(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Happy Friday night. Welcome
inside our to The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, where who says Friday is a slow newsday?
Another big trade happens goes down in Major League Baseball
two the Seattle Mariners, Yes, as they get Luis Castillo
(00:49):
from the Reds in exchange for four of their best prospects,
and not one of them is named Jared Kellnick, not one.
So they keep Jared Kenny for now. I mean you
never know, you know, they move up now, you never know. Uh.
And yes, they did give up four really good players,
three of the top five prospects in their system. But
(01:12):
this Luis Castillo, you got them for this year, you
have them in the future. Uh. Look, this is how
you do it, man, I mean, I don't know what
people want. Sometimes, Oh it's a lot to give up. Yeah,
but these are prospects. The three of these guys may
stink one of them maybe, Okay, that's why they're prospects.
Luis Castillo is a really good picture. You're trying to win.
(01:33):
You're not saving for a day that you may not
know if it ever comes. And that's the thing about
not trading prospects is because prospects are there for two reasons,
to make your team better when they break through, or
to be able to maneuver to get good players to
come in and make your team better where you can win.
Now right, you are in Major League Baseball. If you
(01:54):
are too reticent to trade your prospects, you are saving.
You're basically saving for a day that you know is
not gonna come. Right. It's like I'm saying, I'm saving
all my money, why because I'm gonna go buy a
computer at the end of the year. I'm saving all
my money from my paper route and everything else. I'm
saying I'm gonna buy a computer at the end of
the year. That's great, right, that's hey, you're saving money,
you're working hard, You're gonna and at the end of
(02:16):
the year, you have a tangible result. Not trading prospects
is like, I'm gonna save my money. What are you
gonna do at the end of the year. Well, I
don't know with it? Well, but what do you mean, Well,
I would want to buy a computer, but there's no
computers available, So what are you gonna do? I don't know?
All right, So you're saving money for something you know
might not happen. Why don't you go out and have
a good time once you go on vacation. Don't you
(02:37):
go buy a new bicycle. Why don't you go buy
a video game? But no, no, no, no, I'm gonna say,
because maybe someday that computer may be available. Yeah, but
what if it's not. But it might be, but but
it might not be, And then what are you gonna do? Well,
then I'll use it. This is what prospects are like.
It is a risk, It is a gamble. You don't
know that there's gonna be that magical day where these
four guys all arrive at the same time and suddenly, hey,
(03:00):
where the Yankees dynasty again? Because because you know, so
many fans look back and go, that's the Yankees? Did
they at Jeter and Pettitt and and Rivera and Williams
and all come up with there. Yeah, it's one time
in history. Man. Okay, look, I know there's gonna be
critics of this trade, but Luis Castie was a really
good picture. Your team is good right now, all right?
The teams that are above you, they're not unbeatable. They
(03:22):
just watched the Yankees have some problems. The Astros are
really really good. But you know, what are you gonna do?
They play in your division. We gotta be able to
compete with them, So let's go make this move. This
is why you have those prospects. And just because there
are three of the five best prospects in your system
doesn't mean they're great, right. I mean, you look at
there are the three of the five best prospects in
the Mariner system. Maybe you know, they don't have to
(03:43):
be in the top fifty all across major League Baseball.
You think, oh, the top three guys? Yeah, alright, depends
on how your farm system is rated and how good
these players are projected to be. And a couple of
them are projected to be pretty good. But again I
go back to my point of prospects. This I love
this trade. For Seattle, I love the guts, I love
everything about it. And and for the Mariners, this is
(04:04):
a day to celebrate. This is a day for the
fans to celebrate. This is a day. If you're a
National League team and you didn't you didn't get Luis Castillo,
at least you don't have to worry about your team
having to go against Luis Castillo. So for teams like
the Mets and the Dodgers, it's like Christmas for there too,
because I didn't get them, but I don't gotta play
against them, So I went there to Mike Harmon. Yeah,
I think the biggest thing to remember, and you know,
(04:25):
brought up the Yankees and the dynastic approach, and it
took a lot of veterans coming in over the top.
Remember the old evil Empire. They're gonna go get whoever
is available, uh, to help bolster that and make it
what it was. The Cubs all of a sudden, they're scouting, uh,
group and draft room got everything right for a period.
(04:48):
They got their one title and then they lost their
lovable loser tag. But it it didn't it wasn't sustainable, right.
Those guys had that one year everything came together, magical
everything Mad did that we second guest as it was
happening on air. He had a rabbit's rabbit's foot the
size of the rabbit out of the money python skit.
(05:11):
That's that's how well everything worked for him there, um so,
but waiting for it to happen, right, we're talking about
the Mariners and we're making a joke, but it's the reality.
They haven't been to the playoffs in a generation. It is.
All those guys are in the Hall of Fame and
have been for years. They were the Veteran Hall of
(05:33):
Fame guys coming back this year. I think, welcome in
Mike Hey, Hall of Famer Martin. Some of those guys
were actual Veterans Committee selections, like they've been out of
the game so long. That's it that the Veterans Committee vote.
All right. So so we're talking about all this time
and you have a chance, and it's gonna take a
(05:55):
lot based on the way the playoffs are set up,
but you know what, you have a punch chance and
bringing in a guy with a live arm to sit
atop your rotation in a playoff series. You've just now
tried to at least stack a little bit more in
the chip count in your favor for guys who may
(06:16):
never develop, may never have been in your plans, right
because now you've got people that might be impeding their
progress to get to the two Major League Baseball and
may not be on the whole because what are we doing.
We're rating stuff. We do this all the time. Alright.
Here were the top five guys that were projected to
be Heisman finalists. How they do They sucked and then
(06:36):
they became Day three draft picks or undrafted free agents. Again,
we we love them all. We we love the pursuits.
But the reality is, you know, you got first and
you got last and a lot of stuff in between.
For Seattle, right now, you're on on the precipice of
doing something you haven't done in twenty years. You've got
(06:58):
the people showing up and voting with their dollars to
come to your home games, buying merge of Rodriguez and
these other guys TV ratings locally or up. So you've
got all of these positive things. So you know what
you do. You push in a little bit more and
if it means that one of those prospects goes on
(07:18):
to become a stud somewhere else, So be it right,
I can speak to it just from my Chicago White
Sox fandom. You're always gonna be able to laugh about. Wow,
you traded James Shields and got him for Fernando Tatis. Right,
that's always gonna be out there. But in the moment,
in that time in space, it was you needed an arm.
(07:40):
You went and got the arm. And what happens thereafter,
Hey man, he might have needed the getting out of
the organization to maximize who he became. Right, different approach,
different philosophy, different coaches. I turned to our guy because
I had to look for looking up our guy, uh
Softie over at Cage A R And here's his tweet
(08:02):
from about fifteen minutes ago. Quote trade prospects for established players.
