Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, here's what we got. We're in Tacoma for
the game tonight. Bucky's gonna come down here and do
the game on the AM. Signals that right, Jackson with
Riley pay tonight at seven o'clock over on nine to
fifty AM.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So Bucky will hop on with us and talk some baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mina Kimes is going to make her final visit of
the draft season, if you will coming up at four
o'clock this afternoon. We'll do a little fun with audio.
We'll have some textimonials at four nine, four to five one.
But because we're starting to get into the heat of
the spring and summer, we're bringing back our Friday Afternoon bracket.
And I think we got a good one today, Right,
We got a good topic for today, and people need
(00:38):
to realize that the wording of these things is important, right, Yeah,
how we word these is important. So we thought, in
honor of the Blue Jays coming to town this weekend,
we would put together a bracket with the fan bases
that the three of us Softy Dick Jackson hate the most,
not the fan bases that the fans and the listeners
(00:59):
for ample hate the most. But the fan base is
that the three of us can't stand the most and
we we can't even make it until showtime without having
a mistake in the bracket. Well one that I think
is a mistake in the bracket, right, I think there's
a mistake in the bracket too. Well, here's what here's
here's what we got. We have nine teams right now,
(01:19):
in nine fan bases right now to choose from, because
we have a play in vote happening right now at
the KJR Twitter account at ninety three to three kjar
between the Cowboys and Yankees for the eight seed. All right,
the winner of that will face the forty nine ers
as a one seed. We got the Cougars and Gonzaga
going head to head. We got Boston and Toronto going
(01:41):
head to head, and we got the Oregon Ducks versus
the Portland Timbers going ahead to head. So the vote
as of right now for the eight seed Yankees are crushing.
They are just blowing the Cowboys out of the water
seventy thirty percent right now. So we'll see where that
goes when it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But the first reaction to that vote, by the way.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
From William Kapparac, Bill Kay on Twitter, no Thunder, and
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Damn it, how did we miss the Thunder?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And then we had a conversation off the air, which
actually kind of surprised me that the two of you
don't have a big issue with the Oklahoma City fan
base as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think, yeah, I mean, we hate Oklahoma City, we
hate everything that's associated with the name Oklahoma City Thunder
headed by their ownership group.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But when you're.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Talking about the fan bases, I haven't seen. I've seen
a little bit when we make fun of the Thunder online.
I think a vast majority of the Oklahoma City Thunder
fan base realized they were gifted something that they didn't deserve,
and they pretty much stay out of it when it
comes to battling with Sonic fans.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
So I haven't seen that at all.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I don't dislike shake Gilgess Alexander, I don't dislike chet Holmgren.
I don't dislike the players. I dislike the fact they're
wearing that jersey. So I will never root for that
basketball team. But you said yourself, you have a look
at what this poll is about, and it's fan bases, right.
That's softy Dick and Jackson hate the most, and Jackson,
I just don't hate that fan base.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So I am.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am out voted then two to one, which is
why the Thunder did not appear in the bracket. If
I were doing this bracket by myself, I would one
hundred percent put the Thunder fan base in there.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
What did the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Thunder fan base do to piss you off? They're Thunder
fans and they root for my team. They took my
basketball team, they take they take enjoyment out.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Of my basketball team. All right, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They are going to bed smiling and laughing and having
a gay old time with what is supposed to be
mine and now it's theirs.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Let me explain this to you like it's in fourth
grade bitterness.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Everything associated with the Oklahoma City Thunder, from the fans
to the name, to the arena, to the owner, to
their players, to the broadcasters. I want all of it
to burn to the ground. Everything you have, the same
everything you have the same level of pettiness for every
single thing you just mentioned. When everything I want, I
(04:07):
want the fans to come to the game and find
a wet spot on the pavement and slip and.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Smack their heads.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's what I want, Like, I cannot stand anything involved
with Oklahoma City. Now, look, I'm just speaking for myself.
I'm not speaking for you guys. But oh, the fans
had nothing to do with it. Of course, they had
nothing to do with it. Neither did we. We had
nothing to do with it either. Our team was robbed
from us. They were taken from us, and they're in
Oklahoma City and they are enjoying what we.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Are supposed to be enjoying.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We are the ones that were supposed to watch Kevin Durant,
Russell Westbrook and James Harden. We are the ones that
are supposed to be watching SGA and Chet Holmgren and
Sam Presty work his magic. So maybe, just at a
pure jealousy, it pisses me off what that fan base
gets to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And so when Wesley Yates, you know, leads the Huskies
to the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
At Quincy Pondexter's nephew who's now back by the way.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And you are, you know, you are a huge Wesley
Yates fan, and he becomes the biggest Husky star since.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Isaiah tom And then he goes to Okay and is and.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Then out of based upon something he had no control over.
He is drafted in the bottom of the first round
by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He should burn in Hell,
I didn't say burn and hell, I just said burn.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But okay, so he should burn.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I would say screw screw him as long as he
plays for Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
See, I want to see that happen. Yeah, I want
to see that scenario playoff.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Dick Here's the thing, and this is where you and
I just differ massively because you have a bad habit
of not leaving room for emotion in some of these arguments.
You live in dick Land. Why is it a bad habit?
Because it's annoying. It's just annoying.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's annoying.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I just told you.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That I don't know that I don't have an emotion.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I yes, I think.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I think part of being a fan and the emotions
of being a fan is that you can look at
anything from a different context, from a different lens, through
a different lens. You're asking me how I would act
if a Husky basketball player. Let's say it's a Husky
great like the better for example, I would think, and
I don't know this to be a fact, because it
(06:05):
doesn't happened yet, right, like when Brandon Roy went to Portland,
I rooted for Brandon Roy, but.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I rooted for the Blazers to fail.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So what likely would happen if this ridiculous scenario that
you're painting actually ever does become reality, which I guess
is not so ridiculous. One day an ex Husky is
going to get drafted by the Thunder. Right, that's going
to happen. I just hope the song has come back
first before it happens. But one day an ex Husky
will get drafted by the Thunder. So you're asking me
how I would feel about that? You know what I
would say to you? Ask me then how i'd feel
(06:36):
about it? I don't know, But Dick, we're not talking
about something that's happening in five years from now. Right now,
I can't stand the Thunder fan base and I can't
stand the Thunder. What likely would happen, if you want
to get serious with this, is that if the Thunder
ever did draft the Husky basketball player, I probably root
for that guy, but for the team to fall on
their ass, that's probably what I would do.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I mean, how many times have we done that in
our lives?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Fans.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Where somebody goes to play for a rival, you're like, hey,
I hope he does well, but I hope they lose
every damn game they play. I mean, I had no
intention of rooting for anybody wearing an Oklahoma City Thunder
uniform as long as I live. And when I go
on social media, and maybe I spend too much time
on social media, and I make fun of the Thunder
(07:21):
and I rub it in their fat face after they
lost Game one against the Denver Nuggets, and the first
thing I hear is some he'll build a redneck freak
getting on my case about it. I can't believe that
your losers haven't let go of your hate for Oklahoma
City so far, FM F every single one of them twice.
So Yes, in my bracket, Jackson, I would put the
Thunder on my bracket.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I think that's very fair, and I wouldn't blame anybody
for wanting them. It's just I think I think it
really does come down to the three of us and
building out a bracket that we can all agree on.
And for Dick and I I just I hate their organization.
I would even say, Dick, I differ from you. I
hate the players because specifically the players wear those colors,
and it's honestly like their free agent decisions, and I
(08:02):
don't know, like it's part of it. To be on
that team is partially a choice, so it's partially the
player's choice. It's completely irrational, but that's where emotion comes.
But but the fans had nothing to do with it.
They're living in Oklahoma City, they're rooting. They want to
be sports fans. It's the literal only thing that city has,
(08:23):
so by default they have to be Oklahoma City thunder fans.
