2
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Computer Associates, makers of software, superior by design.
3
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Here's the deal on today, starting pitcher for the Jays.
4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Starting pitcher for Toronto in the first game of a four game set.
5
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Hopefully a four game set as Pat Hinken, a young right-handed pitcher with above-arish fastball.
6
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
He's one of those guys who's going to cross him the fastball up in the zone,
7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
and he's got what we used to call a drop ball on little leagues.
8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Curve ball's more of a downer. He throws very few changes.
9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Basically he's going to throw a four-seam fastball up in the zone.
10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
You're going to see a lot of fly ball outs off him.
11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
He's pitching well. He's going to change planes with a curve ball.
12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And everyone's going to throw you a two-seam fastball when he's behind the camera.
13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Basically two-pitch pitchers. Very competitive and a good athlete.
14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
That's the deal on Hinken. Now here's the starting lineup as brought to you by Nissan.
15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Nissan, it's time to expect more from a car.
16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
The Blue Jays, well, this is not a lineup that you'll recognize.
17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Leading off is a shortstop, Dick Schofield.
18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Roberto Alomar is the second baseman.
19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
He'll bat second, hitting 308, eight home runs and 38 rebbeys.
20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Paul Molitor continues the role. He's a DH.
21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
He'll bat third, hitting 344, 14 home runs and 75 runs batted in.
22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Joe Carter, the right fielder, will bat clean up.
23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
270, 26 home runs and 102 runs batted in.
24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
John O'Rourke's at first base. He'll bat fifth.
25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
293, 12 home runs and 67 rebbes.
26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Mike Huff gets the start in center field.
27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
He'll bat in the number six position, 302, three home runs and 24 rebbes.
28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Devon White is out with a strained left Achilles and a sore right knee.
29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Darnell Cole is the left fielder, will bat seventh.
30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Batting eighth, the third baseman, Ed Sprague.
31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And Pat Borders, the catcher, will bat ninth.
32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
For the Yankees, first place in 70 and 42, seven games.
33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Ahead of the Orioles, Luis Polonia will lead off and play left.
34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Batting second, the third baseman, Wade Boggs.
35
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Paul O'Neill's in right field, he'll bat third, hitting 364, 21 home runs, 83 runs batted in.
36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Danny Tartabal's back in the lineup. He missed two games with a sore left elbow.
37
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
He'll be the D.H.L. back clean up.
38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Batting fifth, the Yankee captain and their first baseman, Donald Arthur Mattingly.
39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
305, six home runs, 51 runs batted in.
40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Mike Stanley's the catcher, he'll bat in the number six hole, hitting 302, 17 home runs and 57 runs batted in.
41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Bernie Williams in center field will bat seventh.
42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Williams hitting 291, 12 home runs and 57 runs batted in.
43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Mike Gallego's the shortstop, he'll bat eight, hitting 241, six home runs and 41 runs batted in.
44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And Pat Kelly's at second base, batting ninth.
45
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Kelly hitting 278, three home runs and 39 runs batted in.
46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Pat Henkin for the Jays, 13 and 8, 3.20.
47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Melito Perez for the Yankees, 9 and 4, 4.03.
48
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
We're ready for baseball here at the stadium.
49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
We'll have that for you right after this.
50
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:48,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
51
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Betty Layton on the Yankee Stadium, Oregon plays O Canada and the national anthem.
52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000

57
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
The Yankees have taken the field.
58
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Melito Perez is about to begin his warmups and I'll give you the Yankees defensively.
59
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Luis Palon is in left, Bernie Williams in center and Danny Tartable, check that, Paul O'Neill, not Danny Tartable, is over and right.
60
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
In the infield, Wade Boggs at third, Mike Gallego at shortstop.
61
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Patrick Kelly is at second and Donald or Arthur Mattingly, the Yankee captain, is at first.
62
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And as we broke here on the pregame yesterday, this could be, I'll say it will be, could be the last game he plays, especially if it's a long strike.
63
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000
He said that he would give serious consideration to retiring.
64
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We'll see.
65
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Mike Stanley is behind the plate and Melito Perez is on the mound.
66
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Hey, taste the difference, drink Snapple Sport, the awesome sports drink from Snapple.
67
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
It's the delicious way to recharge and replenish lost nutrients.
68
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Snapple Sport, it's America's thirst cruncher only from Snapple and made from the best stuff on earth.
69
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:38,000
The umpires, Matt Winans is behind the plate, Rick Reeds at first, Larry McCormick at second, and Jim Evans is over third.
70
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Well, the bags are packed in the Yankee clubhouse, unfortunately, and they are ready to bolt at the end of this game.
71
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Same thing with the Blue Jays, although they'll just leave the stuff that they have in the clubhouse and they'll head home to points unknown.
72
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Most of the Yankees have reservations to go to their hometowns tomorrow.
73
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Buck Showalter will be here tomorrow, hoping his team shows up.
74
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
There will supposedly be a meeting between Fear and Rabbits today.
75
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Hopefully it can be worked out in the 11th hour.
76
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
It doesn't look good, but let's keep our fingers firmly crossed and hope that we will be with you again tomorrow evening.
77
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Right now, let's sit back and enjoy what could be the last baseball game of 1994 for Yankee fans.
78
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
If it is so, well, it's been a pretty good year.
79
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Dick Schofield digs in, Melito Perez is on the mound, and stepping in behind the microphone for the play-by-play, John Sterling.
80
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
John?
81
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Hi, thank you, Michael, and once again, good afternoon, everyone.
82
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,000
It's been a very good year, but very incomplete, unfulfilled for Yankee fans, and I might add Yankee broadcasters.
83
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
This team has been in first place since sometime in May.
84
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Dick Schofield leads off, right-hand hitter, and Perez throws a breaking ball strike through his slider from the count, 0-1-1.
85
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Normally Devon White, the leadoff hitter, and a peerless one, but White is out with a pulled hamstring.
86
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
0-1 to Schofield, a little ground ball to the right side, Kelly feels.
87
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Mattingly gets the first, and the throw is in time, one away.
88
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Mattingly started to go for it, then New Kelly would get there, and a retry to the first, so Schofield is out 4-3.
89
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Schofield at 2-56, four homers and 32 RBIs before the ground ball.
90
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:27,000
The Toronto lineup is really down now with Devon White out to four players, and they are coming up now.
91
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Alomar, Molitor, Carter, and Olrud.
92
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
But the troops in back of those guys have not hit well this year, and Toronto has not scored a lot of runs.
93
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Alomar takes a strike.
94
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Robbie having another great year, hitting a 3-0-8, eight homers, 38 RBIs, and 19 stolen bases.
95
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He's a switch hitter batting left.
96
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Better lefty hitter than righty hitter, usually.
97
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Molito deals 0-1, and the check swing grounder right back to the mound.
98
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Molito throws out Alomar, and they're two away.
99
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Could Alomar walk any slower to first base? What a disgrace.
100
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
I know he tapped it back to the mound, and the likelihood of him beating it out is small.
101
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
But to sit there and walk back to first base, let's put some effort forth here.
102
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
People paid to get into this game.
103
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Maybe they're on strike already.
104
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Well, he is. That's disgraceful.
105
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Here's Paul Molito having a sensational year amidst Toronto's terrible season.
106
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Toronto, the two-time defending world champion, six games under 500.
107
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
But it hasn't affected Molito, one of the game's great hitters, and I think a Hall of Famer.
108
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:48,000
He's hitting 3-44, 14 homers, 75 RBIs, and you want to hear a stat that'll knock your socks off.
109
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Molito has good speed, but he's up there in his 30s.
110
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
The right-hand hitter takes a pitch high, has tried to steal 20 times.
111
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
He's been successful 20 times.
112
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
What a year. The 1-0 is bounced to third.
113
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Boggs feels. Fire is to Mattingly, scooped up by Donnie on a low throw.
114
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And Perez has a 1-2-3 pretty play by Mattingly.
115
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Three up, three down at the end of a half.
116
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
The Blue Jays nothing, and the Yankees coming about.
117
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
It's a matter of pride. It's a matter of trust.
118
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
We're your Ford dealer. You can count on us.
119
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Look at what we've done. Look at what we've won.
120
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
We won back America. You're a Ford dealer.
121
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And we're never gonna give it back.
122
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
The number one selling small car is Ford Escort.
123
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Escort LX comes loaded with air, cassette, and a standard driver's airbag.
124
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
One thing you don't get with Escort is just one choice.
125
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
You get four.
126
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Escort 3-door, 4-door, 5-door, or wagon. Just $11,095.
127
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000
That's manufacturer's suggested retail price with package 321M.
128
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Title and taxes extra.
129
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Ford Escort. Four choices, one low price.
130
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
See your Tri-State quality Ford dealer today.
131
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Right-hander Pat Henkin, the number one pitcher by far on the Toronto staff.
132
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
He's had a terrific year. 13-8 and he already had 3.20.
133
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
And in the American League, circa 1994, 3.20 is brilliant.
134
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
23 games in starts. 169 innings, 151 hits.
135
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
18 less hits.
136
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
That inning's pitch and tremendous control.
137
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
He's walked 56, about three per nine innings.
138
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Three on the nose.
139
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
He struck on 143, so a much better than two-to-one ratio.
140
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Maybe a two-and-a-half to one ratio.
141
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And the league hitting just 239. All of his numbers are great.
142
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
A right-hander who throws extremely hard.
143
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
A lot of high fastballs and a breaking ball.
144
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
The pitch to Bologna is fouled off high fastball.
145
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
On the count of one.
146
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Boy, you ought to listen and I'll tell you,
147
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
the batting averages are the top of the Yankee order.
148
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I mean, is there any wonder that the Yankees, whose pitching is pretty good
149
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
and their defense is very good,
150
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
are in first place by seven games and have been in first place
151
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
since sometime in May.
152
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Bologna, the leadoff hitter at 3.11, one homer and 36 RBIs.
153
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And the next two hitters are hitting 3.41 and 3.64.
154
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
And Danny Jarble, the fourth hitter, doesn't hit for a high average.
155
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
The pitch to Bologna is a strike, but certainly has the power numbers.
156
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And then after that, there are two more 300 hitters and a 290 hitter.
157
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
The 0-2 to Bologna fouled off high fastball.
158
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
So when the Yankees come up, of their first seven men,
159
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,000
in effect six are 300 or more, much more, some of them.
160
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
And one guy hitting in the two fifties, but with great power.
161
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
It'll be an 0-2 to Bologna.
162
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
The breaking ball is inside on the count of one and two.
163
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Basically that's what Henkin shows you.
164
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
A good live fastball and a big curveball.
165
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
It'll be a 1-2. Cut on him.
166
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
A fastball Bologna couldn't hit.
167
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Now he couldn't hit it, but if he had hit it, he would have popped it up.
168
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
In a way, and only in the variety of pitches, not the way they pitch,
169
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,000
but in the pitches they throw, Henkin is very much like a right-handed Sid Fernandez.
170
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Bologna swung at a pitch.
171
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
He almost had a jump to swing at, so there's one away.
172
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
And here's Bog, but Henkin throws hard, so you don't have a lot of time to make up your mind.
173
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Bogs is hitting at 3.41.
174
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:05,000
11 homers and 54 RBIs, and he takes a pitch inside one and 0.
175
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Why is there somebody warming in the Yankee pulpin?
176
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
It's a left-hander.
177
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I think it's Abbott.
178
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
The pitch to Bogs is bounced to short.
179
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Schofield throws out Bogs, and there are two away.
180
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I get the feeling that this is almost like the last game,
181
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
because there's a possibility they would use other players,
182
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
or use pitchers, maybe starters in a relief role,
183
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
which would be dangerous because if the strike is averted,
184
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,000
well then what happens if you use Scott Kamenicki, who's supposed to pitch tomorrow, who pitches tomorrow?
185
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Is there any chance it would be averted?
186
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Any chance that fear and ravage on behalf of their representatives would say,
187
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
come on, let's settle this thing, it's easy.
188
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
The pitch to O'Neill is a breaking ball.
189
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Hey, they overshift. O'Neill's a guy who goes to left field a lot.
190
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
They overshift on him.
191
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Schofield's shortstop is on the first base side a second.
192
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
The third baseman Sprague plays shortstop, and the pitch is a strike.
193
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
O'Neill at 364, 21 homers, 83 RBIs.
194
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I think there's a pretty good shift on him, because a lot of his hits go exactly where Schofield is standing.
195
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
There's a strike, and the count is one and two.
196
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Two outs, no one on, bottom the first, no score.
197
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And you know a lot of his hits go kind of where Sprague is standing,
198
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
between second and third.
199
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Pitch is chopped to the right side.
200
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Alomar feels on the outfield grass, Wurl's throws in time, and that'll do it.
201
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
The Yankees three up and three down.
202
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
We have played one inning at the stadium, Toronto nothing, the Yankees nothing.
203
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:55,000
We go to the second.
204
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
And here's Joe Carter to lead it off, the CBS Evening News.
205
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
They'll talk about the strike tonight with Dan Rather and Connie Chung,
206
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
where your world comes together.
207
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Carter having his normal good year.
208
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
This guy is Mr. Consistency. His name is Leon Consistency.
209
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
He gets 100 RBIs every year, this year no exception.
210
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Hitting a 270 pitch outside, 26 homers, 102 RBIs.
211
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
We can look this up, but to show you how consistent he's been,
212
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I would say in the last eight years Carter has had less than 100 RBIs once.
213
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
The 1-0, cut on a miss, and I think that year he had something like 96 or 97 RBIs.
214
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
He's a great run producer.
215
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Now the streak started in 86 with Cleveland when he drove in 121,
216
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
and the only time he hasn't driven over 100, 1988, he had 98.
217
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000
The pitch has looped a short, caught by Gallego, one away, split finger.
218
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:02,000
How many years would that be, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, eight years.
219
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And one year he had 97, 98.
220
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
That's pretty close, huh?
221
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And he knew there was a strike coming.
222
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:15,000
He knew the date, and he's driven in 25 runs in his last 29 games to reach 100.
223
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
He has 102 and about 50 games to go.
224
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Here's John Olrud takes inside.
225
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Olrud is not having the kind of year I'm sure that he or Toronto thought he would have,
226
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
not a bad year, but after last year, hitting a 293, 12 homers, 67 RBIs,
227
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
he lines up base at the right field.
228
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
There's the first base run of the game, a clean line drive single by Olrud to right.
229
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Olrud does not run, not run a lick like the others.
230
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Here's Mike Huff.
231
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Huff is filling in in center field today.
232
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Having a pretty good year, he's a right-hand hitter, a line drive type hitter,
233
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000
but he's hitting a 302, three homers, and 24 RBIs.
234
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And he's been the hottest blue jays since the All-Star break, John.
235
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
18 hits in 50 at bats, that's 360.
236
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
One thing though, Toronto has had Carter and White in the outfield of course,
237
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
in right and center pitch is outside, but Mike, they have tried 800 guys in left field.
238
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
And they're big names, there's one thing to brag about your big names in the minors,
239
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
but it doesn't mean they're going to hit in the majors.
240
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
That's why I usually don't listen.
241
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I'm really from Missouri when it comes to rookies.
242
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The 1-0 way outside, the count to an 0 fastball.
243
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Carlos Delgado down, Sean Green down, they tried them both in left field.
244
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Remember the April that Delgado had?
245
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Oh, unbelievable.
246
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
One on, one out, top of the second, no score pitch is low on the count, 3-0.
247
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Let me give you Melito's numbers.
248
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
He's 9-4 with an ERA of 4.03.
249
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,000
21 games in starts, 145 innings, 129 hits, so 16 less hits than innings pitch, that's very good.
250
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
53 walks, about 3.5 for 9 innings, pretty good.
251
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
A 2-1 ratio walks to strikeouts, there's a strike, exactly what you want.
252
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
53 walks, 105 Ks, and the league hitting just 239 often.
253
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Melito's been, oh no, a very good pitcher.
254
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Just a step away from being excellent.
255
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
It'll be a 3-1 to Huff.
256
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
The pitch is fouled away for Space High.
257
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Well, Mike, she loves the guy who gets her hot pretzels.
258
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Keeps his cool and is into leather.
259
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:43,000
English leather, the official cologne of the New York Yankees baseball radio network, available at a pathmark near you.
260
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You know, the 3-2 to Huff.
261
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
High, fastball, ball four.
262
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,000
So Toronto has something building here in the second, a one-out single by O'Rourke, followed by a walk to Huff.
263
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
And here's Darnell Coles.
264
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Coles at just 210, four homers and 13 RBI's.
265
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Well, this is kind of a strange-looking lineup for a two-time world championship team.
266
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
This is not a great lineup.
267
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Oh, and down to four hitters in their lineup.
268
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
The pitch to Coles has a strike.
269
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
And that hasn't even been their problem.
270
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Problem's been pitching.
271
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Yeah.
272
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
They don't score a lot of runs, though, either. They're way down.
273
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I mean, you wouldn't think that Toronto down in runs, but this year, yes.
274
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,000
And their pitching has been, hey, that's why they're six games under 500.
275
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Baseball is the truest sport. The O'Rourke cut out a miss.
276
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
You can't fool anyone in baseball because you play every day.
277
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
So if you don't hit and score runs, they'll find it out.
278
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
And if you don't have pitching, they really will find that out.
279
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
You play every day.
280
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
You have to do it on spirit, hustle, drive, determination, guts.
281
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
You have to do it on talent. You don't have talent, you can't win.
282
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
The O2 is a split or low, one or two.
283
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Scooter.
284
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
The Phil Rizzotto story, a 45-minute video collectible that every Yankee fan will treasure.
285
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000
The tape covers the Scooter from Miss San Laudas in Brooklyn
286
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
up to his recent election into the Hall of Fame.
287
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
The cost, only $24.95.
288
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
The 1-2, shy 3, fastball outside corner.
289
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Kroc Cole's looking.
290
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Now to order with a credit card, call 1-800-9-YANKS-9.
291
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
What's that number again?
292
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
1-800-9-YANKS-9.
293
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
So if it's 1-800, it's toll free.
294
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Yes.
295
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Great.
296
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
And of course, the executive producer is Joe Villalon.
297
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I didn't tell you last night that...
298
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
No, Joe and I worked together on a Yankee magazine show for a couple of years.
299
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
That was a great show.
300
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
We changed his name, of course.
301
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Joe, leave me alone.
302
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Here's Ed Sprague.
303
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
He's hitting a 2-38, 10 homers and 41 RBIs.
304
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,000
There are Ducks on the Bond, Ole Root at second, and Huff at first.
305
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Two men out, and Melito deals fastball high 1-0.
306
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
I think it was Cheers, Mash, and then Yankee magazine with John Sterling
307
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
in terms of just great TV programs.
308
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
I understand that, and I think in the ratings as well.
309
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I think it reflected.
310
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,000
The 1-0.
311
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
It's hit in the air to Sennavia.
312
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Bernie Williams back, away back in deep center.
313
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
It is over his head and off the very top of the wall.
314
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Two runs will score.
315
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Sprague on his way to third, and he'll be there with a triple.
316
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,000
A two-run triple for Sprague that just missed being a three-run home run.
317
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
He hit the top of the wall, 408 feet away.
318
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
And Toronto has a 2-0 lead.
319
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
You know, Bernie went back on the ball like he was going to catch it.
320
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And then all of a sudden he must have realized, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.
321
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And the ball hit off the very top of the center field wall.
322
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I think he gave up on the ball, John.
323
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I think he thought it was really going to be out.
324
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
I don't think he really had any choice.
325
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
I don't know.
326
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
He did turn the wrong way, first of all.
327
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
He was looking over his right shoulder, and the ball was really over his left shoulder.
328
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
And then he finally turned around to watch the ball go over the wall,
329
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
and it hit near the top of the wall.
330
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Boy, right near.
331
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
That borders the catchers, and he takes a strike.
332
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Borders at 253, three homers, 26 RBI's.
333
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,000
So the Yanks, who hit a little slump, which figures after how hot they were,
334
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
are behind here, 2-0.
335
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Hicken, there's a check-swing tap right back to the mound.
336
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Perez throws to first in time.
337
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
However, Toronto gets two runs on two hits.
338
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
The two-run triple by Sprague.
339
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
They leave one at the end of an inning and a half, 2-0 Toronto.
340
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Well, the Yankees trail by a deuce on the two-run triple.
341
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Hey, listen, they're very fortunate.
342
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
That ball was at the dead center, just to the right field side of the 408 foot sign,
343
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
and hit the very top of the wall.
344
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
That didn't miss by an inch or so, being a three-run home run.
345
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
So Yankees should be thankful for that.
346
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Danny Chartable is in the lineup after missing a game or two, hitting at 257, 18 homers, 64 RBI's.
347
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
He swings and lines one to left center field.
348
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
On the run is Coles. He makes the catch, and there is one away.
349
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Danny hit it hard, and Coles ran it down in left center.
350
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Hit it too hard, really. It hung up there and allowed Coles to make the catch.
351
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Well, we go to the bottom of the second, and that means it's time for the members only.
352
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Mattingly getting a good hand here as he's announced.
353
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
In the American League, only three other games won this afternoon.
354
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Milwaukee, Detroit, 115 start, but it's raining, so they held that up when it started.
355
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Wegman against Moore tonight.
356
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Boston at Baltimore, Sealy against Rhodes, and on the coast, Seattle at Oakland.
357
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Johnson against Darling.
358
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Mattingly takes a strike.
359
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Donnie at 305, six homers and 51 RBI's.
360
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
That could be the last game of the season.
361
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
And follows it away on the count of one, two.
362
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Seattle at Oakland, 10-05. That's the latest starting game.
363
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And when that game is over, there's no settlement.
364
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
That's when the strike begins.
365
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
In the National League, the Dodgers are leading.
366
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Cincinnati won nothing bottom of the fourth.
367
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Tim Wallach is 23rd. Martinez against Rio.
368
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
This one will start in about five minutes.
369
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000
San Diego at Houston. Hamilton against Swindell.
370
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
The 0-2 has hit up the middle and through to center.
371
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Bielbrough base hit for Mattingly.
372
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:39,000
So both left-hand hitting first baseman batting fifth single.
373
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
With one out in the second inning to put their first men on board.
374
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
And here's Mike Stanley having just a marvelous year.
375
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Hitting at 302, 17 homers and 57 RBI's.
376
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
5-05 start at Mile High, Atlanta at Colorado.
377
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Maddox going for win number 16 against Painter.
378
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
And then the rest 7-35 starts the Mets at Philadelphia.
379
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Hockamay against Valenzuela.
380
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Montreal at Pittsburgh. Henry against Smith.
381
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,000
And St. Louis at Florida. Tewksbury against Rapp.
382
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Strike on the inside to Stanley.
383
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
And that is the members only.
384
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Stop by Sturm today for a look at this year's men's fashions from the aforementioned members only.
385
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
A wide array of the ultimate in today's outerwear and sportswear.
386
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,000
They're all designed for maximum comfort without sacrificing style.
387
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,000
And remember, Stearns and members only urge you to do clothes and not drugs.
388
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Henkin deals. Stanley takes a pitch up high.
389
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And the count one and one.
390
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Mike and I looking in the upper deck to our right.
391
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
That should be like the Juneau and Blayton first base and there are let's say little league groups there.
392
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
The one-one foul all the way.
393
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And they have their let's say leaders or scout masters, whatever, leading them in kind of unified clapping.
394
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Terrific. They're so into it. What a great age.
395
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
What a terrific age in your baseball fan. That's the best.
396
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,000
And they have all their little blue t-shirts and they're all looking like and they're all clapping the same way.
397
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
It's almost like a shark in front of them.
398
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Well, I'll tell you why I was laughing. It was an old Red Skelton movie that I have in my racks.
399
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,000
It'll be a one-two to Stanley. Swung on and hit in the air to right field and deep.
400
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Carter back. He's there on the track near the wall, makes the catch and there are two ways. Stanley just missed.
401
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
You want to get a copy of this in one of those stores that have old movies.
402
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Show it for your kids. They love it. It's called the Fuller Brushman.
403
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
There's a little skit with Skelton and Campfire girls who are clapping in a certain way to douse out a fire.
404
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:08,000
It reminded me of. So two way. And here is Bernie Williams at 291, 12 homers and 57 RBIs.
405
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Toronto leads at two nothing, bottom of the second. Maddingly at first, two men retired.
406
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Bernie batting left handed against the right handed Henkin.
407
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
How about this crowd, John?
408
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Good job, huh? It's a marvelous crowd for a week of the Yankees.