People are pissed. Don't trade prospects for established players. People
are pissed. Hot, Damn, I've missed you all back on
here in Monday. So you want to talk about you
know where you find your excitement and fan bases, look
(08:23):
for this right for you. The Mets. The greatest move
wasn't player personnel. It was a new owner coming in
with a different attitude for me as a as Chicago
fan everything but the Cubs. It's the for the Bulls
and for the White Sox. When is Ryansdorff going to
finally leave the organization to somebody else? And when can
(08:45):
they push forward from there till then? Yes, exactly, And
that's the problem. It never moves forward. Seven playoff appearances
in the forty one years uh since he took ownership
of the team for the White Sox. So even with
all those prospects, and they've had plenty through the years,
a couple of Hall of Famers passing through. So for
the Seattle Mariners, upset in the apple cart today, I'm
(09:09):
sure plenty of GMS raised their eyebrows and went, well,
wh I'll be damned, Look who came to the party, right,
because you you might have when we've whispered about them.
Maybe they make them, maybe they don't. But to go
out and get and land the big fish amongst the
pitching rumored, you know, would be trade prospects, it's a
(09:30):
pretty big deal. Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harman live from our studios
here tonight, where we are breaking down big news, breaking
news and Major League Baseball. The Castillo trade, and we
also have the night Aaron Judge one the American League
(09:50):
MVP uh to home runs tonight, including a Grand Slam
as the Yankees beat the Royals. And now for Aaron
jo forty one home runs eighty nine RB. I I
ask you, Mike Harmon, how many judgeons are we gonna
get out of these two home run calls by John Sterling.
We're gonna play right now. Let's see we'll get an
(10:13):
all rise. So we get two of those, one judge
in and then some random analogy, euphemism, whatever term you
want to use. All right, here's the first one, the
home run that gave him forty on the season. He
joined Babe Ruth and Roger Morris as the only Yankees
players in history to have forty or more home runs
(10:37):
by the end of July. That ball is high that
us fun have gone. A Judge and Black two run
home run comes the Judge Hens take a three nothing leading.
Well there he is getting them all in. Okay, judge in,
(11:00):
we got an all rise. Here comes to job. Maybe
he felt bad about mailing it in the other night
when Aaron Judge had home at number thirty nine. Alright,
so we got one judge and from John Sterling Yankees
Radio Network. Uh now home run number forty one, which
made him the first person in baseball history to have
nine multi home run games in a season before August one. Alright,
(11:23):
veil that is high, that is far, that has gone.
It's a grand judge and class all rise and phatically
we got the same thing twice with the emphascist on
the selavel. You know, do you do you think that
(11:44):
he said the same thing, because remember there's a couple
of times over the course of this year that Sterling
got caught watching a replay and remember when he announced
home runs because he wasn't at the games. Oh it's
another I'm sorry, we're just showing a replay at the
home run from earlier in the game. Do you think
maybe he was maybe let me just say the same
exact thing, justin cases is a replay of his home
run from earlier in the game. Could be could could
(12:08):
be the way he went um looking at the lists
all time of getting there before August one. To the
forty home run mark, he has now tied with Babe
Ruth who did it in n and Jimmy Fox Jimmy
who did it in nineteen thirty two forty one, also
(12:30):
from Louis Gonzalez. In two thousand one, Ken Griffey Jr.
In Sosa had forty two in McGuire forty five and
forty five for bonds in two thousand one. Twitter and

in baseball tonight, Aaron Judge basically winning the m v P,
(13:38):
Luis Castillo gets traded to the Mariners. How about the
day in College Football Pac twelve had their media day
and their commissioner says, we may go shopping in the
Big twelve. We could see an expanded playoff. Lincoln Riley
shows up and says, well, glad to be at my
first Pack twelve media day. Well, at least they'll be

Shan Tucker. He is the owner, proprietor chief puba of
College Football News dot com. You're one stop shopping for
everything college football. Long time insider, longtime friend of the show.
Pete feu tech Pete, what's happening man? What's happening? Guys?
(14:25):
How you doing dominating? We got big, big, got big
college football stories tonight, we got big baseball story. We
got everything we need tonight and football student coming fast. Yes,
the baseball things cute, but like you're all right, that's
that's nice, But we know what we know what's coming here.
We don't know what's about to happen here. That's my
(14:48):
guy in Chicago talking with the Cubs and the White
Sox so I feel you paid. I understand here in
the I have YouTube TV. I haven't actually seen a
Cubs game in like two years. So as soon as
they switched it to Marquee, that's kind of coinside when
they started the stuck and so like IM just like
I don't need to watch that anymore. All right, it's
(15:08):
if then, you know, another John Wick showing is on somewhere.
That's all works now, dude, what would you rather watch
a Cubs game or the John Wick common fight scene.
I mean, come on, it's it's not even close outside
of the Game seven of the World Series John Wick,
I mean, yeah, it's baseball, like all right, all right,
so listen, let's get to all the big stuff today
from from media day. First things first, Uh, Lincoln Riley
(15:31):
trolling everybody when he shows up, it says, I'll be
here twice for the Fact twelve media. Hey. Yeah, and
then he's gonna be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. No,
I mean yeah, you know. I mean it's kind of
crazy how this whole thing works. But like media days
are always sort of boring to begin with, these are
a little more spicy than normal because Pact twelve is
(15:53):
an existential crisis here and really for the Pact twelve. I,
you know, not to get political here, but as other
people in certain places, they're saying, do something, George, Okay,
this is cute, but like where is your move? Like
enough of this? Like okay, we're waiting for this media
deal and waiting for the big tend to figure out
what it's gonna do with that, because no, no no, no, no,
(16:14):
come up with something to show people that the Pack
twelve is actually going to have something going forward. We
all know that they wanted to base everything out of
Las Vegas. Just just say you know what we're gonna
bring aboard U n l V. We all know that
they need to have some place in California south of
Palo Alto, So just do it already and just say okay,
(16:35):
we're just gonna do San Diego State already. Just just
make some moves, do something to kind of you know,
just to say, okay, way we're aligned to kicking here.