So I just don't hate the fan base like I
hate the entire team.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You guys can have whatever take you want, right, I mean,
there's no right or wrong answer here, obviously if you
don't like it. And again, as Dick accurately pointed out,
this is the bracket that says the fan bases that
we hate the most. And there's only three of us.
If there were one hundred of us, maybe Oklahoma City
would be there. I would put them in and probably
would take them off, maybe over Boston. To be totally
honest with you, but I'm I'm up for having that conversation.
(08:50):
But yes, to answer the question, do I find myself
annoyed as hell by Oklahoma City thunder fans. Yes, because
they did not put in the work to enjoy what
they enjoyed, especially when Harden and Durant and Westbrook were
there from the jump. Now, they did not put the
work in, and that pisses me off. And you say
(09:12):
that the most most thunder fans that you hear from
are cordial and whatever, maybe it's just me. I'm sure
it is just me, because I don't get that kind
of reaction from them at all. So I hope everything
Thunder related burns and falls flat on its freakin' ass.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'm just not a big hate by association.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If there's something, Yeah, you want to hate Clayton Bennett,
there is a big time reason to hate Clayton Benner.
You want to hate everything that it went down in
two thousand and eight, there's everything, there's every reason too,
But just to hate by association, I just I can't
do that. I mean, I don't have many petty things
in my life. Oklahoma City is definitely one of them,
and I will hold onto that, you know, at least
(09:50):
until the Sonics come back, if not the rest of
my life. But I don't know about to hate something
or someone that has absolutely nothing to do with the
situation but their own choosing.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
It's tough for me to do.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, not me, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, if I'm if the Thunder do win it
this year, and there's a chance that might happen, worse,
really good chance that might happen. I would just be
curious to get your reaction if we were to get together,
the three of us and sit in the sports pit
and flip on the parade going through downtown Oklahoma City
and watch their fat faces fill with joy is they
party and celebrate an NBA championship and Ilari O'Brien trophy,
(10:27):
And I wonder if you'll feel differently. I mean again,
I just uh, there's there there is no spot in
my heart for forgiveness or acceptance for anything involving the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Nothing. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, I'm I'm curious if the fans of four
nine four or five to one side with you, guys
Jackson and Dick, or maybe they signed more with Mediacks.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I mean, it's a good question. I think I'm the
other big one that people obviously throwing in. Okay, see
the other one that a lot of people are saying
of the Astros and next card a sort of similar
thing where like you know what for me, like you know,
you just hearing and watching Astro fans, I think that
a lot of them understand that we cheated to get
a title. Their trolls and they say like ha ha ha,
(11:09):
Like Matt Thomas, right, he's very trollish when he comes on.
But I think just reading between the lines, when Mac
comes on, he's it's with a smile, it's knowing, yeah,
we kind of got that one. So I think there's
that understanding that that for I would respond to people
who want the Astros in there.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, but they get it.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
They the fans understand and they just want to troll
the troll But like, I don't know, I hate fan
bases that invade our stadium a lot more than I
hate trolls.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, and I get that because you don't see as
many Astro fans as Red Sox fans. For sure, there's
no question about that Astros the the Red Sox have
a much bigger bandwagon than the Houston Astro. Yes, but
I want to I'm actually just for giggles, I'm gonna
text Matt right now, and I want to ask him
if you would agree with this statement, most Astro fans
(11:52):
understand that they cheated to get the championships.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is that The question is.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, that's exactly right. If and honestly, if Thomas says no.
If Thomas says that no, our fans fully think we
deserve that and we want it rightly, then I might
I'd be willing to say nope, never mind.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm gonna predict that he'll say that's not true,
and I may be wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm gonna predict.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right if it was. I don't know if you would
admit it.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I mean I see a lot more as clown Astro
fans on Twitter than I do Oklahoma City thunder fans.
Way more like when the when the Mariners play the Astros,
it is nasty on social media, and which is cool.
I mean, I think that's great. But the Astro fans
are living on an era where they had to cheat
to win, and I think they there's a little bit
(12:39):
of guilt for that. So I think they almost are emboldened.
And and you you know, when you do something and
you what happens when you do something wrong? You wrong somebody,
and then by defending that you get extra angry about it.
I actually think that they're extra angry about it, so
they like lash out because they know they're guilty.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, yeah, well we'll see what he says when he
writes back. I'm just trying to think about, like how
you would even kind of figure this out for yourself,
because again, this is about what all three of us
feel here. Yeah, when you go to a T Mobile
park and you see Red Sox fans everywhere, and you
see Blue Jay fans everywhere, when you go to loom
(13:18):
And Field and you see forty nine er fans all
over the place. I mean, I don't know how the
average fan would judge your rate what fan base they
can't stand the most. Is it by personal experience, like
actually in person, you know, at the game, game day experiences,
and somebody else's stadium or arena, the way you've been treated,
for example when you go to somebody else's spot, Or
(13:41):
is it kind of the level of you know, smack
talk and the level of troll jobs that you see
on social media. So I don't know, Jackson, how you
would judge it, But for me, I mean I would
judge it those two ways and maybe take it fifty
to fifty from each category.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
One Probably the biggest criteria for me is is kind
of that first point you mentioned it in person experiences
and like when I go to my home stadium, I
and and partially on this is our own fans for
not buying up the tickets. But like full disclosure, when
we first started talking about this this morning at eight am,
the first list of teams that I sent included the
(14:15):
Green Bay Packers because I hate more than maybe more
than anything, other fan bases that come in and make
our city and make our stadiums look like an away stadium.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But at the point, you can't blame that they just
bought tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I know they didn't do it right. To me, I
have what I have a problem, and.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You still know that.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
It's it's irrational and it's emotional exactly, but that's what
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That it makes no sense. That's where I come from.
On the thunder fans.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Okay, it's freaking annoying. It doesn't hell with them. They
don't get to have that that's mine. I get put
it away, I touch.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
I hate that our fans aren't buying the tickets that
Packer fans bought last year. But at the same time,
I hate Packer fans for showing up in droves and
making it look like lambeau Field out there.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
But if they have, they're legit Packer fans for life.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I got no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
What bothers me is in two thousand and five, six
and basically since then is Joe and Julie from Kent
with their veritec jerseys, who never watched a Red Sox
game prior to two thousand and four in their life,
and now they're.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Runing against their home.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Team with this adopted BS that they just jumped on
the wagon twelve months.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That is, that's why the Red Sox. You can't prove
which one there are, but you better well know.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That there are many, many of them out there. Well,
I mean, I don't know. I assume that you're right.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But again this is my point about the uh, the
irrational behavior of being a fan that you don't have
any idea how many of those people jumped on the wag, right, but.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It pisses you off, which it should.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
They didn't tell the games in two thousand and three,
So why are they there in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'll tell you why, because they came back from three hut,
they won the World Series, and they jumped on the wagon.
That's exactly why I mean, Dick. The better a team performs,
the more fans they get for crying out loud. So
you see now you're starting to come over. You are
subconsciously coming over to my side. And that the hell
with logic and reasoning. Half these people half the right.
(16:20):
That's the way this is supposed to go. All right,
We're gonna break a lot more to get to on
a busy Friday from Jandy Stadium right here on ninety
three to three kjrfmen on testing.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Live from the R and R Foundation specialist broad Jass Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick, powered by Emerald Queen Casino,
the Vetting and capital of the Northwest on Sports Radio
nineties three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Al right back here at Tacoba Jendy Stadium, the show
rolls on baby until seven o'clock tonight right here on
ninety three to three KJRFM. Uh Mariners back at it
tonight against one of the fan bases that made our
most hated fan base bracket theron of Blue Jays. Although
I don't know what the crowd's gonna look like for
this weekend. Where are the numbers here? And I talked
(17:06):
about this a couple of days ago. So last year
they had and it was in July.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
By the while, while you're looking at up got it,
I just love the fact that it's in early May,
because that's gonna cut things down significantly because you don't
have kids out of school.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well, July one, Friday night thirty four four nine three,
Saturday thirty eight two six four.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sunday was three four eight eight five.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I mean, look, obviously we'll see about what the
numbers look like over the weekend Mother's Days on Sunday.