409
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Have average in the last nine home games. They have average a little over 40.
410
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,000
I think it's 363,000 for nine games. What would you say today? Maybe 30?
411
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Yeah, definitely 30, 35 right in that era.
412
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000
An excellent crowd and the owners walking away from all this.
413
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
What did they get in Colorado last night? 60, 70?
414
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,000
That'll be a one-oh to Bernie. It's foul back.
415
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
What about the players though? Yes, I'm not taking sides.
416
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I want them to compromise. I know a way to do it and so do you.
417
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
And the sad thing is, so do they.
418
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000
They know how to compromise. It's right there in front of them.
419
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Give both parties something.
420
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Give the players free agency sooner and give back arbitration.
421
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
That'll get it done.
422
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Immediately, tomorrow at nine, pitch outside.
423
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:25,000
If I read the small print, Atlanta played in Colorado last night.
424
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
They drew 65,000 people.
425
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:37,000
The people are telling baseball, here's our money, please take it.
426
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
It'll be a two-one to Bernie.
427
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Henk and Eels, it's bounced or short. Schofield will take it himself.
428
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Steps on the bag and that ends the inning.
429
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000
No runs, one hit and one left.
430
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
At the end of two, Toronto two and the Yankees nothing.
431
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Dick Schofield.
432
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Dick Schofield leads off for Toronto.
433
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
We go to the top of the third, two-nothing Blue Jays.
434
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
The pitch fouled away.
435
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Fastball.
436
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Another count, 0-1.
437
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
2-2-0 for Toronto, 0-1-0 for the Yanks.
438
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Two runs, tripled by Ed Sprague.
439
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
The difference, and here with a play-by-play as we hit the third, is Michael Kay.
440
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Thank you, John.
441
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Home plate umpire Matt Winans calls time.
442
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Schofield stepped out.
443
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Boggs even with the bag at third, about 10 feet off the line, the 0-1.
444
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Swung on ground ball up the middle, base it into center field.
445
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Bernie Williams will field and he'll flip it back into the infield.
446
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
So Schofield on with a leadoff single.
447
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Schofield in the leadoff position for the Blue Jays because Devon White.
448
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000
With a strained left Achilles and sore right and he's missed a couple of games.
449
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
And he's sitting out again this afternoon.
450
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
He's with the ball club.
451
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
He's not on the DL, but he's not in the starting lineup.
452
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Here's Roberto Alomar, who really dogged it in the first inning.
453
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
He hit a tap or back to the mound and decided to walk the first base.
454
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I guess he's having his own work stoppage.
455
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
The pitch to Alomar is a little bit low, want to know.
456
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Hitting 308, eight home runs and 38 runs batted in against the Yankees career.
457
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Outstanding numbers, 335, four home runs and 25 rebbeys.
458
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000
He's so brilliantly talented that when you see him dogged down the first base like that,
459
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,000
it gets somewhat annoying.
460
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Perez fires over the first and Schofield back.
461
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,000
This is a guy who many people say,
462
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
might be the best player in baseball, even better than Ken Griffey Jr.
463
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
in terms of the things that he can do.
464
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And then to see him jog down the first base, well why?
465
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Here's the 1-0, low again, 2-0.
466
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Melito is missed with two splitters.
467
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
The lower deck here at Yankee Stadium completely full,
468
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
as is the second deck in the third deck while the wings are empty.
469
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,000
But good crowds, really from the foul pole on to the other foul pole in foul territory.
470
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
As always, the right field bleachers packed.
471
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,000
The 2-0, there's a strike with a fastball on the outside corner, 2-1.
472
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Sometimes at the top, Melito into throwing the fastball when he's struggling with the splitter.
473
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
And when he had that six game winning streak, the reason he had it
474
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
was he was featuring the fastball early in the game
475
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
and getting ahead in the count. He seemed to always be ahead, 0-2, 1-2,
476
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
and then he would go to the splitter later in the game and later in the count.
477
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Perez fires the first, and Mattingly has to make a diving stop
478
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,000
to save an error to Perez, and that's why you hear the crowd applauding,
479
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
recognizing an outstanding play. Had a dive to his right,
480
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
went down to the ground, rolled over and had the baseball.
481
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Schofield leads, the 2-1, fastball high, 3-1.
482
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000
So Perez getting himself into trouble.
483
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000
If you watch Alomar, then you've got Molitor, Carter, and O'Rourke coming up.
484
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Yankees lead the American League East by seven games.
485
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
The pitch to Alomar swung on and fell back to the screen, 3-2.
486
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
The Blue Jays come in 17 games behind the Yankees,
487
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
and it would take a little bit more than a miracle.
488
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Really on the next level for miracle for the Blue Jays,
489
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
if there isn't a strike tomorrow, to catch the Yankees.
490
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000
17 games behind on August 11th, not quite doable.
491
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,000
The 3-2 swung on and popped foul behind the plate into the upper deck.
492
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
That's 18 games in the loss column.
493
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
So the eighties are 70 and 42, and the Blue Jays,
494
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
two-time defending champions, are 54 and 60.
495
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
The Red Sox right behind the Jays at 54 and 61,
496
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
17 and a half games behind the Yankees,
497
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:08,000
and the Tigers are at 53 and 61, 18 games off the pace.
498
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Here's the 3-2, swung on and lined to right field.
499
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
O'Neill is right there. He makes the play.
500
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Schofield plays it halfway. He'll jog back to first.
501
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
So Alomar is now 0-2.
502
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
The Blue Jays' big problem this year, if you look at it,
503
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
they've had a lot of problems. This is a big one.
504
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
They can't win on the road.
505
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000
They're 21 and 34, and at the Sky Dome, they're 33 and 26.
506
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
They've also struggled tremendously against Eastern teams.
507
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Within their division, they're 12 and 22.
508
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,000
They're 24 and 25 against the Central,
509
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
and 18 and 13 against the West.
510
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Now compare the Yankees.
511
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,000
The Yankees are 33 and 23 at home, 37 and 19 on the road.
512
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,000
They're 19 and 13 against the East, 25 and 14 against the Central,
513
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
and 26 and 15 against the West.
514
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Here's Molitor.
515
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
It's the Molitor. It's a fastball up and away 1-0.
516
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
He grounded to third. That was in the first inning.
517
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
He's 0-1.
518
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Buck Showalter said that if he had to show a kid how to hit,
519
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,000
show kid films, this is the guy he would show.
520
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
He said this is the best pure hitter in baseball,
521
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
just in terms of mechanics and the way to do it at the plate.
522
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
The 1-0, fastball high 2-0.
523
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
He's hitting 3-43 at the age of 37.
524
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
John mentioned 20 of 20 in stolen base attempts.
525
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
14 home runs and 75 runs batted in.
526
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000
The fact that he is the DH for the Blue Jays
527
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
will probably keep him active for a very long time.
528
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
He has not lost a thing.
529
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
If anything, he's gotten better.
530
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000
The 2-0 swung on and fouled away on the right side.
531
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
And that will make the first row of the upper deck
532
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,000
down the right field line.
533
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
The reason he's considered such a good hitter
534
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,000
doesn't stride, doesn't have a big looping swing.
535
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
As the ball is approaching, his bat is still
536
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
resting on his right shoulder.
537
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
And he's got such quick hands, it's all with the hands.
538
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
It's impossible to fool Paul Molitor
539
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
because he doesn't take a stride.
540
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
He just hits from the crouch and swings.
541
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
And there he swings and lines one into center field.
542
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Bernie Williams heading over to right center.
543
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Schofield, who was running, has to hustle back to first.
544
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And Williams makes a nice throw to Mattingly.
545
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
But Schofield slides back in ahead of the throw.
546
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
So two away.
547
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Today's nationwide insurance agent of the game
548
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000
is Larry Montobe at 27-17.
549
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Check that, 22-17,
550
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Hillside Avenue, New Hyde Park, New York.
551
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Molitor just hit a bullet to right center.
552
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
And Bernie Williams ran it down.
553
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Here's Joe Carter.
554
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Carter lined out to Mike Gallego in the second inning.
555
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
He's 0-1. He taps the top of his helmet,
556
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,000
which means he wants Larry McCoy, the second-base umpire,
557
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,000
to move from the shortstop side to the second-base side.
558
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And the umpire complies.
559
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
So two down, one on. The Jays lead 2-0 top of the third.
560
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
The pitch to Carter is a breaking ball strike
561
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
on the outside corner, 0-1.
562
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Carter's at 2-70, 26 home runs, and 102 runs batted in.
563
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
They play Carter to pull.
564
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Bernie Williams shaded toward left center field.
565
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Polonia deep and close to the line and left.
566
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Fastball is inside, 1-1.
567
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000

with a credit card called 1-800-9-Yanks-9.
572
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
That's 1-800-9-Yanks-9.
573
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Perez fires the first in Schofield back
574
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,000
ahead of Mattingly's sweep tag.
575
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
If there's a game tomorrow, it'll be tomorrow evening.
576
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Our pregame would be at 6.45, game time at 7.05.
577
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Scott Kamenicki, 8-6, 3.76 against Dave Stewart,
578
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
7-8, 5.87.
579
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Runner goes, the 1-1 is high.
580
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
The throw to second is not in time.
581
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Schofield got a great jump.
582
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Stolen base for Dick Schofield.
583
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000
The throw by Stanley was high, but that was stolen off Perez.
584
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000
That was a great pitch for Stanley to try to throw him out.
585
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Fastball, so he was coming out of his crouch.
586
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Fastball high, and he fired high to Pat Kelly covering,
587
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000
and Schofield was on the bag by the time Kelly came down
588
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
to tag.
589
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000
So now runner in scoring position for Carter.
590
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Jay's already lead 2-0.
591
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Schofield with a big lead at second, the 2-1.
592
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Fastball up and in, 3-1.
593
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Against the Yankees lifetime, well, Carter's almost had a
594
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:54,000
career year, 26 home runs and 80 runs batted in.
595
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
I remember a couple years he was with San Diego.
596
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Take those years away.
597
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
3-1 swung on him, blooped in the right field.
598
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Mattingly going back into foul territory, makes the catch
599
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
backhanded to end the inning.
600
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Nice play by Don Mattingly, a quick reaction,
601
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
and he makes the grab.
602
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
So for the Blue Jays, no runs, one hit, no errors, and one
603
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
left at the end of 2-1, Toronto to the Yankees, nothing.
604
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Well, the people at the scoreboard, very clever.
605
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
The song, Should I Stay or Should I Go?
606
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:33,000
I think the final song today should be Don't Leave Me
607
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Like That.
608
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000
We'll see what they play.
609
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Here's Mike Gallego, pillied off Yankees trail, 2-0.
610
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
We're in the bottom of the third inning.
611
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
And the bottom of the third inning at home, well, that
612
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
means it's time for the Delta home run contest inning.
613
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
The Yankees hit a home run, John Perry of East Strasburg,
614
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Pennsylvania.
615
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
The first pitch is swung on and fouled back.
616
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Can win a pair of round trip Delta airline tickets to
617
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Dallas, Texas.
618
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
And the Yankees hit a grand slam this inning.
619
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Well, John can win a European Delta Dream vacation for 2.
620
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Good luck to John.
621
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
First home run wins, the 0-1.
622
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Breaking fits, low and away, 1-1.
623
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
So the Yankees certainly have their work cut out for them
624
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
because Henkin has just a 3.20 ERA, and Yankees trail,
625
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
2-0, the 1-1.
626
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Swung on and lined right at Alomar.
627
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:25,000
He was situated perfectly, one away.
628
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Here's Pat Kelly.
629
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Kelly hitting 2.78, three home runs and 39 runs.
630
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,000
And Diego was at 2.41, six home runs and 41 rubies.
631
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Blue Jays 2-3 and 0, and the Yankees 0-1 and 0.
632
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Bottom of the third, one out, nobody on.
633
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Sprague even with the bag at third, about eight feet off
634
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,000
the line.
635
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,000
It looks like Kelly is low, 1-0.
636
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Kelly said he plans to stay in the New York area for a while,
637
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
even if there is a strike.
638
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
He might stop down for the talk show at one time.
639
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
The 1-0, swung on and fouled back.
640
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
1-1, we mentioned that if there isn't a strike,
641
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
we'll be here tomorrow evening with the Yankees against the
642
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Jays if there is a strike.
643
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Well, John and I will be down at Mickey Mantle's restaurant
644
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
to begin a talk show, which would be on for the most part
645
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000
whenever the Yankees were going to play, 7-10,
646
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
the first three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night,
647
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
7-10.
648
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000
The 1-1, a bunt down the third baseline, a beauty,
649
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
charging his spraigue and he eats it.
650
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Pat Kelly with a perfect bunt.
651
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Sprague knew that he had to barehand the ball.
652
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
He tried to and bobbled, and Kelly was way past the bag
653
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000
at that point.
654
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
So a bunt-base hit for Pat Kelly.
655
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Here's Lewis Polonia.
656
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000
He struck out on a high fastball in the first inning.
657
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
He's having a very solid season, hitting 3-10,
658
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
a home run and 36 runs batted in.
659
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Sprague comes in on the grass for Polonia.
660
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
See, against a righty like Kelly, had to play at least
661
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
at the bag because Kelly can hit the ball past him.
662
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
The pitch to Polonia is a breaking ball away.
663
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Polonia can do it as well, but he's got to slap it that way.
664
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
And it gives Sprague a little bit more reaction time.
665
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
So the bunt-base hit by Kelly, his second,
666
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:30,000
or the Yankees' second base hit of the afternoon.
667
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:38,000
The 1-0, and Polonia calls time.
668
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:44,000
The scoreboard crew really has a lot of pretty clever songs
669
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
that have already been played, and they have a lot of songs
670
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
that are going to be played throughout the day.
671
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
And I've just got a list of them.
672
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000
They're so clever over there.
673
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Henkin fires over and Kelly back.
674
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Should I stay or should I go?
675
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000
That's the one I just heard.
676
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Or We Can Work It Out is going to be next.
677
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
End of the world as we know it.
678
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
The pitch to Polonia slapped into left field.
679
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Cole's going back, still going back.
680
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
He'll have to play it up against the wall.
681
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It goes into the corner.
682
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Kelly goes to third, and they're going to hold them right there.
683
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Polonia's on second with a double.
684
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:28,000
He gave it a ride right into the left field corner.
685
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
You know, Louie does have pretty good power,
686
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
and that time he hit the ball over Cole's head.
687
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
He also hit it down the line, and the ball just stayed in.
688
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,000
You know, at the very top of the wall after a bounce.
689
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
So the Yankees have the tying runs on,
690
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
second and third with just one out.
691
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
They have two cracks at a base that would tie it with Boggs and O'Neill.
692
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Here's the pitch to Boggs, swung on and fouled back.
693
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Just finishing up the list of songs the scoreboard crew has on tap.
694
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Vacation, couple days off, bye-bye love, go away, see you later, alligator,
695
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:10,000
and don't go breaking my heart.
696
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Some of the musical messages.
697
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
The O'One is slap foul on the left side.
698
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Into the lower deck, it's O and 2.
699
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Boggs grounded out to short in the first inning,
700
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:31,000
hitting 340, 11 home runs and 54 runs batted in.
701
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Great speed on the bases for the Yankees.
702
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Kelly at third and Polonia at second.
703
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000
One out, Yankees trail 2-0.
704
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000
We are in the bottom of the third.
705
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,000
The hits are even at three apiece.
706
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
The pitch to Boggs, swung on and fouled away, again up her deck, third base side.
707
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,000
You know, you can't beat the great taste of Snapple's all-natural lemonade,
708
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,000
fruit punch, grapeade, mango madness, and kiwi strawberry juice drink, Snapple.
709
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:05,000
America's all-natural beverages made from the best stuff on earth.
710
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:12,000
On deck, Poloneo.
711
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,000
The Blue Jays pretty much played Boggs, honestly, not too much of a shift.
712
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,000
The O2, way high with a fastball 1 and 2, but the one thing they have to watch out for,
713
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Dornell Coles is extremely shallow in left field, and Boggs has great power that way.
714
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
He can really get burned out there.
715
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:37,000
He just got burned by Polonia, and you're right, he is way shallow to cut off the line drive hit.
716
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
The 1-2, swung on and drilled to center field.
717
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,000
That should get a run in.
718
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Huff charging in, Kelly is tagging.
719
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Here's the throw, they'll be cut off by O'Rourke.
720
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Kelly slides in, and the Yankees have cut it 2-1 on Wade Boggs' sack fly to center.
721
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Boy, if there was going to be an appeal play, there should be there.
722
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:08,000
You're allowed to leave when the ball strikes the glove of the off-fielders, so he can't juggle it.
723
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:15,000
And then if Kelly left at the right time, he just left at the right time.
724
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:25,000
It's tough to watch two things at once, but I had a better chance, and I'll be darned if he didn't leave a tad early.
725
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,000
I thought so anyway.
726
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Anyway, once the pitch is made, that's the end of the appeal.
727
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Here's Paul O'Neill, the pitch to O'Neill, a breaking ball outside 1-0.
728
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
O'Neill grounded to second.
729
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,000
That was in the first, hitting.363, leading the American League in that category.
730
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,000
21 home runs, and 83 runs batted in.
731
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,000
With a runner on base, they do not shift as drastically.
732
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Well, they can't really, because if Sprague was playing where he was playing with no one on base in the first inning,
733
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
well, then Pallogna would be able to steal third base easily.
734
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:08,000
This time, I guess Sprague would be 20 feet off the line, and Schofield is up the middle, but on the shortstop side, not the second base side.
735
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Engen fires the second with Schofield covering, and Pallogna dives back.
736
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Also, they had that same shift, and O'Neill would pointedly hit a ground ball through to get a run in.
737
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Two outs, no one on. You really want him to go to left field.
738
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Engen sets the 1-0, way outside 2-0.
739
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,000
He does have Tartabal on deck. First base is open.
740
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,000
I don't think he's going to come into O'Neill with anything really fat.
741
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Why do that? You'd rather have the righty against the righty.
742
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Although Tartabal did hit a shot in the second inning that was caught in left field.
743
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Here's the 2-0. There's a strike, a fastball on the outside part of the plate, 2-1.
744
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:03,000
In his last 11 games, O'Neill is 17-41. That's a 4-15 clip.
745
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,000
But if the season ends today, he will probably win the American League batting title.
746
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
That's not the way he wants to win it.
747
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:18,000
The 2-1, outside 3-1.
748
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
Yankees trail 2-1, we're in the bottom of the third inning.
749
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Blue Jays 2-3, and O'The Yankees 1-3 at 0.
750
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Jays with two runs in the second, the Yankees with one in already in the third.
751
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Bologna's on second with two outs.
752
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,000
The 3-1 to O'Neill. Fastball high and away he walks.
753
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
That wasn't intentional, but it was close.
754
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:49,000
And here's Tartabal.
755
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Danny Tartabal.
756
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Tartabal, who was hit by a pitch in the first game of the Orioles series,
757
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
got out the last two games, and his left elbow is heavily wrapped,
758
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
but they took x-rays, x-rays were negative.
759
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:07,000
He was just severely bruised.
760
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,000
He was hit by Mark Eichhorn.
761
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:16,000
Here's the picks to Tartabal. Swung and fouled back to the screen, 0-1-1.
762
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Tartabal is at 2-56, 18 home runs, and 64 runs batted in.
763
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Against the Blue Jays lifetime, not great numbers, 11 home runs and 41 runs batted in.
764
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Just 74 hits.
765
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Spring is deep at third, but not very close to the line.
766
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:50,000
And the outfield there straight away.
767
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Here's the 0-1. Fastball up and in, 1-1.
768
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:58,000
The Blue Jays tri-state quality four-dealers of the game are Ry Ford in Ry, New York,
769
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Haven Ford in Bound Brook, New Jersey,
770
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,000
and Griffin Ford of New Canaan in New Canaan, Connecticut.
771
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000
So we have three today, and we welcome Ed Schaefer and Alan Gora from Havens Ford.
772
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:21,000
The 1-1. Fastball inside, 2-1-1.
773
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,000
On deck, Don Mattingly.
774
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Polonia leads off second, O'Neill off first.
775
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,000
Henkin sets, checks Polonia, the 2-1.
776
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Swung out and hit deep to left field.
777
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,000
See ya, home run, and the Yankees lead 4-2.
778
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Oh, what a shot by Danny Tartabal.
779
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
You blink and you missed it. That's how hard he hit the ball.
780
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And it was in the lower deck in left field in a nanosecond.
781
00:49:51,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Home run Tartabal.
782
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,000
I was watching the monitor, Mike, just for a moment.
783
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:10,000
And they had the shot from the center field camera, so you see the ball coming into the hitter.
784
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Well, in that split second, it was a fastball over the middle.
785
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Tartabal hit it with a sweet spot, and as he swung, you knew it was a home run.
786
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Then the crack of the bat, and the ball wound up.
787
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,000
No 10, 12 rows back in the left field lower seats.
788
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Pitzom Mattingly is a strike right down the middle, 0-1-1. What a shot, John.
789
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:37,000
He has unbelievable power. That was the right pitch for him in the right spot, and he hit it out immediately.
790
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Pitzom Mattingly is swung on a miss.
791
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
John also, okay, also Danny Tartabal just got John Perry of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania,
792
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,000
a pair of round trip Delta airline tickets to Dallas, Texas.
793
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
So congratulations, John. He knew it was out right away.
794
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Pitzom Mattingly is way outside.
795
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:04,000
And he stayed at the plate, got out in such little time, then he went to his home run, tried at home plate.
796
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Pitzom Mattingly is swung on and Rick Fowle outside of first, it's 1-2.
797
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Also, Danny's home run, a Coors Light silver bullet blast, and the Yankees have themselves a 4-2 lead.
798
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
They've scored four runs here on the bottom of the third inning.
799
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:31,000
The 1-2, low and away, 2-2.
800
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Mattingly had a single of center field in the second inning. He's had a good year against the Jays this year, 9-3, 3-91.
801
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,000
The 2-2 swung on line drive right at the third baseman.
802
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Sprague almost hit him in the face, and that'll do it for the Yankees in the third, but they did quite enough.
803
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Four runs, three hits, and no errors, and none left.
804
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:54,000
At the end of three-full, the Yankees more, and the Blue Jays too.
805
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Well, Melito Perez has himself a lead now, thanks to Danny Tartabal's three-run home run.
806
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Yankees lead 4-2, 2-3 and 0 for the Jays, and 4-4 and 0 for the Yankees.
807
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
We go to the top of the fourth inning.
808
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,000
John O'Rourke will lead off against Melito Perez, and stepping back in behind the microphone, John Sterling.
809
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Thank you, Michael.
810
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:19,000
Perez deals, and O'Rourke bounces it foul.
811
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
And the count, 0-1.
812
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:26,000
O'Rourke ignited the Toronto two-run rally in the second.
813
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
He lined a single to right, and then after a walk,
814
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Ed Sprague at the very top of the center field wall for a two-run triple.
815
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000
And those are the two Toronto runs.
816
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Here's the 0-1. O'Rourke actually threatens months, something he'll never do in a lifetime,
817
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,000
and takes inside 1-1.
818
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
The pitch is hit the short.
819
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Gallego feels and throws out O'Rourke, and there's one away.
820
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Boy, Tartabal's home run was special.
821
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
I mean, there are very few home runs that when they leave the bat,
822
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
almost when he's finished with his follow-through, you know it's gone.
823
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Don Elkhorn, who's been playing for the Yankees,
824
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,000
has been playing for the Yankees for the Yankees for the Yankees.
825
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000
He's been playing for the Yankees for the Yankees for the Yankees.
826
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,000
When he's finished with his follow-through, you know it's gone.
827
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Don Elkhorn took one step back.
828
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,000
He was almost kind of like, why waste the energy, because that was out.
829
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
As he hit it.
830
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,000
I just happened to be looking at the monitor, and as the ball came and the bat swung,
831
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
you knew it was home run.
832
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,000
The pitch is a strike to Mike Huff.
833
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Huff walked after O'Rourke's single.
834
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000
That's at the stage where Sprague's two-run triple.
835
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Sprague's lead 4-2 in the fourth.
836
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
Pitch is bounced to third.
837
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Foxfields, even with the back, throws to Mattingly, and they're two-way.
838
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:54,000
This game has a little pace to it.
839
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
So two down, and here's Darnell Coles.
840
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
I know Mike told you about it.
841
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
If there is a strike, we begin tomorrow night at Mickey Mantles from 7 to 10.
842
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,000
We urge you to come down.
