Catch your potential championship clinching game two of the NLL finals between the Buffalo Bandits and the Colorado mammoth on Monday May 29th at 4 p.m. Eastern on ESPN 2 ESPN plus and TSN.

The Astros took down the raise in game five so the ALCS is set and the NLCS is set to begin tonight. Let's talk about it.

What's going on everybody? Welcome to Talkin' Baseball. It is a beautiful Friday afternoon October 11th. The Astros beat the raise. They are who we thought they were.

We will be previewing the National League Championship Series. My name is John Boyd. I'm coming to you from New Jersey. I got the birthday boy, the 30 year old killer from Denver. Jake is 30 years old today. Jake, how you doing?

I'm good. As you saw, I retired my eyes today. I put a pair of glasses on. I don't think I'm ever going to take them off.

I don't even know what they do. I think they're, what are they? Screen glasses? What do we call these?

They're blue light glasses. They take the blue off the screen. The blue on the screens by afternoon. I have mine and I rarely take them off.

I have X-ray glasses on now and that's 30.

Everything will be very professional today. Very straightforward. You saw it in my text messaging. No more time for jokes. Very professional episode coming up today.

Yeah, you guys want to hear how Jake texted me this morning. I said, what up? He said, hello, James. Good morning to you and yours. I said, you good to go. He said, absolutely. Sounds great.

It's more, it's not professional. It's more boilerplate like whatever they, the given responses they offered you.

Yeah, I was not, they don't give me the given responses anymore. I think Apple gave up on me.

Man, being formal. I know you and I, we did this with a guy Jack Curry who covers the Yankees, but he's always like very professional and we're like, how do you do that?

Yeah, I couldn't cut to him in studio and he is like Severino dealt for seven eight innings with a couple of strikeouts, but we'll see how he does the blah blah and it's just out and it's like, wow, that was so professional.

Yeah, yeah, so you'll never do it. Don't worry about turning 30. You'll still be a dummy at heart. Okay, thank you. When I turned, when I turned 30, it was only a couple months ago. I'm fully over it now.

I fully accepted it. You'll accept your fate, but the things that hurt the most was you'll never be in your 20s again, which is just like clear, but just to hear it's like, oh, shit, fuck.

Yeah. And next big birthday is 40. Yeah, yeah, the 40 thing is daunting. Yeah, I fucking brutal. Whoever said that to me, I wanted to fight him.

No, it's crazy. You mentioned the you'll never be in your 20s again. As you know, I spent yesterday having a failed DMV trip. So that was my last day in my 20s.

Yeah, well, I don't think many people do like last day in the 20s events. I think they should. I think last day in your 20s should be more exciting than your 30th birthday.

I might make that my I might make that my revolution. Wow. Yeah, retire your eyes starting revolutions. You are 30 years old. I sound like a loser.

Eyes are done. It's starting actually starting a revolution is more like 19 year old. So you're actually aging backwards. Great.

Perfect. Perfect. You watched a baseball last night.