But we're talking about we're not talking about necessarily how
many people will be in the stands this weekend. What
we're asking is how many of them will be Blue
Jay fans, right, Like, that's the point. I mean, they
might have forty thousand people a little bit of ninety
percent or Maritter fans, then great, that's fine, that's the
way it should be. So these games typically the last
(17:51):
few years, if not even longer than that, this kind
of feels like this has been a thing for about
a decade now, if not longer.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's been a Blue Jay freaking home game. It's been.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's been seventy five, twenty five, seventy thirty Toronto fans.
But here's the point that Larry brought up on the
show the other day, is that with the American disdain
right now coming from Canada, a lot of Canadians aren't
traveling as much to the States.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
It is May, as you said, not July. The borders
kind of a circus right now.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
People are nervous about getting even back in or getting across.
Like I was talking to, you know, the guy that
runs the Silver Cloud Hotel, and their numbers are way
down with Canadians coming into town this year.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I mean, some Canadians just aren't traveling to the States anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm wondering how much is it the geopolitical environment versus
just the time of year. I mean, this is almost
always in July when the Blue Jays come in and where.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You don't know that Canadians are pissed at Americans, right,
I do, But.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I just don't know how much that's gonna If you
were going if you planned a trip to watch the
Blue Jays and the Amrigs, which most people probably planned
three four months ago, right before most of this stuff happened, Like,
are you really gonna cancel because of that?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Maybe? I don't know. People do weird things when it
comes to politics.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, you know that, right.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I mean, if you don't think the Canadians are upset
with America and they're they're taking out their frustration with
their travel dollars, then I mean that's bit's been.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I mean, look at the border towns. For God's sake.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
The paper did a big story on this like a
week ago. The border towns are struggling right now. So
I don't know what the reason is for it. And Frankly, Dick,
I gotta be totally honest with you, I don't even
care what the reason it is. As long as they
don't show their asses at my stadiums, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Mariner GM Justin Hollander spoke with the media before tonight's
game of Blue Jays and gave a lot of updates
on injuries, including at the end, some thoughts on the
futures for Kirby and Gilbert.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Injury update.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
Everything the same with Ryan Bliss again rehabing in Arizona.
Logan is doing well. You guys have seen me starting
to throw. They'll throw again today. If that progresses well,
he could touch the mound by the end of this
homestand and throw some sort of bullpender, just throw off
the but again taking in throwing session by throwing session
with the plan is if it goes well today, that
(20:05):
he would throw off a mound before the end of
the homestand Brash is obviously here. I think you guys
have seen We're probably not gonna have a lot of
back to backs with Matt early on, but he's available and.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Stuff looks good.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Everything looks good, So progressing well, George. He will start
tomorrow for Tacoma. He will need probably one more not
for peer pitch count reasons, just he didn't have a
spring training. So the idea of going out there and
not having experienced a lot of things that you would
experience over a typical spring training and building up not
just the ability to go throw seventy five or ninety
(20:39):
pitches in the outing, but then how that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Makes you feel and being able to repeat it the
next time.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Five days later is important, So the plan would be
pitched tomorrow and then pitch one more time and assuming
everything goes well, then we would assess for itiness. But
I do think it's you know, making sure we do
the right thing for George and getting him ready to
go Jackson kar He'll be in Tacoma. I believe starting
today he's doing great. Stuff looks awesome again. He will
(21:04):
pitch like out of the woolpen on a sort of
a regular schedule for the duration of May before we
talk about an activation time.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
He's on the sixty anyway, but he's doing.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Great, has very few speed bumps along the way, and
really feel good about where his stuff is at, where
his endurance is at.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
So super excited Victor.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
He will get a CT scan at six weeks to
make sure that everything is healing well. If it is,
then he can start the strengthening process. My understanding from
talking to our medical people is that it's strength and
mobility need to happen over the next six weeks from
that point. When you're mobilized for that long, when you
(21:44):
have that traumatic type of injury in your shoulder, it
just takes time for those to come back. So war
reassess along the way, but everything so far has looked
good and we'll see where it's at on the six
week CT scan. Luke, from what I understand, rails had
a really positive last few days. Starting to feel bad,
so he will head to Arizona when we had out
of town on Wednesday. Again, I don't have a timeline yet,
(22:06):
but he's progressing well. And again sometimes we go plaice,
especially as hard as Luke swings, you want to balance
how he's feeling with risking re injury. So it'll be
a while still, but he's progressing really well. I'm really
excited about the update today from Rob Shattyger in the
HP group.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Santo has had knee surgery. Again.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
We're sort of pointing towards the All Star break right
now is a realistic timeframe.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
This was more of a cleanup.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
If you were to have a setback or it wouldn't
go well, we'd be talking about something different than a cleanup.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
So we want to make sure that we're giving it the.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Best possible chance to last for a while and not
have it be a quick setback because he pushes too
fast too soon, and then last one Taylor Sorsado's on
the I L and Triple A right now get a
strained flat on his left side. Fortunately, it seems like
we avoided like a really bad outcome. He'll be down
for a couple of weeks and then build back up
(22:59):
from there. Is more of a grade one, but you know,
he will be down for a little bit of time
and then once he feels good, we can start throwing in.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
With logan if you go sendy follow up imaging or anything.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Everything on all of our imaging, Like we not recently,
but after the after the initial pain and tightness in
the forum, we went through a whole array of imaging
and everything looked good. So really feel good about where
he's at and how he's progressed, and hopefully today's a
good day and we can talk about hitting the mountain
next week.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
George obviously encouraged after the.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Super Church it was awesome, like really good, almost a
like an identical carbon copy of what we saw out
here on the li VP. Stuff was awesome like ninety
six ninety eight with like the secondary pitches looking in
mid season, four tons of strikes.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
It was.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It was really efficient, really good, so.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Very excited and he felt great afterwards, which is the
most encouraging.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Then you don'tice that nobody ever asked Hollander about like
trades in the payroll and blah blah blah, Right, like
he just gets to talk about the fun stuff. Yes,
he just need to answer for ownership or how come
you're not spending more money? How come you're sitting on
all these prospects and not shipping anybody off to go
get a bat or blah blah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Blah, which hey, good for him.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I mean, all those questions are on Jerry Depono is
the baseball president. But great news on George Kirby. And
again he's gonna be here in Tacoma tomorrow, uh, pitching
for the Rainiers. I think you said, what one more
start for him? Uh, probably the Miners before he could
maybe come up and be back with the big league club.
Logan Gilbert gonna be on a mound hopefully at t
Mobile Park uh later next week to kind of start
(24:33):
his real rehab process into high gear.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you kind of look ahead, Dick.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And here's the cool thing about this team so far
those nine games missed by Kirby and Gilbert, the Mariners
are six and three. Some of that's pitching some of
its offense right, meaning Hancock's been pretty damn good since
his first start Luis f Castillo, who was deffaye and
then I think traded off to somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
He was not very good, so the offense picked him up.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But can you get George Kirby possibly back if he's
pitching tomorrow and then he needs one more start, can
you maybe get him for that soft landing in Chicago'd
be right and let him just get back on the
mound against maybe the worst team in base Well, what
struck me about that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Four minute long injury report was that it was a
four minute long injury report and you're eight games over
five hundred and three games up in the West. I mean,
that's what That's what blows me away, because we talked
about this yesterday. If you told me that Kirby and
Gilbert would have six combined starts and you'd be eight
games over five hundred, there's no way I believe you.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's it's almost crazy that they're even doing it right,
Like you would ask, Okay, how are you doing it
while we're doing it with putting guys on base and
we're stealing bags and okay, but who, like, who's doing that?
Dylan Moore's doing that, rowdy telez Leo Revoss is doing that.