843
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:12,000
It's at Central Park South between the Plaza and the Samaritz on 59th,
844
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
between 5th and 6th.
845
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
There is a strike to Coles.
846
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,000
And if you don't come down, just tune to 77 on the AM.
847
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,000
WABC, our flagship here in New York, will take your phone calls,
848
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,000
and we'll talk about anything you want to talk about.
849
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,000
It'll be an 0-1 to Coles, check swing foul, and of course it'll be strike central.
850
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:39,000
We'll have the Fears and the Ravages talking about the ravages they are doing to the game.
851
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Strike central at Central Park.
852
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Very good, sir.
853
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,000
What nerve.
854
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
And what foolishness.
855
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,000
And the crowds are terrific in baseball.
856
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,000
So is the season.
857
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,000
It'll be an 0-2 to Coles.
858
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
A slow ground ball, too short.
859
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Gallego hustles, feels, fires, got him.
860
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Whoa.
861
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,000
And Coles got into a dance.
862
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:10,000
I'll tell you, the first base umpire, Rick Reed, almost called him safe.
863
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Gallego had trouble getting it out of the glove, and he was safe.
864
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
A good degree more.
865
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,000
No runs, no hits, no errors at the end of 3 1⁄2, 4-2, Yankees.
866
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Hey Yankees fans, take it from Dave Lennox.
867
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,000
If there's one thing we've got this year, it's plenty of relief staff.
868
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,000
So don't wait for your old air conditioner to wear down in the late innings.
869
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Replace it with a high-efficiency Lennox air conditioner.
870
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Independently owned and operated, Lennox dealers meet the toughest quality standards in the industry.
871
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,000
And in Rockland County, your ace reliever is EB Design Air.
872
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,000

873
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Call the pros at EB Design Air today.
874
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Let's be a Lennox.
875
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:58,000
We go to the bottom of the fourth.
876
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Here's Mike Stanley at the leadoff.
877
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:04,000
And the fastball strike on the outside corner from Hempkin.
878
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,000
2-3 and 0-4 Toronto.
879
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
4-4 and 0-4 the Yanks.
880
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
If you've tuned in late, Toronto scored their 2 in the second.
881
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,000
A single by Ulru to walk to Huff, and a 2-run triple by Ed Sprague off the top of the center field wall.
882
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,000
The 0-1 strike on the outside.
883
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
The count 0-2.
884
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Yankee scored 4 last inning.
885
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:26,000
With one out, a bunt single by Pat Kelly ignited it.
886
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Then Polonia doubled him to third on the left field line.
887
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Boggs scored one with a sack fly.
888
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
O'Neill walked and Tarnable crushed a 3-run home run into the lower seats.
889
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
And the Yankees have a 4-2 lead.
890
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,000
For Tarnable, 19th home run, and now he has 67 RBIs.
891
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Breaking ball is in the dirt to Stanley, now on the count 1-2.
892
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Stanley a 3-0-1, 17 homers and 57 RBIs, having his second consecutive outstanding year.
893
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,000
On the member's only scoreboard, there are just three games in the American League.
894
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:07,000
One of them is this afternoon, but it's raining, holding up play between Milwaukee and Detroit at Tiger Stadium.
895
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,000
The one missed.
896
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
If they start, it'll be Bill Wegman for the Brewers and Mike Moore for the Tigers.
897
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:19,000
Tonight, Boston's in Baltimore, Aaron Sealy for the Red Sox, Arthur Rhodes for the Birds,
898
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:28,000
and Seattle at Oakland, Randy Johnson against Ron Darling, the 2-2, high fastball 3-2.
899
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:39,000
That's the American, and the National has a full slate, or within one game of a full slate.
900
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,000
The line by Henkin, the 3-2, fouled away.
901
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,000
This afternoon, they're playing a businessman special in Cincinnati.
902
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,000
At the end of six innings of play, LA 2, the Reds nothing.
903
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
It's Ramon Martinez against Jose Rio.
904
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:59,000
Tim Wallach, it is 23rd home run for LA.
905
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000
San Diego has begun at Houston.
906
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Here is the line by Henkin, and the payoff is to Stanley.
907
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Struck him out swinging at a fastball, great fastball by Henkin.
908
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
So, one away.
909
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
At the end of one, San Diego leads the Astros 3-0.
910
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Derrick Bell hit his 14th at two-run home run.
911
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Joey Hamilton against Greg Swindell.
912
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Tonight, Atlanta's at Colorado, Greg Maddox and Lance Painter.
913
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:33,000
The Mets are in Philadelphia, Jason Huckamy against Fernando Valenzuela.
914
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Montreal's in Pittsburgh, Butch Henry against Zane Smith, and St. Louis in Florida, Bob Chicksberry and Pat Rapp.
915
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Anthony Williams swings and hits a long drive to right center.
916
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:51,000
On the run is Huff. He makes the catch in deep right center, and there are two away.
917
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Shortstop, Mike Gallego.
918
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Now, two away here is Mike Gallego.
919
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Head over to Stearns and see their wide selection of the ultimate in men's fashions from the leader, members only.
920
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,000
See the great array of members only jackets and sportswear.
921
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Clothes that are stylish as well as comfortable.
922
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Remember, Stearns and members only urge you to do clothes and not drugs.
923
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Gags lined a second his first time. He takes outside 1-0.
924
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
The Yankees have a 4-2 lead bottom of the fourth.
925
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Two outs going on, Gallego fouls it away, and that evens the counted 1-1.
926
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:51,000
I think I'll quote, because it's everything I've said, which may be why it appeals to me, but I think I'll quote a paragraph from Bill Madden's column in the news today.
927
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
The 1-1, cut on us, and the count 1-2.
928
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:01,000
And basically it's what can happen and should happen.
929
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:06,000
And the funny thing is, obviously, why not have it happen now? Why wait?
930
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,000
The 1-2 hit in the air to left center field.
931
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Donald Larronte is up in left center. He makes the catch.
932
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
And that'll do it.
933
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000
3-up and 3-down.
934
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:29,000
And at the end of four innings of play, the score of the Yankees, 4-2.
935
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
To the fifth.
936
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
And the pitch is outside to Ed Sprague.
937
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Sprague had the big blow for Toronto, and he just missed a three-run home run hitting the very top of the center field wall.
938
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Missed by a couple of inches of a three-run homer.
939
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Right-hand hitter. The 0-1 is a strike from Melito on the count 0-2.
940
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Sprague borders their 8-and-9 in the order, and then the top of the order in Dick Schofield.
941
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Three right-hand hitters here in the fifth.
942
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Sprague fouls it away, first base out.
943
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,000
It's time to enjoy the real brew taste of Snapple Ice Teas, regular in diet.
944
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Delicious flavors such as raspberry, mint, peach, orange, and more. Snapple Ice Teas made from the best stuff on earth.
945
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Sprague swings that missus, strike three.
946
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:46,000
So there's one away.
947
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:55,000
Borders a right-hand hitter, takes the pitch low outside, 1-0.
948
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:59,000
The Yankees with a 4-2 lead in the fifth. The pitch is a strike.
949
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:06,000
You know, Mike mentioned the songs that they are playing.
950
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
We want to give credit to our sound system, the very best there is here in Yankee Stadium.
951
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Pitch inside, and the people make it work.
952
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:24,000
John Franzone, Myra Jimenez, Larry Peterson, Eric Wolf, Jennifer Giandolone.
953
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:29,000
The pitch cut on and missed by Borders. I hope that's correct.
954
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Giandolone, John Lores, Jim Shutterly.
955
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,000
The pitch is hit on the ground foul outside of third.
956
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Lou Zahelsnik, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
957
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Paul Beckerly, Dave Gans, Brian McNulty.
958
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000
And in absentia, Anthony, the Pest, Defonzo.
959
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Nice nickname to have, the Pest.
960
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,000
Yeah. I've known people like that.
961
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,000
I haven't called them it, though.
962
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Not on the air, anyway. The 2-2 foul, though.
963
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Did you mention that Fierce with the MSG guys?
964
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Yes.
965
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,000
Why isn't he at a table with Richard Ravitch?
966
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,000
I don't know.
967
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Why is he spreading his spin to people?
968
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Yeah, that's all they do is spin, spin, spin.
969
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,000
I'd love to ask him.
970
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
So ridiculous.
971
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
Now, Perez 2-2 has fouled off.
972
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,000
That got Stanley on the hand.
973
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:38,000
And Borders, a fellow catcher can empathize and is trying to hold Stanley.
974
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,000
That really hurts. That may have broken his finger.
975
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,000
He is in such pain.
976
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Gene Monahan runs out, and Stanley's a pretty tough cookie.
977
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,000
And that might have gotten a piece of the meat hand.
978
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,000
In fact, it did. There's no question about it.
979
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Usually they hide that behind the glove or behind their back,
980
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,000
but Stanley had it exposed, and the ball was fouled right into his hand.
981
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Oh.
982
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Come on.
983
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:10,000
How would he keep that behind him without a runner on base?
984
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:15,000
He's in tremendous pain and is being assisted by Gene Monahan.
985
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,000
Jim Layres will come out and warm up Malito.
986
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:24,000
He's been there before. He knows just what's happening.
987
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000
And you never see Stanley like this.
988
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
He's almost crawling. He's in such pain.
989
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
And he's twisting his head. He's in contortions to try to battle the pain.
990
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
He's biting his upper lip right now.
991
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
He doesn't even want to look at it.
992
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,000
He's staring out into the outfield, and Gene Monahan is working with the hand.
993
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Now, Buck Showalter is standing over both of them.
994
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:55,000
You can just see from body language, John, how much pain this guy is in right now.
995
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,000
And I think Nokes has been told to go down to the clubhouse.
996
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,000
It's not a very long run. Very short, as a matter of fact.
997
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,000
And there's a little runway between the dugout and the clubhouse.
998
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Stanley is coming out.
999
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:16,000
I hope his finger is not broken. His hand is not broken. It could be.
1000
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:24,000
And Nokes is going to put on the equipment and get ready.
1001
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:28,000
The Yankees have a 4-2 lead here in the top of the fifth inning.
1002
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:33,000
There's one out going on. It'll be a 2-2 pitch to borders when we resume.
1003
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:38,000
He followed it off and caught Stanley's throwing hand, his right hand,
1004
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:44,000
maybe in the middle of the fingers, in the back of the fingers.
1005
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,000
So Matt Nokes will come in. Or Jim Larris will come in.
1006
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,000
And Nokes just went back to get the catcher's glove to warm up Maledo.
1007
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
And Jimmy Larris will put on the catcher's gear.
1008
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Follow the Yankees all year round in the pages of Yankees Magazine.

1011
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,000
Final league reports, a lot more.

If you order with a credit card, 1-800-9-Yankees-9.
1013
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,000
And I wonder why they're not bringing in Nokes with the right-hander pitching.
1014
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
And the simple answer isn't a real pleasant one,
1015
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:36,000
but they don't feel as comfortable with Nokes in the splitter as they do with Larris in the splitter.
1016
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:41,000
And that's the only reason Larris will catch and not Nokes.
1017
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
I think Jimmy went in to put on his gear.
1018
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Nokes already has on the shin guards. He thought he was coming in, but then Joe Alther said,
1019
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,000
no, no, it's Larris.
1020
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,000
I don't know why Matt walked back into the dugout. Larris still isn't out there.
1021
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Matt should be out there warming up Melito Perez.
1022
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Isn't it amazing though how these guys fear and ravage will jump in front of any camera and microphone,
1023
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:18,000
but not stay in a boardroom and negotiate so that this game doesn't go on strike.
1024
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:22,000
I think it's disgraceful they should be locked in a room. The owner should be in the room.
1025
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Oh, hey, well, I have a minute. Let me read you this paragraph as Larris comes out,
1026
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:31,000
try to do it quickly, try to get to it quickly.
1027
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,000
It's everything that we've been saying on the air.
1028
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,000
This is from Bill Madden's column.
1029
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,000
And he says, make no mistake.
1030
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,000
You have owners really wanted to avert this now certain strike.
1031
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:49,000
All they had to do was get these negotiations off ground zero yesterday.
1032
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:57,000
By ditching the salary cap, they know they'll never get an addressing reform in the salary arbitration system,
1033
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,000
which is negotiable.
1034
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Instead, owners are going to go to the mat over the salary cap.
1035
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,000
And it is sheer madness, not to mention sheer arrogance.
1036
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:13,000
And then he goes on to talk about the great state of baseball and how some owners
1037
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,000
are very much against what is going on with their fellow owners.
1038
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:26,000
But there is any question in my mind that the owners can get help in the arbitration system,
1039
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,000
which is patently unfair to owners. I would agree with that.
1040
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Although the owners put it in. I mean, they're fools, but they made their own mistake.
1041
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,000
But it can be rectified. And that is negotiable.
1042
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:44,000
Salary cap is not negotiable. They'll never get the salary cap.
1043
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,000
Boy, if I was the other owners who were drawn, like this team and others,
1044
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:53,000
the 2-2 is a check swing foul. So Larry is behind the plate.
1045
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,000
And we'll get a report on Stanley as soon as we can.
1046
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Didn't look good. Did not look good.
1047
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Well, how could it look good if a ball is fouled off the bare hand?
1048
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Now the question is, did it break a finger or not? If it didn't, if it's just swelling or whatever.
1049
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,000
But it did not look good. You're right. The 2-2 is hit on the ground a second.
1050
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:16,000
Kelly throws out of borders.
1051
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:21,000
And they're two-way.
1052
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:28,000
It's funny. Ironic, I guess is a much better word to use.
1053
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Not funny. Ha-ha. Funny. Ironic. Jeff Bagwell gets hurt last night.
1054
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Now here Stanley gets hurt. What could be the last game? It's terrible.
1055
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,000
So two-way. That'll bring up Dick Schofield.
1056
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:43,000
You know, John, you mentioned arbitration and the one thing that the players always say about arbitration.
1057
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,000
The bitch outside.
1058
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Well, you know, the owners put it in.
1059
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:52,000
How about the players who sign contracts and after two years they want to renegotiate?
1060
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,000
Is that okay? Nobody knocks them.
1061
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Now, well, everyone knocks them. The 1-0.
1062
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Cut on a miss. If you say to me, John, what you're saying is they're both spoiled and greedy?
1063
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Yes. Of course. No one listens to this.
1064
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:14,000
I hope no one halfway intelligent listens to the spin that the fears and the ravages give the pitches low.
1065
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Or some of the owners that are losing this money. Losing money, go out of business.
1066
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
That's what Goldberg's Deli does.
1067
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,000
It'd be a 2-1 to Schofield.
1068
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,000
This is a profitable business and they have to learn how to share it.
1069
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,000
The 2-1 inside 3-1. It's unthinkable.
1070
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:35,000
It could be that dumb to stop a business that is so profitable in its most profitable year.
1071
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Baseball's never had this kind of success.
1072
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,000
They have everything they want.
1073
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,000
It'll be a 3-1.
1074
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Perez deals. Strike called to Schofield.
1075
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
They count 3-2. Two outs, no one on.
1076
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,000
Top of the 5th, 4-2 Yanks.
1077
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Mike Lupick had a great line in his column today. He said Bud Selig.
1078
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,000
First said there was 19 teams projected to lose money.
1079
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Then 21 teams.
1080
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Then he said it was down to a dozen.
1081
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
The 3-2 fouled away.
1082
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
And now there is a suggestion that it could be as few as 6 or 7.
1083
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:12,000
And then Lupick writes, Selig could make the national debt disappear just by talking about it.
1084
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:18,000
Well, as I mentioned, if anyone believes the nonsense that is spewed out from both sides,
1085
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:22,000
that it's a profitable business, the business is booming,
1086
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,000
everything is right, now they have to find a way to share it.
1087
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,000
3-2 fouled away. And there is a way.
1088
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,000
We've been saying it. Madden just said it in the news.
1089
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Absolutely. Get rid of the salary cap.
1090
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Get help on arbitration.
1091
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Sign a long contract.
1092
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
And let's not hear from you people again for, till the end of the contract.
1093
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Then there'll be another problem.
1094
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Here's the payoff.
1095
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,000
And it's fouled away.
1096
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,000
And make no mistake about it.
1097
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:55,000
The problem is both sides are greedily trying to suck up as much money as possible
1098
01:11:55,000 --> 01:12:00,000
instead of being both happy in the profits they have.
1099
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000
And if there is, you know, population does shift.
1100
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,000
It does in New York.
1101
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,000
That's why the Giants are a giant stadium.
1102
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Population shifts, etc.
1103
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:13,000
And if in fact Pittsburgh can't make it, Milwaukee can't make it,
1104
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:17,000
I cannot tell you how many cities want a baseball team.
1105
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,000
I'll give you some soon.
1106
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,000
There's the 3-2 to Schofield inside ball four.
1107
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,000
I'll give you some now.
1108
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Try this on for size.
1109
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Washington, D.C., Buffalo, New York, Charlotte, North Carolina, Memphis, Tennessee, Phoenix, Arizona,
1110
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Tampa, Florida, Sacramento, California.
1111
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,000
That enough cities to begin?
1112
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Orlando.
1113
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Orlando, Florida is another one.
1114
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,000
So I've just given about, what is that, about eight cities.
1115
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,000
You'll find a buyer in one of those cities.
1116
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,000
You can't make it?
1117
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,000
I'll introduce you to a buyer.
1118
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,000
I want a cut.
1119
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,000
I want to find his fee.
1120
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,000
The pitch to Alomar is up high.
1121
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:04,000
I want to know.
1122
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:10,000
The walk was the second given up by Perez.
1123
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,000
And the first led him into trouble.
1124
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Four-two Yanks, two outs in the fifth.
1125
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
Schofield on first pitch.
1126
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Alomar takes a strike in the count one and one.
1127
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:33,000
As soon as we get a report on Stanley, we'll let you know.
1128
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Now, Molito deals to Alomar.
1129
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,000
And he chops one slowly past the mound.
1130
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Mattingly feels, flips to Perez.
1131
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,000
And time.
1132
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Beautiful play by both.
1133
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Perez couldn't get it.
1134
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Then he went to the bag.
1135
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,000
And Mattingly back flipped in the ball.
1136
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Perez caught it, found the bag.
1137
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000
And that'll do it.
1138
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,000
No runs, no hits, one left.
1139
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:57,000
At the end of four and a half, four-two Yanks.
1140
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Matt Kelly takes a fast strike.
1141
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:05,000
It was Kelly who ignited the Yankee four-run rally with a bunt single.
1142
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Kelly at 280 as he stands in.
1143
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,000
The right-hander Henkin deals.
1144
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,000
And Kelly takes the breaking ball low.
1145
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,000
And on the count one and one, Yanks with a four-two lead, bottom of the fifth.
1146
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,000
That'll be Kelly.
1147
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:22,000
Then the top of the order, the lefty hitters, Luis Bologna, Wade Boggs.
1148
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Now Henkin to the wide.
1149
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,000
Here's the one-one.
1150
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,000
That's high.
1151
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,000
On the count two and one.
1152
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Trying to get the most in New York we can get.
1153
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,000
And here is the daily news.
1154
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Yankee beat writer Jeff Bradley.
1155
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Are you melancholy, John?
1156
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Yes.
1157
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
The two-one fouled off.
1158
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
You know what, a little bit melancholy.
1159
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,000
I'm really more angry.
1160
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,000
How dumb can they all be?
1161
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,000
I've done this before.
1162
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,000
I mean, even it's boring to me.
1163
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,000
I'm beating the same issues.
1164
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Bill Madden in your newspaper, the news I just read, one of his paragraphs, said it perfectly.
1165
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,000
We all know how to avert the strike.
1166
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,000
The players' side gives in on arbitration.
1167
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,000
The owners throw the stupid salary cap away.
1168
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000
And on we go with this great season, the two-two.
1169
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:06,000
Cut on him.
1170
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,000
One away.
1171
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Ten seconds for a station ID.
1172
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
1173
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Stay tuned following Yankee baseball.
1174
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,000
It's the Bob Grant Show right here on...
1175
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:21,000
WAB3 New York.
1176
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,000
You know, John and I were talking in the top half of the fifth inning.
1177
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:30,000
We look over in the MSG booth and Donald Fears on without Trout Wigan and Tony Kubek.
1178
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:36,000
And I wonder if you think like I do, why is he sitting there and not across from the table with rabbits there?
1179
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Well,
1180
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Bologna just gets out of the way of a hard inside fastball.
1181
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
What does one want to know?
1182
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,000
The players' union has said that they are not...
1183
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:54,000
They feel there's no need to talk unless something new is going to be presented.
1184
01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:00,000
And I guess they are unwilling to discuss the current proposal.
1185
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,000
The 1-0 change.
1186
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Wouldn't you think though that fear would sit across from where Ravitch had...
1187
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:16,000
By the way, there should be owners there and say, look, we want to continue the seasons, great season, blah, blah, blah.
1188
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,000
The pitch is a breaking ball as high on the count of two and one.
1189
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Now, how do we do this?
1190
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,000
If you drop the salary cap, what else do you want?
1191
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:27,000
How can we work this out?
1192
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Don't you think they should lead that way? The 2-1 is a grounded foul outside of third in the count of two and two.
1193
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,000
And then the owners, if they were honest, would say, well,
1194
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000
I can get rid of arbitration somehow.
1195
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,000
All right, well, let's work it out.
1196
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:46,000
You know, John, I feel this way every time we go through this, every four years or whatever it is now.
1197
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:53,000
You wonder why they don't lock themselves in a room and figure out at least a way to salvage this season in its entirety.
1198
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,000
The 2-2, up high on the count through to then.
1199
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:01,000
They could, they absolutely could. That's what really bothers me.
1200
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,000
But it goes on and on. We said it last night.
1201
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:10,000
It's a it's a high priced game of chicken that they're playing and neither side wants to budge.
1202
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,000
They're trying to show their manhood, I guess.
1203
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:19,000
You know, they drew 65. They've drawn 125,000 people in Colorado the last two nights for the Braves.
1204
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,000
The 3-2 is hit on the ground up the middle fielded at second by Alomar.
1205
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,000
He throws the first in time to get Bologna two way.
1206
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Nice throw by Robbie, you got rid of it the minute it touched his glove.
1207
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:39,000
Just only have to do is just multiply either 20 or 25 bucks a head times the people come to a ballpark.
1208
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,000
The Yankees, for example, have average 40,000 for the last nine games.
1209
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Three hundred and sixty actually is about three sixty three.
1210
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Just multiply twenty five bucks times three hundred and sixty thousand.
1211
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,000
That's how much money they make for games.
1212
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Ludicrous. It really is ludicrous. Here's Boggs and the pitcher breaking ball low.
1213
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,000
You know, it gets me is John mentions the Rockies.
1214
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,000
I don't think Steinbrenner wants to strike. I know McMorris doesn't want to strike.
1215
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Reinsdorf probably doesn't want to strike. I think the owners are splintered.
1216
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:15,000
There is struck the box and the players, at least as far as we can tell, are virulently together.
1217
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,000
I mean, do you sense that, Jeff?
1218
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Yeah, I think that's that's been the issue since the beginning.
1219
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,000
That bit's low. Right. That it's really.
1220
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000
You know, I don't I want to throw the term market out because Montreal has a low payroll.
1221
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:34,000
That's a big market and they have all Canada with Toronto to share the TV.
1222
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:42,000
The two won up by another team, another town and who wants baseball, Vancouver and would bid very well for it.
1223
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,000
It's really successful teams against non successful teams. Right.
1224
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,000
The players are somewhere in the middle.
1225
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Here is the three one Boggs lines one toward the gap and left side of the field.
1226
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:56,000
It is a base hit and it goes by Cole and all the way to the warning track.
1227
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Booted by Huff Boggs turns second and holes with two outs.
1228
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,000
No point trying for third.
1229
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
So Boggs doubles to the gap and left center with two outs.
1230
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:11,000
You know, Mike, more to the point is Denver and Atlanta.
1231
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Are they big cities?
1232
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:20,000
I mean, just I know population has shifted, but they have very successful ball clubs and successful operations.
1233
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:25,000
And Denver is going to be solidifying because they're going to go into a Camden Yards next year.
1234
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Baltimore used to be used to decry itself.
1235
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:35,000
They can't make it there because it was surrounded by Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and New York on all sides.
1236
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Now they're selling out. So has to do them with a ballpark.
1237
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:45,000
It has to do then with the team. The pitch to O'Neill is a breaking ball low.
1238
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Hey, the owners really wanted a salary cap. They didn't have to impose it on the players.