We've got stuff going on, because the problem at the
moment for them is that just we're all waiting. We
all know this is coming. If you if you want,
if you combine what's happening today or it could happen
today with the big ten media days. You just know
(16:55):
the sort of damocles is just holding over their head
from Kevin wore As being like, when we really decide,
you know it's worth our time and effort, we'll just
you know, when we want to Oregon in Washington and
Arizona will just kind of go get them. And I
don't know, we'll figure out when we get a little bored,
we'll just go take whoever else we want to go get. Like,
it's such a difference in how these conference media days
(17:16):
are rolling right now. Well, it's just funny, right because
you have the cavalier attitude of haven't decided if we're
going shopping here. Meanwhile us on the outside of going,
are you gonna survive or are you fracturing and being
absorbed elsewhere? It's truly a nice dichotomy. Yeah, and it's
here's the weird thing that makes big twelve people all
sort of are all kinds of mad. But the harsh
(17:38):
reality here is if you look at how these these programs,
the schools match up in terms of market size, in
terms of fit, in terms of yeah, okay, academically, you know,
some of these big twelve schools are pretty solid and
all that, but they don't really fit into the past
twelve model. That's I mean, like at least the current one.
Of course they've love to you know, Houston work in
(18:00):
certain ways, and certainly a Cincinnati for the market size,
but like I PAC twelve, you know, you can't. I
think at Iowa State does that do it for you know,
you know, Oklahoma State, Sure, that's kind of a big program.
But Kansas is the one. I think we've talked about
this before. I know they stink at football, but you know,
in terms of just being University of Kansas and having
(18:21):
all the positives that they have there, you know, that's
the one that makes sense. But like there really is
nothing there that's the Big twelve or the PAC twelvethy
just say yeah, we're just gonna go get these Pack twelve. Meanwhile,
on the other side, if you're the Big twelve and
you can go say get Utah, I mean the University
of Utah or maybe the University of Arizona, I think
(18:42):
that's a little overplayed. I'm not so sold that the
PAC twelve schools are going to go over to the
Big twelve. I think that they're all kind of waying
to see if they get asked to the dance by
the Big Ken before they would do the Big the
Big twelve. But I don't think the Big the Big
twelves feeling it right now. And just wait. I think
the Pactrol is gonna be fine. Remember last year and
(19:02):
around this time, all the Big twelve of dead. They're gonna,
you know, maybe they might be Conference USA or something
like this, and you know the Sun Belt was trolling
thing to take your team turn up to be okay.
And I think the Pactrol is going to figure this out.
But they've gotta do something pretty quick here. Well that's
the thing, Pete, is that I've said that this is
going to be the future of college football. The Big
(19:24):
ten is going to expand and they're going to get
to the Big twenty. They'll rebrand, They'll get Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon,
whatever it winds up being. The SEC will eventually get Miami,
Florida State and Clemson. So you have the two conferences
that have all the best teams. And the best way
for the Pac twelve to survive is for the Pac
twelve and the Big twelve and the a SEC to say, okay,
(19:45):
let's kind of do our best informed two conferences that
are one level below like to be super conferences. And
that's kind of how I see this thing playing. I
don't know if the PAC twelve can do it by themselves,
but could they have like a B level super conference
if they t them up with the Big twelve? And
you know, like I said, half those teams go, you know,
with the A C C. The other half go with
(20:05):
the with the Pack twelve. Yeah, I can see that happening. Yeah,
but what good? But who wins? Like what the The
only point of doing that is to say, hey, we'll
try to not to steal each other's schools, you know,
like the Big ten A CEC and PAC twelve alliance,
which you know certainly did not work out so hot,
you know. I here's the thing to remember. First of all,
(20:26):
if the if the Big ten has twenty teams and
the SEC has twenty schools, it doesn't really matter, you know,
at the end of the day, you know, as long
as you're I know, we all like the idea of
when he conferences and that's sort of a big deal
who we grew up with. And you don't want this
to be too just to sanitized like the NFL is
and you know, just say okay, let's get to the
(20:46):
playoff already, and you don't want to put a playoff
that's gonna be like the n c A Tournament, which
is going to mean everything because now college basketball really
you don't have to watch college basketball until about maybe
February twenty fourth issue or so, and then you don't
want that. So at the end of the day, the
other thing is kind of coming out of this is
kind of being underplayed, is the idea that every whatever reason,
(21:10):
every conference commissioner saying, yeah, let's expand the college football playoffs,
and it's not happening yet. So the one thing that
can happen out of all this is if they could
come to an agreement and say, you know what, we're
gonna take this up to twelve or even six team
and say we're gonna whatever configuration these conferences are in,
like whatever the Pack twelve looks like, whatever the Big
(21:31):
twelve looks like the a SEC, We're gonna say whatever
the traditional power of five conferences are, you each get
your champion in and then we'll go from there. Because
you do that, then okay, the Big then and the
and the sorry about that named the SEC. Uh, what
do you get there? Three or four teams in. You
could still get your Pack twelve champion in, and you
can still have an expanded college football playoffs and make
(21:53):
your regular season count. There's lots of reasons they can
do this. And at the end of the day, it's
gonna be fine. You know. It's there's been so many
changes in college football and college athletics over the last
you know, hundred and fifty years, and it just keeps
on roll and they'll figure this out. But most importantly,
as we get through this week of bluster and big
(22:15):
arrivals and and talk who won media Days, I would
say I would say, I know the easy answers the
Big twelve because again they are they're walking in, you know,
they're strutting. I mean, they think that they could just
go get anybody. Hey, we're alive and kicking. Now. I
think it's the Big Ten because everyone's reacting to them.
(22:37):
I mean there there wasn't really swagger on the Big
Ten media days. It was really kind of more about like, look,
we're the biggest, baddest business of the bunch. And the
SEC even had to kind of acknowledge it, and it's
kind of what we all know. Obviously, the SEC is
the best football conference. We all know that they all
gonna make a lot of money, but business wise, nobody
touches what the Big Ten does. And you can kind
(23:00):
to see it in their promos now Big Ten Network,
where they're kind of they're kind of thumping up the
fact that you you guard going from sea to Shining Sea.
You're going from you know, Rutgers on one coast all
the way to USC and the other and everything in
the middle here, and that matters. They they're just the
biggest conference with the best schools and the you know,
the biggest markets and the best branding and just the
(23:23):
whole thing. And you know, I know, if you tell
someone that in you know, Tuscagloose, Alabama, they'll certainly have
a different opinion of that. But the mirror, the fact
of the matter is Big Tens just the biggest, baddest
conference of the bunch. And they acted like at this
media Dave, you can fomb on Twitter at Pete Futach,
that is at Pete Futach the website College football news
(23:45):
dot com right now up on the front page the
all Big twelve Football team season Preview Top thirty players.
He's got it all and and trust me featured there
the percentage chance Shawn Tucker wins the Heisman Trophy. Pete,
what do you have for Shawn Tucker? If it's not
a lot as good as they're right? Thank you, Pete
(24:11):
again College Football News dot Com. Pete, welcome, and we'll
talk to you next week as we get rolling one
great stuff that few tech Look. I I can't see
the PAC twelve surviving. I just can't. I can't see
them surviving by themselves. And now they're the PAC ten right,
they're gonna we'll go back to be in the past.