That's right, say, I remember your big concern was the
bottom of the orders. Right, They're they're playing games. And
Larry Stone mentioned this on Monday, where you flip on
(25:57):
there and Wednesday you flip on the TV.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You see a bunch of guys that you don't even know.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Who they are.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yet they're still winning. So the chemistry seems to be better.
And I guess you got to give Dan Wilson some
credit for what's happening. I mean, you do have to
give Dan Wilson some credit for what's happening. But this
this weekend, it's not just about this weekend and the
Yankees series. You've got a little bit of a stretch here,
and I wonder just quickly put what you guys would take.
You've got nine games against the Blue Jays, the Yankees
(26:24):
and the Padres. Blue Jays aren't that great, but the
Yankees and Padres are both pretty good teams.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
So would you take? Would you take five and four?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And the next time I would take If you told
me you went four and five, I would be okay
with that. Anything anything four and five are better, sure,
I'm fine with.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, we had this conversation a couple of years ago,
man that I'm just now more convinced than ever. By
the end of the year, if you can play five
hundred ish ball against the good teams and just beat
the crap out of everybody else, that's how you win
ninety And that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
They go four and five, five and four, hang in
there right around five hundred. I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
All right, We're gonna break a little fun with audio
and then Mina Chimes joins coming up at four pm
right here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's now time for someday in Dick's Fun with Audio.
Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy mister Garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
All right it buzz it girls, We're back on a
beardiful Friday night right here on ninety three three KJRFM,
broadcasting live from Shaney Stadium, getting ready for the river
Cats and Rainiers tonight. Tickets are sold out tonight. But hey,

It's George Kirby pitch right, so jump on the website

(27:43):
night and George Kirby.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
All right, here we got a little fun with audio slash.
Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What do you say? We start with the newly elected
head of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right, yesterday afternoon, the Cubs posted on social media
on the side of Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
By the way, he congratch to Pope Leo the fourteenth.
He's a Cubs fan.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, the new Pope, Robert Prevost, maybe from Chicago, but
his brother John went on WGN news last night to
clear up which baseball team he roots for.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Clear up the thing about the Cubs and White Sox.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yeah, he was never ever a Cubs fan, so I
don't know where that came from. He was always a
Sox fan. Our mother was a Cubs fan, I don't know.
Maybe that include in there, and our dad was a
Cardinals fan, So I don't know where that all came from.
And all the ants. Our mom's family was from North Side,
so that's why they were Cubs fans. But he rooted
for the White that's right. But where it came from
(28:40):
I don't know, because he would have been the only one.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Can you watch me? And the brother of the pope
got two of them, got two brothers.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
That is just bizarre.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So here is at socks.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
On thirty fifth twitter account went through game one of
the two thousand and five World Series and found the
Pope sitting in the stands wearing a White Sox jear.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Wow they find that?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, how about that?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean that id to have just been coincidental that
I don't know, Hey let's let's go watch the game
or whatever, and boy look at that so but yeah,
he's definitely a White Sox fan. And I guess my
point is this. The White Sox are freaking terrible. They've
basically dick. They've lost like two of every three games
they've played for the last three years.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's amazing them. Well he is now, yeah, he is now.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
They can't win now with the Pope being a White
Sox fan, then never win?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Holy went like, what is the White Sox plan? Like,
is there? Do they have the Houston Astros plan?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Just to tear it down, except they're forgetting the second
part of the plan that the Astros only sucks for
like two years and when they started getting good.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
They were good like four years ago. They won like
ninety games and then they just fell apart. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 6 (29:48):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
How about ESPN host Mike Greenberg enraging some people on
social media Wednesday morning after using this phrase to react
to the George Pickens trade to the Cowboys.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
Cowboys and Steelers are working to finalize a trade that
will sand wide receiver George Pickens to Dallas in exchange
for draft pick compensation. Chefty dropping that bomb from a
plane earlier this morning, He's on an airplane and he
goes and the trade is like the phrasing of that.
The trade is expected to include a third round pick,
other pickswaps.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
So I can see how people would get mad about that,
because people are very sensitive and find ways to be
mad about everything. Yes, but he corrected it right away, yes, right,
Like even if you're one of those people that looks
to be angry about everything and that pissed you off. Okay,
there's like a two second grace period. I think, yeah,
where you go like whoa and he and then you
(30:41):
realize they made a mistake. And yet people Jackson you're
telling me, were still pissed.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Up social media and people were ablaze on Wednesday morning.
How dare he even allow himself to use that phrasing?
I think I read from somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah, because they've never made as they've never had a
slip of the tongue pound. I mean, I guess, I
just I can't comprehend and and and there are people
out there that are listening that are hair trigger like that.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
And I would just ask the simple question, why here?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
What does it do for you other than to get
your blood pressure up?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Because people like to be angry, people.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Like to be a Is it fun to be angry?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I hate people?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well, I I mean, I would just say, first of all,
to all those people, and I'm much more frank than
you are, much less professional than you are.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I would just say, you know what he meant, stupid
dorm Yeah, okay, you know what he meant. You know
what he meant, What the hell is wrong with your people?
You know what he meant? My god, you idiots? You
know what he meant, all right, hey, Dick, did you happen?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What's that Dick?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
After the Warriors blow out loss to the Timberwolves last night,
Draymond Green shared his frustrations about being labeled as an
angry black man after his technical foul and alleged racial
slur during the loss.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Look like the angry black and I'm not an angry
black man. I'm a very successful, educated black man with
a great family, and I'm great at basketball.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I'm great at what I do.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
To the agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy. I'm sick of
it is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
So there's two things. Sorry, there's there's two things.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
There's the agenda to make him look like an angry
black man, and then there's there was a fan that
got kicked out of the game last night yet.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
For a racial comment.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That's probably why he brought up.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
The black man.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
He's all fired up, he's obviously emotional. Somebody was acting
like a jerk in the stands and needed to be
kicked out. And hope that you know, dumbass never gets
invited back to a Timberwolf game. By the way, but
Draymond Green has brought all of this on himself. I mean,
obviously there's no room for what happened last night with
whatever that idiot in a stand said.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We all get that.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
But this idea that Draymond Green does not have this
hair trigger temper and is perceived as an angry person,
that's unfair.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I mean, the only way people know you is by
what you do on the court. Right on the court,
he's a hothead.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I mean the guy literally just said, like three days ago,
he was embarrassed by his own behavior, and now he's
getting mad at people who say he's angry. The angry
black part about it. I mean, look, he's angry and
he's a black man. I don't know if people go
online and refer to him as the angry black man.
But does he come across to me as angry on
the court?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Of course he does. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
When I when I think of Draymond, angry doesn't come
to mind. What comes to mind is calculated. Draymond Green
is always knowing exactly what he is doing, and unless
unless weird to believe, he loses control of his two
arms and his two legs about three times a game
where he falls down and just happens to like kick
(33:48):
somebody in the groin or flares and just happens to
just jab somebody in the nose.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
With his elbow, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
He is calculated and he he should be criticized for
how he plays. But is he was Dennis Rodman angry?
Because I think Draymond Green is the Dennis Rodman of
the twenty twenties, I really do.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, angry is probably the wrong word. I think you're right.
I think just you know, without composure, right, and he
just he just loses his freaking mind.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
George Pickens, you want to talk about George Pickens is angry?
I mean that guy seems like he's angry the time.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
He's got the second most ejections in the history of
the NBA and he's yes, and he's been suspended six times.
I mean, I don't know, dude, Like, what do you
want people to say that you're not angry? I mean,
whether it's angry or losing your cool or not having
your composure, whatever adjective you want to come up with.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
As fine, but people look at you when they think negative.
It's just negative.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
So stop it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Stop doing all these things.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Meta Kime's gonna join us next on ninety three three KJRFM,
All right, here's what we got. We're in Tacoma for
the game tonight. Bucky's gonna come down here and do
the game on the AM. Signals that right, Jackson with
Riley pay tonight at seven o'clock over on nine to
fifty AM.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So Bucky will hop on with us and talk some baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mina Kimes is going to make her final visit of
the draft season, if you will coming up at four
o'clock this afternoon. We'll do a little fun with audio.