1239
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:55,000
What they had to do is take every single one of their dollars, put it in a bundle and split it up 28 ways evenly.
1240
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Then everybody's on the same footing, but that's not what they want to do.
1241
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,000
And so the strike goes on. It'll be a one-oh to O'Neill.
1242
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Swung on and hit in the air down the left field line. Cole's a long run.
1243
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:10,000
He's there to make the catch in the corner and that'll do it.
1244
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Maybe see you tomorrow? Yeah, Jeff.
1245
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:16,000
I don't think we'll see you here, but we'll certainly see you at some point at Mickey Mantles.
1246
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:20,000
You'll be on the show. No runs, one hit and one left at the end of five.
1247
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,000
It's four-two Yanks.
1248
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Cole Molitor.
1249
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,000
We go to the six and Toronto has the middle of their order.
1250
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,000
They're good hitters coming up.
1251
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:36,000
Paul Molitor, Joe Carter, John Olrude, Malito leading four-two.
1252
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Toronto's two runs in the second.
1253
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:45,000
A one-out single by Olrude, a walk to Huff and Ed Sprague's near homer,
1254
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,000
a triple off the top of the center field wall to score the two runs.
1255
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,000
I'll tell you how the Yankees scored in a moment.
1256
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,000
The pitch to Molitor is down low one-and-oh.
1257
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,000
One-out going on, bottom of the third.
1258
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Paul Kelly has a bunt single, Polonia doubles down the left field line to send him to third.
1259
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:05,000
Bogg scores one with a sack fly and then O'Neill walks.
1260
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,000
The wide by Perez.
1261
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Here's the one-out to Molitor.
1262
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,000
It's hit on the ground, up the middle and through to center field for a base hit.
1263
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Now the hit machine keeps on hitting Paul Molitor.
1264
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,000
Takes a wide turn but comes back.
1265
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,000
And after O'Neill walked two-on-two out, Danny Chartable crushed a fastball
1266
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
right over the middle from Henkin.
1267
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Got it in a bad place and Danny put it in the lower seats and left for a three-run home run.
1268
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Four-two Yanks.
1269
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,000
You know what gets me about this whole thing, John, when we walk into the stadium there,
1270
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:39,000
people behind the police lines and you know, with the Yankee seven games up on August 10th,
1271
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,000
the questions we should hear, you think they're going to hold on?
1272
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Who do you think they're going to meet in the playoffs?
1273
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Now, the last two weeks, you think the strike's going to be really long?
1274
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000
You think the playoffs will be here? You think?
1275
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,000
It's sad. Joe Carter hits a high fly to left field.
1276
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Polonia goes toward the line and the ball is going to be way foul and deep in the seats on the count, 0-1.
1277
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Well, Mike, everything baseball wanted from their divisional setup has worked.
1278
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Classic years from so many players individually and also the big cities they want to do well for TV ratings.
1279
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,000
It'll be an 0-1 to Carter. He fouls it off.
1280
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,000
New York has a team in first place, the Yanks.
1281
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Chicago has a team in first place, the White Sox.
1282
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Los Angeles has a team in first place, the Dodgers.
1283
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,000
So they got everything they want. It's not enough. Never enough.
1284
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,000
And they have a growing big market, Texas in first place.
1285
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:45,000
Yes, oh, Dallas is getting to be a huge market. The 0-2. Cut on and missed.
1286
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:50,000
He struck out. Carter went away. This whole nonsense about big market, small market.
1287
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Please, you can't be a smaller market than Baltimore and they sell every seed to every game at Camden Yards.
1288
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:09,000
For Milito, the strikeout was his third.
1289
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,000
And here's O'Rourke who has singled and grounded a short.
1290
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Yankees with a 4-2 lead here in the sixth.
1291
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:23,000
One on, one out. Milito we mentioned has this unbelievable stolen base percentage.
1292
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Which is low. Even a mathematician of my stature,
1293
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:35,000
which is somewhere between 0 and zip, can figure it out.
1294
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Milito has attempted and stolen 20 bases this year.
1295
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Good job first. Milito checks him over the shoulder and deals on the fastballs high on the count 2-0.
1296
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Tomorrow night, we'll be on the air at 6.45 with Yankee pregame and 7.05 with the play-by-play.
1297
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:00,000
If there isn't a strike. Two right-handers, Scott Kamenicki and Dave Stewart.
1298
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:05,000
If there is a strike, we'll be on the air 15 minutes later at 7 from Mickey Mantles.
1299
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,000
Fetch up high. Sterling and Kay will take your phone calls, do a million interviews,
1300
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,000
have people at Mantles, have crowd participation at Mantles.
1301
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,000
So if you come on by, you'll be on the radio.
1302
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,000
It'll be a 3-0 to O'Rourke. He might be swinging.
1303
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Milito deals and the pitch is high. He walks.
1304
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:37,000
And there are two on and one out. Here's right-hand hitting Mike Huff.
1305
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:41,000
The center fielder, Mike Huff.
1306
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,000
So Perez has now struck out three and also walked three.
1307
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Huff is 0-1. A line drive tie-pitter.
1308
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Yankee is hoping to get the ground ball on the infield to turn 2.
1309
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,000
Huff takes a pitch low, 1-0.
1310
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:14,000
And if there is a strike, the first three nights we'll tell you about be Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7 from Mantles.
1311
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Here's the 1-0. Fastball strike in the count 1-1.
1312
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Let's face it, Mike.
1313
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:30,000
Maybe we feel as sorry for ourselves as anyone else, but what a glamorous year this has been for the Yanks.
1314
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:38,000
They have such a terrific team. I was playing tennis with a guy yesterday and he said it'll be a 1-1 to Huff.
1315
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,000
It's in the dirt splitter. The count 2-1.
1316
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:46,000
And one thing that is really captured by the fans is that you know why this year is so great?
1317
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Not just that the Yankees are such a fun team to watch. And we know why. They get bases and score runs.
1318
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,000
There's so many personalities on the team.
1319
01:25:55,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Such a magical year. It could be so great.
1320
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:11,000
Here's the 2-1. That missed outside and Perez is pitching himself into a whole lot of trouble to count 3-1.
1321
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:16,000
So a big pitch is coming up. Huff will be cutting and slashing if he likes it.
1322
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Perez certainly wants to throw a strike. One bad pitch and the bases are loaded with 1-0.
1323
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Here's the 3-1. He swings and lines one to right center field. No one's going to catch this.
1324
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
It's in the gap. It's a base hit. One run scores.
1325
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Bernie throws to second. It's a double for Huff.
1326
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:38,000
O'Rourke stops at third. Molager has scored on the double by Huff.
1327
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:41,000
It's a 4-3 game Yanks.
1328
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:45,000
The only reason we were able to get that base hit is because Perez fell behind 3-1.
1329
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:50,000
He did not want to walk the bases full, so he gave Huff a pitch right down the middle.
1330
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,000
And what Huff did was drill it into right center field.
1331
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,000
He didn't even throw a splitter. It was a fastball right down the middle.
1332
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,000
And he lets it run. And again, the only reason he had to make that pitch was because he fell behind 3-1.
1333
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,000
He did not want to load the bases.
1334
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Well, that is the key, isn't it? Strikes.
1335
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Always is. And they have Kamenicki up, John.
1336
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,000
So how sure are they there's going to be a strike?
1337
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Kamenicki pitches today. Who's going to start tomorrow?
1338
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:30,000
So that tells me that someone's told Buck Showalter that it's 100% guaranteed there'll be a strike today.
1339
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Here's Darnell Coles.
1340
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:39,000
And the pitch is a high fly to left center. That will tie the game.
1341
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Bologna and deep left makes the catch. O'Rourke could walk home.
1342
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
The throw comes to a third. It's going to go in the Toronto dugout.
1343
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:52,000
No one was there. And I think the run is going to be a lot home. It is.
1344
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:57,000
So Huff scores all the way from second as Bologna threw the ball to the Toronto dugout.
1345
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,000
And he didn't even throw close.
1346
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,000
And it's 5-4 Toronto.
1347
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Bologna. Where was he throwing the ball?
1348
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,000
First of all, he was throwing the ball.
1349
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
First of all, there was no runner going anywhere. He could have lobbed, he could have ran the ball in.
1350
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,000
He could have walked the ball in. He could have rolled the ball in.
1351
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Instead he wound up and threw it way wide a third. There was no one there.
1352
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,000
It went in the Toronto dugout.
1353
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:28,000
Two runs score on the sack fly and Toronto takes a 5-4 lead. My goodness.
1354
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:35,000
I think that's just Tim trying to show off whatever army has because you're right, John, no one was going.
1355
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:40,000
The breaking ball is low to Sprague 1-0. What a goof.
1356
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,000
So it should have been a 4-4 game runner at second two outs.
1357
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:47,000
That Toronto leads 5-4. Amazing.
1358
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Sprague has tripled in two and struck out.
1359
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,000
And the pitch is low.
1360
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,000
And the count 2-0.
1361
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,000
That's bad baseball right there. Terrible.
1362
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Well, that's bad.
1363
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:05,000
I think that Bologna could have done anything with the ball. Anything.
1364
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,000
He could have run the ball toward third base.
1365
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:13,000
It'll be a 2-0. Swung on and hit in the air to left center field.
1366
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Bologna is there.
1367
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:22,000
He makes the catch, but Toronto gets three runs on two hits and one big fat error.
1368
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:32,000
No one left at the end of 5-1-5-4 Toronto.
1369
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:38,000
As we go to the bottom of the sixth, Domingo Cedeno takes over at second base for the Blue Jays.
1370
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,000
So Alomar out and Cedeno in.
1371
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:46,000
Danny Charneval leads off for the Yanks who have blown a 4-2 lead in trail 5-4.
1372
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Henken deals.
1373
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Charneval takes a fastball at the knees on the outside corner for a strike.
1374
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Danny Fideleff then crushed a three-run home run deep in the seats in left field.
1375
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,000
The 0-1.
1376
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,000
That pitch low.
1377
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,000
We have the members only here, John.
1378
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:08,000
In the American League, the only other game scheduled for this afternoon is being held up by Rain.
1379
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:11,000
It was a 1-15 schedule.
1380
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,000
There's a strike on the outside.
1381
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,000
And Milwaukee and Detroit still sitting there with the tarp on. It's Wegman against Moore.
1382
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:25,000
And if I was the management of Detroit, I'd have them sit there until midnight.
1383
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,000
It'll be a 1-2.
1384
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,000
He struck him out swinging a high fastball.
1385
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,000
Went away.
1386
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,000
Games at night, 7.35.
1387
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,000
Boston at Baltimore.
1388
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,000
Sealy against Rhodes.
1389
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,000
Rhodes has pitched very well for the Orioles since coming up the...
1390
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Seattle at Oakland, 10-0-5.
1391
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,000
Johnson's 12-6 against Darling.
1392
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:48,000
11-10.
1393
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:51,000
In the National League, the Dodgers lead the Reds 2-0.
1394
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,000
They go to the bottom of the ninth inning.
1395
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Martinez still in there for the Dodgers.
1396
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Rios started.
1397
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Carrasco came on in the ninth.
1398
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Tim Wallach his 23rd home run.
1399
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,000
So again, the Dodgers 2-0.
1400
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Don Mattingly is 1-2.
1401
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:06,000
He grounds it foul, first base side.
1402
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:10,000
Mattingly singled up the middle, then lined hard to third.
1403
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:14,000
San Diego is leading Houston 5-0, bottom of the third.
1404
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Derrick Bell his 14th home run.
1405
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,000
Hamilton in there for San Diego.
1406
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,000
Swindell started for Houston.
1407
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Mattingly hits a fly ball to center.
1408
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Huff is back in dead center field to make the catch, and they're a 2-way.
1409
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Dave Varas came on in the third for the Astros.
1410
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,000
5-0-5 started.
1411
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:32,000
Lennard, Colorado.
1412
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,000
Maddox going for win number 16.
1413
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,000
He's 15-6 against Lance Painter, 4-5.
1414
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,000
And the rest, 7-35 starts the Mets at Veterans Stadium to meet the Phillies.
1415
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,000
Hockamy against Valenzuela.
1416
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,000
Montreal at Pittsburgh.
1417
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Henry against Zane Smith.
1418
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:48,000
And St. Louis at Florida.
1419
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:50,000
Bob Tewksbury against Pat Bratt.
1420
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Tewksbury is 12-10.
1421
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,000
And that is the members only.
1422
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:06,000
Jim Weiris, who came in for Stanley when Stanley caught a foul tip on his hand,
1423
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,000
takes high 1-0.
1424
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,000
Layers at 2-67 on the year.
1425
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:14,000
17 home runs and 58 RBIs.
1426
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,000
He's a right-hand hitter.
1427
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,000
Henkin deals.
1428
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:17,000
Cut out a miss.
1429
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,000
Threw it by him.
1430
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:19,000
The count 1-1.
1431
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,000
5-4, Toronto.
1432
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Bottom of the sixth.
1433
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Two outs and no one on.
1434
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,000
5-5 and 0 for Toronto.
1435
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,000
4-5 and 1 for the Yanks.
1436
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Here's the 1-1.
1437
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Breaking ball is high.
1438
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,000
No bite to it.
1439
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,000
1-1.
1440
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Henkin to the plate.
1441
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,000
That fastball rides high.
1442
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:45,000
3-0.
1443
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,000
3-1, excuse me.
1444
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Bernie Williams on deck if Layrits reaches.
1445
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,000
Henkin working quickly.
1446
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Deals 3-1.
1447
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Fastball high.
1448
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Ball 4.
1449
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Layrits on.
1450
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Stop by Macy's today for a look at this year's men's fashion from members only.
1451
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,000
A wide array of the ultimate in today's out-of-wear.
1452
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,000
They're all designed for maximum comfort without sacrificing style.
1453
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:12,000
And remember, Macy's and members only urge you to do clothes and not drugs.
1454
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Bernie Williams 0-2 on the day.
1455
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,000
He has bounced out and...
1456
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:28,000
fly into center.
1457
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:33,000
Batting left-handed against the right-handed Henkin.
1458
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,000
The pitch is strike on the outside.
1459
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,000
On the count 0-1.
1460
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,000
Toronto with a 5-4 lead.
1461
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Bottom of the 6th.
1462
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:56,000
2 outs.
1463
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Toronto on first.
1464
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,000
And Bernie takes a strike on the count 0-2.
1465
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:05,000
The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and Connie Chung, where your world comes together.
1466
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:11,000
That pitch right there from Henkin is the old drop ball that Buck Showalt was talking about in the scanner report.
1467
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:15,000
It's a curveball that goes from nose to toes.
1468
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,000
Almost like rolling off the table.
1469
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:21,000
It'll be an 0-2.
1470
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Fastball on.
1471
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,000
And the count 1-2.
1472
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:31,000
I wonder what's wrong with Roberto Alomar.
1473
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Maybe that's why he jogged the first in the first inning.
1474
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:34,000
It could be.
1475
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,000
But he ran hard the next time.
1476
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:40,000
The 1-2 to Bernie.
1477
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:41,000
Is it up the middle?
1478
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,000
There's a base at the center of the pitch.
1479
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,000
And he's got a little bit of a lead.
1480
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,000
The 1-2 to Bernie.
1481
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:49,000
Is it up the middle?
1482
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,000
There's a base at the center of the field.
1483
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Lairitz will hold.
1484
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,000
He went around second.
1485
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:55,000
Huff had the ball.
1486
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,000
So Lairitz holds up.
1487
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,000
The Yanks have the tying run at second.
1488
01:34:58,000 --> 01:34:59,000
The go-ahead run at first.
1489
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,000
There are 2 outs.
1490
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Here's Mike Gallego.
1491
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:05,000
That was that curveball again.
1492
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,000
And Bernie got it right on top.
1493
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,000
It was a little hanging.
1494
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,000
And he wrapped it through the middle.
1495
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Bernie's 1-3.
1496
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Here's Gallego.
1497
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,000
That was a great opportunity.
1498
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Boy, these crowds.
1499
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,000
The four games so far in this home stand
1500
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,000
have been so responsive.
1501
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:22,000
They really have.
1502
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:23,000
Terrific.
1503
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,000
And Mike, that would only grow
1504
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,000
as the importance of the games would grow
1505
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,000
later in the season and playoffs.
1506
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Gallego takes a fastball high.
1507
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:49,000
The 1-0 to Gags.
1508
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,000
That missed outside.
1509
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,000
And Hemkin behind Tuno.
1510
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Gallego can zone a certain pitch right here.
1511
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:04,000
He can look, he can take a pitch.
1512
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:05,000
He's 2-0.
1513
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:09,000
He can look, try to zone a fastball.
1514
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,000
The 2-0.
1515
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,000
There's the fastball.
1516
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,000
On the outside corner of the knee.
1517
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:16,000
What a pitch.
1518
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:22,000
Gallego didn't think so, but let's put it this way.
1519
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Hemkin, if he got a strike, threw it in the greatest spot
1520
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:30,000
at the knees just on or just off the outside corner,
1521
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,000
depending on your perspective.
1522
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,000
That's what a 2-0 pitch that is.
1523
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,000
The 2-1.
1524
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:38,000
That fastball high.
1525
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,000
That's the pitch he wants, 3-1.
1526
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,000
First of all, he wants you to go after it.
1527
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,000
Secondly, he wants it about letter high.
1528
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
That's a pop-up pitch as hard as he throws.
1529
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,000
So again, Gallego can zone a pitch.
1530
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,000
If he doesn't like it, just let it go.
1531
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Hemkin, if he misses, will load the bases up.
1532
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:03,000
The stretch.
1533
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,000
The 3-1.
1534
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Slow ball for.
1535
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Slowed it up.
1536
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Gallego started to go and held up.
1537
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,000
That looked like the pitch he got the first strike on.
1538
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,000
Danny Cox starts to warm the Toronto bullpen.
1539
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:20,000
Galen Sisco, the pitching coach, goes out slowly.
1540
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,000
They're not going to take Hemkin out.
1541
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,000
They're just trying to calm him down.
1542
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Tell him, you know you can get Pan Kelly out.
1543
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,000
So go get him.
1544
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Let's take 10 seconds for station ID.
1545
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
1546
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Lynn Samuels, tonight at 7, right here on Talk Radio 77.
1547
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,000
W-A-B-C, New York.
1548
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,000
The
1549
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Cisco's out there talking with Hemkin.
1550
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Hemkin with a 3.20 ERA is over that already today.
1551
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,000
He's got the bases loaded.
1552
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,000
Matt Kelly got two base hits yesterday against Ben McDonald.
1553
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,000
Has a very quick bat.
1554
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:12,000
He had a bunt base hit in the third inning down the third baseline.
1555
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:15,000
And then he struck out in the fifth.
1556
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,000
A very big moment in the ball game right here.
1557
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,000
He's in 279.
1558
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,000
Three home runs and 39 runs batted in.
1559
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,000
Hemkin ready for the first pitch.
1560
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,000
And the first pitch probably the most important pitch.
1561
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:39,000
He deals.
1562
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:41,000
Fouled away down the right field line.
1563
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,000
And Hemkin jumps ahead 0-1-1.
1564
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Layers at third.
1565
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:46,000
Bernie Williams at second.
1566
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Gallego at first.
1567
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,000
Layers.
1568
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:54,000
And Gags have walked and Bernie singled up the middle.
1569
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:02,000
Hemkin has walked three, struck out four, giving up six hits.
1570
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Here's the 0-1.
1571
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,000
Cut on him.
1572
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:08,000
That's breaking ball.
1573
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:17,000
And he's got 0-2.
1574
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:18,000
Good news for the Yankees.
1575
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,000
X-rays on Mike Stanley's right hand were negative.
1576
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,000
By the way, he was wincing in pain.
1577
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,000
That is good news.
1578
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:29,000
You would have thought it would have broken a finger, huh?
1579
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,000
Yeah.
1580
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:39,000
That really is good news for the Yankees.
1581
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,000
It'll be an 0-2.
1582
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Bases loaded two out in the sixth pitch.
1583
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:59,000
Check swing foul back.
1584
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:05,000
You know, Rick Down... I'm sorry, John, Rick Down always says that with two strikes, people think that a hitter has to be careful up there.
1585
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:08,000
But with two strikes, he really has to be more aggressive.
1586
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,000
He's got a swing of pitches that are close, not right over the play.
1587
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,000
He can't afford to take a strike.
1588
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Sure.
1589
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,000
I'm just about to say the same thing in a different way.
1590
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:21,000
This one, Hemkin, is dangerous because his high fastball is almost unhittable pitch.
1591
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:24,000
That pitch is way over Kelly's head in the count.
1592
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:28,000
Want to know, it was a breaking ball without bite.
1593
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:32,000
But you know he's going to throw the fastball up the ladder.
1594
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:36,000
They call it moving it up the ladder when he throws a little bit out of the strike zone.
1595
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Maybe a little higher than chest high.
1596
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Tough to lay off.
1597
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:40,000
The 1-2.
1598
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:41,000
Curveball is lined.
1599
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,000
It's set to be a hit as a base hit.
1600
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Layered scores.
1601
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Herdy Williams scores a two-run, two-out single for Pat Kelly.
1602
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:58,000
And the Yankees take a 6-5 lead.
1603
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:02,000
It just shows you, Mike, that even the major leaguers make mistakes.
1604
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:09,000
Why would he throw a slow curveball when he's got that kind of fastball, rising fastball up?
1605
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,000
Just amazing to me.
1606
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,000
You let it hitter like Kelly swing in a curveball.
1607
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,000
You're doing him a favor.
1608
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Well, the book on Kelly is that he can also hit the fastball, but I agree with you.
1609
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,000
Henkens fastball so overpowering.
1610
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Why mess with a breaking pitch?
1611
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,000
Let's give Kelly some credit.
1612
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:32,000
He got a pitch he could drive and he did.
1613
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,000
The pitch to Bologna is a strike.
1614
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:39,000
Hey, you know how I mentioned the last nine games, the Yankees have averaged 40.
1615
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:44,000
I'm going to have it broken out, but I think the total is 363.
1616
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:48,000
Well, they drew 37 today.
1617
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,000
The pitch is bounced up the middle off Henkens' hand.
1618
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,000
Fielded it short and touched by Schofield down the bag to end the inning.
1619
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:04,000
Now the Yankees get off the deck with two outs and no one on, get two runs on two hits.
1620
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:17,000
And lead two, and now at the end of six, it is 6-5, Yanks.
1621
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:20,000
What am I going to make if this jobs?
1622
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:22,000
I'm going to try to have it figured out.
1623
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:28,000
In the last ten games, the Yankees might have drawn exactly with a 37 today, 400,000.
1624
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Pat Borders leads off the seventh and takes a breaking ball strike from Perez.
1625
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,000
The Yanks with two last inning lead it 6-5.
1626
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Now we go to the final three innings of today and who knows?
1627
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,000
And with a play by play, here's Michael K.
1628
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:43,000
Thank you, John.
1629
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Borders is 0-2.
1630
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,000
They're back to the mound in the second and grounded to second in the fifth.
1631
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,000
So the Yankees come back for the second time.
1632
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:54,000
They lead 6-5, 5-5 and OJ is 6-7 and 1, Yanks.
1633
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:55,000
The 0-1.
1634
01:42:55,000 --> 01:43:01,000
There's a strike with a splitter on the outside part of the plate, 0-2.
1635
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:06,000
Borders is number nine in the order now, 2-53.
1636
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Three home runs and 26 runs batted in.
1637
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:10,000
The 0-2 swung on a miss on the splitter.
1638
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Larritz blocks it, picks it up and tags Borders one away.
1639
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,000
Borders down on strike and here is Schofield.
1640
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Schofield's 1-2 with a walk and a stolen base.
1641
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:31,000
Singlede center field in the third and he sandwiched around that a base on balls in the fifth
1642
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,000
and a ground ball to second in the first.
1643
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:36,000
Boggs even with the bag at third.
1644
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,000
Schofield a threat to Bunt.
1645
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,000
The pitch to Schofield.
1646
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Breaking ball high, 1-0.
1647
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Schofield as a leadoff batter is 6-4, 30.
1648
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:50,000
That's not good.
1649
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Low on O.
1650
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Blowing away to an O.
1651
01:43:54,000 --> 01:44:02,000
6-4, 30 would be, why am I blanking out, 3-4, 10.
1652
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,000
2-4, 10, B-2, 100.
1653
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
The 2-0.
1654
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:12,000
There's a strike, 2-1.
1655
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:16,000
The Sun trying to peek through and overcast Sky.