We still got those T shirts and and uh and
(24:32):
computer mouse is mouse pads that say PAC ten. Right.
I can't, I can't see. I can't see any conference
surviving by itself. The PAC twelve won't survive by itself.
Neither will the Big twelve. Neither will the a c C. Right,
the a c C has got the best chance because
they have Clemson, Miami and Florida State. But eventually they're
gonna leave. I'm the a c C. I'm the one
(24:54):
pulling the power play right now, saying all right, we
got these teams. Now if you want to come here
and we can maybe maybe have the number three Super Conference,
and there will technically be three because right now you
want to push the popularity and the heritage of those
three schools. You get those three schools and you start
adding some good teams. You know, you can add Oregon
(25:16):
or Washington and and and Okay, maybe then you have
something and you can be there with the big boys.
But that's what has to happen right now. You have
to you have to lock down Miami, Clemson and Florida
stay and say, okay, how do we do this, or
we're just gonna be sitting around going, hey, we're gonna
have the B Conference playoffs. We'll have to be Hey,
the first round of the playoffs is Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Great,
(25:36):
that's gonna be fantastic. You need to do something pretty
good because you're not surviving right now the way it is. Yeah,
we always talk about first mover advantage, and obviously that's
long gone. Right Big ten came in and power bombed everybody.
Now it's the question of how do you react and
how do you gather to where you maintain your relevance,
and you have your eyes on as big a pile
(25:59):
of the cash from media properties and the viability of
your conference at whatever it becomes that you can and
to your point, and that means, all right, here's the
biggest football legacy schools, and let's look at the basketball
schools and see where they're feeling, you know, which way
the winds blowing there, and then build from there and
(26:23):
round it out with either academic powerhouses or folks that
are just geographical, geographically desirable, because that's really where we're
at in all of this, right, you want to find
as big a marketplace as you can, whether it's Oregon
because of the deep pockets uh and the Nike money UH.
And obviously we we've watched and it'll be curious to
(26:45):
see how it plays out when it gets into the
legal lease of it all, Jason, Both in Oregon and Washington,
you know, some preemptive moves at least in the legislature
to say, all right, Oregon and Oregon State have to
be paired together, Washington and Washington State have to be
paid are paired together. Whether they can do that legally
uh and make that stick, or if that's just a
(27:07):
little bit of all right, let's let's try to play

marketplace because after the next round it starts getting pretty ugly.

four in Major League Baseball tonight we saw Aaron Judge
basically win the m v P with a two home
run night, including a grand slam. Luisca Stillo is now
the next big prize off the table as the player
(28:13):
we've talked about the most outside of Wan Soto. Uh
just got dealt to the Mariners in exchange for four prospects,
including three of their top five. Great move for the Mariners.
I don't get people who don't like it. But you
want to talk about great moves, Mike Carbon, we have
something very special for you right now, extremely special. Uh.
(28:35):
The Mega Millions numbers are out one point to eight
billion dollars at stake. It is the second largest lottery
prize ever according to the New York Times. So I
assumed the number one lottery prize of all time, Patrick Ewing,
and then this one point eight billion, well over the
(28:57):
lifetime of his career, the money he may in, the
money he generated to about the garden, the money he
generated at the garden, my Carbon, that's where I'm not
his paltry multimillion dollar salary, but that takes a lot
of money, and he spends a lot of money. One
of the greatest contributions ever made by an athlete to
(29:20):
our collective industry. So the one point to now, I
don't know if anybody's one yet that we haven't heard,
but this is the money that's at one point to
eight billion right now. My dad is on vacation, going crap.
I forgot to play, son of I'm meant to go
get that diet and get tickets so well, because he's
one of my dad's one of those guys who goes, Dad,
you're gonna play lottery? Well, what's it at forty million?
(29:43):
I don't get out of bed until it gets to
a hundred million? Like that's my dad. Like he's that guy.
Uh So, here are your numbers. We're gonna give them
to you. Is only because we are sports right, we're
Fox Sports Radio. We will give you the numbers as
only we can. Here. Uh, ball number one, look it
(30:06):
out there, Come on, I got a lot riding on this.
Don Maynard. Don Maynard is ball number one. If only
it was instead of numbers the heads of random football.
Who the hell is that? That's dinner? He's a Hall
(30:27):
of Famer. What number did he wear? I don't give
a crap about that. Uh. Don Maynard is your first number.
Second number. Let's get back in. I feel like there's
like people are falling inside at the beginning of that sum,
you know, getting into getting into the tumbler to help
(30:48):
things along. Second number, Jerry Kuzmin. Jerry Kuzmin is your
second number. Half of the Tom and Jerry Show, Tom Seaver,
Jerry Kuzmin t too with the greatest Mets half of
the Nolan Ryan rookie card. That's Right's right, Who's had
a little bit of difficulty later on in his career.
But Jerry Kuzmin, White Sox and Jerry Kuzman, you did
(31:12):
you know? You did that a lot after we had
good players for a while, the White Sox said, Dad
for a year? Why not you did that? I mean
Tom Severs, the White Sox all the favor a member
of the White Sox. Kid graff, Are you kidding me?
That's about as great as it gets. Uh? Next number,
let's go Pedro Martinez super. He has grabbed that ball
(31:48):
both sides and throw it to the ground. That is
Pedro Martinez as your third number, the number or Zimmer,
depending on which to analyze that one. Don Maynard, Jerry Kuzmin,
Pedro Martinez ball number four. Fluck that out. Ah. He
(32:16):
pitched a no hitter and it may have ended his career.
Johan Santana's happy. What do you think? This is all
medicine checks? What do you think has happening? My arms
falling off? What do you right now? People are going
googling Jerry Kuzman, What the hell number? Who the hell
(32:38):
is that? Google image? Google image? Jerry? Who or what
is the Kuzman? No it is not Cush slash cush.
Is he the guy that invented the couzy that keep
my drink colding when I drink? No, he's actually a picture.
So Don Maynard, Jerry Kuzmin, Pedro Martinez, Yo want Santana
(32:58):
ball number five? Ah? You can see him on television.
You saw him with the Jett Damiano. Damien Woody is
your next number, Damien Woody. And now for the big one,
(33:23):
the big one. They put the big circle on the
big mega number. Come on one, short wet balls. Nil
O'donnald Wow, nil O'donald is your also? Because I don't
want to disrespect him, Gil Hodges nil O'donnald or Gil
(33:46):
Hodges of favor Jill Hodges. May I got his Gil
Hodges bobblehead from the Dodger game couple of weeks ago.
