Speaker 1 (00:04):
So we were talking about MLB.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We can still talk a little MLB as we're at
the I guess we would say midpoint. It's a lot
of games for midpoint. I'm just saying, this is a
lot of games. I can't imagine doing like a pregame
show for a baseball team.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
God blessed those guys.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm just saying, you know, God, God blessed those guys,
because that's gonna be a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So in the American League, and you did half of
that last year for the Spurs alone. Imagine that times too.
And Alma span of like six.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Months, I would not have a social life. Oh wait,
I don't so again. In the American League, the Chicago
White Sox round the bottom at thirty and fifty nine.
They need the post help, you know, they need the
popes helps because the pope.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You know from Chicago, he's a Sox fan.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
He was there when they played there's a photo of
him where he was there in the crowd when they
played the Astros.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I think that was the last time the White Sox
won the World Series, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That was it? Yeah? And ironically the Cubs, the team
that he done.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He didn't grow up room for there first.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And please don't hate me for saying this, but the
homeless Athletics are sitting there at thirty seven and fifty four.
Sacramento Athletes, the Sacramento Athletics soon to be Las Vegas Athletics, which,
by the way, they broke round on.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The stadium in Las Vegas. Yeah, but it's gonna cost.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Some more money to break through, and then like another
like half million or something like that they have to
put into that project.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I don't know, you imagine just getting the loans out
for that. I'm just, you know, weird.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Have you seen the staium they play in now the
minor league stay and they play in in Sacramento. Yeah, no,
it's not gonna lie. Have you You've been to a
Chocolates game, right, a Flying Chocolate's game. Yes, it's kind
of like that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But the San Antonio missions for those of us playing
at home. Yeah, but there's more. There's a few more
people on the outfit. I guess they're on the stands.
After that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You got the Baltimore Orioles. Yes, that is my team.
And so again they're sitting at thirty nine and forty nine, which,
by the way, they were in the playoffs last year.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
They were fun to watch. I don't know what's going
on with my Oh's.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Fun fact, Shane, I used to be a bat boy
for them really long time ago, Cal Ripken days. I
remember you told me you lived in Virginia for a
little bit. I lived, Yeah, Maryland, Frederick, Maryland. Sorry it's
kissing Virginia. I mean. So we would go to Baltimore
all the time, Frederick Keyes, their Triple A affiliate, Frederick Keys.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
So who is your player growing up from there that
you really like?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Cal Ripken Jr. Rip Yep, Cal rip fans love cal
cal Ripkins Senior. Who you know? He was a coach
for them for a while. And then of course you
had the brother Billy Ripkin as well. So I was
there for the Ripken days, the Eddie Murphy days. Uh Nope,
not the actor. So I used to go there all
(02:33):
the time. Loved him. Tie is Cleveland Guardians, which, by
the way, during the break, Ty told us that he
almost got kicked out of a Cleveland Guardians game for
teasing all touve and his height. Come on, man, he's
why you got to knock a man down when he's down,
He's already like five point two. You should have told
him to stand up. I'm sure he did.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It's amazing a guy's five to six that could be
that great of a player though.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Kansas City Royals there forty two and forty eight, Minnesota
Twins forty three and forty six, the Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim two games below, five hundred and forty three
and forty five. Texas Rangers. For those of you who
are Ranger fans who are going out, they're stayed alive.
Midway forty four and forty five. You got the Boston
Red Sox sitting at five hundred. I don't know what
(03:19):
we're gonna do with the Celtics are gone. And now
the Boston Red Sox's gone, Tommy's gone.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
We don't even know what's gonna happen with the Green Monster.
We don't know. And then he got.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The surprise team, Seattle Mariners forty seven and forty two.
They're making the aos interesting. Okay, they're pretty good because
the athletics aren't helping.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know what's hurting the Rangers. Going back to the
number second, huh, they have two pitchers still on the
aisle and one just came back, so they're bullpen is shot.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, well, you know, sometimes it's not about pitching, it's
about hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is that something that they would say? Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And then you have the other homeless team in the
on the East coast, the Tampa bay Rays, who were
playing in the Yankees spring training facility.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Now I saw that that that's gotta suck. That does suck,
not only to have to accept like charity from from
from a division rival, but to play at the Springley
not even not even a minor league, say now the
Springley Stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Maybe maybe it's a quineting that you know, they have
a bay Rays are playing there fine in the Yankees
facility and the Yankees sit right above them.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yes they do.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But here's the thing. They're both forty eight and forty one.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, and I don't think if I had to guess,
because I mean, for when you're not that high the
Yankees to begin with, I don't think you consider them
a serious contender this year like they were.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Last You never they've lost six in a row. They
have lost six and I love that they are all
they're keep dropping. They are more bats. Then they don't
have a lot of a lot of pigeons. Yeah, whatever
with their scientific bats or whatever they have that's helping
the torpedo bats, it's not it.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I like those. I don't like them. Why not? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I don't like change.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Somebody tell my ex wife that I'm actually doing a
show right now.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know. She texting you, Yeah, I love it? Uh,
why she's the next?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I guess Toronto Blue Jays fifty one and thirty eight.
That's my surprise. I'm surprised with the Toronto Blue Jays.
I mean, Springer's going nuts, but Toronto Blue Jay's sitting
there at fifty one and thirty eight. The Houston Astros,
second in the American League, get fifty four and thirty five,
and your surprise, Detroit Tigers fifty six and thirty four.
(05:21):
So that's the American League. We'll see what happens with that.
Of course, the Houston Astros sitting there in second place hopefully,
and I know we got a lot of Astros fans
here that they keep driving and they keep doing what
they can. But again, the surprise to me is the
Toronto Blue Jays, which, by the way, I just need.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
To get a hat of theirs.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I need to get a hat, a Toronto blue Jay's hat.
So first hour down, one hour to go. Coming up
in the second hour. Some more NBA, some NFL and
some of the worst fan bases in the NFL. That's
all next on the Fanatics on Ticket seven sixty
