| 0:02.4 | As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the magnificent Monday edition of the yard. |
| 0:10.0 | Happily back in Stark Vegas, though I wish I was still in Omaha. |
| 0:15.2 | But I would only want to be in Omaha still if the Diamond Dogs were with me, you know. |
| 0:25.3 | College World Series final season. be in Omaha still if the Diamond Dogs were with me you know college world series final series will begin tonight between Vanderbilt and Michigan I've got a few things to say about that |
| 0:30.7 | and about the state of college baseball and several other things I don't know how long we'll talk |
| 0:36.6 | today but got a lot to cover a lot of ground to cover one of the things. I don't know how long we'll talk today, but I got a lot to cover, a lot of ground to cover. |
| 0:40.6 | One of the things that I'll tell you, I was going, I guess, for 10 days. |
