| 0:00.0 | Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir. Two o'clock, straight up. McMonigle here with you on the Cardin Show, |
| 0:07.9 | no Craig today or all week. And that's probably better for me because I don't feel like having |
| 0:13.1 | my face rubbed in it. But I'm sure you'll take advantage of it at 888, 808, 101, 9, as we will |
| 0:19.0 | get to it all here on the Carton Show. |
| 0:21.5 | Got you till 6 o'clock, Yankee pregame. Obviously, we'll get to the soccer tonight's big game against Belgium, and we know who will be playing, and the president saved U.S. soccer. We'll get to all of that, but we have to start with, yes, even though Evan prefaced it. Yes, we are starting |
| 0:37.5 | with the New York Yankees who are a disaster right now, heading in to the biggest series of the season. |
| 0:43.7 | And coming off this weekend, 4th of July, which, again, was a devastating loss for the New York |
| 0:49.8 | Yankees in a lot of reasons. One, obviously, because it was the Minnesota twins, |
| 0:55.3 | and the Yankees have treated the Minnesota twins like a dormant for as long as I can |

Garrett Cole, not great, but pretty good through a rain delay. And you feel like, all right, you know you got the Tampa Bay series coming up. |

| 1:49.3 | And then they don't just lose. |
| 1:51.3 | And I know that you get the Rodon injury and Brendan Beck has to start. |
| 1:56.5 | And he gives up three runs to the first three hitters on the 4th of July. |