1656
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:18,000
And it's doing a pretty good job right now.
1657
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:22,000
It's been in and out all day.
1658
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,000
John alluded to the crowd at 37,333.
1659
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Here's the 2-1.
1660
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,000
A splitter a little bit outside, 3-1.
1661
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:36,000
Well my math is certainly lousy, but I believe that the Yankees through last night had drawn
1662
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,000
their last nine games 363.
1663
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,000
That would make it an even 400.
1664
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,000
The Yankees have averaged 40,000 people a game.
1665
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,000
The 3-1.
1666
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:45,000
Fastball inside.
1667
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Schofield walks for the second straight time.
1668
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Why you do that, I don't know.
1669
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,000
But he's not trying to walk him.
1670
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:54,000
No he's not.
1671
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,000
But I mean that's not good enough to say that he's trying to throw strikes.
1672
01:44:57,000 --> 01:45:00,000
And now Billy Connors comes out to get the bullpen sometime.
1673
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Dick Schofield is a non-hitter and has always been a non-hitter.
1674
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,000
And you can't walk him.
1675
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,000
And Perez has now walked him two times in a row.
1676
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:11,000
And every time a walk has gotten him in trouble.
1677
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Every single time.
1678
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:16,000
So now Bob Wickman is warming up.
1679
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Now that's a direct invitation to trouble.
1680
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:23,000
The Yankees are fortunate that Robbie Alomar left the game two innings ago.
1681
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:28,000
And now Domingo Sedeno, a sweatshooter batting left, will come up.
1682
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,000
But he's certainly not Robbie Alomar.
1683
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:36,000
While he was in there Alomar was 0-4-3 and didn't look as if he was really into it.
1684
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Maybe he was injured.
1685
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:42,000
We have not received any word whatsoever on why he was taken out of the lineup.
1686
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:46,000
So Domingo Sedeno, 200 hitter with 10 ribbies.
1687
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Batting left-handed against the right-handed Perez.
1688
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Wickman warming up in the Yankee pen.
1689
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:01,000
The pitch to Sedeno is a breaking ball outside.
1690
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,000
We want to know.
1691
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Bonds in on the grass at third.
1692
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Sedeno on top of the plate but deep in the box.
1693
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:21,000
Mattingly holds Schofield and Perez goes over there and Schofield's back.
1694
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Snapple natural beverages, America's natural sodas, iced teas, juices, juice drinks,
1695
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,000
and sports drinks for people of all ages.
1696
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Snapple made from the best stuff on earth.
1697
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,000
Here's the 1-0.
1698
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Fastball outside 2-0.
1699
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:43,000
Yankees lead 6-5 in what may be the final game of the season.
1700
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:45,000
We don't know.
1701
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:57,000
We hope not.
1702
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,000
Perez fires over.
1703
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,000
Schofield back.
1704
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
The stadium does look great.
1705
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,000
The grounds crew has done a great job on the field this year.
1706
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,000
It's a perfect green.
1707
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:12,000
Moden checkerboard in the infield and stripes in the outfield.
1708
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,000
The 2-0.
1709
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,000
Fastball high 3-0.
1710
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:27,000
The outfield wall a perfect light blue.
1711
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:32,000
The white facade over the ads and the scoreboards in the outfield.
1712
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,000
It's a beautiful ballpark.
1713
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:34,000
The 3-0.
1714
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:37,000
Way outside and Perez walks in.
1715
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:40,000
So he walks two batters with one out.
1716
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:45,000
And now runners on first and second and one of the better hitters in baseball coming to the plate, Paul Molitor.
1717
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Molitor's one for three.
1718
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,000
He grounded the third and the first.
1719
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:56,000
Flied out to center in the third and singled the center and scored in the sixth inning.
1720
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:59,000
And Buck Showalter has seen quite enough.
1721
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,000
Out of the bullpen he signals for Bob Wickman.
1722
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,000
We'll take a brief timeout.
1723
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:04,000
Please stay with us.
1724
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
1725
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:10,000
You haven't really seen Bermuda until you've seen it the Marriott's Castle Harbor way.
1726
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,000
Just listen to what you'll see.
1727
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:17,000
The first thing you'll see is a long sun splattered arcade leading to the entrance to the castle.
1728
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:26,000
Surrounded by verdant hills and lush foliage, the castle is perched high up over the harbor giving you spectacular views in all directions.
1729
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:31,000
You will see three beautiful pools, tennis courts and an array of water sports.
1730
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:36,000
You'll see and enjoy the island's most unique variety of restaurants and lounges.
1731
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:41,000
You'll see sunrise from our harbor wing and sunset from our golf wing.
1732
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:44,000
You'll see the castle's 18-hole championship golf course.
1733
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:51,000
It has 6435 yards of rolling, unjoining terrain that will, if you're not careful, eat you alive.
1734
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:57,000
You'll see our private beach which just happens to be Bermuda's largest and most attractive resort beach.
1735
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Marriott's Castle Harbor Resort.
1736
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,000
You haven't really seen Bermuda until you've seen it from the castle.
1737
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:05,000
Call your travel professional or Marriott today.
1738
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:11,000
Kmart wants to send your kid to a baseball clinic at Yankee Stadium.
1739

1740

1749
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:09,000
Tonight on Eye to Eye, how far would you go to protect your home?
1750
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Bodies was coming out of the wind. Dead people.
1751
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,000
It took an army to tame the apartment house from hell.
1752
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:17,000
We do what we have to do.
1753
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,000
Now the crooks are gone and everyone's safe.
1754
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
We have been through a lot.
1755
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,000
But is there such a thing as too safe?
1756
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,000
You're not supposed to play ball in the hallway. Thank you.
1757
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Tonight at 9 on WCBS-TV, Channel 2.
1758
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:42,000
So Bob Wickman comes on, try to stop the bleeding right here.
1759
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,000
Or stop from bleeding because the Yankees still have the lead, 6-5.
1760
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,000
But the Blue Jays have runners on first and second.
1761
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:51,000
And Paul Molitor coming to the play.
1762
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:55,000
Wickman's had a great year so far. 5-4, 3.07.
1763
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:58,000
This is his 53rd game by far the most of any Yankee.
1764
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:01,000
67 in the third inning's pitch.
1765
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:05,000
51 hits, 23 earned runs. He's allowed three home runs.
1766
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Walked 26, struck out 54.
1767
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:11,000
And opponents are hitting 2-10 on Bob Wickman.
1768
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Here's Molitor.
1769
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Hitting 3-44, 14 home runs and 75 runs batted in.
1770
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:23,000
This was one of the great free agent signings in a long, long time.
1771
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:27,000
And really it's this signing that really kicked in the small market teams screaming.
1772
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:33,000
Because Bud Selig wanted to keep Molitor and he simply couldn't compete with what the Blue Jays offered.
1773
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:37,000
The pitch to Molitor is a strike on the outside corner.
1774
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:39,000
A fastball all in one.
1775
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Wickman started him off with the 4th seamer up in the zone.
1776
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:53,000
Boggs very close to third base.
1777
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Leo 1 swung on and chopped over the head of Wickman.
1778
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,000
There'll be one play. Kelly Field fires him out and he won away.
1779
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Check that. Two away.
1780
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,000
And the runners move up.
1781
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,000
Borders have started the inning with a strikeout.
1782
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:13,000
So now both runners are in scoring position for Joe Carter, one of the best RBI men in the major leagues.
1783
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:17,000
It was a sinker and Molitor just got a piece off the end of the bat.
1784
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Once it went over the head of Wickman, you knew there was only one play.
1785
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,000
That was the first.
1786
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Carter is 0-4-3. Lined out to short in the second. Fouled out to Mattingly in the third and struck out in the sixth.
1787
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:40,000
Schofield at third and Cedeno at second. Two outs here, top of the seventh inning. Yankees lead 6-5.
1788
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:48,000
Wickman, the pitch, swung on and blooped again toward first base. Mattingly giving chase. He can't make the play.
1789
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:51,000
He plays it on a hop.
1790
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:58,000
In foul territory near the first base coaching box, Mattingly for the right-handed batter is playing way off the line.
1791
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:06,000
So he got a good jump, but he could not even attempt to dive on that one. He had no chance.
1792
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Carter almost fisted it out there. That's exactly what he did.
1793
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Boggs again close to the line at third.
1794
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:26,000
Here's the 0-1. Fastball inside, 1-1. Carter a 2-69 hitter.
1795
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:33,000
He has 26 home runs and again 102 runs batted in.
1796
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:39,000
He's got two more ribbies right out there in the person of Schofield and Cedeno.
1797
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:44,000
The 1-1 swung on and driven deep to center field, but Bernie Williams has room.
1798
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:50,000
Moving toward left center, he makes the play for the final out of the inning, so Wickman comes in and does a great job.
1799
01:53:50,000 --> 01:54:01,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, and two left at the end of 6-1 half. The Yankees lead the Jays 6-5.
1800
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:11,000
Well the 7th of the stretch that you just enjoyed, it was brought to you by Channel Home Center's Neighbor of Neighbors since 1908.
1801
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Danny Cox is on. He was injured for most of the season and that really really wreaked havoc in the Blue Jays bullpen.
1802
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:26,000
Since coming back he's done a good job. This is his 10th game. He's 1-1, 1.72 ERA.
1803
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:39,000
15 and two third innings pitched, seven hits, three iron runs, walked seven, struck out 14, opponents hitting 135.
1804
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:45,000
Call of the Yankees year-round on the pages of Yankees magazine for a special introductory rate of just $14.97.

To order with a credit card call 1-800-9-YANKS-9.
1807
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:01,000
So they bring in Cox and he'll face two left-handed batters.
1808
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:05,000
And Danny Tartable, the first one, Wade Boggs, one for two with a sack fly.
1809
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:13,000
Pitch to Boggs is a strike. Boggs hitting 342, 11 home runs and 55 runs batted in.
1810
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:21,000
Leo Wang swung on and popped up left side.
1811
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:27,000
Darnell Cole's looking into the sun and making the catch for the first out of the inning.
1812
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:31,000
Here's O'Neal, 0 for 2 with a walk and a run scored.
1813
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Scooter, the Phil Rizzuto story is a 45-minute video collectible that every Yankee fan will treasure.
1814
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:43,000
The tape covers the Scooter from his San Juan days in Brooklyn up to his recent election into the Hall of Fame.
1815
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:53,000
The cost is only $24.95. And to order with a credit card call 1-800-9-YANKS-9.
1816
01:55:53,000 --> 01:56:09,000
O'Neal swings and misses in the splitter, oh and one.
1817
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:15,000
Cox underwent arthroscopic surgery at the end of March, March 26 to be exact.
1818
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:21,000
Leo Wang, O'Neal squares the bunt and takes a strike right over the middle of the play, oh and two.
1819
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:27,000
And the surgery was to repair an impingement in his right shoulder.
1820
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:33,000
He began a rehab with Dunedin on June 27th and then he was called up to Toronto.
1821
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:36,000
The 0-2 swung on and grounded right side.
1822
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:40,000
Siddeño off his glove, trickles into right field, we'll see how they score that.
1823
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:45,000
O'Neal on first.
1824
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:48,000
I wonder how they'll score that, that could be a base hit, it wasn't an easy play.
1825
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,000
And then a 7-error, E-4.
1826
01:56:51,000 --> 01:57:05,000
Oh boy, after last night's shot off Mattingly was called an error, I guess that has to be an error.
1827
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:09,000
Here's Danny Tartabal, he's 1-for-3 but the 1 was a big one.
1828
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,000
A 3-run home run in the third.
1829
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:15,000
And what a shot it was.
1830
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:20,000
19 home runs now and 67 runs banded in.
1831
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:25,000
The pitcher was swung on and driven to right but foul.
1832
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:30,000
That'll make the seats.
1833
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:34,000
A fan just had a great sign about the strike.
1834
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:37,000
He said please don't strike, Colin.
1835
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:41,000
Stupid is as stupid does, which is Forrest Gump's favorite line.
1836
01:57:41,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Yankees lead 6-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning.
1837
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:03,000
5-5 and 1 Toronto, 6-7 and 1 Yankees.
1838
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:18,000
And Cox goes over to O'Rourke and O'Neill back in plenty of time.
1839
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,000
The 0 on to Tartabal, swung on a miss.
1840
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:24,000
Looked like a slider diving down and away, 0-2.
1841
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:26,000
On deck, Don Mattingly.
1842
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:42,000
1-on, 1-out, Yankees lead by 1, bottom of the seventh.
1843
01:58:42,000 --> 01:59:00,000
Cox steps off the rubber and fires the first and O'Neill's back. Why is he worried about O'Neill?
1844
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:04,000
Tartabal set, close stance, bent at the knees.
1845
01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:06,000
The 0-2, swung on and grounded to third.
1846
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:09,000
Filled it there by Spray, goes to second for 1, back to first.
1847
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:13,000
Not in time. Tartabal beat it out.
1848
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:18,000
So score that a force, 5-4 for the second out and that'll bring up Mattingly.
1849
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:21,000
Mattingly 1-3.
1850
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Single to center in the second, lined out to third in the third. And flat out to center in the sixth. He gets a big hand.
1851
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:54,000
Hitting 3-0-5, six home runs and 51 runs batted in. On deck, Jim Larritz.
1852
01:59:54,000 --> 02:00:03,000
Now, Pipsa Mattingly outside 1-0. Is this Mattingly's last at bat? Well, he certainly played with the possibility.
1853
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:10,000
He said that if it's a long strike, this might be his very last game and this could be his last at bat.
1854
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:15,000
If the Yankees hold on to the lead, then he doesn't bat in the eighth.
1855
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:18,000
That would be sad. Here's the 1-0.
1856
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:40,000
There's a strike on the inside corner, 1-1.
1857
02:00:40,000 --> 02:00:54,000
Cox over the first and Tartabal back. Does Cox just throw the first because he wants to? Tartabal and O'Neill aren't going anywhere.
1858
02:00:54,000 --> 02:01:15,000
Cox again goes over the first. Tartabal had maybe a step and a half lead.
1859
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:21,000
Cox sends it to Bell, deals the 1-1. Blown away, 2-1.
1860
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:26,000
The Blue Jays scored two in the second. The Yankees answered with four in the third.
1861
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:30,000
The Blue Jays came back with three in the sixth to take a 5-4 lead.
1862
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:35,000
And the Yankees immediately came back with two in the bottom of the sixth and that's where we stand right now.
1863
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:40,000
Yankees lead by 1-6-5.
1864
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:43,000
O'Rourke holding Tartabal at first.
1865
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:48,000
The 2-1 to Mattingly. Swan and line foul. Third base side into the second deck.
1866
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:56,000
The count is even at 2-2.
1867
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:01,000
In front of Mattingly's locker, two huge boxes with all of his belongings.
1868
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:07,000
And not only Mattingly, every player has packed as if this is the last day of the season.
1869
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:14,000
Fan letters, personal belongings, souvenirs, signed baseballs, all in those boxes.
1870
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:21,000
The only thing they can't take, their Yankee uniform. That belongs to the Yankees.
1871
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:42,000
Cox over to first and Tartabal back.
1872
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:48,000
The 2-2 to Mattingly. Just missed with a fastball outside, 3-2.
1873
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:54,000
So that will release Tartabal at first. O'Rourke trying to get Cox's attention, telling him he'll play behind him.
1874
02:02:54,000 --> 02:03:11,000
Play halfway. Cox acknowledges O'Rourke and O'Rourke will back up behind the runner.
1875
02:03:11,000 --> 02:03:30,000
The runner goes, the 3-2 to Swan and foul back. They'll do it again.
1876
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:37,000
All the baseballs have been signed. They put the baseballs into the sanitary hose.
1877
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:44,000
And they wrap them up in time at the top and 5 or 6, 10 could fit in one sanitary hose.
1878
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:48,000
They have those, they have them in boxes of a dozen.
1879
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:53,000
It really does feel like the end of the season and it's very, very strange here in August.
1880
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:57,000
The 3-2 runner goes, swung on and popped up right field.
1881
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:03,000
Carter right there, the Sun squinting against his glasses. He makes the play for the final out of the inning.
1882
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:19,000
Yankees, no runs, no hits, one error and one left at the end of seven-full. The Yankees 6, the Blue Jays 5.
1883
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:27,000
The first pitch to O'Rourke is outside 1-0. Yankees lead 6-5 as we go to the top of the eighth inning.
1884
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:32,000
5-5 and 1 to Rondo, 6-7 and 1 Yankees, Wickman on the mound and Sterling behind the mic.
1885
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:36,000
And the pitch is a strike at the knees on the outside.
1886
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:44,000
You know Mike, you look at this lineup and O'Rourke is the worry for the Yankees here.
1887
02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:48,000
Wickman doesn't want to walk him but he also doesn't want to give him anything and get hit out and tie the game.
1888
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:52,000
I'll tell you why in a moment. The 1-1 is lined to center field.
1889
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:55,000
On the run is Burnie, has to play it on a hop and it gets by him.
1890
02:04:55,000 --> 02:05:01,000
It rolls all the way toward the warning track. O'Rourke around second, he'll go to third.
1891
02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:07,000
Terrible sloppy play by the Yankees and O'Rourke has a three base hit.
1892
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Could be a single and a two base error. Burnie put on the brakes, slipped and the ball went past him.
1893
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:19,000
So it should have been a single to center field has turned into three bases and there's the tying run.
1894
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:23,000
Now I was just about to say that when you look at the rest of the lineup,
1895
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:27,000
they are weakish right hand hitters against a guy who gets right handed.
1896
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:35,000
His right hand is Bob Wickman and they had seven batters before they get to the good hitters in Molitor and Carter.
1897
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:37,000
And you only have two innings.
1898
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:41,000
What was Burnie's deal, jogging after that ball after it went past him?
1899
02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:43,000
He didn't go very hard after that.
1900
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Yankees play the infield back.
1901
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:49,000
Now O'Rourke takes a strike. If I'm my cup, I choke up and play pepper.
1902
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:52,000
With a shortstop to second baseman and the game is tied.
1903
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:57,000
The Yankees are playing the infield back except for Bob and they will allow the tying run to score.
1904
02:05:57,000 --> 02:06:02,000
The 0-1 inside. I don't get that either. Inside corner strike two in the count 0-2.
1905
02:06:02,000 --> 02:06:03,000
I don't get it either.
1906
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:07,000
With a guy on third, if they bring the infield in and the guy singles through the infield,
1907
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,000
he'd just have a runner on first.
1908
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,000
Now what do they call that?
1909
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,000
There's no error put up.
1910
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:16,000
There's no error. So it's a triple. Isn't that amazing?
1911
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:19,000
It was a single to center field and Burnie got too close.
1912
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:23,000
Tried to put the bricks on the pitch low.
1913
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:26,000
In this, now they bring the infield in with two strikes.
1914
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:32,000
If I'm on the first couple of pitches, I would have choked up and played pepper with a shortstop to get the tying run in.
1915
02:06:32,000 --> 02:06:36,000
That's the old La Russa play right there with two strikes they were charging.
1916
02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:42,000
Here's the 1-2. Now they're up and the pitch is grounded foul outside of third.
1917
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:45,000
What they wanted him to do was do what you were telling him to do.
1918
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:49,000
And just choke up and try to hit the baseball on the ground.
1919
02:06:49,000 --> 02:06:52,000
And then they would charge and make the play at home.
1920
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:57,000
So O'Rourke gets a gift triple.
1921
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:03,000
The Yankees threw away another run when Polonia, for no reason at all, wound up left field through the ball into the Toronto dugout.
1922
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:08,000
Here's the 1-2. It's in the dirt, blocked by La Russa.
1923
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:12,000
The count's 2-2, slider in the dirt.
1924
02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:21,000
In other words, after O'Rourke you had Huff, Cole, Sprague, Borders, Schofield, Sedanier.
1925
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:26,000
And you gotta figure that Wickman and Howe get those guys out.
1926
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:29,000
There's a tying run at third with no one out here in the eighth.
1927
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:32,000
It'll be a 2-2 to Huff.
1928
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:36,000
Wickman deals. Just missed outside.
1929
02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:40,000
And the count's 3-2.
1930
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:54,000
I have some questions for you. I don't think you can answer them, but I'd love you to try.
1931
02:07:54,000 --> 02:08:00,000
The tying run at third, no one out, top of the eighth. Here's the 3-2. It's bounce foul.
1932
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:04,000
What happens to the Toronto players today?
1933
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:08,000
Explain that to me. The game is over. It's 3-30 in New York about it.
1934
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:12,000
Now about, I'd say the game's over 4-30.
1935
02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:16,000
Okay, what happens? They go to the hotel? Right.
1936
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,000
And they what, await word at midnight?
1937
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:22,000
They await word, and once midnight approaches or reaches and they're on strike.
1938
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:26,000
Payoff is hit on the ground, up the middle, knocked down.
1939
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:29,000
Gallego feels, throws in time, on a great play.
1940
02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:32,000
And O'Rourke doesn't run well, never left third.
1941
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:35,000
Wickman either missed or got a piece.
1942
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:41,000
Kelly knocked it down and luckily deflected it to Gallego, who threw out Hubb.
1943
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:44,000
Once he sees Kelly on the ground, he should be going,
1944
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:47,000
because what's the likelihood of him getting thrown out?
1945
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:50,000
That's awful base running in the Yankees. We're very lucky.
1946
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:53,000
Very. So the Yankees continue to play up.
1947
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,000
And here's Dornell Coles who swings at Hammerswine.
1948
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:59,000
Base hit inside a third down the left field line.
1949
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:06,000
It comes rule double. Someone tested O'Rourke's scores and we're all tied at six.
1950
02:09:06,000 --> 02:09:11,000
Dornell Coles immediately ties it as he rams a pitch inside third.
1951
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:14,000
Let's face it, this inning never should have happened.
1952
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:17,000
But it did. You know, one more thing.
1953
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:21,000
It's free.
1954
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:26,000
After O'Rourke got the base hit, if he's at first, that hot shot up the middle
1955
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:30,000
probably becomes a DP because the infield's back.
1956
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:34,000
Well, Coles knocks in the run with a double.
1957
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,000
Here's Ed Sprague. We're tied at six.
1958
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Wickman deals. Sprague takes the strike.
1959
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Now Sprague and Pat Borders have a chance to knock in the go-ahead run.
1960
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:47,000
So let's go continue. So the ballplayers stay in New York tonight.
1961
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:51,000
The Toronto players stay in New York and then await word.
1962
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:55,000
Right. They get word. Once they're on strike, then the Blue Jays stop at that moment
1963
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,000
paying for their hotel.
1964
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,000
So if they want to stay, they're at the grand high, they would have to stay and pay for themselves.
1965
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:06,000
And they have to get home on their own. They're left to their own devices.
1966
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,000
Nothing is done by the players. No, no question about that.
1967
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:14,000
I mean by the owners or the traveling secretary. That's not happening.
1968
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:18,000
But they stay here until they know the strike is in effect.
1969
02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:25,000
And then they can either stay or go home.
1970
02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Well, just this is an afternoon game. That's why I wonder.
1971
02:10:29,000 --> 02:10:34,000
The O-1 is taken outside. Does the strike, does it actually happen on the stroke of midnight?
1972
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:38,000
Is there a gong that sounds, okay, we're on strike, we don't play anymore?
1973
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:48,000
The gong sounds the final out of that game in Oakland.
1974
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:52,000
Darnell Coles was very good speed, leads off second. He's the go-ahead run.
1975
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,000
We're tied at six in the eighth.
1976
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:56,000
Quickman bluffs towards second.
1977
02:10:56,000 --> 02:11:00,000
You know what I don't understand? I don't have the answer to this.
1978
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,000
The players go home, right?
1979
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:06,000
And then the strike is settled in a week.
1980
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:09,000
Does the team pay for them to get to where they have to be?
1981
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:12,000
That I don't know.
1982
02:11:12,000 --> 02:11:18,000
It'll be a 1-1 strike. I have a better question.
1983
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:23,000
Let's say the strike is settled this weekend, which happens after a day or two.
1984
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:27,000
You see this in the real world all the time.
1985
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:34,000
And the players are in Birdbath, Montana and North Overshoe, Vermont.
1986
02:11:34,000 --> 02:11:38,000
Where do they go? What game is scheduled?
1987
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:40,000
They just pick up a season?
1988
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:44,000
That'll be a 1-2 to Spray.
1989
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:48,000
I think if there's two games or three games missed,
1990
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:53,000
in all likelihood they'll try to make those games up some way.
1991
02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:57,000
That'll be a 1-2 to Spray.
