw a terribly
upward back you know, up the line or behind the
catcher or whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Like, we didn't even get a throw.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
I mean, that's that's one of those I'd like that
on a baseball card. I want that on a sports flick.
Oh look at we got a fielding play. It's like, no, no, no,
it's because he didn't feel the ball.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Oh man, it really it is a This is an
absolute stunner and it's gonna be the big highlight you
see for the next twenty four hours again, blowing the lead,
and there's so many that to me, there's so much
drama with this game. There's the big lead that you're
feeling great, you're up, you know, you're up six nothing, Okay,
then it's nine to four. You're feeling great, right, the
(35:21):
trade deadline happened, you have new acquisitions, you're feeling really good. Okay,
you blow the lead, all right, but then you retake
the lead and you're feeling, hey, this is what good
teams do. That's what great team's doing. And a couple
of guys that you were hoping come through for you,
write Volpi, you has been oh, Vopy's not Jeter, I
don't understand all. Wicky comes to with a home run
in a double McMahon gets a big hit and scores
and scores the right. Okay, the guy we brought in awesome, awesome, awesome.
(35:44):
And then you have the ninth inning where Cabiero makes
the error and then the number in front home plate
and it's all the guys you got at the deadline
blew it for you, Like, how do you come back
from that again? How do you come back from that?
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yeah, it's funny how that works, that, that convergence of events.
There's no question about that. I guess you uh just say, well,
we still have fifty plus games, and you try not
to look at what the Blue Jays and other teams
that you're you're fighting with are doing? I mean, I
don't know. It's it's one one of one sixty two
(36:19):
in in theory. In practice, this one's hard, right, because
you had multiple opportunities to finish the job and start
the second half off right your point. A couple of
your acquisitions had big moments and big all right, welcome
to New York. You're you're now part of the squad.
And then you know, isn't there a song I play?
(36:41):
Right field? Got hidden as a kid because everybody was
a poll hitter.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike car and who
wanted to bring you that big breaking end of the
game between the Yankees and the Marvel It's just as sanity.
And man, I'll tell you, my dad, I got I
gotta bring my dad coffee tomorrow. I think that's'm gonna do.
I'm gonna help you my dad.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Here, I'll bring you coffee.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
He goes, what'd you putting it in error in right field? No, dad, Dad,
it's just coffee. Just drinking, okay, just just drink.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen dome. All right,
So coming up next.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
We'll get back into that story I promised a few
minutes ago, but again, we wanted to go to that
breaking story with the Yankees losing one quarterback who is
under immense pressure succeed this year, said today, I don't
feel the pressure at all.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That's that's Jason Fox.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Be sure 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
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Okay,
I know it's the Rockies and the Pirates.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Okay, I know this right. I wanted to get to Lebron.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
But this tonight, if you think the Yankees and the
Marlins was something, I don't even know what to tell
you at this point. The Pirates and the Rockies just ended.
The Pirates scored nine runs in the top of the
first inning. They led this game nine to nothing. Okay,
(38:16):
nine nothing.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Hey, the Rockies got one back in the first.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
They did, they did.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
They led the game nine nothing, and they let and
then Colorado, you know, chipped away a little bit, chipped
away a little bit, Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
But in the ninth inning, Pittsburgh goes into the bottom
of the ninth inning in Colorado with a four run lead.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
They lead this thing sixteen to twelve.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Okay, sixteen to twelve is the score going to the
bottom of the ninth inning, And not only do the
Rockies score.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Five, they win it on a walk off home.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Run by Brenton Doyle, who goes four for five on
the night, a two run homer. Five runs in the
bottom of the ninth the Rockies Colorado wins at seventeen sixteen,
two touchdowns for Bonnicks. Here is the final call, Steve
de Seger, you have the final call the Rocks the
Shirts game.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Let's hear it. I've never seen anything like case.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Shot.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Dude, show thirty three runs, forty.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Hits in but just sixteen for Pittsburgh. You know, Aaron
Rodgers not having a good day. They're expecting more from
him offensively. But look, hey, hey, you know Sean Payton
out coaching, Mike Tomlin winning seven. This is like one
of those games like in the early nineties at Corsfield,
and they happened all the time where this is the
way it went.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
The end of the game, right, and you got the celebration.
I think the Rocky should be docked two runs for
those terrible uniforms. But that's a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Maybe they were Maybe that's why it was a nine
run first. Maybe the Pirates just got nine because of it,
like they didn't you know, hey, we didn't have to
bat in the first.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
They just gave us nine because yeah, I don't even
know how to describe them. They're terrible. But the shot
of O'Neil Cruz going back to the dugout, you know,
earlier in the show we were talking about, you know,
you have those days of what the hell am I
doing here? And in any aspect of your life, you're
sitting in traffic, you're having battles, maybe your kids and
(40:33):
you are and you know, jiving on you know, whatever
you got going on. Your were, other relationships, your work relationships,
whatever part, whatever aspect is like what am I doing?
That was the O'Neil Cruz look as he walked to
the dugout and put his glove up, like, wow, it's
like a groundhog day for me.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Really, this is I can't we thought that I see
your Yankees. Barlin's game, and I raise you a Rockies
Pirates game. I'm Malkovich licking the Oreo cookie.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Ah, yeah, you want to do Okay, let's bet it.
Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
And over there, you got what's his name, Rispoli is grandma?
Watch what are we doing over here?
Speaker 1 (41:20):
You know that, you know we talk about this a
lot in football. How for the all the big NFL
films like Season in review that he used to do
all the time. Here's a half hour of the Jets season,
of the Bears season. And if you were terrible, right,
they all they took all the best high when they
showed because I don't want to show that you were terrible.
They take all the best highlights from one game, yeah,
and the and they play it for all that this Hey,
(41:42):
this was the best you had last year. Like if
you did a half hour Rocky show this year, you
would show every highlight from this game, Every single highlight
would be from this game. And then yeah, we may
lost one hundred and twenty five games and set the
all time record, but man, we came back from down
nine against the Pirates and one.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
Do you remember the start of the second half of
the season.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I do I'll tell you some absolute insanity in matro
league baseball.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
We got more from the NFL and the NBA coming
up next. This is fox Woo
