Summary

Brendan Tierney is joined by actor and die-hard Yankees fan Nick Turturro, who vents his frustration over the team's ongoing struggles. Turturro, a lifelong fan who remembers the team's lean years, feels the current organization has lost its winning mentality and has become a "Disneyland" where on-field performance is secondary to business and fan consumption. He and BT agree that the team lacks "dogs" and a sense of accountability, and he wishes players and coaches would show more rage and frustration over their poor play.

It should be a lot of fun here. I am a fan. He's been on the TV, too, with the movie screen for a long time. He's a massive, massive Yankee fan. But he's looking at his wounds like many of us. Big Nick Titoro in the house, Nick, BT and Sal. Now, Sal is off, so it's just you and I today. What's going on, bud? Good, BT. I'm glad to finally talk to you, bricks and bread, because, you know, I see your rants. I see your monologues, your soliloquies, daily. And I feel very similar to you on a lot of levels. I mean, you mentioned something the other day about the

1:11.1

country club Yankees, the soft Yankees. I mean, it is, it's not because we're not a winning

1:17.7

franchise. It's just about how we've been going about it for a long time. And we're in such a

1:23.3

lull, such a rut. It's just like nothing ever changes. It's so acceptable that to hardcore Yankee fans, fans that have experienced championships

1:33.7

in the 90s and the 70s like me, we don't expect to win a championship every year.

2:07.4

because it's usually 43,000 there, their second or third in baseball and the attendant. So,

2:11.7

you were born in the early 60s, if I'm not mistaken, which means your earliest memories as a

2:17.3

baseball fan. The Yankees weren't that good. So I appreciate that. As a matter of fact, the Mets won the World Series. I think when you were 7 and 69. So you're coming from a non-entitled place, right? That's right. That's right. When I became a Yankee fan, just by accident, I walked into the original Yankee stadium, 1973, maybe it was
