00:00They will play game one just after 730 East tonight in the
00:07boogie down at the Bronx. Cleveland gets there after
00:10beating the Tigers 73 Saturday afternoon. Of course, you had
00:14the big Grand Slam by Lane Thomas off of school ball which
00:17sent the Tigers home and five. So Cleveland comes in, of
00:21course, big underdogs against the Yankees. Here is first year
00:26manager. Stephen vote on Cleveland being big underdogs.
00:30We worry about us. You know, we've taken that with every
00:33series every all year long and we can control what we can and
00:38we know the Yankees are good. We've they've played us tough.
00:40This is a really good team we're about to go up against
00:42but we're confident in who we are and that's all we can
00:46control is us. So, it's gonna be a fun series and we're
00:49really looking forward to it. That's very exciting. Listen,
00:54we already know the situation, the lay of the land here. I
00:58mean, I think that all the pressures on the Yankees to get
01:01it done. They have to get it done. If they lose this, it'll
01:06be humiliating. It really will. I I mean it like II think
01:10Cleveland's okay. I think they had a good year and I don't
01:15really think anybody respects that division. Even though
01:19three teams made the playoffs. I still don't think people
01:22respect it. Like that there's some faunted division that
01:26we're all afraid of. I mean, we live in New York, man. The the
01:32AL East is where it's at. That's just all there is to it. No one
01:36even cares about the West. The AL East is always what matters
01:40in the American League. That's just all there is to it whether
01:43you like it or not. The of course, Yankees will have the
01:48home crowd behind him tonight. The 50K strong in the Bronx.
01:51Aaron Boone as always expecting a wild atmosphere in the
01:56boogie-down. Look, I'm sure Yankees team's going to be
01:59rocking tomorrow night. You know, it looks like cooler
02:02weather's moving in for these first two games. So, it's going
02:05to have that October feel to it. You know, we're we're now in the
02:09round playing for a chance to win a pennant and go to the
02:12World Series. So, you know, it's it's going to be an awesome
02:16atmosphere and you know, obviously, we have some history
02:20with with a lot of guys over there in the playoff. So, I'm
02:24sure it'll be a great environment. So, if it's
02:27simple, if Rodan gets in trouble, they gotta yank him.
02:30Like, they're not going to sit around and watch this guy give
02:33up runs, are they? I can't take it. Like, you already seen what
02:36happened. Like, he was so average that people started
02:40threatening his wife and children. Like, people here are
02:43crazy. Like, they'll they said they were going to kill his
02:47children. Like, and they meant it. Like, these people are
02:50stupid. They're nuts. They're insane. It's not a safe
02:54environment. You go to the game at your own peril. I mean, you
03:00wear the wrong colors at that place and start opening your
03:03mouth. Someone will put an end to all your teeth. That's just
03:07all there is to it and you know it's true, Mike. Let's not
03:10sugarcoat it. It is a hostile place and you know, I've heard
03:16all this. Oh, Yankee fans are smarter than everybody. They
03:19know more baseball. No, they don't. They're just idiots.
03:22They're drunks and they're insane and it's a rowdy lit
03:26football crowd for a baseball game. That's just all there is
03:29to it and really, with the Jets and Giants being as average as
03:33they are every year after year after year after year, the
03:35Yankees fans are the true football crowd in New York. I
03:39mean, it is a football stadium atmosphere tonight in the
03:42Bronx. Guaranteed that and they're not going to tolerate
03:45this guy, Rodon, giving up runs. They'll start booing him.
03:49They'll boo him until he wants to jump off a bridge. They have
03:52to keep an eye on this guy. I don't trust him.