We'll have some textimonials at four nine, four to five one.
But because we're starting to get into the heat of
the spring and summer, we're bringing back our Friday Afternoon bracket.
And I think we got a good one today, Right,
We got a good topic for today, and people need
(00:38):
to realize that the wording of these things is important, right, Yeah,
how we word these is important. So we thought, in
honor of the Blue Jays coming to town this weekend,
we would put together a bracket with the fan bases
that the three of us Softy Dick Jackson hate the most,
not the fan bases that the fans and the listeners
(00:59):
for ample hate the most. But the fan base is
that the three of us can't stand the most and
we we can't even make it until showtime without having
a mistake in the bracket. Well one that I think
is a mistake in the bracket, right, I think there's
a mistake in the bracket too. Well, here's what here's
here's what we got. We have nine teams right now,
(01:19):
in nine fan bases right now to choose from, because
we have a play in vote happening right now at
the KJR Twitter account at ninety three to three kjar
between the Cowboys and Yankees for the eight seed. All right,
the winner of that will face the forty nine ers
as a one seed. We got the Cougars and Gonzaga
going head to head. We got Boston and Toronto going
(01:41):
head to head, and we got the Oregon Ducks versus
the Portland Timbers going ahead to head. So the vote
as of right now for the eight seed Yankees are crushing.
They are just blowing the Cowboys out of the water
seventy thirty percent right now. So we'll see where that
goes when it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But the first reaction to that vote, by the way.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
From William Kapparac, Bill Kay on Twitter, no Thunder, and
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Damn it, how did we miss the Thunder?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And then we had a conversation off the air, which
actually kind of surprised me that the two of you
don't have a big issue with the Oklahoma City fan
base as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think, yeah, I mean, we hate Oklahoma City, we
hate everything that's associated with the name Oklahoma City Thunder
headed by their ownership group.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But when you're.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Talking about the fan bases, I haven't seen. I've seen
a little bit when we make fun of the Thunder online.
I think a vast majority of the Oklahoma City Thunder
fan base realized they were gifted something that they didn't deserve,
and they pretty much stay out of it when it
comes to battling with Sonic fans.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
So I haven't seen that at all.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I don't dislike shake Gilgess Alexander, I don't dislike chet Holmgren.
I don't dislike the players. I dislike the fact they're
wearing that jersey. So I will never root for that
basketball team. But you said yourself, you have a look
at what this poll is about, and it's fan bases, right.
That's softy Dick and Jackson hate the most, and Jackson,
I just don't hate that fan base.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So I am.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am out voted then two to one, which is
why the Thunder did not appear in the bracket. If
I were doing this bracket by myself, I would one
hundred percent put the Thunder fan base in there.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
What did the.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Thunder fan base do to piss you off? They're Thunder
fans and they root for my team. They took my
basketball team, they take they take enjoyment out.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Of my basketball team. All right, they are.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They are going to bed smiling and laughing and having
a gay old time with what is supposed to be
mine and now it's theirs.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Let me explain this to you like it's in fourth
grade bitterness.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Everything associated with the Oklahoma City Thunder, from the fans
to the name, to the arena, to the owner, to
their players, to the broadcasters. I want all of it
to burn to the ground. Everything you have, the same
everything you have the same level of pettiness for every
single thing you just mentioned. When everything I want, I
(04:07):
want the fans to come to the game and find
a wet spot on the pavement and slip and.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Smack their heads.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's what I want, Like, I cannot stand anything involved
with Oklahoma City. Now, look, I'm just speaking for myself.
I'm not speaking for you guys. But oh, the fans
had nothing to do with it. Of course, they had
nothing to do with it. Neither did we. We had
nothing to do with it either. Our team was robbed
from us. They were taken from us, and they're in
Oklahoma City and they are enjoying what we.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Are supposed to be enjoying.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We are the ones that were supposed to watch Kevin Durant,
Russell Westbrook and James Harden. We are the ones that
are supposed to be watching SGA and Chet Holmgren and
Sam Presty work his magic. So maybe, just at a
pure jealousy, it pisses me off what that fan base
gets to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And so when Wesley Yates, you know, leads the Huskies
to the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
At Quincy Pondexter's nephew who's now back by the way.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And you are, you know, you are a huge Wesley
Yates fan, and he becomes the biggest Husky star since.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Isaiah tom And then he goes to Okay and is and.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Then out of based upon something he had no control over.
He is drafted in the bottom of the first round
by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He should burn in Hell,
I didn't say burn and hell, I just said burn.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But okay, so he should burn.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I would say screw screw him as long as he
plays for Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
See, I want to see that happen. Yeah, I want
to see that scenario playoff.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Dick Here's the thing, and this is where you and
I just differ massively because you have a bad habit
of not leaving room for emotion in some of these arguments.
You live in dick Land. Why is it a bad habit?
Because it's annoying. It's just annoying.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's annoying.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I just told you.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That I don't know that I don't have an emotion.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I yes, I think.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I think part of being a fan and the emotions
of being a fan is that you can look at
anything from a different context, from a different lens, through
a different lens. You're asking me how I would act
if a Husky basketball player. Let's say it's a Husky
great like the better for example, I would think, and
I don't know this to be a fact, because it
(06:05):
doesn't happened yet, right, like when Brandon Roy went to Portland,
I rooted for Brandon Roy, but.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I rooted for the Blazers to fail.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So what likely would happen if this ridiculous scenario that
you're painting actually ever does become reality, which I guess
is not so ridiculous. One day an ex Husky is
going to get drafted by the Thunder. Right, that's going
to happen. I just hope the song has come back
first before it happens. But one day an ex Husky
will get drafted by the Thunder. So you're asking me
how I would feel about that? You know what I
would say to you? Ask me then how i'd feel
(06:36):
about it? I don't know, But Dick, we're not talking
about something that's happening in five years from now. Right now,
I can't stand the Thunder fan base and I can't
stand the Thunder. What likely would happen, if you want
to get serious with this, is that if the Thunder
ever did draft the Husky basketball player, I probably root
for that guy, but for the team to fall on
their ass, that's probably what I would do.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I mean, how many times have we done that in
our lives?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Fans.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Where somebody goes to play for a rival, you're like, hey,
I hope he does well, but I hope they lose
every damn game they play. I mean, I had no
intention of rooting for anybody wearing an Oklahoma City Thunder
uniform as long as I live. And when I go
on social media, and maybe I spend too much time
on social media, and I make fun of the Thunder
(07:21):
and I rub it in their fat face after they
lost Game one against the Denver Nuggets, and the first
thing I hear is some he'll build a redneck freak
getting on my case about it. I can't believe that
your losers haven't let go of your hate for Oklahoma
City so far, FM F every single one of them twice.
So Yes, in my bracket, Jackson, I would put the
Thunder on my bracket.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I think that's very fair, and I wouldn't blame anybody
for wanting them. It's just I think I think it
really does come down to the three of us and
building out a bracket that we can all agree on.
And for Dick and I I just I hate their organization.
I would even say, Dick, I differ from you. I
hate the players because specifically the players wear those colors,
and it's honestly like their free agent decisions, and I
(08:02):
don't know, like it's part of it. To be on
that team is partially a choice, so it's partially the
player's choice. It's completely irrational, but that's where emotion comes.
But but the fans had nothing to do with it.
They're living in Oklahoma City, they're rooting. They want to
be sports fans. It's the literal only thing that city has,
(08:23):
so by default they have to be Oklahoma City thunder fans.
So I just don't hate the fan base like I
hate the entire team.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You guys can have whatever take you want, right, I mean,
there's no right or wrong answer here, obviously if you
don't like it. And again, as Dick accurately pointed out,
this is the bracket that says the fan bases that
we hate the most. And there's only three of us.