1992
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:01,000
Quickman deals high. I mean, do they say, how do I?
1993
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:05,000
Let's say in a city, let's say the transit workers are on strike.
1994
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:09,000
Well, strike is over and you report to work whatever the next day is,
1995
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:13,000
Wednesday, Thursday at 9 or whatever.
1996
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:17,000
But in baseball they're all going home to every point in this country.
1997
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:20,000
It'll be a 2-2 to Spray.
1998
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:23,000
Quickman deals foul to it.
1999
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:26,000
Okay, they're going to resume. The strike is settled Friday afternoon.
2000
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:30,000
And they're going to resume with the Saturday games.
2001
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Is that what they do or do they...?
2002
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:34,000
That's all part of the settlement.
2003
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:38,000
If there is a settlement, I'm sure that will all be discussed.
2004
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:48,000
Once again,
2005
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Quickman will deal 2-2 to the right-hand-hitting Ed Spray.
2006
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:54,000
Fetch. Hit on the ground. Wide at first.
2007
02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:57,000
Kelly feels in the first base hole. Flips to Mattingly two away.
2008
02:12:57,000 --> 02:12:59,000
Coles goes to third.
2009
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:04,000
So there's the go-ahead run at third with two outs for right-hand-hitting catcher Pat Waters.
2010
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:09,000
She loves a guy who plays hard, slides in headfirst, and is into leather.
2011
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:13,000
English Leather, the official clone of the New York Yankees baseball radio network,
2012
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:23,000
available at a Walgreens near you.
2013
02:13:23,000 --> 02:13:26,000
Waters over three.
2014
02:13:26,000 --> 02:13:29,000
He is a right-hand-hitter.
2015
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:32,000
And, Quickman deals low.
2016
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:34,000
Layritz blocked it successfully.
2017
02:13:34,000 --> 02:13:39,000
McCown 1-0. Coles the go-ahead run at third.
2018
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:43,000
Scott Kamenicki continues to warm in the Yankees bullpen.
2019
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:47,000
The Yankees in the bottom of the eighth will have 6, 7, and 8.
2020
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Layritz, Bernie Williams, and Gallego.
2021
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Quickman to the plate. Foul to it.
2022
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:59,000
The totals are identical. 6, 7, and 1 were in the top of the eighth.
2023
02:13:59,000 --> 02:14:16,000
Two outs. The go-ahead run at third base.
2024
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:21,000
The 1-1 is bounced foul outside of first.
2025
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:26,000
Waters has had some weak hacks at Quickman's pitches, kind of fending off the pitches.
2026
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:43,000
And he's behind 1 and 2, looking for something he can hit.
2027
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:47,000
Now the right-hander is set. He'll deal 1-2. Pitch.
2028
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:53,000
Scott Kamenicki. However, Toronto picks up the tying run.
2029
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:56,000
1 run, 2 hits. They leave 1 at the end of 7-1-1.
2030
02:14:56,000 --> 02:15:00,000
We're tied at 6.
2031
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:03,000
On the members-only scoreboard, it's still raining in Detroit.
2032
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:05,000
Milwaukee and Detroit being held up.
2033
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:08,000
Wegman against Moore when it does start, if it does start.
2034
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:11,000
And tonight, the American League, 7-35 start.
2035
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:12,000
Boston against Baltimore.
2036
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:17,000
C-League and Perot in Seattle at Oakland, 10-05. Johnson against Darling.
2037
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:20,000
In the National League, the Dodgers have defeated the Reds 2-0.
2038
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:22,000
Tim Wallach, a home run, is 23rd.
2039
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:24,000
Ramon Martinez goes to 12-7.
2040
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:28,000
Jose Rio drops to 9-6. He takes the loss.
2041
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:32,000
San Diego 6 and Houston 3. Bottom of the 6, Derrick Bell is 14th.
2042
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:34,000
Hamilton still in there for San Diego.
2043
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:36,000
Swindell started for Houston.
2044
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Varus came in in the third. Reynolds in the fifth.
2045
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:43,000
5-0 Firestorm has Atlanta at Colorado. Maddox against Painter.
2046
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:47,000
Maddox 15-6, going for number 16.
2047
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:51,000
Danny Cox deals a fastball inside to Laird's, and we're underway bottom of the 8.
2048
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:54,000
Yankees and Toronto tied at 6.
2049
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:57,000
Laird's replaced Mike Stanley, caught a foul tip on the hand.
2050
02:15:57,000 --> 02:15:59,000
Everything is apparently okay.
2051
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:00,000
The 1-0.
2052
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Brittenball cut on and missed.
2053
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:05,000
Cox has a very good slider. This is outfitch.
2054
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:09,000
Fastball-slider combination.
2055
02:16:09,000 --> 02:16:12,000
Laird's has one appearance. He walked.
2056
02:16:12,000 --> 02:16:15,000
And that, with two outs and no one on, he walked.
2057
02:16:15,000 --> 02:16:18,000
And that triggered the Yankees to run sixth.
2058
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:21,000
The 1-1 outside. That gave the Yankees the lead.
2059
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:23,000
They lost that.
2060
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:26,000
And the 8th were tied at 6 here in the bottom of the 8.
2061
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:29,000
Now the rest of the NL Slade John is at night. Mets at Philly.
2062
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:32,000
The Met players have rented a bus, by the way,
2063
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:35,000
to take them home from Philly if there is a strike tonight.
2064
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:38,000
It'll be Hakamay against Valenzuela, Montreal to Pittsburgh,
2065
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:41,000
Henry against Smith, and St. Louis at Florida.
2066
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:45,000
Joe Robbie Stadium, Tewksbury, 12-10 against Rapp, 7-7.
2067
02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:47,000
That's the members only.
2068
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:49,000
That breaking ball in for a strike to Laird's.
2069
02:16:49,000 --> 02:16:52,000
He did not think. So McCown even at 2-2.
2070
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:55,000
It'll be Laird's, Bernie Williams, and Guy Eggo
2071
02:16:55,000 --> 02:17:09,000
here in the bottom of the 8.
2072
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:14,000
Now here's the 2-2. Hit on the ground at third.
2073
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:16,000
The long throw across by Sprague is in time.
2074
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:18,000
There's one away.
2075
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:21,000
Head over to Macy's and see their wide selection of the ultimate men's fashion
2076
02:17:21,000 --> 02:17:23,000
from the leader members only.
2077
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:26,000
See the great array of members only jackets, clothes,
2078
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:28,000
that are stylish as well as comfortable.
2079
02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:40,000
And remember, Macy's and members only urge you to do clothes and not drugs.
2080
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:44,000
Now one away, here's Bernie.
2081
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:51,000
He is 1-4-3 on the night.
2082
02:17:51,000 --> 02:18:09,000
Sprague steals and the breaking ball is in for a strike in the count-0-1.
2083
02:18:09,000 --> 02:18:27,000
That missed outside. The count-1-1.
2084
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:29,000
The mall game gone back and forth.
2085
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:32,000
Toronto scoring 2 in the second on a 2-on-triple by Sprague.
2086
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:34,000
Yankee scored 4 in the third.
2087
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:36,000
Boggs scored one with a sack fly.
2088
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:39,000
Charterball a 3-run home run. The Yanks had a 4-2 lead.
2089
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:44,000
But Toronto came back in the sixth with 3, the final run scoring
2090
02:18:44,000 --> 02:18:48,000
when Colonia for no apparent reason threw the ball and the Toronto dug out
2091
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:50,000
after a sack fly.
2092
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:55,000
Here's the 1-1. It's fouled down the third base line out of play.
2093
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:57,000
But Toronto had a lead.
2094
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:00,000
And the Yankees scored 2 in the sixth to regain the lead.
2095
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:04,000
Pat Kelly had a 2-run single with the bases loaded.
2096
02:19:04,000 --> 02:19:06,000
A 2-out rally.
2097
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:13,000
2 walks and a single loaded them up and Kelly had the 2-run line drive
2098
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:16,000
single to center to make it 6-5.
2099
02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Then Toronto scored a run in the eighth and here we are.
2100
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:25,000
The 1-2. That bounced up there.
2101
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:48,000
And the count 2-2.
2102
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:55,000
The 2-2. That just missed outside and the count goes full 3-2.
2103
02:19:55,000 --> 02:20:02,000
If Bernie gets on, you might have the chance for a stolen base
2104
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:05,000
to put him in scoring position.
2105
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:08,000
It'll be a 3-2 from Danny Cox to Bernie Williams.
2106
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:11,000
1-out, no one on, bottom of the eighth tied at 6.
2107
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:14,000
Here's the payoff. It's bounced toward second.
2108
02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:19,000
And here's what Cadenio feels. He throws out Bernie and there are 2-way.
2109
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:40,000
Here's Mike Gallego.
2110
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:50,000
2-2 and here's Gallego.
2111
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:53,000
Gags over 2 with a walk. He takes low.
2112
02:20:53,000 --> 02:20:58,000
That walk was a big one. 2-out walk on a 3-2 pitch from Hemkin to load them up
2113
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:08,000
and Kelly had the 2-run single.
2114
02:21:08,000 --> 02:21:11,000
Here's the 1-0 and hit him.
2115
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:14,000
Oh boy, and hit him on the arm.
2116
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:17,000
The last thing Danny wanted to do was hit somebody with 2-outs
2117
02:21:17,000 --> 02:21:20,000
and put the go-ahead run on base.
2118
02:21:20,000 --> 02:21:26,000
So Steve Donahue trots out to administer to Gallego.
2119
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:31,000
Buck Showalter comes out.
2120
02:21:31,000 --> 02:21:35,000
It was a fastball inside and it hit Gallego right on the arm.
2121
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:41,000
It may have hit him on the elbow, which would hurt like, you know what?
2122
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:45,000
Hit him in the same spot that Danny Tartabot got hit.
2123
02:21:45,000 --> 02:21:51,000
If you would fold your arm or make a muscle right in the corner, right there,
2124
02:21:51,000 --> 02:21:56,000
not quite on the elbow but right above it, and that could certainly sting.
2125
02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:59,000
And the ball kept tallying in on Gallego, kept coming in, in, in.
2126
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:01,000
He could not get out of the way.
2127
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:05,000
Now he's holding his arm straight out, Steve Donahue taking a look.
2128
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:11,000
Trying to see if he has feeling in his hand.
2129
02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:18,000
And it looks like he's going to stay in.
2130
02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Well, the Yankees have the go-ahead run at first with 2-outs.
2131
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Gallego down to base. He will not be running.
2132
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:27,000
The Yankees decide to put out a hit-and-run at some point.
2133
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:31,000
He stays in the game and hears Kelly, who's had a bunch single that triggered
2134
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:36,000
the 4-run rally in the third, and then the line-drive single to center field
2135
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:44,000
to knock in 2 that culminated the 2-run rally in the sixth.
2136
02:22:44,000 --> 02:22:50,000
The Yankees and Blue Jays tied at 6 near the bottom of the eighth.
2137
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:53,000
This does one thing for the Yanks. Even if Kelly makes out,
2138
02:22:53,000 --> 02:23:02,000
it pushes the lineup around to the top of the order for the bottom of the ninth.
2139
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:05,000
Cox steals and the pitch is striking.
2140
02:23:05,000 --> 02:23:09,000
And if Kelly does make out, ironically, both teams will go to the ninth inning
2141
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:12,000
with the top of their order.
2142
02:23:12,000 --> 02:23:16,000
But the Yankees, with Alomar out of the game, much more productive top of the order.
2143
02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:21,000
You have 2 guys, Schofield and Sedanio, at this point not great hitters, certainly,
2144
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:26,000
than Malagor, batting third, who is a great hitter.
2145
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:33,000
The Yankees would have Polonia, Boggs and O'Neal.
2146
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:36,000
Toronto has 2 lefties in the bullpen. One is old friend Dave Rigetti.
2147
02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:44,000
The other is Tony Castillo. Castillo does more of the late-inning work.
2148
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:47,000
It'll be an 0-1 to Kelly.
2149
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:52,000
Cox steals and Kelly takes the pitch high, 1-1.
2150
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:55,000
Kelly just trying to get on base. That would put up a pretty good lefty hitter,
2151
02:23:55,000 --> 02:24:00,000
a 300-hitter in Polonia, to try to get the base hit to give the Yankees a lead.
2152
02:24:00,000 --> 02:24:05,000
You know, with this 2-run single, John, Kelly and Gallego both now have 41 rubies.
2153
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:08,000
That's not bad for 8-9.
2154
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:12,000
Yeah, especially with 50 games to go. And what does Villardi have?
2155
02:24:12,000 --> 02:24:25,000
He must have around there.
2156
02:24:25,000 --> 02:24:28,000
Let me see here.
2157
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:33,000
Villardi has 34 and 9 home runs.
2158
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:37,000
No, it's very, a very productive group.
2159
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:40,000
Kelly is hitting around 280.
2160
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:43,000
Gallego around 240.
2161
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:46,000
And Villardi must be in the 270s, I would think.
2162
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:50,000
And also John from shortstop alone, 10 home runs and 52 rubies.
2163
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:57,000
From second base, 4 home runs and 50 rubies.
2164
02:24:57,000 --> 02:25:00,000
It'll be a 1-1 to Kelly.
2165
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:02,000
He takes a strike.
2166
02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:07,000
Villardi hitting 279 at this moment. So you have two guys hitting 280.
2167
02:25:07,000 --> 02:25:10,000
One of them has 9 home runs.
2168
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:20,000
That's very productive. And that's just your 8 and 9. It is your second baseman in shortstop.
2169
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:24,000
Gallego the baserunner at first. There are two men out at the bottom of the 8.
2170
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:28,000
It'll be a 1-2 to Kelly.
2171
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:33,000
Danny Cox deals, swung on and popped up off of first.
2172
02:25:33,000 --> 02:25:38,000
O'Rourke in foul territory. Has an easy play and makes the catch.
2173
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:49,000
No runs, no hits. One left. We go to the 9th, all tied at 6.
2174
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,000
Bob Wichman's first pitch fouled off by Dick Schofield.
2175
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:58,000
It'll be Schofield. Domingo Sedena, a switch hitter.
2176
02:25:58,000 --> 02:26:03,000
Then Paul Molitor. Wichman deals inside.
2177
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Count 1-1. We're tied at 6. Both teams 6, 7 and 1.
2178
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:12,000
Schofield is 1 for 2. He has singled his also.
2179
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:15,000
Walked twice. He's done a good job as a leadoff hitter today.
2180
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:17,000
Been on base three times.
2181
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:20,000
The 1-1. Cut on that. Missed.
2182
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:23,000
And a count 1 and 2. I would think the Yankees, they do not have anyone up.
2183
02:26:23,000 --> 02:26:27,000
I would think the Yankees would have a lefty up to get ready for Old Rude
2184
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:29,000
if he hits this inning.
2185
02:26:29,000 --> 02:26:43,000
The 1-2. He struck a mouse swing, slide her away.
2186
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Ten seconds for station ID. This is New York Yankees baseball.
2187
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:53,000
Stay tuned following Yankee baseball. It's the Bob Grant Show right here on...
2188
02:26:53,000 --> 02:27:05,000
W-A-B-C-New York.
2189
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:09,000
No one away. Here's Domingo Sedena.
2190
02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:19,000
He takes a strike on the count 0-1.
2191
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:26,000
The workman to the plate outside 1 and 1.
2192
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:29,000
Big hitter to keep off base. Danio is switching to batting left.
2193
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:34,000
Hasn't played very much. Hitting in just 200. No homers, 10 RBIs.
2194
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:37,000
You have a great hitter on deck, Paul Molitor.
2195
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:55,000
Here's the 1-1. Missed outside 2 and 1.
2196
02:27:55,000 --> 02:27:59,000
The fastball missed outside the count 3 and 1.
2197
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:06,000
Funny, the pitcher doesn't... well, he knows Domingo Sedena is not a threat.
2198
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:09,000
Domingo Sedena has been up at bat once this game. You know, he did. He walked.
2199
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:12,000
Now, Wickman behind 3-1.
2200
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:14,000
The pitch is low, ball 4.
2201
02:28:14,000 --> 02:28:20,000
You are begging for trouble to walk a non-hitter against a Hall of Fame hitter, Paul Molitor.
2202
02:28:20,000 --> 02:28:24,000
Amazing. That's, I guess, what makes the game unique.
2203
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:28,000
Peach Melba, Raspberry Royale, True Root Beer, Passion Supreme.
2204
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:33,000
There's nothing artificial about these great tasting sodas from Snapple Natural Beverages.
2205
02:28:33,000 --> 02:28:38,000
Snapple America's all-natural sodas made from... Paul Molitor.
2206
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:41,000
The best stuff on earth.
2207
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:55,000
Sedena, prior to today, had been up 95 times. He had no home runs. He had 2 doubles, 3 triples.
2208
02:28:55,000 --> 02:29:00,000
He's at first with 1 out, and here's Molitor.
2209
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:03,000
A hard ground ball, double play ball to short.
2210
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:06,000
Diago to Kelly 1 on the first double play.
2211
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:09,000
6-4-3. No runs, no hits.
2212
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,000
And we go to the bottom of the ninth, all tied at 6.
2213
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:24,000
Well, we go to what could be the final half inning of baseball in 1994.
2214
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:28,000
Let's hope it's not. There could be plenty of innings following this.
2215
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:32,000
We could be playing 18 innings just today.
2216
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:37,000
That's right.
2217
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Danny Cox stays on in his third inning of relief.
2218
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:49,000
And he will face the Lufties coming up.
2219
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:52,000
Meepolonia, Boggs, O'Neal.
2220
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:56,000
Spragan at third, and Louis takes a slider low 1-0.
2221
02:29:56,000 --> 02:30:02,000
Meepolonia has doubled in 4 trips.
2222
02:30:02,000 --> 02:30:11,000
That's set up. His doubles set up 4 runs for the Yanks in the third inning.
2223
02:30:11,000 --> 02:30:18,000
Cox yields 1-0, hit on the ground a second. Sedena gets a nice hop, throws out Meepolonia 1 away.
2224
02:30:18,000 --> 02:30:21,000
So 1 down, and here's Boggs.
2225
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:27,000
Now, Kelly Buntz signal a Bologna double, a sack fly by Boggs for one run.
2226
02:30:27,000 --> 02:30:35,000
O'Neal walked in, Charleville hit a 3-run home run. Those were the first 4 Yankee runs.
2227
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:39,000
Some of the things that Donald Fehr said with the MSG Network, he said,
2228
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,000
Slowly but surely Dick Ravitch is shutting all the doors.
2229
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:46,000
This is where he wanted it from the beginning.
2230
02:30:46,000 --> 02:30:48,000
Good job, Hy.
2231
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:53,000
And then Ravitch answered, I believe we are closer to a strike than we were 24 hours ago.
2232
02:30:53,000 --> 02:31:00,000
We regret that the players see no reason to respond to our set of games problems in any way, shape or form.
2233
02:31:00,000 --> 02:31:04,000
The Spin Doctors, the 1-0, low 2-0.
2234
02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:11,000
Now, this should be interesting. Fehr and Ravitch are scheduled to appear together tonight on CNN's Larry King Live.
2235
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:15,000
They shouldn't do it.
2236
02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:18,000
That's garbage. They should be meeting.
2237
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,000
It's a pretty good show.
2238
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:25,000
Maybe they can get it done right there on the show. Maybe you need a mediator, a guy who...
2239
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:29,000
So one of the guys doesn't crack. I don't think it's going to get done with the two of them looking at each other.
2240
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:32,000
I know what you're going to say, and I agree with you. They should be together negotiating.
2241
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:36,000
Yeah, they know how to get it done. They already know what to do.
2242
02:31:36,000 --> 02:31:39,000
It's been spelled out quietly between the lines.
2243
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:43,000
The 2-0, Hy, on the count of 3-0.
2244
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:49,000
They do seem a little bit too amenable to appearing on every single show in the world.
2245
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:50,000
It's a little ridiculous.
2246
02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:52,000
I couldn't agree more.
2247
02:31:52,000 --> 02:32:00,000
They stop going on those dumb shows and instead work out a solution. The 3-0 is a strike on the count of 3-1.
2248
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:03,000
Strange. Almost seems like they don't want to get it done.
2249
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:10,000
They know what has to be done. They know where the compromise is. It's so simple.
2250
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:18,000
The 3-1 to Boggs. Hit on the ground foul outside of first, so we have a full count, 3-2, coming from Danny Cox to Wade Boggs.
2251
02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:21,000
Bottom of the ninth, side of sixth.
2252
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:39,000
Now the payoff. Swung on and line toward left center. Huff on the run, makes the catch.
2253
02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:43,000
And they're a two-way. You know what's really funny about it?
2254
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:53,000
The tremendous need for ravage and fear to portray themselves on their side as the good guys and the others the bad guys.
2255
02:32:53,000 --> 02:32:57,000
Who cares? Just get it done. We're all bad guys.
2256
02:32:57,000 --> 02:33:14,000
Two outs, no one on. They overload the right side of the infield for O'Neal.
2257
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:22,000
And the pitch got on a miss at a slide of going down. O'Neal, of course, is not about to go to left field for a base hit.
2258
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:29,000
That's not what the Yankees need. They need O'Neal to pump on the seats and win this ballgame.
2259
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:37,000
So Toronto is right at overloading the infield. The O'Wan have bounced up there. They have a count one-on-one.
2260
02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:50,000
O'Neal, 0-3 with a walk.
2261
02:33:50,000 --> 02:34:02,000
The 1-1. Another slide of low on the count two and one.
2262
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:21,000
The 2-1. O'Neal takes low on the count three and one. Danny Tarnable awaits on deck.
2263
02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:33,000
O'Neal is 0-3 today with a walk and a run scored down to 3-61.
2264
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:40,000
There's the 3-1. It's chopped to first. O'Rood backs up fields, flips the cocks covering in time. That'll do it.
2265
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:46,000
We go to extra innings. Nothing across for the Yanks. At the end of nine, we're tied at six.
2266
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:52,000
Bob Wickman deals Joe Carter a pitch outside 1-0. We go to the tenth. We're tied at six.
2267
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:55,000
Then with the play-by-play, here's Michael Kaye. Thank you, John.
2268
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:59,000
Carter's 0-4. The pitch is lined into right center field. Base hit.
2269
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:03,000
Charging is Bernie Williams. He'll play it on a couple of hops and flip it back in.
2270
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:09,000
Carter on with a leadoff single here in the tenth inning.
2271
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:15,000
That'll bring up O'Rood. O'Rood is 2-3. He scored three times. Single to right in the second score.
2272
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:23,000
Grounded a short in the fourth. Walked and scored in the sixth and tripled and scored the sixth in tying run in the eighth inning.
2273
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:30,000
Buck Showalter's out, and that means Bob Wickman's out because Showalter has signaled to the bullpen for the left-hander.
2274
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:34,000
We'll be back in just a moment. This is New York Yankees baseball.
2275
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:40,000
Well, they bring on Steve Howe to try and keep the Blue Jays off the board.
2276
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:45,000
Howe is 3-0, 1.70. This is his 40th game. He has 15 saves.
2277
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:50,000
And bluntly put, he has had an outstanding year for the New York Yankees.
2278
02:35:50,000 --> 02:35:56,000
37 innings, 25 hits, 7 walks, 17 strikeouts. He does nothing but throw strikes.
2279
02:35:56,000 --> 02:36:00,000
In the first batter, he will face a very tough left-hander, John O'Rood.
2280
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:09,000
O'Rood, 2-96, 12 home runs and 67 runs batted in. Mattingly will hold Carter at first.
2281
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:12,000
And Howe throws over to first. Carter back.
2282
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:16,000
The reason they had Howe throw over to first, they wanted to see if O'Rood would square if he's bunting.
2283
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:20,000
But O'Rood did not give it away, or he's not bunting.
2284
02:36:20,000 --> 02:36:39,000
Howe fakes to first and Carter hustles back.
2285
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:45,000
Howe sets it to the belt, the pitch to O'Rood. He tries to check his swing. Did he? No, he did not.
2286
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:50,000
And he did. Third base umpire Jim Evans.
2287
02:36:50,000 --> 02:36:55,000
John Moore, the executive producer and director of Channel 11's fine telecast in the booth,
2288
02:36:55,000 --> 02:37:02,000
already plotting his telecast tomorrow night, just in case there's a game.
2289
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:09,000
He can come down to Mantles too.
2290
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:16,000
Now from the third base side of the rubber, deals the 0-1, swung on and fouled away. Third base side, first row of the upper deck
2291
02:37:16,000 --> 02:37:21,000
and a gentleman in a suit made the catch. Good play.
