00:00All right, George, the American League, we brought this up.
00:03Is it parody or bad baseball in the American League?
00:07Why not both?
00:08Why not both?
00:10All right.
00:11Listen, there's no great team.
00:13In my mind, on what gave her emergency last night,
00:15we were talking about this.
00:17It could be the Yankees.
00:18But we've seen the Yankees do this before, right?
00:20They're always a good regular season team,
00:21and they sputter in the playoffs a little bit.
00:24I'm still – and, Dan, I've been on this team for years now.
00:27They almost got it last year.
00:29And I'm talking about the Seattle Mariners
00:31because they're sort of the Yankees West.
00:33Very good starting staff, better bullpen.
00:35They're a bat or two short.
00:37They tried to get it last year with Josh Naylor, who did a lot for them,
00:41but it's still another bat or two short.
00:43I mentioned the Dodgers for Buxton.
00:44If Seattle can get Buxton, oof, that would be so nice there.
00:48They need a bat.
00:49If they added a bat, I think they have a team to beat in the American League.
00:52I don't know if anyone's beaten the top teams in the National League.
00:55I don't know if they could be World Series contenders here,
00:56but you never know what can happen in a seven-game series.
00:58But in my mind, it's the Yankees and the Mariners.
01:01And after that, there's a whole lot of, hey, you don't know what's going to happen
01:04in a three-game, five-game series.
01:06Maybe the White Sox are that magical team, you know,
01:08and they're going to score 22 runs a game.
01:10Maybe Houston will wake up.
01:11Maybe Toronto will figure things out and not have all these injuries.
01:14You know, we just don't know here.
01:15Maybe Detroit keeps school, will make more moves.
01:18But outside of the Yankees and Mariners, no one else is sexy.
01:22No one else really impresses me all that much.
01:25George, how about this in Chicago?
01:27I mean, if you're buying a Chicago team, right now I believe the White Sox
01:32are sitting at top of the Central Division now.
01:34If you had to pick a team to go deep into the playoffs
01:37or a team to go to the playoffs, would it be Cubs or White Sox?
01:43I mean, the Cubs have been so helter-skelter, Dan, right?
01:46One, they're winning 10 in a row, and then they're losing.
01:48They can't beat anybody.
01:49All right?
01:50I know, listen, they lost to Mizorowski last night.
01:51What are you going to do?
01:52You guys don't want 106 miles an hour.
01:54You guys are a freak.
01:55But Milwaukee, really good team.
01:57I think right now, the White Sox are having fun.
02:01They're just having fun.
02:03I don't think they're all that good a team.
02:04I don't.
02:04The bullpen's bad.
02:05They can hit a bit.
02:06Such as Murakami comes back there.
02:09Berkley seems to have figured things out now, which is nice.
02:11I might vote for the White Sox.
02:13I think the Cubs are better.
02:14But, Dan, can anybody stay healthy in the Cubs rotation?
02:17They just wanted David Peterson from the Mets.
02:20The guy's an ERA over 10.
02:21And they wanted him.
02:22All right?
02:23Because they have nobody left to throw to here.
02:24I probably have more faith in the White Sox right now.
02:27Hey, it's June 27th.
02:28Talk to me at all because it probably goes back to the Cubs.
02:30The White Sox are definitely the more fun team to watch right now.
