Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘abandoned’ as in abandoned our commitment to winning as in remember when Phil Castellini told Cincinnati fans he was going to move the team and the fans need to be better and all that nonsense. The Reds are 3-22 through 25 games. Just bad. As bad as you can get. Is it tanking? Is it payroll manipulation? How did we get here? (14:20) The New York Mets came back from 6 runs down in the top of the 9th inning to beat the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets scored 7 runs! It was hit after hit after hit after hit! How is a collapse like this handled after the game? How warm is Girardi’s hot seat? (25:15) Review: Ambulance. (28:30) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Formula 1 in Miami this weekend. It’s here. The craze has taken South Beach. (39:45) NPPOD. (43:30) Sergio Garcia was on a hot mic and was furious with a PGA official. He said he was done with the Tour. He’s had enough. But not enough money because the Saudi-backed tour is in his sights. Ha. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Joy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

A bandend is the nothing personal word of the day because today is Friday, May 6, 2022.

0:57.0

It means you've been deserted, you've been cut off.

1:02.0

It means, hey, see you later. I have a better offer. I'm abandoning you.

1:08.0

It sounds worse to be abandoned, right? The president of the Cincinnati Reds told you,

1:15.0

don't worry Cincinnati, we haven't abandoned our commitment to winning.

1:20.0

We haven't deserted our commitment to winning. We haven't cut off our commitment to winning.

1:27.0

That's what owners say and presidents say. The Reds are three and 22. Historically bad.

1:35.0

Not historically bad. Yes, they are. You know what? No, they're not.

1:39.0

Koka, we were going to do a whole thing about how historic it is and how ridiculous it is that the Reds are so bad.

1:45.0

Let me tell you, there's teams that start O and 30. We'll see where they are at the end of the year,

1:50.0

but they're going to lose a buck 15 for sure. But I wanted to talk about this team and talk about what's going on in the front office of teams that are going well,

2:17.0

Hey, how do the hammies feel? I had a little problem with my knee. Am I feeling a little something, something?

2:23.0

How's the weather? How's my breathing? Sort of like a check. Like a car check. Yes, we can tie this into F1, Koka, with back going out of Miami.

2:35.0

Like 20 laps into the race. You're seeing how the cars performing is the track slick. So that's what you do. April, you're just watching during the course of a season.
