Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘probability’ as in chances as in up as in down as in Yankees as in Guardians as in Judge as in Stanton as in Noel as in Fry. What a postseason game yesterday! Clase blows another save! Weaver blows a save! Guardians steal a game! (11:50) The Dodgers are too good. Too much firepower on offense. The bullpen is shutting down the Mets batter. It’s ugly out there! (22:30) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Knicks new jersey patch deal with Abu Dhabi and somehow the new location of the Sphere being in the UAE. HAHAHA! (35:10) Review: Deadpool & Wolverine. (38:30) NPPOD. (42:40) Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers have a problem. His knee is bad. Has missed so many game because of it. We were told it was all fine and now he’s out indefinitely. Not good for Steve Ballmer and the new Intuit Dome! (50:20) Why are the Steelers benching Justin Fields for Russell Wilson? What’s the point of breaking up the 4-2 team? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