If there were one hundred of us, maybe Oklahoma City
would be there. I would put them in and probably
would take them off, maybe over Boston. To be totally
honest with you, but I'm I'm up for having that conversation.
(08:50):
But yes, to answer the question, do I find myself
annoyed as hell by Oklahoma City thunder fans. Yes, because
they did not put in the work to enjoy what
they enjoyed, especially when Harden and Durant and Westbrook were
there from the jump. Now, they did not put the
work in, and that pisses me off. And you say
(09:12):
that the most most thunder fans that you hear from
are cordial and whatever, maybe it's just me. I'm sure
it is just me, because I don't get that kind
of reaction from them at all. So I hope everything
Thunder related burns and falls flat on its freakin' ass.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'm just not a big hate by association.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
If there's something, Yeah, you want to hate Clayton Bennett,
there is a big time reason to hate Clayton Benner.
You want to hate everything that it went down in
two thousand and eight, there's everything, there's every reason too,
But just to hate by association, I just I can't
do that. I mean, I don't have many petty things
in my life. Oklahoma City is definitely one of them,
and I will hold onto that, you know, at least
(09:50):
until the Sonics come back, if not the rest of
my life. But I don't know about to hate something
or someone that has absolutely nothing to do with the
situation but their own choosing.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
It's tough for me to do.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, not me, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, if I'm if the Thunder do win it
this year, and there's a chance that might happen, worse,
really good chance that might happen. I would just be
curious to get your reaction if we were to get together,
the three of us and sit in the sports pit
and flip on the parade going through downtown Oklahoma City
and watch their fat faces fill with joy is they
party and celebrate an NBA championship and Ilari O'Brien trophy,
(10:27):
And I wonder if you'll feel differently. I mean again,
I just uh, there's there there is no spot in
my heart for forgiveness or acceptance for anything involving the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Nothing. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, I'm I'm curious if the fans of four
nine four or five to one side with you, guys
Jackson and Dick, or maybe they signed more with Mediacks.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I mean, it's a good question. I think I'm the
other big one that people obviously throwing in. Okay, see
the other one that a lot of people are saying
of the Astros and next card a sort of similar
thing where like you know what for me, like you know,
you just hearing and watching Astro fans, I think that
a lot of them understand that we cheated to get
a title. Their trolls and they say like ha ha ha,
(11:09):
Like Matt Thomas, right, he's very trollish when he comes on.
But I think just reading between the lines, when Mac
comes on, he's it's with a smile, it's knowing, yeah,
we kind of got that one. So I think there's
that understanding that that for I would respond to people
who want the Astros in there.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, but they get it.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
They the fans understand and they just want to troll
the troll But like, I don't know, I hate fan
bases that invade our stadium a lot more than I
hate trolls.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, and I get that because you don't see as
many Astro fans as Red Sox fans. For sure, there's
no question about that Astros the the Red Sox have
a much bigger bandwagon than the Houston Astro. Yes, but
I want to I'm actually just for giggles, I'm gonna
text Matt right now, and I want to ask him
if you would agree with this statement, most Astro fans
(11:52):
understand that they cheated to get the championships.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is that The question is.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, that's exactly right. If and honestly, if Thomas says no.
If Thomas says that no, our fans fully think we
deserve that and we want it rightly, then I might
I'd be willing to say nope, never mind.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm gonna predict that he'll say that's not true,
and I may be wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I'm gonna predict.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Right if it was. I don't know if you would
admit it.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I mean I see a lot more as clown Astro
fans on Twitter than I do Oklahoma City thunder fans.
Way more like when the when the Mariners play the Astros,
it is nasty on social media, and which is cool.
I mean, I think that's great. But the Astro fans
are living on an era where they had to cheat
to win, and I think they there's a little bit
(12:39):
of guilt for that. So I think they almost are emboldened.
And and you you know, when you do something and
you what happens when you do something wrong? You wrong somebody,
and then by defending that you get extra angry about it.
I actually think that they're extra angry about it, so
they like lash out because they know they're guilty.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Well, yeah, well we'll see what he says when he
writes back. I'm just trying to think about, like how
you would even kind of figure this out for yourself,
because again, this is about what all three of us
feel here. Yeah, when you go to a T Mobile
park and you see Red Sox fans everywhere, and you
see Blue Jay fans everywhere, when you go to loom
(13:18):
And Field and you see forty nine er fans all
over the place. I mean, I don't know how the
average fan would judge your rate what fan base they
can't stand the most. Is it by personal experience, like
actually in person, you know, at the game, game day experiences,
and somebody else's stadium or arena, the way you've been treated,
for example when you go to somebody else's spot, Or
(13:41):
is it kind of the level of you know, smack
talk and the level of troll jobs that you see
on social media. So I don't know, Jackson, how you
would judge it, But for me, I mean I would
judge it those two ways and maybe take it fifty
to fifty from each category.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
One Probably the biggest criteria for me is is kind
of that first point you mentioned it in person experiences
and like when I go to my home stadium, I
and and partially on this is our own fans for
not buying up the tickets. But like full disclosure, when
we first started talking about this this morning at eight am,
the first list of teams that I sent included the
(14:15):
Green Bay Packers because I hate more than maybe more
than anything, other fan bases that come in and make
our city and make our stadiums look like an away stadium.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But at the point, you can't blame that they just
bought tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I know they didn't do it right. To me, I
have what I have a problem, and.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
You still know that.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
It's it's irrational and it's emotional exactly, but that's what
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
That it makes no sense. That's where I come from.
On the thunder fans.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Okay, it's freaking annoying. It doesn't hell with them. They
don't get to have that that's mine. I get put
it away, I touch.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
I hate that our fans aren't buying the tickets that
Packer fans bought last year. But at the same time,
I hate Packer fans for showing up in droves and
making it look like lambeau Field out there.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
But if they have, they're legit Packer fans for life.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I got no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
What bothers me is in two thousand and five, six
and basically since then is Joe and Julie from Kent
with their veritec jerseys, who never watched a Red Sox
game prior to two thousand and four in their life,
and now they're.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Runing against their home.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Team with this adopted BS that they just jumped on
the wagon twelve months.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That is, that's why the Red Sox. You can't prove
which one there are, but you better well know.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That there are many, many of them out there. Well,
I mean, I don't know. I assume that you're right.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But again this is my point about the uh, the
irrational behavior of being a fan that you don't have
any idea how many of those people jumped on the wag, right, but.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It pisses you off, which it should.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
They didn't tell the games in two thousand and three,
So why are they there in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'll tell you why, because they came back from three hut,
they won the World Series, and they jumped on the wagon.
That's exactly why I mean, Dick. The better a team performs,
the more fans they get for crying out loud. So
you see now you're starting to come over. You are
subconsciously coming over to my side. And that the hell
with logic and reasoning. Half these people half the right.
(16:20):
That's the way this is supposed to go. All right,
We're gonna break a lot more to get to on
a busy Friday from Jandy Stadium right here on ninety
three to three kjrfmen on testing.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Live from the R and R Foundation specialist broad Jass Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick, powered by Emerald Queen Casino,
the Vetting and capital of the Northwest on Sports Radio
nineties three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Al right back here at Tacoba Jendy Stadium, the show
rolls on baby until seven o'clock tonight right here on
ninety three to three KJRFM. Uh Mariners back at it
tonight against one of the fan bases that made our
most hated fan base bracket theron of Blue Jays. Although
I don't know what the crowd's gonna look like for
this weekend. Where are the numbers here? And I talked
(17:06):
about this a couple of days ago. So last year
they had and it was in July.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
By the while, while you're looking at up got it,
I just love the fact that it's in early May,
because that's gonna cut things down significantly because you don't
have kids out of school.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Well, July one, Friday night thirty four four nine three,
Saturday thirty eight two six four.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sunday was three four eight eight five.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I mean, look, obviously we'll see about what the
numbers look like over the weekend Mother's Days on Sunday.
