Summary

Vince Carter still playing in the NBA is remarkable (:10). Let's talk about how rare what he's doing is. We have a full weekend of games to get to, but it all starts tonight. The Astros need to win Game 3 and I'll tell you how they do it (:55). If the Nationals want to win I'll tell you what they can't do. Houston GM Jeff Luhnow couldn't have messed up his press conference worse than he did (9:30). This front office had a chance to get things right and they didn't. The NBA and MLB are very similar and I'll explain how (18:00). It's time we talk about players and fans and the broken relationship they have - how can we fix it? The XFL isn't paying its' players any money and that's the first of many problems (28:30). On this day in 2003 I won a World Series (30:30). Let me tell you exactly how that day went. Review of the day is 'Sleepers' (36;20) Will the XFL play a full season? #Waittosee To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	1998. 1998 was the year that Vince Carter first took the court as a National Basketball Association
0:16.0	player and he did it again yesterday. 22 years in the NBA. 22, I can't even imagine it.
0:24.0	So here's what I'd like you to picture. This is the equivalent of right now our J. Barrett,
0:30.0	who just made his debut, second youngest player to ever score 20 points in his first game
0:34.2	as a Nick. Imagine if he's still playing an outcomes Jimmy Butler's new daughter. That's
0:41.6	what we're talking about. That's how long Vince Carter has been playing. Congrats Vince,
0:46.9	you are my man of dunk in. See you soon on the court. We got to realize and talk about
0:54.8	World Series. Don't like the off days. I really don't because I want the games to happen.
0:59.7	I'm ready for it. I know if you're Houston, you want to be playing because you certainly
1:03.0	want no part of the distractions that have been taking place. But we've got game three coming
1:08.2	up tonight. Annabelle Sanchez. Annabelle Sanchez, who was really supposed to be the four
1:13.3	starter for Washington, signed a two year deal before the season started to compliment
1:17.9	the top three in the rotation has turned in a surprising season. Not for me, I had him
1:22.8	in 2006 when he threw a no hitter. Thank God for no replay because Eric Burns was safe.
1:27.6	You know it. Annabelle Eric knows it. We all know it. Hanley took way too long to throw
1:32.0	the ball. But in any case, he got his no hitter. He's now on the nationals and he's got
1:37.0	a chance to go against Zach. Ranky, Zach. Ranky was supposed to be giving his team at
1:40.9	least a two one lead in the series, potentially a three zero lead in the series. Instead, Zach
1:46.2	is pitching for the Astros playoff life. They didn't imagine that when they brought him
1:51.0	in from the Diamondbacks and the off the trade deadline. And they certainly didn't imagine
1:57.4	that this series would go the way it has. But the best thing about baseball is that you
2:01.8	need to win four out of seven games and it's only two nothing. So what are the keys as
