| 0:22.6 | 365 days a year we are going currently through the dog days of summer we can't wait for football to |
| 0:28.2 | get here another whole hum day on the show yesterday however our social media picks kind of picked us up |
| 0:34.4 | but to show you the razor-thin difference between winning and |
| 0:38.4 | losing, as we bring up the recap from yesterday, I'm telling you, Mad Max in the Thunderdome, |
| 0:43.2 | he was this close to 4-0, this close to 4-0. Cacucci was just rolling along. And then they |
| 0:49.2 | just take him out. We tell you on social media, right now, strikeouts are very difficult because |