But we're talking about we're not talking about necessarily how
many people will be in the stands this weekend. What
we're asking is how many of them will be Blue
Jay fans, right, Like, that's the point. I mean, they
might have forty thousand people a little bit of ninety
percent or Maritter fans, then great, that's fine, that's the
way it should be. So these games typically the last
(17:51):
few years, if not even longer than that, this kind
of feels like this has been a thing for about
a decade now, if not longer.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's been a Blue Jay freaking home game. It's been.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's been seventy five, twenty five, seventy thirty Toronto fans.
But here's the point that Larry brought up on the
show the other day, is that with the American disdain
right now coming from Canada, a lot of Canadians aren't
traveling as much to the States.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
It is May, as you said, not July. The borders
kind of a circus right now.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
People are nervous about getting even back in or getting across.
Like I was talking to, you know, the guy that
runs the Silver Cloud Hotel, and their numbers are way
down with Canadians coming into town this year.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I mean, some Canadians just aren't traveling to the States anymore.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm wondering how much is it the geopolitical environment versus
just the time of year. I mean, this is almost
always in July when the Blue Jays come in and where.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You don't know that Canadians are pissed at Americans, right,
I do, But.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I just don't know how much that's gonna If you
were going if you planned a trip to watch the
Blue Jays and the Amrigs, which most people probably planned
three four months ago, right before most of this stuff happened, Like,
are you really gonna cancel because of that?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Maybe? I don't know. People do weird things when it
comes to politics.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, you know that, right.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I mean, if you don't think the Canadians are upset
with America and they're they're taking out their frustration with
their travel dollars, then I mean that's bit's been.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I mean, look at the border towns. For God's sake.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
The paper did a big story on this like a
week ago. The border towns are struggling right now. So
I don't know what the reason is for it. And Frankly, Dick,
I gotta be totally honest with you, I don't even
care what the reason it is. As long as they
don't show their asses at my stadiums, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Mariner GM Justin Hollander spoke with the media before tonight's
game of Blue Jays and gave a lot of updates
on injuries, including at the end, some thoughts on the
futures for Kirby and Gilbert.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Injury update.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
Everything the same with Ryan Bliss again rehabing in Arizona.
Logan is doing well. You guys have seen me starting
to throw. They'll throw again today. If that progresses well,
he could touch the mound by the end of this
homestand and throw some sort of bullpender, just throw off
the but again taking in throwing session by throwing session
with the plan is if it goes well today, that
(20:05):
he would throw off a mound before the end of
the homestand Brash is obviously here. I think you guys
have seen We're probably not gonna have a lot of
back to backs with Matt early on, but he's available and.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Stuff looks good.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
Everything looks good, So progressing well, George. He will start
tomorrow for Tacoma. He will need probably one more not
for peer pitch count reasons, just he didn't have a
spring training. So the idea of going out there and
not having experienced a lot of things that you would
experience over a typical spring training and building up not
just the ability to go throw seventy five or ninety
(20:39):
pitches in the outing, but then how that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Makes you feel and being able to repeat it the
next time.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Five days later is important, So the plan would be
pitched tomorrow and then pitch one more time and assuming
everything goes well, then we would assess for itiness. But
I do think it's you know, making sure we do
the right thing for George and getting him ready to
go Jackson kar He'll be in Tacoma. I believe starting
today he's doing great. Stuff looks awesome again. He will
(21:04):
pitch like out of the woolpen on a sort of
a regular schedule for the duration of May before we
talk about an activation time.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
He's on the sixty anyway, but he's doing.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Great, has very few speed bumps along the way, and
really feel good about where his stuff is at, where
his endurance is at.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
So super excited Victor.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
He will get a CT scan at six weeks to
make sure that everything is healing well. If it is,
then he can start the strengthening process. My understanding from
talking to our medical people is that it's strength and
mobility need to happen over the next six weeks from
that point. When you're mobilized for that long, when you
(21:44):
have that traumatic type of injury in your shoulder, it
just takes time for those to come back. So war
reassess along the way, but everything so far has looked
good and we'll see where it's at on the six
week CT scan. Luke, from what I understand, rails had
a really positive last few days. Starting to feel bad,
so he will head to Arizona when we had out
of town on Wednesday. Again, I don't have a timeline yet,
(22:06):
but he's progressing well. And again sometimes we go plaice,
especially as hard as Luke swings, you want to balance
how he's feeling with risking re injury. So it'll be
a while still, but he's progressing really well. I'm really
excited about the update today from Rob Shattyger in the
HP group.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Santo has had knee surgery. Again.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
We're sort of pointing towards the All Star break right
now is a realistic timeframe.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
This was more of a cleanup.
Speaker 9 (22:31):
If you were to have a setback or it wouldn't
go well, we'd be talking about something different than a cleanup.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
So we want to make sure that we're giving it the.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Best possible chance to last for a while and not
have it be a quick setback because he pushes too
fast too soon, and then last one Taylor Sorsado's on
the I L and Triple A right now get a
strained flat on his left side. Fortunately, it seems like
we avoided like a really bad outcome. He'll be down
for a couple of weeks and then build back up
(22:59):
from there. Is more of a grade one, but you know,
he will be down for a little bit of time
and then once he feels good, we can start throwing in.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
With logan if you go sendy follow up imaging or anything.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Everything on all of our imaging, Like we not recently,
but after the after the initial pain and tightness in
the forum, we went through a whole array of imaging
and everything looked good. So really feel good about where
he's at and how he's progressed, and hopefully today's a
good day and we can talk about hitting the mountain
next week.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
George obviously encouraged after the.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Super Church it was awesome, like really good, almost a
like an identical carbon copy of what we saw out
here on the li VP. Stuff was awesome like ninety
six ninety eight with like the secondary pitches looking in
mid season, four tons of strikes.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
It was.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It was really efficient, really good, so.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Very excited and he felt great afterwards, which is the
most encouraging.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Then you don'tice that nobody ever asked Hollander about like
trades in the payroll and blah blah blah, Right, like
he just gets to talk about the fun stuff. Yes,
he just need to answer for ownership or how come
you're not spending more money? How come you're sitting on
all these prospects and not shipping anybody off to go
get a bat or blah blah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Blah, which hey, good for him.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I mean, all those questions are on Jerry Depono is
the baseball president. But great news on George Kirby. And
again he's gonna be here in Tacoma tomorrow, uh, pitching
for the Rainiers. I think you said, what one more
start for him? Uh, probably the Miners before he could
maybe come up and be back with the big league club.
Logan Gilbert gonna be on a mound hopefully at t
Mobile Park uh later next week to kind of start
(24:33):
his real rehab process into high gear.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
But you kind of look ahead, Dick.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And here's the cool thing about this team so far
those nine games missed by Kirby and Gilbert, the Mariners
are six and three. Some of that's pitching some of
its offense right, meaning Hancock's been pretty damn good since
his first start Luis f Castillo, who was deffaye and
then I think traded off to somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
He was not very good, so the offense picked him up.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But can you get George Kirby possibly back if he's
pitching tomorrow and then he needs one more start, can
you maybe get him for that soft landing in Chicago'd
be right and let him just get back on the
mound against maybe the worst team in base Well, what
struck me about that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Four minute long injury report was that it was a
four minute long injury report and you're eight games over
five hundred and three games up in the West. I mean,
that's what That's what blows me away, because we talked
about this yesterday. If you told me that Kirby and
Gilbert would have six combined starts and you'd be eight
games over five hundred, there's no way I believe you.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's it's almost crazy that they're even doing it right,
Like you would ask, Okay, how are you doing it
while we're doing it with putting guys on base and
we're stealing bags and okay, but who, like, who's doing that?
Dylan Moore's doing that, rowdy telez Leo Revoss is doing that.