How about that? So there are your numbers. Don Maynard,
Jerry Kuzman, Pedro Martinez, Johan Santana, Damien Woody and Gil
Hodges slash Neil O'donnald slash Richard Todd. Those are your
megad who looks uncannily uh like Roger Waters. He does
(34:14):
a little bit stay on the con action, so TJ.
Hopefully these mega millions numbers will shine on someone like
a crazy diamond after they look and see what the
numbers they have. Frostberg ran out like he did when
the Dodgers won that one time. So I don't know
what happened. It's a final, so Mike had swollen dome.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Happy Friday night. Welcome
inside our to The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, where who says Friday is a slow newsday?
Another big trade happens goes down in Major League Baseball
two the Seattle Mariners, Yes, as they get Luis Castillo
(00:49):
from the Reds in exchange for four of their best prospects,
and not one of them is named Jared Kellnick, not one.
So they keep Jared Kenny for now. I mean you
never know, you know, they move up now, you never know. Uh.
And yes, they did give up four really good players,
three of the top five prospects in their system. But
(01:12):
this Luis Castillo, you got them for this year, you
have them in the future. Uh. Look, this is how
you do it, man, I mean, I don't know what
people want. Sometimes, Oh it's a lot to give up. Yeah,
but these are prospects. The three of these guys may
stink one of them maybe, Okay, that's why they're prospects.
Luis Castillo is a really good picture. You're trying to win.
(01:33):
You're not saving for a day that you may not
know if it ever comes. And that's the thing about
not trading prospects is because prospects are there for two reasons,
to make your team better when they break through, or
to be able to maneuver to get good players to
come in and make your team better where you can win.
Now right, you are in Major League Baseball. If you
(01:54):
are too reticent to trade your prospects, you are saving.
You're basically saving for a day that you know is
not gonna come. Right. It's like I'm saying, I'm saving
all my money, why because I'm gonna go buy a
computer at the end of the year. I'm saving all
my money from my paper route and everything else. I'm
saying I'm gonna buy a computer at the end of
the year. That's great, right, that's hey, you're saving money,
you're working hard, You're gonna and at the end of
(02:16):
the year, you have a tangible result. Not trading prospects
is like, I'm gonna save my money. What are you
gonna do at the end of the year. Well, I
don't know with it? Well, but what do you mean, Well,
I would want to buy a computer, but there's no
computers available, So what are you gonna do? I don't know?
All right, So you're saving money for something you know
might not happen. Why don't you go out and have
a good time once you go on vacation. Don't you
(02:37):
go buy a new bicycle. Why don't you go buy
a video game? But no, no, no, no, I'm gonna say,
because maybe someday that computer may be available. Yeah, but
what if it's not. But it might be, but but
it might not be, And then what are you gonna do? Well,
then I'll use it. This is what prospects are like.
It is a risk, It is a gamble. You don't
know that there's gonna be that magical day where these
four guys all arrive at the same time and suddenly, hey,
(03:00):
where the Yankees dynasty again? Because because you know, so
many fans look back and go, that's the Yankees? Did
they at Jeter and Pettitt and and Rivera and Williams
and all come up with there. Yeah, it's one time
in history. Man. Okay, look, I know there's gonna be
critics of this trade, but Luis Castie was a really
good picture. Your team is good right now, all right?
The teams that are above you, they're not unbeatable. They
(03:22):
just watched the Yankees have some problems. The Astros are
really really good. But you know, what are you gonna do?
They play in your division. We gotta be able to
compete with them, So let's go make this move. This
is why you have those prospects. And just because there
are three of the five best prospects in your system
doesn't mean they're great, right. I mean, you look at
there are the three of the five best prospects in
the Mariner system. Maybe you know, they don't have to
(03:43):
be in the top fifty all across major League Baseball.
You think, oh, the top three guys? Yeah, alright, depends
on how your farm system is rated and how good
these players are projected to be. And a couple of
them are projected to be pretty good. But again I
go back to my point of prospects. This I love
this trade. For Seattle, I love the guts, I love
everything about it. And and for the Mariners, this is
(04:04):
a day to celebrate. This is a day for the
fans to celebrate. This is a day. If you're a
National League team and you didn't you didn't get Luis Castillo,
at least you don't have to worry about your team
having to go against Luis Castillo. So for teams like
the Mets and the Dodgers, it's like Christmas for there too,
because I didn't get them, but I don't gotta play
against them, So I went there to Mike Harmon. Yeah,
I think the biggest thing to remember, and you know,
(04:25):
brought up the Yankees and the dynastic approach, and it
took a lot of veterans coming in over the top.
Remember the old evil Empire. They're gonna go get whoever
is available, uh, to help bolster that and make it
what it was. The Cubs all of a sudden, they're scouting, uh,
group and draft room got everything right for a period.
(04:48):
They got their one title and then they lost their
lovable loser tag. But it it didn't it wasn't sustainable, right.
Those guys had that one year everything came together, magical
everything Mad did that we second guest as it was
happening on air. He had a rabbit's rabbit's foot the
size of the rabbit out of the money python skit.
(05:11):
That's that's how well everything worked for him there, um so,
but waiting for it to happen, right, we're talking about
the Mariners and we're making a joke, but it's the reality.
They haven't been to the playoffs in a generation. It is.
All those guys are in the Hall of Fame and
have been for years. They were the Veteran Hall of
(05:33):
Fame guys coming back this year. I think, welcome in
Mike Hey, Hall of Famer Martin. Some of those guys
were actual Veterans Committee selections, like they've been out of
the game so long. That's it that the Veterans Committee vote.
All right. So so we're talking about all this time
and you have a chance, and it's gonna take a
(05:55):
lot based on the way the playoffs are set up,
but you know what, you have a punch chance and
bringing in a guy with a live arm to sit
atop your rotation in a playoff series. You've just now
tried to at least stack a little bit more in
the chip count in your favor for guys who may
(06:16):
never develop, may never have been in your plans, right
because now you've got people that might be impeding their
progress to get to the two Major League Baseball and
may not be on the whole because what are we doing.
We're rating stuff. We do this all the time. Alright.
Here were the top five guys that were projected to
be Heisman finalists. How they do They sucked and then
(06:36):
they became Day three draft picks or undrafted free agents. Again,
we we love them all. We we love the pursuits.
But the reality is, you know, you got first and
you got last and a lot of stuff in between.
