00:00The Cubs beat the Yankees 4-1 on Sunday.

00:04They got things off early, let's just say.

00:07In fact, how about the first batter of the game?

00:10Your boy, Michael Bush Beer on Marquee Network.

00:15You like that combination of on-base plus slug at the top of the batting order?

00:19Swing and a high fly ball out towards right center field.

00:21That one back. That one is gone!

00:24Home run from the leadoff hitter, Michael Bush!

00:27And it's 1-0!

00:30And they're fired up in the Cubs dugout.

00:34Boog Shambi with the call on Marquee.

00:39Yeah, the Yankee offense got kind of sleepy Saturday and Sunday against the Cubs, right?

00:44Boyd completely mowed him down on Saturday.

00:49And then Imanaga, 7 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 6 Ks on Sunday.

00:53So not a good...

00:54That guy pitches well for a little guy.

00:56I mean, he's a small guy out on the mound.

00:59And I'm just blown away by his stuff.

01:03Like, he's got real numbers.

01:06I know, you know, he's had injuries and whatever.

01:09But he can pitch.

01:12He certainly can.

01:13A few other things from the Yankees over the weekend.

01:15Bellinger had a three-homer game Friday night against his old team.

01:19First time playing the Cubs, he had three homers against the men.

01:22He almost had a fourth.

01:23That was a hell of a catch.

01:24I guess that was PCA out on the first row or else he would have had four homers.

01:29Rob, oh, it was Tucker.

01:30That's right.

01:31There you go.

01:31Tucker in right.

01:32Nice job, Luke.

01:33Aaron Judge had his 350th career homer on Saturday.

01:37He became the fastest player ever to reach 350 homers.

01:40He did it in just 1,088 games.

01:42The previous fastest was Maguire in 1,280.

01:47So, quite the pace.

01:49On the premium, lad.

01:51He was on the premium, too.

01:53He was on probably, if there's even something above the premium,

02:00he was probably on that.

02:01Like, super, super high octane.

02:05Zynthetic is what Maguire was on.

02:07Max Freed has a blister issue.

02:09Now, he wasn't going to pitch in the game tomorrow night anyway.

02:12But he says it's getting better.

02:14Now, we'll see if he can go out of the all-star break, hopefully.

02:18Who doesn't have blister?

02:19It was kind of a tough end of the first half for the Yankees.

02:22I think the only way that we could do that today is to get the summation

02:25of the first half and the Yankees season so far at the break

02:29from manager Aaron Boone.

02:31Incomplete.

02:35What do you mean?

02:36You know, there's been a lot of good.

02:37There's obviously been two weeks where we really struggled.

02:41But, you know, we set out in spring training and the start of the year.

02:49A month and a half.

02:50To get back to the playoffs and go chase after a world title.

02:53You know, that's – and all those hopes and dreams are right there

02:57and still exist for us.

02:58So, if nothing else, we've put ourselves in a position to be –

03:03that that is something that is attainable for us.

03:06So, it's a long way to go still.

03:09We've got to keep getting better.

03:12A long way to go.

03:13But, you know, we're in position to do what we need to do.

03:16And hopefully, you know, after today, these four days in the physical

03:23and mental grind of a long season, hopefully there's that positive reset

03:28for some guys to get a breather, to get a blow,

03:31and come with that hyper-focus of, you know, understanding what our mission is.

03:37So, he, you know, he's always Mr. PR, positive spin, et cetera.

03:42At the end of the day, he's never got it done.

03:47That's just all there is to it.

03:48So, they don't win it.

03:50And I've got to be honest with you.

03:52There's no way I think that team's winning the World Series right now.

03:55You know, I've got to tell you at the break, they're just –

03:58in my view, they are not – they're not the one.

04:02You know what I mean?

04:02There's only one, and it's not them.

04:05They're beatable.

04:06They're very beatable.

04:08And, you know, when they play good teams, they lose.

04:11That's just all there is to it, right?

04:12Like, there's no other way of looking at it.

04:14They're not even – in my view, they're not even –

04:19I don't think they're capable of getting back to the World Series,

04:22to be honest with you.

04:23I don't see them winning a pennant.

04:24I really don't.

04:26You're not going to get any kind of disagreement out of me with any of that

04:30because you know how I feel.

04:32I don't think that they're anywhere even close to being near some of these

04:35other teams.