2292
02:37:21,000 --> 02:37:24,000
Gray suit, red tie.
2293
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:31,000
And he'll be talking about that at work if he tells them that he was at the game.
2294
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:39,000
Darren Hall and Woody Williams warming for the Blue Jays in their bullpen, two right-handers.
2295
02:37:39,000 --> 02:37:43,000
Howe takes a deep breath, he sets it to the belt and deals the 0-2.
2296
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:51,000
Strike three. O'Rood down looking on the outside corner. Great fastball, one away.
2297
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:58,000
That's a perfect pitch by Howe. Nothing O'Rood could do with it except look, and he did. Strike three.
2298
02:37:58,000 --> 02:38:09,000
Here's Mike Huff. Huff is one for three. Two runs scored a walk, a double an RBI, and two ground balls to the infield.
2299
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:18,000
A righty batter this time against Steve Howe.
2300
02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:22,000
The pitch to Huff. He squares the bunt, bunt's in front of the plate foul.
2301
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:30,000
Rolls behind the plate, 0-1. That was not a sacrifice bunt, that was a bunt for a base hit.
2302
02:38:30,000 --> 02:38:37,000
Huff spells his name H-U-F-F, unlike the former Marlins pitcher Huff, H-O-U-G-H.
2303
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:42,000
Spells his name like the former great middle linebacker, the Giant Sam.
2304
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:44,000
Number 70.
2305
02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:54,000
That man. Huff a 3-0-2 hitter, three home runs, 25 runs batted in. Howe checks the runner at first.
2306
02:38:54,000 --> 02:39:00,000
The long look. The 0-1. Fastball a little bit low and inside, 1-1.
2307
02:39:00,000 --> 02:39:04,000
The Blue Jays have six runs on eight hits and one error, and the Yankees 6-7-1.
2308
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:12,000
We're in the top of the 10th inning at Yankee Stadium on what could be the final game of the 94th season.
2309
02:39:12,000 --> 02:39:18,000
And the two teams nodded at six.
2310
02:39:18,000 --> 02:39:25,000
The 1-1. Fastball strike inside corner, 1-2. Howe puts it there, it can't be hit.
2311
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:30,000
If there's not a strike, this is the first of a four game set between these two teams.
2312
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:35,000
And when you looked at this series on the schedule, at the beginning of the year you thought,
2313
02:39:35,000 --> 02:39:42,000
well this is going to be really important in the American League East and the Blue Jays are too far back.
2314
02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:51,000
The 1-2. Just missed inside. 2-2. Almost the same pitch, but Howe brought it inside just a little bit more.
2315
02:39:51,000 --> 02:40:03,000
The Jays coming into this game 17 games behind the Yankees in third place. 18 games in the loss column.
2316
02:40:03,000 --> 02:40:09,000
Howe shakes off a sign, shakes off another sign from Laird, now finally gets one that he likes.
2317
02:40:09,000 --> 02:40:13,000
And the 2-2. Swung on and booped in the right field, that's a base hit.
2318
02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:18,000
Carter is heading to second. He'll stop right there as O'Neal fields quickly and fires back in.
2319
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:22,000
So Huff just fisted it through the right side of the infield for a base hit.
2320
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:31,000
And the Blue Jays have runners on first and second. And Darnell Cole is coming up.
2321
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:40,000
Cole is one for three, struck out looking in the second. Chopped two short in the fourth.
2322
02:40:40,000 --> 02:40:48,000
Had a sack fly and an RBI in the sixth inning. And then had an RBI ground rule double in the eighth.
2323
02:40:48,000 --> 02:40:56,000
A right handed batter. That's the ninth base hit for the Blue Jays.
2324
02:40:56,000 --> 02:41:03,000
Boggs even with the bag at third, maybe a step or two behind and maybe six feet off the line.
2325
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:11,000
The pitch to Cole's. There's a strike on the outside corner, Owen Law.
2326
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:19,000
Every pitch has a purpose. He is throwing great pitches at the knees on the inside and outside corners.
2327
02:41:19,000 --> 02:41:29,000
Even the pitch that Huff had to hit on, he just squirted it through. That was a good pitch.
2328
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:40,000
Time. Cole's calls time and Winans jumped from behind the plate as Howe was about to go on his wind.
2329
02:41:40,000 --> 02:41:43,000
Howe really works over the gun when he's on the mound. He does not chew tobacco.
2330
02:41:43,000 --> 02:41:49,000
He chews bubble gum and really chews it when he's out there on the mound.
2331
02:41:49,000 --> 02:41:56,000
Said to the belt, the O1 swung on, popped up right side, not only giving it a look, but that'll make the seats out of play.
2332
02:41:56,000 --> 02:42:01,000
Owen too. So how quickly ahead.
2333
02:42:01,000 --> 02:42:05,000
This has been a dream season for how he's done everything the Yankees could have asked.
2334
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:09,000
He shut everyone's mouth about the Yankees going out and getting a closer.
2335
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:19,000
But he is one of the staunchest union supporters and he's ready to march midnight tonight or at the end of the latest game.
2336
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:23,000
The game on the West Coast.
2337
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:26,000
Here's the O2 swung on and driven to center field.
2338
02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:37,000
Bernie Williams has room, moves toward right center, makes the catch and Carter heads back to second to away.
2339
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:44,000
How to bring up the dangers. Ed Sprague had a two run triple off the center field wall in the second inning, struck out in the fifth,
2340
02:42:44,000 --> 02:42:48,000
blind to left in the sixth and grounded to second in the eighth.
2341
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:52,000
He's hitting two thirty eight with ten home runs and forty three runs batted in.
2342
02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:59,000
We're in the top of the 10th inning here at Yankee Stadium in New York City and the Blue Jays and the Yankees are tied at six.
2343
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:05,000
Blue Jays have runners on first and second in two outs.
2344
02:43:05,000 --> 02:43:10,000
Sprague a right handed batter, the number eight batter in the lineup, the pitch to Sprague.
2345
02:43:10,000 --> 02:43:22,000
There's a strike on the outside corner. Oh and one and how is dealing.
2346
02:43:22,000 --> 02:43:29,000
Big strong kid. Deep in the box, far away from the plate.
2347
02:43:29,000 --> 02:43:38,000
How gets the sign from Larris, the one swung on right back to how he grabs the line drive, flips it up in the air and that'll do it.
2348
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:44,000
Oh, a little bit of luck and how's got a big red on his face for the Blue Jays.
2349
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:53,000
No runs, two hits, no errors and two left at the end of nine and a half. Toronto six, the Yankees six.
2350
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:59,000
The play by how to end the inning. Well, that is today's English leather catch of the day. Get into leather.
2351
02:43:59,000 --> 02:44:04,000
English leather cologne and aftershave for men available at CBS. That was a great by what reaction.
2352
02:44:04,000 --> 02:44:09,000
I don't know how much of it was locker, how much of it was skill, but it was made a line drive back to the mound.
2353
02:44:09,000 --> 02:44:16,000
Well, one thing of a line drive is hit back at you, Mike. You got to move your glove because you know that's not going to get hurt.
2354
02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:24,000
And I told Mike this off the air. How caught it? I mean, let's face it.
2355
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:33,000
Look, many flipped all over his head. He lands near the mound and he's walking off and Sprague is there probably cursing a blue street.
2356
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:42,000
And how gave Sprague an ear to ear grin and Sprague probably grin back and probably told him something naughty.
2357
02:44:42,000 --> 02:44:47,000
Here's Danny Tartable. The first pitch from Woody Williams is a strike on the outside corner.
2358
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:51,000
So they relieved Danny Cox and Cox did a very, very good job for the Jays.
2359
02:44:51,000 --> 02:44:57,000
He bids three innings of scoreless ball. In fact, I think scoreless hit this ball. I'll check that.
2360
02:44:57,000 --> 02:45:01,000
The O one swan and a miss slider down and away.
2361
02:45:01,000 --> 02:45:13,000
One two Tartable is one for four, the one a three run home run in the third inning. And what a shot it was into the lower deck in left field.
2362
02:45:13,000 --> 02:45:17,000
Leo to just missed outside with the fastball one and two.
2363
02:45:17,000 --> 02:45:24,000
Let's face it, Sprague very unlucky in a line drive that ticketed to go through the middle for a base that would have brought in the go ahead run.
2364
02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:31,000
Sprague practically standing on the line at third and deep the one to strike three fastball outside corner.
2365
02:45:31,000 --> 02:45:38,000
Tartable down looking did not like the call and he's having a couple of words with Matt Winans.
2366
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:44,000
Now we've said this over and over, John. Danny stands too far from the plate. He can't reach the outside pitch.
2367
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:50,000
They couldn't reset. That was way.
2368
02:45:50,000 --> 02:45:55,000
I've seen worse. That's why he got so upset.
2369
02:45:55,000 --> 02:46:05,000
So there's one away and here's Mattingly. Danny Cox allowed two men again on base, one an error by Sadaneo and one a hit fastball.
2370
02:46:05,000 --> 02:46:11,000
Here's Mattingly. He's one for four. The crowd on its feet. The picks the Mattingly.
2371
02:46:11,000 --> 02:46:25,000
Little bit outside. One and all. Tartable is still barking in the dugout. Well, they're on their feet giving Mattingly a great ovation because of what they heard last night on this broadcast and what they read in the radio.
2372
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:33,000
Read it. They read in the newspapers today that if the strike is prolonged, the one. Oh, swung on and fell back one and one.
2373
02:46:33,000 --> 02:46:45,000
If the strike is prolonged and goes late into next year, I don't think it's going to happen for a minute that it could be his last game.
2374
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:55,000
So I think that's why they're giving him this great ovation. And they'd like to see a run on the bottom of the 10th inning. One out, nobody on the game tied at six.
2375
02:46:55,000 --> 02:47:03,000
The Yankees, the one one swung on and driven to center field, not deep, right there.
2376
02:47:03,000 --> 02:47:07,000
The glove that makes the catch for the second out of the inning.
2377
02:47:07,000 --> 02:47:16,000
That'll bring up Larris. Larris came on in the fifth inning when Stanley had to leave the game.
2378
02:47:16,000 --> 02:47:25,000
Now, Tip crushed his right hand. They took x-rays, all negative. So that's good news. First time up, Larris walked and scored and then he grounded the third and the eighth.
2379
02:47:25,000 --> 02:47:36,000
Hitting 266. He does have 17 home runs. Some power. He could hand it right here and 58 runs batted in.
2380
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:44,000
Williams getting the sign from Borders, the pitch. Strike on the outside corner. Oh, and one.
2381
02:47:44,000 --> 02:47:49,000
Williams one and three, three point seven seven. This is his 38th game.
2382
02:47:49,000 --> 02:47:58,000
Fifty seven in the third innings pitch, the one strike two on the outside corner. Oh, and two. So Matt Wynand's plate is very wide and Larris takes a walk.
2383
02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:08,000
He's shaking his head in the 57 in the third innings pitch. 44 hits, 24 runs. He's allowed five home runs, walk 33. That's a lot.
2384
02:48:08,000 --> 02:48:20,000
Struck out 52 opponents hitting 211 off Woody Williams. The 0-2 to Larris just missed outside one and two.
2385
02:48:20,000 --> 02:48:40,000
On deck, Bernie Williams, six nine and one for the J, six seven and one for the Yankees. The one two. Low and away, two and two.
2386
02:48:40,000 --> 02:48:46,000
Williams takes a walk on the backside of the mound, now climbs back up. He's on the rubber, getting the sign.
2387
02:48:46,000 --> 02:49:04,000
He's working from a full windup and he deals the two two way outside with the fastball outside and high three and two.
2388
02:49:04,000 --> 02:49:17,000
Again, Sprague practically on the line. The three two is swung on and fouled off right near the on deck circle of the Blue Jays.
2389
02:49:17,000 --> 02:49:21,000
Jays had a two nothing lead after two. The Yankees had four runs in the third.
2390
02:49:21,000 --> 02:49:27,000
Then the J's took a five four lead after five and a half. The Yankees had a two in the bottom of the sixth.
2391
02:49:27,000 --> 02:49:34,000
And they took a six five lead and then the J's scored a run in the eighth inning. Sloppy defense by the Yankees and it's six six. The three two.
2392
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:38,000
Swung on and missed and that'll do it. We go to the eleventh inning.
2393
02:49:38,000 --> 02:49:50,000
No runs, no hits, no errors, nobody left it at the end of ten full innings of play. Blue J six and the Yankees six.
2394
02:49:50,000 --> 02:49:57,000
They wipe all the numbers off the scoreboard. It's like a little etch a sketch because they only have room for ten innings.
2395
02:49:57,000 --> 02:50:01,000
We go to the 11th and the Yankees and the Blue Jays are tied at six.
2396
02:50:01,000 --> 02:50:05,000
And if this is the way the season is going to end, it's certainly going to end in style.
2397
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:12,000
Steve House still on the mound, six nine and one for the Blue J six, seven and one for the New York Yankees for the Blue Jays.
2398
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:20,000
It'll be nine one and two. Borders, Schofield and Cedeno against Abbott. Abbott against Howe.
2399
02:50:20,000 --> 02:50:26,000
And as I mentioned, we go to the 11th. That means we turn our lonely eyes to John Bradford Sterling.
2400
02:50:26,000 --> 02:50:32,000
John who has weary eyes himself. That boarders will lead it off.
2401
02:50:32,000 --> 02:50:39,000
He's the ninth at the top of the order for the Blue Jays. Schofield and Domingo Cedeno.
2402
02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:44,000
Borders is over four. He has struck out twice. He hasn't had the ball out of the infield.
2403
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:52,000
He has some power. Right hand hitter. Howe in his second inning deals and the pitch is grounded foul outside of first.
2404
02:50:52,000 --> 02:51:03,000
There is an example of a right hand hitter swinging late and he didn't miss a ground ball over the bag at first, which would have been a double down the line.
2405
02:51:03,000 --> 02:51:12,000
So we go on and on here in the 11th. If there isn't a strike and boy, we all hope it's averted.
2406
02:51:12,000 --> 02:51:19,000
Here's the O one pass ball inside. This is the end of the closers for a day or so.
2407
02:51:19,000 --> 02:51:28,000
Wickman pitched two and two thirds innings. Howe is in his second inning. But I think everyone would trade that.
2408
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:40,000
For baseball to resume without a stoppage, the one one is lined to center field. Bernie Williams glides over, makes the catch and there's one away.
2409
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:47,000
I wonder if Kamenicki will be able to go because he got up and threw in earnest twice and he's due to be the starter of mine.
2410
02:51:47,000 --> 02:51:54,000
I don't like the hoodie be able to start, but if the game goes very long, you might see Kamenicki or earnest.
2411
02:51:54,000 --> 02:52:02,000
Ernie good one away and here is Dick Scofield.
2412
02:52:02,000 --> 02:52:13,000
Who is one for three and has walked twice right hand hitter.
2413
02:52:13,000 --> 02:52:18,000
The pitch is inside one and a line or I'll be tomorrow night.
2414
02:52:18,000 --> 02:52:25,000
If there is a strike where at Mickey Mantles at seven, why you have dinner plans.
2415
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:34,000
Or maybe later, the one oh, come on and fall off.
2416
02:52:34,000 --> 02:52:42,000
That's right. Our talk show sterling and came from Mickey Mantles seven to ten on Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night.
2417
02:52:42,000 --> 02:52:48,000
Busy phones, lots to do.
2418
02:52:48,000 --> 02:52:51,000
It'll be a one one.
2419
02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:55,000
Bet you by the count two and one.
2420
02:52:55,000 --> 02:53:00,000
We'll try to get everything in. Yes, baseball, the strike.
2421
02:53:00,000 --> 02:53:06,000
Football, dream team, Elvis.
2422
02:53:06,000 --> 02:53:12,000
You can come in the two one is hit in the air to right field. Don't he'll comes in.
2423
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:17,000
And there are two way. Maybe his his daughter and son-in-law will show up.
2424
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:19,000
That would be neat.
2425
02:53:19,000 --> 02:53:22,000
We'll put any kind of guest on and basement.
2426
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:26,000
Get their view on the strike. I really meant the backup quarterback of the 49ers.
2427
02:53:26,000 --> 02:53:31,000
Elvis go back. Oh, that's so.
2428
02:53:31,000 --> 02:53:35,000
I'm boning up on my football, John. I'm ready. OK.
2429
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:43,000
Well, maybe we can get on the same night Elvis go back and the former Sacramento king and Villanova wildcat Harold Presley.
2430
02:53:43,000 --> 02:53:47,000
Very good. The pitch is bounce slowly up third.
2431
02:53:47,000 --> 02:53:51,000
Boggs feels fires and gets the Danio.
2432
02:53:51,000 --> 02:53:56,000
So how has a one, two, three at the end of ten and a half.
2433
02:53:56,000 --> 02:53:59,000
Toronto six, the Yankee six. Do you have a car for sale?
2434
02:53:59,000 --> 02:54:06,000
Do you have hundreds of cars for sale? Imagine how quickly your car would sell if over 30,000 people stopped by to take a look.
2435
02:54:06,000 --> 02:54:12,000
If you're in the greater New York or Long Island area, that's exactly what car buyers market can do for you.
2436
02:54:12,000 --> 02:54:15,000
If you're in Connecticut, the bargain news will do the exact same job.
2437
02:54:15,000 --> 02:54:23,000
You see, both car buyers market in New York and the bargain news in Connecticut are weekly newspapers specializing in advertising cars for sale.
2438
02:54:23,000 --> 02:54:28,000
The unique twist, however, is that these cars are advertised along with their pictures.
2439
02:54:28,000 --> 02:54:33,000
You can actually see the advertised car in the pages of these two highly successful newspapers.
2440
02:54:33,000 --> 02:54:38,000
For 20 years, the bargain news has gone on sale every Thursday all across Connecticut.
2441
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:42,000
And the car buyers market is doing the same throughout the greater New York area.
2442
02:54:42,000 --> 02:54:48,000
See how fast your car or cars can sell with a photo ad in either of these two remarkable publications.
2443
02:54:48,000 --> 02:54:56,000
Remember, New York car sell fast with a photo ad in the car buyers market and Connecticut car sell fast with a photo ad in the bargain news.
2444
02:54:56,000 --> 02:54:59,000
Ask for your copy today wherever newspapers are sold.
2445
02:54:59,000 --> 02:55:03,000
Lee Miles, the most trusted name in transmission since 1947.
2446
02:55:03,000 --> 02:55:07,000
The people who know car and truck transmissions for in our domestic.

Check the white pages for your neighborhood dealer. Lee Miles, the most trusted name in transmissions for over 40 years.
2453
02:55:29,000 --> 02:55:38,000
Now might be a good time to take 10 seconds for station ID.
2454
02:55:38,000 --> 02:55:41,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
2455
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:47,000
Stay tuned following Yankee baseball. It's the Bob Grant Show right here on...
2456
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:55,000
W-A-B-S-P-E-N-Y-O-R-K
2457
02:55:55,000 --> 02:56:02,000
Bernie Williams, Mike Gallego, and Pat Kelley against Woody Williams as they play wild thing on the scoreboard.
2458
02:56:02,000 --> 02:56:06,000
You make my heart sing.
2459
02:56:06,000 --> 02:56:07,000
You make...
2460
02:56:07,000 --> 02:56:09,000
No, let's not do it.
2461
02:56:09,000 --> 02:56:11,000
That's tomorrow night we'll do that.
2462
02:56:11,000 --> 02:56:13,000
Yes. Freeform.
2463
02:56:13,000 --> 02:56:17,000
Bernie Williams and Acapella. Bernie Williams will lead it off.
2464
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:20,000
Sprague in at third, and the pitch is cut out a miss.
2465
02:56:20,000 --> 02:56:26,000
Holy's third baseman come in for Bernie, who I don't think has ever bunned it.
2466
02:56:26,000 --> 02:56:29,000
He is 1-4-4 today.
2467
02:56:29,000 --> 02:56:34,000
6-9-1 for Toronto, 6-7-1 for the Yanks.
2468
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:37,000
You know, you see all these advanced scouts at the game every day.
2469
02:56:37,000 --> 02:56:39,000
Well, I'll tell you what I said to a whole bunch of them.
2470
02:56:39,000 --> 02:56:48,000
They all won. Strike. Don Welke, an old group of them were at the table, Herb Stein and all.
2471
02:56:48,000 --> 02:56:53,000
And I said, I hope I see what the game tomorrow night's got.
2472
02:56:53,000 --> 02:56:56,000
I'm just wondering what scout came up with the idea.
2473
02:56:56,000 --> 02:57:00,000
Oh yeah, we got to play Bernie again because he bunts. Who saw it?
2474
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:05,000
I don't know though. Line foul down the third base line of the seats.
2475
02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:10,000
Well, you're right about that. I think it's ritualistic.
2476
02:57:10,000 --> 02:57:13,000
Guy comes up with a little speed and you play the guy in at third.
2477
02:57:13,000 --> 02:57:18,000
But Bernie, to my knowledge, has never bunned a third. I don't think he's ever bunned it anyway.
2478
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:20,000
Now look how far back they play him with two strikes.
2479
02:57:20,000 --> 02:57:23,000
So that's where they think they should play him if he's not bunning.
2480
02:57:23,000 --> 02:57:26,000
And how much room are they giving him when they think he's going to bun?
2481
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:31,000
The 0-2. High fastball from Woody Williams on the count 1-2.
2482
02:57:31,000 --> 02:57:37,000
Henkin, Danny Cox, now Woody Williams, a right-hander.
2483
02:57:37,000 --> 02:57:45,000
It'll be Bernie Williams and Mike Gallego, Pat Kelly, the bottom third of the Yankee batting order.
2484
02:57:45,000 --> 02:57:50,000
Williams, the 1-2. A little pop fly to the left field.
2485
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:54,000
In his tracks, Coles makes the catch and there is one away.
2486
02:57:54,000 --> 02:57:57,000
Here's Gallego, who was hit by a pitch his last time.
2487
02:57:57,000 --> 02:58:02,000
But you can see that his left elbow is heavily wrapped now.
2488
02:58:05,000 --> 02:58:09,000
Yankees have used only one man off their bench.
2489
02:58:09,000 --> 02:58:16,000
And that was Larritz when Stanley hurt his hand in the fifth inning.
2490
02:58:16,000 --> 02:58:19,000
I wonder why they don't go for Darrell Ball.
2491
02:58:19,000 --> 02:58:24,000
Gag swings amazes.
2492
02:58:24,000 --> 02:58:26,000
You've got Boston, you've got Nokes.
2493
02:58:26,000 --> 02:58:30,000
You don't want to use Nokes though because he's your last catcher.
2494
02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:36,000
That'll be an 0-1. Cut out of us.
2495
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:41,000
Take one more thing, Mike. No one's warming in the Yankees bullpen, so how will pitch a third inning?
2496
02:58:41,000 --> 02:58:44,000
I don't think he's pitched three innings in one stint this year.
2497
02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:46,000
I think he has.
2498
02:58:46,000 --> 02:58:50,000
I'll have to check. I think he might have early.
2499
02:58:50,000 --> 02:58:54,000
Okay. Now, Ed, if you tell me so, I'll buy it.
2500
02:58:54,000 --> 02:58:56,000
I ain't buying it for a while.
2501
02:58:56,000 --> 02:58:59,000
The 0-2, up high 1-2.
2502
02:59:12,000 --> 02:59:15,000
Williams to the line. The pitch is up high.
2503
02:59:15,000 --> 02:59:17,000
Well, you're going to have to buy. You ready to buy?
2504
02:59:17,000 --> 02:59:18,000
Yes.
2505
02:59:21,000 --> 02:59:25,000
7-28 against Boston. He remained in the suspended game.
2506
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:28,000
And he totaled three in a third inning pitch.
2507
02:59:28,000 --> 02:59:30,000
The 2-2.
2508
02:59:30,000 --> 02:59:32,000
Jack, three outside corner.
2509
02:59:32,000 --> 02:59:35,000
Guy Ager didn't like the call.
2510
02:59:35,000 --> 02:59:38,000
And he mentions it to Matt Winans on the way by.
2511
02:59:38,000 --> 02:59:40,000
So there are two down here. It's Matt Kelly.
2512
02:59:40,000 --> 02:59:43,000
Well, it's on the air. It's official.
2513
02:59:43,000 --> 02:59:47,000
50,000 Clear Channel watch plus the Yankee Radio Network.
