00:00Is that three in a row, Curtis, if I'm keeping track correctly?

00:03You are.

00:04Three in a row since they decided not to pitch Chapman.

00:09Well, you know, during baseball season, especially during August,

00:14I never like to get too high or too low.

00:17We got pretty high there for a second.

00:19I think that we were talking like we were going to go all the way

00:22for about a week or two.

00:24We've come down to reality.

00:25If we could leave getting too high to the expert that we have on the show,

00:30that would probably be a good idea.

00:32I ain't hitting the panic button, though.

00:33No, you're not worried about it at all.

00:34No, because remember how high we were when they made a nice little run.

00:39So, I mean, now they're in a little skid right now,

00:41so you can't jump off the ship.

00:43Well, I mean, is it a good thing generally to be in a skid

00:47before you are facing a division rival on their ball field

00:53when things get very important?

00:55Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

00:56Well, no, I mean, I don't think that's a good thing.

00:59They always play the Yankees well, so.

01:00Yeah.

01:01So, yeah.

01:02All right.

01:03All right.

01:03I mean, this year they're 5-1 against.

01:05I will be optimistic.

01:06Am I thinking that they are going to make another massive run

01:10before October?

01:12No.

01:12I think that we got their flash of greatness kind of out of the way,

01:17and now we're seeing who this ball club is.

01:19Well, I mean, Curtis has mentioned it multiple times,

01:22and he is correct.

01:23But if you're going to be a wild card team,

01:28it is wildly important that you secure home field advantage.

01:33And so if you're not going to win these series,

01:36win your way out of August into September,

01:39then it's going to be difficult to be that.

01:43Those are just lost.

01:45Those three straight against those teams,

01:48really just the Marlins and the Orioles stink.

01:52And now you're off today.

01:53You're in the Big Apple getting ready for Thursday.

01:56The Red Sox are 5-1.

01:57The odds of the Red Sox going like 10-2 or 10-3 against the Yankees are slim.

02:02I would say if they split in New York, that would be a victory.

02:06Here's a text on the Subaru of New England text line that says,

02:10nothing is more entertaining than listening to you guys buying into the Red Sox every summer

02:17and then being disappointed by the Boston Red Sox every summer.

02:21It's not every summer.

02:23It's every summer.

02:23It's been a while.

02:24Yeah, it's been the past three years.

02:26It's been a while.

02:27But this year's different.

02:28This team is different.

02:29Yeah, this year's different.

02:30This team can rally.

02:31I would say this.

02:32Do you think this team makes the postseason?

02:34Yes.

02:34Okay, so then.

02:35I would be enraged if they somehow blow it and are not a wild card.

02:43Right.

02:43Yes.

02:43So the last three years, they finished in what, last place?

02:46Correct.

02:46So this year, you're going to make the postseason.

02:48And from there.

02:49They're finishing in third place in the division.

02:51Wow.

02:52Well, yeah, I think that, but that, I think when you look at it, you always want to win

02:56the division, but the most important thing is getting into the postseason.