For Seattle, right now, you're on on the precipice of
doing something you haven't done in twenty years. You've got
(06:58):
the people showing up and voting with their dollars to
come to your home games, buying merge of Rodriguez and
these other guys TV ratings locally or up. So you've
got all of these positive things. So you know what
you do. You push in a little bit more and
if it means that one of those prospects goes on
(07:18):
to become a stud somewhere else, So be it right,
I can speak to it just from my Chicago White
Sox fandom. You're always gonna be able to laugh about. Wow,
you traded James Shields and got him for Fernando Tatis. Right,
that's always gonna be out there. But in the moment,
in that time in space, it was you needed an arm.
(07:40):
You went and got the arm. And what happens thereafter,
Hey man, he might have needed the getting out of
the organization to maximize who he became. Right, different approach,
different philosophy, different coaches. I turned to our guy because
I had to look for looking up our guy, uh
Softie over at Cage A R And here's his tweet
(08:02):
from about fifteen minutes ago. Quote trade prospects for established players.
People are pissed. Don't trade prospects for established players. People
are pissed. Hot, Damn, I've missed you all back on
here in Monday. So you want to talk about you
know where you find your excitement and fan bases, look
(08:23):
for this right for you. The Mets. The greatest move
wasn't player personnel. It was a new owner coming in
with a different attitude for me as a as Chicago
fan everything but the Cubs. It's the for the Bulls
and for the White Sox. When is Ryansdorff going to
finally leave the organization to somebody else? And when can
(08:45):
they push forward from there till then? Yes, exactly, And
that's the problem. It never moves forward. Seven playoff appearances
in the forty one years uh since he took ownership
of the team for the White Sox. So even with
all those prospects, and they've had plenty through the years,
a couple of Hall of Famers passing through. So for
the Seattle Mariners, upset in the apple cart today, I'm
(09:09):
sure plenty of GMS raised their eyebrows and went, well,
wh I'll be damned, Look who came to the party, right,
because you you might have when we've whispered about them.
Maybe they make them, maybe they don't. But to go
out and get and land the big fish amongst the
pitching rumored, you know, would be trade prospects, it's a
(09:30):
pretty big deal. Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harman live from our studios
here tonight, where we are breaking down big news, breaking
news and Major League Baseball. The Castillo trade, and we
also have the night Aaron Judge one the American League
(09:50):
MVP uh to home runs tonight, including a Grand Slam
as the Yankees beat the Royals. And now for Aaron
jo forty one home runs eighty nine RB. I I
ask you, Mike Harmon, how many judgeons are we gonna
get out of these two home run calls by John Sterling.
We're gonna play right now. Let's see we'll get an
(10:13):
all rise. So we get two of those, one judge
in and then some random analogy, euphemism, whatever term you
want to use. All right, here's the first one, the
home run that gave him forty on the season. He
joined Babe Ruth and Roger Morris as the only Yankees
players in history to have forty or more home runs
(10:37):
by the end of July. That ball is high that
us fun have gone. A Judge and Black two run
home run comes the Judge Hens take a three nothing leading.
Well there he is getting them all in. Okay, judge in,
(11:00):
we got an all rise. Here comes to job. Maybe
he felt bad about mailing it in the other night
when Aaron Judge had home at number thirty nine. Alright,
so we got one judge and from John Sterling Yankees
Radio Network. Uh now home run number forty one, which
made him the first person in baseball history to have
nine multi home run games in a season before August one. Alright,
(11:23):
veil that is high, that is far, that has gone.
It's a grand judge and class all rise and phatically
we got the same thing twice with the emphascist on
the selavel. You know, do you do you think that
(11:44):
he said the same thing, because remember there's a couple
of times over the course of this year that Sterling
got caught watching a replay and remember when he announced
home runs because he wasn't at the games. Oh it's
another I'm sorry, we're just showing a replay at the
home run from earlier in the game. Do you think
maybe he was maybe let me just say the same
exact thing, justin cases is a replay of his home
run from earlier in the game. Could be could could
(12:08):
be the way he went um looking at the lists
all time of getting there before August one. To the
forty home run mark, he has now tied with Babe
Ruth who did it in n and Jimmy Fox Jimmy
who did it in nineteen thirty two forty one, also
(12:30):
from Louis Gonzalez. In two thousand one, Ken Griffey Jr.
In Sosa had forty two in McGuire forty five and
forty five for bonds in two thousand one. Twitter and

day in College Football Pac twelve had their media day

Big twelve. We could see an expanded playoff. Lincoln Riley
shows up and says, well, glad to be at my
first Pack twelve media day. Well, at least they'll be

Pete feu tech Pete, what's happening man? What's happening? Guys?
(14:25):
How you doing dominating? We got big, big, got big
college football stories tonight, we got big baseball story. We
got everything we need tonight and football student coming fast. Yes,
the baseball things cute, but like you're all right, that's
that's nice, But we know what we know what's coming here.
We don't know what's about to happen here. That's my
(14:48):
guy in Chicago talking with the Cubs and the White
Sox so I feel you paid. I understand here in
the I have YouTube TV. I haven't actually seen a
Cubs game in like two years. So as soon as
they switched it to Marquee, that's kind of coinside when
they started the stuck and so like IM just like
I don't need to watch that anymore. All right, it's
(15:08):
if then, you know, another John Wick showing is on somewhere.
That's all works now, dude, what would you rather watch
a Cubs game or the John Wick common fight scene.
I mean, come on, it's it's not even close outside
of the Game seven of the World Series John Wick,
I mean, yeah, it's baseball, like all right, all right,
so listen, let's get to all the big stuff today
from from media day. First things first, Uh, Lincoln Riley
(15:31):
trolling everybody when he shows up, it says, I'll be
here twice for the Fact twelve media. Hey. Yeah, and
then he's gonna be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. No,
I mean yeah, you know. I mean it's kind of
crazy how this whole thing works. But like media days
are always sort of boring to begin with, these are
a little more spicy than normal because Pact twelve is
(15:53):
an existential crisis here and really for the Pact twelve. I,
you know, not to get political here, but as other
people in certain places, they're saying, do something, George, Okay,
this is cute, but like where is your move? Like
enough of this? Like okay, we're waiting for this media
deal and waiting for the big tend to figure out
what it's gonna do with that, because no, no no, no, no,
(16:14):
come up with something to show people that the Pack
twelve is actually going to have something going forward. We
all know that they wanted to base everything out of
Las Vegas. Just just say you know what we're gonna
bring aboard U n l V. We all know that
they need to have some place in California south of
Palo Alto, So just do it already and just say okay,
(16:35):
we're just gonna do San Diego State already. Just just
make some moves, do something to kind of you know,
just to say, okay, way we're aligned to kicking here.