That's right, say, I remember your big concern was the
bottom of the orders. Right, They're they're playing games. And
Larry Stone mentioned this on Monday, where you flip on
(25:57):
there and Wednesday you flip on the TV.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You see a bunch of guys that you don't even know.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Who they are.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yet they're still winning. So the chemistry seems to be better.
And I guess you got to give Dan Wilson some
credit for what's happening. I mean, you do have to
give Dan Wilson some credit for what's happening. But this
this weekend, it's not just about this weekend and the
Yankees series. You've got a little bit of a stretch here,
and I wonder just quickly put what you guys would take.
You've got nine games against the Blue Jays, the Yankees
(26:24):
and the Padres. Blue Jays aren't that great, but the
Yankees and Padres are both pretty good teams.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
So would you take? Would you take five and four?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And the next time I would take If you told
me you went four and five, I would be okay
with that. Anything anything four and five are better, sure,
I'm fine with.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well, we had this conversation a couple of years ago,
man that I'm just now more convinced than ever. By
the end of the year, if you can play five
hundred ish ball against the good teams and just beat
the crap out of everybody else, that's how you win
ninety And that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
They go four and five, five and four, hang in
there right around five hundred. I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
All right, We're gonna break a little fun with audio
and then Mina Chimes joins coming up at four pm
right here on ninety three three KJRFM.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's now time for someday in Dick's Fun with Audio.
Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy mister Garoppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
All right it buzz it girls, We're back on a
beardiful Friday night right here on ninety three three KJRFM,
broadcasting live from Shaney Stadium, getting ready for the river
Cats and Rainiers tonight. Tickets are sold out tonight. But hey,
George Kirby's going tomorrow. It'd be fun to come down here.
It's George Kirby pitch right, so jump on the website
to come a Rainiers dot com grab tickets for tomorrow
(27:43):
night and George Kirby.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
All right, here we got a little fun with audio slash.
Hey did you hear that? Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 6 (27:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
What do you say? We start with the newly elected
head of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
All right, yesterday afternoon, the Cubs posted on social media
on the side of Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
By the way, he congratch to Pope Leo the fourteenth.
He's a Cubs fan.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, the new Pope, Robert Prevost, maybe from Chicago, but
his brother John went on WGN news last night to
clear up which baseball team he roots for.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Clear up the thing about the Cubs and White Sox.
Speaker 10 (28:19):
Yeah, he was never ever a Cubs fan, so I
don't know where that came from. He was always a
Sox fan. Our mother was a Cubs fan, I don't know.
Maybe that include in there, and our dad was a
Cardinals fan, So I don't know where that all came from.
And all the ants. Our mom's family was from North Side,
so that's why they were Cubs fans. But he rooted
for the White that's right. But where it came from
(28:40):
I don't know, because he would have been the only one.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Can you watch me? And the brother of the pope
got two of them, got two brothers.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
That is just bizarre.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So here is at socks.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
On thirty fifth twitter account went through game one of
the two thousand and five World Series and found the
Pope sitting in the stands wearing a White Sox jear.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Wow they find that?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, how about that?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean that id to have just been coincidental that
I don't know, Hey let's let's go watch the game
or whatever, and boy look at that so but yeah,
he's definitely a White Sox fan. And I guess my
point is this. The White Sox are freaking terrible. They've
basically dick. They've lost like two of every three games
they've played for the last three years.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's amazing them. Well he is now, yeah, he is now.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
They can't win now with the Pope being a White
Sox fan, then never win?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Holy went like, what is the White Sox plan? Like,
is there? Do they have the Houston Astros plan?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Just to tear it down, except they're forgetting the second
part of the plan that the Astros only sucks for
like two years and when they started getting good.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
They were good like four years ago. They won like
ninety games and then they just fell apart. All right, Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 6 (29:48):
What's that? Dick?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
How about ESPN host Mike Greenberg enraging some people on
social media Wednesday morning after using this phrase to react
to the George Pickens trade to the Cowboys.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
Cowboys and Steelers are working to finalize a trade that
will sand wide receiver George Pickens to Dallas in exchange
for draft pick compensation. Chefty dropping that bomb from a
plane earlier this morning, He's on an airplane and he
goes and the trade is like the phrasing of that.
The trade is expected to include a third round pick,
other pickswaps.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
So I can see how people would get mad about that,
because people are very sensitive and find ways to be
mad about everything. Yes, but he corrected it right away, yes, right,
Like even if you're one of those people that looks
to be angry about everything and that pissed you off. Okay,
there's like a two second grace period. I think, yeah,
where you go like whoa and he and then you
(30:41):
realize they made a mistake. And yet people Jackson you're
telling me, were still pissed.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Up social media and people were ablaze on Wednesday morning.
How dare he even allow himself to use that phrasing?
I think I read from somebody.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yeah, because they've never made as they've never had a
slip of the tongue pound. I mean, I guess, I
just I can't comprehend and and and there are people
out there that are listening that are hair trigger like that.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
And I would just ask the simple question, why here?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
What does it do for you other than to get
your blood pressure up?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Because people like to be angry, people.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Like to be a Is it fun to be angry?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I hate people?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well, I I mean, I would just say, first of all,
to all those people, and I'm much more frank than
you are, much less professional than you are.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I would just say, you know what he meant, stupid
dorm Yeah, okay, you know what he meant. You know
what he meant, What the hell is wrong with your people?
You know what he meant? My god, you idiots? You
know what he meant, all right, hey, Dick, did you happen?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
What's that Dick?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
After the Warriors blow out loss to the Timberwolves last night,
Draymond Green shared his frustrations about being labeled as an
angry black man after his technical foul and alleged racial
slur during the loss.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Look like the angry black and I'm not an angry
black man. I'm a very successful, educated black man with
a great family, and I'm great at basketball.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I'm great at what I do.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
To the agenda to try to keep making me look
like an angry black man is crazy. I'm sick of
it is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
So there's two things. Sorry, there's there's two things.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
There's the agenda to make him look like an angry
black man, and then there's there was a fan that
got kicked out of the game last night yet.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
For a racial comment.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That's probably why he brought up.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
The black man.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
He's all fired up, he's obviously emotional. Somebody was acting
like a jerk in the stands and needed to be
kicked out. And hope that you know, dumbass never gets
invited back to a Timberwolf game. By the way, but
Draymond Green has brought all of this on himself. I mean,
obviously there's no room for what happened last night with
whatever that idiot in a stand said.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We all get that.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
But this idea that Draymond Green does not have this
hair trigger temper and is perceived as an angry person,
that's unfair.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I mean, the only way people know you is by
what you do on the court. Right on the court,
he's a hothead.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I mean the guy literally just said, like three days ago,
he was embarrassed by his own behavior, and now he's
getting mad at people who say he's angry. The angry
black part about it. I mean, look, he's angry and
he's a black man. I don't know if people go
online and refer to him as the angry black man.
But does he come across to me as angry on
the court?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Of course he does. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
When I when I think of Draymond, angry doesn't come
to mind. What comes to mind is calculated. Draymond Green
is always knowing exactly what he is doing, and unless
unless weird to believe, he loses control of his two
arms and his two legs about three times a game
where he falls down and just happens to like kick
(33:48):
somebody in the groin or flares and just happens to
just jab somebody in the nose.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
With his elbow, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
He is calculated and he he should be criticized for
how he plays. But is he was Dennis Rodman angry?
Because I think Draymond Green is the Dennis Rodman of
the twenty twenties, I really do.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, angry is probably the wrong word. I think you're right.
I think just you know, without composure, right, and he
just he just loses his freaking mind.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
George Pickens, you want to talk about George Pickens is angry?
I mean that guy seems like he's angry the time.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
He's got the second most ejections in the history of
the NBA and he's yes, and he's been suspended six times.
I mean, I don't know, dude, Like, what do you
want people to say that you're not angry? I mean,
whether it's angry or losing your cool or not having
your composure, whatever adjective you want to come up with.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
As fine, but people look at you when they think negative.
It's just negative.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
So stop it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Stop doing all these things.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