We've got stuff going on, because the problem at the
moment for them is that just we're all waiting. We
all know this is coming. If you if you want,
if you combine what's happening today or it could happen
today with the big ten media days. You just know
(16:55):
the sort of damocles is just holding over their head
from Kevin wore As being like, when we really decide,
you know it's worth our time and effort, we'll just
you know, when we want to Oregon in Washington and
Arizona will just kind of go get them. And I
don't know, we'll figure out when we get a little bored,
we'll just go take whoever else we want to go get. Like,
it's such a difference in how these conference media days
(17:16):
are rolling right now. Well, it's just funny, right because
you have the cavalier attitude of haven't decided if we're
going shopping here. Meanwhile us on the outside of going,
are you gonna survive or are you fracturing and being
absorbed elsewhere? It's truly a nice dichotomy. Yeah, and it's
here's the weird thing that makes big twelve people all
sort of are all kinds of mad. But the harsh
(17:38):
reality here is if you look at how these these programs,
the schools match up in terms of market size, in
terms of fit, in terms of yeah, okay, academically, you know,
some of these big twelve schools are pretty solid and
all that, but they don't really fit into the past
twelve model. That's I mean, like at least the current one.
Of course they've love to you know, Houston work in
(18:00):
certain ways, and certainly a Cincinnati for the market size,
but like I PAC twelve, you know, you can't. I
think at Iowa State does that do it for you know,
you know, Oklahoma State, Sure, that's kind of a big program.
But Kansas is the one. I think we've talked about
this before. I know they stink at football, but you know,
in terms of just being University of Kansas and having
(18:21):
all the positives that they have there, you know, that's
the one that makes sense. But like there really is
nothing there that's the Big twelve or the PAC twelvethy
just say yeah, we're just gonna go get these Pack twelve. Meanwhile,
on the other side, if you're the Big twelve and
you can go say get Utah, I mean the University
of Utah or maybe the University of Arizona, I think
(18:42):
that's a little overplayed. I'm not so sold that the
PAC twelve schools are going to go over to the
Big twelve. I think that they're all kind of waying
to see if they get asked to the dance by
the Big Ken before they would do the Big the
Big twelve. But I don't think the Big the Big
twelves feeling it right now. And just wait. I think
the Pactrol is gonna be fine. Remember last year and
(19:02):
around this time, all the Big twelve of dead. They're gonna,
you know, maybe they might be Conference USA or something
like this, and you know the Sun Belt was trolling
thing to take your team turn up to be okay.
And I think the Pactrol is going to figure this out.
But they've gotta do something pretty quick here. Well that's
the thing, Pete, is that I've said that this is
going to be the future of college football. The Big
(19:24):
ten is going to expand and they're going to get
to the Big twenty. They'll rebrand, They'll get Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon,
whatever it winds up being. The SEC will eventually get Miami,
Florida State and Clemson. So you have the two conferences
that have all the best teams. And the best way
for the Pac twelve to survive is for the Pac
twelve and the Big twelve and the a SEC to say, okay,
(19:45):
let's kind of do our best informed two conferences that
are one level below like to be super conferences. And
that's kind of how I see this thing playing. I
don't know if the PAC twelve can do it by themselves,
but could they have like a B level super conference
if they t them up with the Big twelve? And
you know, like I said, half those teams go, you know,
with the A C C. The other half go with
(20:05):
the with the Pack twelve. Yeah, I can see that happening. Yeah,
but what good? But who wins? Like what the The
only point of doing that is to say, hey, we'll
try to not to steal each other's schools, you know,
like the Big ten A CEC and PAC twelve alliance,
which you know certainly did not work out so hot,
you know. I here's the thing to remember. First of all,
(20:26):
if the if the Big ten has twenty teams and
the SEC has twenty schools, it doesn't really matter, you know,
at the end of the day, you know, as long
as you're I know, we all like the idea of
when he conferences and that's sort of a big deal
who we grew up with. And you don't want this
to be too just to sanitized like the NFL is
and you know, just say okay, let's get to the
(20:46):
playoff already, and you don't want to put a playoff
that's gonna be like the n c A Tournament, which
is going to mean everything because now college basketball really
you don't have to watch college basketball until about maybe
February twenty fourth issue or so, and then you don't
want that. So at the end of the day, the
other thing is kind of coming out of this is
kind of being underplayed, is the idea that every whatever reason,
(21:10):
every conference commissioner saying, yeah, let's expand the college football playoffs,
and it's not happening yet. So the one thing that
can happen out of all this is if they could
come to an agreement and say, you know what, we're
gonna take this up to twelve or even six team
and say we're gonna whatever configuration these conferences are in,
like whatever the Pack twelve looks like, whatever the Big
(21:31):
twelve looks like the a SEC, We're gonna say whatever
the traditional power of five conferences are, you each get
your champion in and then we'll go from there. Because
you do that, then okay, the Big then and the
and the sorry about that named the SEC. Uh, what
do you get there? Three or four teams in. You
could still get your Pack twelve champion in, and you
can still have an expanded college football playoffs and make
(21:53):
your regular season count. There's lots of reasons they can
do this. And at the end of the day, it's
gonna be fine. You know. It's there's been so many
changes in college football and college athletics over the last
you know, hundred and fifty years, and it just keeps
on roll and they'll figure this out. But most importantly,
as we get through this week of bluster and big
(22:15):
arrivals and and talk who won media Days, I would
say I would say, I know the easy answers the
Big twelve because again they are they're walking in, you know,
they're strutting. I mean, they think that they could just
go get anybody. Hey, we're alive and kicking. Now. I
think it's the Big Ten because everyone's reacting to them.
(22:37):
I mean there there wasn't really swagger on the Big
Ten media days. It was really kind of more about like, look,
we're the biggest, baddest business of the bunch. And the
SEC even had to kind of acknowledge it, and it's
kind of what we all know. Obviously, the SEC is
the best football conference. We all know that they all
gonna make a lot of money, but business wise, nobody
touches what the Big Ten does. And you can kind
(23:00):
to see it in their promos now Big Ten Network,
where they're kind of they're kind of thumping up the
fact that you you guard going from sea to Shining Sea.
You're going from you know, Rutgers on one coast all
the way to USC and the other and everything in
the middle here, and that matters. They they're just the
biggest conference with the best schools and the you know,
the biggest markets and the best branding and just the
(23:23):
whole thing. And you know, I know, if you tell
someone that in you know, Tuscagloose, Alabama, they'll certainly have
a different opinion of that. But the mirror, the fact
of the matter is Big Tens just the biggest, baddest
conference of the bunch. And they acted like at this
media Dave, you can fomb on Twitter at Pete Futach,
that is at Pete Futach the website College football news
(23:45):
dot com right now up on the front page the
all Big twelve Football team season Preview Top thirty players.
He's got it all and and trust me featured there
the percentage chance Shawn Tucker wins the Heisman Trophy. Pete,
what do you have for Shawn Tucker? If it's not
a lot as good as they're right? Thank you, Pete
(24:11):
again College Football News dot Com. Pete, welcome, and we'll
talk to you next week as we get rolling one
great stuff that few tech Look. I I can't see
the PAC twelve surviving. I just can't. I can't see
them surviving by themselves. And now they're the PAC ten right,
they're gonna we'll go back to be in the past.
We still got those T shirts and and uh and
(24:32):
computer mouse is mouse pads that say PAC ten. Right.
I can't, I can't see. I can't see any conference
surviving by itself. The PAC twelve won't survive by itself.
Neither will the Big twelve. Neither will the a c C. Right,
the a c C has got the best chance because
they have Clemson, Miami and Florida State. But eventually they're
gonna leave. I'm the a c C. I'm the one
(24:54):
pulling the power play right now, saying all right, we
got these teams. Now if you want to come here
and we can maybe maybe have the number three Super Conference,
and there will technically be three because right now you
want to push the popularity and the heritage of those
three schools. You get those three schools and you start
adding some good teams. You know, you can add Oregon
(25:16):
or Washington and and and Okay, maybe then you have
something and you can be there with the big boys.
But that's what has to happen right now. You have
to you have to lock down Miami, Clemson and Florida
stay and say, okay, how do we do this, or
we're just gonna be sitting around going, hey, we're gonna
have the B Conference playoffs. We'll have to be Hey,
the first round of the playoffs is Syracuse and Pittsburgh. Great,
(25:36):
that's gonna be fantastic. You need to do something pretty
good because you're not surviving right now the way it is. Yeah,
we always talk about first mover advantage, and obviously that's
long gone. Right Big ten came in and power bombed everybody.
Now it's the question of how do you react and
how do you gather to where you maintain your relevance,
and you have your eyes on as big a pile
(25:59):
of the cash from media properties and the viability of
your conference at whatever it becomes that you can and
to your point, and that means, all right, here's the
biggest football legacy schools, and let's look at the basketball
schools and see where they're feeling, you know, which way
the winds blowing there, and then build from there and
(26:23):
round it out with either academic powerhouses or folks that
are just geographical, geographically desirable, because that's really where we're
at in all of this, right, you want to find
as big a marketplace as you can, whether it's Oregon
because of the deep pockets uh and the Nike money UH.
And obviously we we've watched and it'll be curious to
(26:45):
see how it plays out when it gets into the
legal lease of it all, Jason, Both in Oregon and Washington,
you know, some preemptive moves at least in the legislature
to say, all right, Oregon and Oregon State have to
be paired together, Washington and Washington State have to be
paid are paired together. Whether they can do that legally
uh and make that stick, or if that's just a
(27:07):
little bit of all right, let's let's try to play
kate folks in the short term. I'm not sure, but again,
have those conversations and try to be next to the
marketplace because after the next round it starts getting pretty ugly.

run night, including a grand slam. Luisca Stillo is now
the next big prize off the table as the player
(28:13):
we've talked about the most outside of Wan Soto. Uh
just got dealt to the Mariners in exchange for four prospects,
including three of their top five. Great move for the Mariners.
I don't get people who don't like it. But you
want to talk about great moves, Mike Carbon, we have
something very special for you right now, extremely special. Uh.
(28:35):
The Mega Millions numbers are out one point to eight
billion dollars at stake. It is the second largest lottery
prize ever according to the New York Times. So I
assumed the number one lottery prize of all time, Patrick Ewing,
and then this one point eight billion, well over the
(28:57):
lifetime of his career, the money he may in, the
money he generated to about the garden, the money he
generated at the garden, my Carbon, that's where I'm not
his paltry multimillion dollar salary, but that takes a lot
of money, and he spends a lot of money. One
of the greatest contributions ever made by an athlete to
(29:20):
our collective industry. So the one point to now, I
don't know if anybody's one yet that we haven't heard,
but this is the money that's at one point to
eight billion right now. My dad is on vacation, going crap.
I forgot to play, son of I'm meant to go
get that diet and get tickets so well, because he's
one of my dad's one of those guys who goes, Dad,
you're gonna play lottery? Well, what's it at forty million?

a hundred million? Like that's my dad. Like he's that guy.
Uh So, here are your numbers. We're gonna give them
to you. Is only because we are sports right, we're
Fox Sports Radio. We will give you the numbers as
only we can. Here. Uh, ball number one, look it
(30:06):
out there, Come on, I got a lot riding on this.
Don Maynard. Don Maynard is ball number one. If only
it was instead of numbers the heads of random football.
Who the hell is that? That's dinner? He's a Hall
(30:27):
of Famer. What number did he wear? I don't give
a crap about that. Uh. Don Maynard is your first number.
Second number. Let's get back in. I feel like there's
like people are falling inside at the beginning of that sum,
you know, getting into getting into the tumbler to help
(30:48):
things along. Second number, Jerry Kuzmin. Jerry Kuzmin is your
second number. Half of the Tom and Jerry Show, Tom Seaver,
Jerry Kuzmin t too with the greatest Mets half of
the Nolan Ryan rookie card. That's Right's right, Who's had
a little bit of difficulty later on in his career.
But Jerry Kuzmin, White Sox and Jerry Kuzman, you did
(31:12):
you know? You did that a lot after we had
good players for a while, the White Sox said, Dad
for a year? Why not you did that? I mean
Tom Severs, the White Sox all the favor a member
of the White Sox. Kid graff, Are you kidding me?
That's about as great as it gets. Uh? Next number,
let's go Pedro Martinez super. He has grabbed that ball
(31:48):
both sides and throw it to the ground. That is
Pedro Martinez as your third number, the number or Zimmer,
depending on which to analyze that one. Don Maynard, Jerry Kuzmin,
Pedro Martinez ball number four. Fluck that out. Ah. He
(32:16):
pitched a no hitter and it may have ended his career.
Johan Santana's happy. What do you think? This is all
medicine checks? What do you think has happening? My arms
falling off? What do you right now? People are going
googling Jerry Kuzman, What the hell number? Who the hell

is that? Google image? Google image? Jerry? Who or what
is the Kuzman? No it is not Cush slash cush.

Hopefully these mega millions numbers will shine on someone like
a crazy diamond after they look and see what the
numbers they have. Frostberg ran out like he did when
the Dodgers won that one time. So I don't know
what happened. It's a final, so Mike had swollen dome.