2514
02:59:47,000 --> 02:59:52,000
And I guess I will buy you a Snapple at Mickey Mantle's tomorrow night.
2515
03:00:01,000 --> 03:00:03,000
The pitch is looped by Kelly DeForest.
2516
03:00:03,000 --> 03:00:06,000
Ole Roode cannot make the catch, just a strike.
2517
03:00:09,000 --> 03:00:11,000
And of course, a mystic.
2518
03:00:11,000 --> 03:00:13,000
And of course, a mystic.
2519
03:00:20,000 --> 03:00:25,000
And after the show, but after the show, maybe one Coors.
2520
03:00:30,000 --> 03:00:32,000
It'd be an 0-1 to Kelly.
2521
03:00:32,000 --> 03:00:35,000
The pitch is low. We'll see if I have the holes.
2522
03:00:37,000 --> 03:00:39,000
They started the game in Detroit.
2523
03:00:39,000 --> 03:00:42,000
The Tigers lead it 2-0 there in the third against Milwaukee.
2524
03:00:44,000 --> 03:00:46,000
I knew they'd keep them there forever today.
2525
03:00:48,000 --> 03:00:50,000
But the rain stopped and it wasn't forever.
2526
03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:52,000
Pitch cut on and missed.
2527
03:00:52,000 --> 03:00:54,000
He threw it by him in the count one and two.
2528
03:00:54,000 --> 03:00:56,000
Williams is ahead of every hitter.
2529
03:01:00,000 --> 03:01:04,000
In the 12th, Toronto has their hitters up that they want to break the tie.
2530
03:01:04,000 --> 03:01:08,000
Three of the best in the league, Molitor, Carter, and Ole Roode.
2531
03:01:08,000 --> 03:01:10,000
Here's the one-two.
2532
03:01:10,000 --> 03:01:11,000
Breaking ball outside, 2-2.
2533
03:01:11,000 --> 03:01:14,000
I'll tell you this for Yankee hitters.
2534
03:01:14,000 --> 03:01:17,000
Yankee right-hand hitters, the pitch looks outside swinging it.
2535
03:01:21,000 --> 03:01:22,000
Good advice.
2536
03:01:22,000 --> 03:01:27,000
Mr. Wyman has been calling that a strike about an inch off the corner or so.
2537
03:01:28,000 --> 03:01:30,000
Here is the 2-2.
2538
03:01:30,000 --> 03:01:33,000
He struck him out swinging and the Yankees are down 1-2-3.
2539
03:01:33,000 --> 03:01:36,000
They played 11 innings at Yankee Stadium.
2540
03:01:36,000 --> 03:01:38,000
Toronto 6 in the Yankee 6.
2541
03:01:43,000 --> 03:01:44,000
We go to the 12th.
2542
03:01:46,000 --> 03:01:50,000
And Steve Howe is out for his third inning of relief.
2543
03:01:52,000 --> 03:01:54,000
And he faces the top three hitters for the Blue Jays.
2544
03:01:54,000 --> 03:01:58,000
Paul Molitor, Joe Carter, the first two right-handed hitters,
2545
03:01:58,000 --> 03:02:00,000
and then lefty hitter, John Ole Roode.
2546
03:02:00,000 --> 03:02:04,000
6-9-1 for Toronto, 6-7-1 for the Yanks, and on we go.
2547
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:07,000
And with the play-by-play, here's Michael Cain.
2548
03:02:07,000 --> 03:02:08,000
Thank you, John.
2549
03:02:08,000 --> 03:02:16,000
Molitor is 1-4-5, so not a great Paul Molitor day, hitting 3-42, 14 home runs,
2550
03:02:16,000 --> 03:02:21,000
75 runs batted in, has only hit a single in the sixth.
2551
03:02:23,000 --> 03:02:24,000
And he did come around to score.
2552
03:02:26,000 --> 03:02:27,000
Boggs even with the bag at third.
2553
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:33,000
The Yankees do not shift as drastically late in games to try to cut off the extra base hit.
2554
03:02:33,000 --> 03:02:34,000
Buck Showalter doesn't believe in it.
2555
03:02:34,000 --> 03:02:37,000
He thinks the majority of the base hits would go the other way.
2556
03:02:38,000 --> 03:02:42,000
The pitch to Molitor is a strike on the outside corner of fastball, 0-1.
2557
03:02:43,000 --> 03:02:47,000
6-9-1 for the Jays, 6-7-1 for the Yankees.
2558
03:02:47,000 --> 03:02:50,000
Oh, that's the scoreboard here.
2559
03:02:54,000 --> 03:02:55,000
And here's the 0-1.
2560
03:02:55,000 --> 03:02:58,000
Swung on, line drive to left field, coming on Polonia.
2561
03:02:58,000 --> 03:03:01,000
He makes the play for the first out of the inning.
2562
03:03:01,000 --> 03:03:05,000
Molitor could not have hit the ball any harder, but he hit it right at Polonia.
2563
03:03:07,000 --> 03:03:14,000
And now, for the scoreboard elsewhere, the members only, right?
2564
03:03:14,000 --> 03:03:17,000
That members only that you hear so much about.
2565
03:03:18,000 --> 03:03:20,000
It was a 1-15 schedule start.
2566
03:03:20,000 --> 03:03:22,000
Rain held up Milwaukee, Detroit.
2567
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:24,000
They have just begun at the end of two.
2568
03:03:24,000 --> 03:03:26,000
Detroit leads Milwaukee 2-0.
2569
03:03:26,000 --> 03:03:27,000
Bill Wegman and Mike Moore tonight.
2570
03:03:27,000 --> 03:03:31,000
Boston and Baltimore, Aaron Sealy and Arthur Rhodes, Seattle and Oakland,
2571
03:03:31,000 --> 03:03:34,000
Randy Johnson and Ron Darling.
2572
03:03:34,000 --> 03:03:37,000
Here's Joe Carter. He's 1-for-5 today.
2573
03:03:37,000 --> 03:03:39,000
The pitch to Carter is swung on, hit deep to left field.
2574
03:03:39,000 --> 03:03:41,000
If it fair, it's gone. It is...
2575
03:03:42,000 --> 03:03:47,000
gone! A home run for Joe Carter and the Blue Jays lead 7-6.
2576
03:03:48,000 --> 03:03:50,000
That might have hit off the foul, Paul.
2577
03:03:50,000 --> 03:03:52,000
Whatever it hit, it's a home run.
2578
03:03:52,000 --> 03:03:57,000
Number 27 for Carter and the Jays take a one-run lead.
2579
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:11,000
Well, when he swung and hit it, like the Charterville home run, there's no doubt about it.
2580
03:04:11,000 --> 03:04:13,000
That ball was out if it was fair.
2581
03:04:14,000 --> 03:04:17,000
It's something and then went back on the field.
2582
03:04:17,000 --> 03:04:22,000
And a home run for Carter. Harrell threw a fastball.
2583
03:04:22,000 --> 03:04:24,000
Actually, I think it was a breaking ball.
2584
03:04:24,000 --> 03:04:26,000
Maybe it was a slider and it hung over the plate.
2585
03:04:26,000 --> 03:04:29,000
And it did look like it hit the pole.
2586
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:31,000
The pitch to O'Rourke is a strike on the outside corner.
2587
03:04:31,000 --> 03:04:34,000
Hit the screen right down the line.
2588
03:04:38,000 --> 03:04:40,000
And then kicked back out onto the field.
2589
03:04:40,000 --> 03:04:43,000
The 0-1 swung on. Line drive to center field.
2590
03:04:43,000 --> 03:04:45,000
Base hit for O'Rourke.
2591
03:04:45,000 --> 03:04:47,000
And the Jays have a runner on with one out.
2592
03:04:47,000 --> 03:04:49,000
Mike Huff coming to the play.
2593
03:04:52,000 --> 03:04:56,000
In the National League today, Los Angeles shut out Cincinnati 2-0.
2594
03:04:56,000 --> 03:05:02,000
2-5 and 0 to 0-7 and 0. Ramon Martinez wanted his 12-7.
2595
03:05:02,000 --> 03:05:05,000
Jose Rio lost his 9-6. Tim Walcott is 23rd.
2596
03:05:05,000 --> 03:05:09,000
And they drew 33,876 at riverfront.
2597
03:05:09,000 --> 03:05:12,000
Billy Conner is going out to talk with Howe.
2598
03:05:12,000 --> 03:05:20,000
In Houston this afternoon, Astros just scored 3 in the bottom of the 7.
2599
03:05:20,000 --> 03:05:25,000
It is 8-6 San Diego at the end of 7-1 half.
2600
03:05:25,000 --> 03:05:27,000
Derrick Bell is homing for the Pondres.
2601
03:05:27,000 --> 03:05:32,000
Kevin Bass for the Astros.
2602
03:05:32,000 --> 03:05:35,000
John Hudak is pitching now for Houston.
2603
03:05:35,000 --> 03:05:38,000
Scott Santis pitching for San Diego.
2604
03:05:38,000 --> 03:05:39,000
The other games are tonight.
2605
03:05:39,000 --> 03:05:42,000
Atlanta and Colorado will begin in about 20 minutes.
2606
03:05:42,000 --> 03:05:44,000
5-0-5 start.
2607
03:05:44,000 --> 03:05:46,000
Greg Maddox and Lance Pater.
2608
03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:48,000
New York's in Philadelphia tonight.
2609
03:05:48,000 --> 03:05:52,000
Jason Huckamy will pitch against Fernando Valenzuela.
2610
03:05:52,000 --> 03:05:54,000
Montreal plays in Pittsburgh tonight.
2611
03:05:54,000 --> 03:05:58,000
It will be Butch Henry against Zane Smith.
2612
03:05:58,000 --> 03:06:00,000
St. Louis at Florida.
2613
03:06:00,000 --> 03:06:02,000
Bob Chicksbury and Pat Rapid.
2614
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:03,000
Here's Mike Huff.
2615
03:06:03,000 --> 03:06:07,000
The pitch to Huff is a fastball low and inside 1-0.
2616
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:09,000
Huff has had a pretty good day.
2617
03:06:09,000 --> 03:06:12,000
He's 2-4-4 RBI run scored on a walk.
2618
03:06:12,000 --> 03:06:15,000
Jays lead the Yankees 7-6.
2619
03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:17,000
Yankees are in a little bit of a slide right now.
2620
03:06:17,000 --> 03:06:19,000
The pitch to Huff.
2621
03:06:19,000 --> 03:06:21,000
Swung on and driven to center field.
2622
03:06:21,000 --> 03:06:22,000
Bernie Williams has room.
2623
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:24,000
O'Rourke playing it halfway.
2624
03:06:24,000 --> 03:06:27,000
Williams makes the catch and O'Rourke goes back to first.
2625
03:06:27,000 --> 03:06:30,000
Two away.
2626
03:06:30,000 --> 03:06:32,000
After a great road trip.
2627
03:06:32,000 --> 03:06:34,000
5-2 on the road trip.
2628
03:06:34,000 --> 03:06:39,000
A great start after the all-star break.
2629
03:06:39,000 --> 03:06:43,000
The Yankees lost 2 of 3 to the Orioles.
2630
03:06:43,000 --> 03:06:45,000
They lost the final 2 in Minnesota.
2631
03:06:45,000 --> 03:06:47,000
So that was 4 out of 5.
2632
03:06:47,000 --> 03:06:50,000
And now they're trailing here in the 12th inning.
2633
03:06:50,000 --> 03:06:52,000
It could be 5 out of 6.
2634
03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:54,000
Here's Darnell Coles.
2635
03:06:54,000 --> 03:06:55,000
He's 1-4-4.
2636
03:06:55,000 --> 03:06:56,000
Two RBI's.
2637
03:06:56,000 --> 03:07:01,000
A sack fly and a double.
2638
03:07:01,000 --> 03:07:10,000
Now over to first and O'Rourke back.
2639
03:07:10,000 --> 03:07:12,000
Coles hitting 2-11.
2640
03:07:12,000 --> 03:07:14,000
4 home runs, 14 RBI's.
2641
03:07:14,000 --> 03:07:15,000
The pitch to Coles.
2642
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:17,000
Swung on and driven deep to center field.
2643
03:07:17,000 --> 03:07:18,000
Bernie Williams going back.
2644
03:07:18,000 --> 03:07:19,000
Has room.
2645
03:07:19,000 --> 03:07:21,000
Makes the play for the final out of the inning.
2646
03:07:21,000 --> 03:07:22,000
But not before.
2647
03:07:22,000 --> 03:07:26,000
The Blue Jays score on on Joe Carter's solo home run.
2648
03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:27,000
On two hits.
2649
03:07:27,000 --> 03:07:29,000
No errors and one left at the end.
2650
03:07:29,000 --> 03:07:31,000
With 11 and a half innings of play.
2651
03:07:31,000 --> 03:07:33,000
Toronto 7, the Yankees 6.
2652
03:07:33,000 --> 03:07:35,000
So you're shopping for a car.
2653
03:07:35,000 --> 03:07:36,000
And it's got to be stylish.
2654
03:07:36,000 --> 03:07:38,000
And it has to have the right features.
2655
03:07:38,000 --> 03:07:41,000
And of course it has to be affordable.
2656
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:45,000
Well you'd be smart to take a closer look at the Nissan Sentra XE.
2657
03:07:45,000 --> 03:07:50,000
After all, the Sentra XE features a powerful 16 valve engine.
2658
03:07:50,000 --> 03:07:52,000
Precise fit and finish.
2659
03:07:52,000 --> 03:07:56,000
And a host of available amenities like a driver's side airbag,
2660
03:07:56,000 --> 03:07:58,000
cruise control, air conditioning,
2661
03:07:58,000 --> 03:08:01,000
and a four speaker cassette stereo system.
2662
03:08:01,000 --> 03:08:08,000
All at a price that's $1,700 less than a Toyota Corolla DX.
2663
03:08:08,000 --> 03:08:14,000
And what does $1,700 sound like?
2664
03:08:14,000 --> 03:08:17,000
Well it sounds like a pretty nice tropical vacation to me.
2665
03:08:17,000 --> 03:08:19,000
The Nissan Sentra XE.
2666
03:08:19,000 --> 03:08:22,000
It's time to expect more from a car.
2667
03:08:22,000 --> 03:08:26,000
For a limited time, special lease offers are available on the Sentra XE.
2668
03:08:26,000 --> 03:08:28,000
Here's your Nissan dealer for details.
2669
03:08:28,000 --> 03:08:35,000
Comparison based on NSRP for 94 Sentra XE and Corolla DX.
2670
03:08:35,000 --> 03:08:37,000
Hey Yankees fans, take it from Dave Lennox.
2671
03:08:37,000 --> 03:08:41,000
If there's one thing we've got this year, it's plenty of relief staff.
2672
03:08:41,000 --> 03:08:44,000
So don't wait for your old air conditioner to wear down in the late innings.
2673
03:08:44,000 --> 03:08:48,000
Replace it with a high efficiency Lennox air conditioner.
2674
03:08:48,000 --> 03:08:53,000
Independently owned and operated, Lennox dealers meet the toughest quality standards in the industry.
2675
03:08:53,000 --> 03:08:55,000
And in northern and central New Jersey,
2676
03:08:55,000 --> 03:08:57,000
your ace reliever is Fritz & Sons.
2677
03:08:57,000 --> 03:08:59,000
So get big time savings all season long.
2678
03:08:59,000 --> 03:09:05,000
Call the pros at Fritz & Sons today.
2679
03:09:05,000 --> 03:09:07,000
Well the Jays bring on that closer.
2680
03:09:07,000 --> 03:09:11,000
That would be Darren Hall, a right hander, 1-3, 3.34.
2681
03:09:11,000 --> 03:09:16,000
This is his 30th game. He has 17 saves, 29 and 2 third innings pitched.
2682
03:09:16,000 --> 03:09:19,000
24 hits, 11 earned runs. He's allowed 3 home runs.
2683
03:09:19,000 --> 03:09:22,000
Walked 13, struck out 27.
2684
03:09:22,000 --> 03:09:26,000
Opponents are hitting 222 off Darren Hall.
2685
03:09:26,000 --> 03:09:33,000
Now once Dwayne Ward was gone for the year, well they had to find a closure and they settled on Darren Hall.
2686
03:09:33,000 --> 03:09:37,000
It'll be the top of the Yankee order trying to make up that one run deficit.
2687
03:09:37,000 --> 03:09:39,000
The Jays lead 7-6.
2688
03:09:39,000 --> 03:09:41,000
The strike deadline's tomorrow, August 12th.
2689
03:09:41,000 --> 03:09:43,000
This is the bottom of the 12th.
2690
03:09:43,000 --> 03:09:48,000
And let's hope on both, it's not the 12th of never.
2691
03:09:48,000 --> 03:09:53,000
You know that home run by Carter hit right in the middle, smack dab on the pole.
2692
03:09:53,000 --> 03:09:58,000
Just seen a couple of replays of it.
2693
03:09:58,000 --> 03:10:04,000
It was gone when he hit it.
2694
03:10:04,000 --> 03:10:08,000
If it was fair and the ball smacked off the pole, no question about that.
2695
03:10:08,000 --> 03:10:10,000
Well the Yankees have their lefty hitters.
2696
03:10:10,000 --> 03:10:12,000
We have never seen Darren Hall before.
2697
03:10:12,000 --> 03:10:15,000
Toronto brought him up after the last time the Yankees played.
2698
03:10:15,000 --> 03:10:21,000
Toronto, he has kind of a three-quarter almost sidearm delivery.
2699
03:10:21,000 --> 03:10:25,000
And I would think he'd be very tough on right-hand hitters.
2700
03:10:25,000 --> 03:10:31,000
So the Yankees have three lefty hitters and four of the first five hitters are lefty here in the 12th.
2701
03:10:31,000 --> 03:10:34,000
Sprague in on the grass for Polonia.
2702
03:10:34,000 --> 03:10:40,000
The pitch to Polonia is way outside 1-0.
2703
03:10:40,000 --> 03:10:42,000
And he's playing very strange in on the grass.
2704
03:10:42,000 --> 03:10:45,000
He's in on the grass and very close to the line.
2705
03:10:45,000 --> 03:10:47,000
He'll chop the ball right by him.
2706
03:10:47,000 --> 03:10:49,000
Here's the 1-0.
2707
03:10:49,000 --> 03:10:51,000
Fastball right down the middle of the plate, 1-1.
2708
03:10:51,000 --> 03:10:53,000
The Blue Jays, 7-11 and 1.
2709
03:10:53,000 --> 03:10:55,000
The Yankees, 6-7 and 1.
2710
03:10:55,000 --> 03:11:01,000
Louis hits a lot of ground balls between third and short, so they have the shortstop over 2, kind of backing up Sprague.
2711
03:11:01,000 --> 03:11:02,000
The middle's open.
2712
03:11:02,000 --> 03:11:03,000
The 1-1.
2713
03:11:03,000 --> 03:11:05,000
Swung on line, drive into the right field corner.
2714
03:11:05,000 --> 03:11:08,000
That's going to be a base hit and go all the way to the wall.
2715
03:11:08,000 --> 03:11:09,000
Polonia around first.
2716
03:11:09,000 --> 03:11:10,000
He's heading to second.
2717
03:11:10,000 --> 03:11:14,000
Carter Field fires and Polonia's in with a leadoff double.
2718
03:11:14,000 --> 03:11:17,000
They're standing on second base, clapping.
2719
03:11:17,000 --> 03:11:22,000
A clutch base hit for Louis Polonia to lead off the 12th.
2720
03:11:22,000 --> 03:11:28,000
Now we mentioned how many bases.
2721
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:30,000
Clutch bases O'Neill has had this year in Boggs.
2722
03:11:30,000 --> 03:11:32,000
Louis has had a lot of clutch hits.
2723
03:11:32,000 --> 03:11:38,000
The ball was down and then he opened up quickly and laced it right down the line.
2724
03:11:38,000 --> 03:11:40,000
Proving to doubt if he can pull the ball.
2725
03:11:40,000 --> 03:11:42,000
He can pull the ball.
2726
03:11:42,000 --> 03:11:47,000
And you have one of your fastest, if not your fastest Yankee at second, no one out.
2727
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:49,000
There's no fun coming up.
2728
03:11:49,000 --> 03:11:54,000
What you want to do is to have Boggs, O'Neill and Tartable.
2729
03:11:54,000 --> 03:11:58,000
And if anyone else gets on mattingly, take three shots of getting a base hit.
2730
03:11:58,000 --> 03:11:59,000
You know what? I like your odds.
2731
03:11:59,000 --> 03:12:00,000
Take three shots.
2732
03:12:00,000 --> 03:12:04,000
If he gets down, tip your hat to Darren Hall.
2733
03:12:04,000 --> 03:12:08,000
Polonia with that double now has two doubles on the afternoon.
2734
03:12:08,000 --> 03:12:15,000
He's two for six.
2735
03:12:15,000 --> 03:12:17,000
Here's Boggs.
2736
03:12:17,000 --> 03:12:21,000
The pitch to Boggs, a little bit low, one and O.
2737
03:12:21,000 --> 03:12:27,000
On the day, Boggs is one for five with a double and a sack flying and RBI hitting 340.
2738
03:12:27,000 --> 03:12:32,000
Eleven home runs and 55 runs batted in.
2739
03:12:32,000 --> 03:12:37,000
As John mentioned, Paul O'Neill on deck.
2740
03:12:37,000 --> 03:12:39,000
The one O.
2741
03:12:39,000 --> 03:12:43,000
There's a strike on the outside portion of the play, one and one.
2742
03:12:43,000 --> 03:12:47,000
The base hit by Polonia, the eighth for the Yankees.
2743
03:12:47,000 --> 03:12:51,000
They get the left-hander Castillo up along with right-hander Mike Timlin,
2744
03:12:51,000 --> 03:12:53,000
but you're going to use the left-hander.
2745
03:12:53,000 --> 03:12:55,000
You ought to use them now.
2746
03:12:55,000 --> 03:12:58,000
You would think, but they got him up late.
2747
03:12:58,000 --> 03:13:10,000
The one one, way outside, two and one.
2748
03:13:10,000 --> 03:13:14,000
Hall has become the closer out of necessity.
2749
03:13:14,000 --> 03:13:20,000
Dwayne Ward, so many problems with his shoulder, could not start it up this year.
2750
03:13:20,000 --> 03:13:24,000
The two one, in the dirt, scooped up beautifully by Borders.
2751
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:25,000
It's three and one.
2752
03:13:25,000 --> 03:13:26,000
He kind of slings the ball.
2753
03:13:26,000 --> 03:13:28,000
I would think he'd be tough on the right-handers.
2754
03:13:28,000 --> 03:13:30,000
Mike, here's an interesting thing.
2755
03:13:30,000 --> 03:13:35,000
The Blue Jays have Coles playing straightaway left, way off the line,
2756
03:13:35,000 --> 03:13:41,000
and the center fielder, Hump, is playing maybe one step to the right field side of center,
2757
03:13:41,000 --> 03:13:47,000
so they obviously feel Boggs will pull Hall.
2758
03:13:47,000 --> 03:13:49,000
Here's the three one.
2759
03:13:49,000 --> 03:13:54,000
Swan and chopped over the middle, moving over to Sedeno, but Schofield cuts in front.
2760
03:13:54,000 --> 03:13:56,000
Boggs beats it out.
2761
03:13:56,000 --> 03:14:00,000
Schofield cut in front of Sedeno, fielded the ball, flipped to O'Rourke,
2762
03:14:00,000 --> 03:14:03,000
pulled him off the bag, and Polonia goes to third.
2763
03:14:03,000 --> 03:14:05,000
Boggs is on first with an infield hit.
2764
03:14:05,000 --> 03:14:07,000
Mike, I have no idea.
2765
03:14:07,000 --> 03:14:12,000
It was the right play for Schofield, because if Sedeno feels it, he's going away,
2766
03:14:12,000 --> 03:14:14,000
but Schofield threw terribly.
2767
03:14:14,000 --> 03:14:21,000
Instead of firing it, he flipped it and threw kind of a medicine ball toss to O'Rourke.
2768
03:14:21,000 --> 03:14:23,000
That's why Boggs beat it out.
2769
03:14:23,000 --> 03:14:28,000
Boggs had it beaten, and I don't know why Schofield must have slipped out of his hand.
2770
03:14:28,000 --> 03:14:31,000
The only thing I can figure, that it must have slipped out of his hands.
2771
03:14:31,000 --> 03:14:35,000
He could have had Boggs, and he threw a pop fly to first base.
2772
03:14:35,000 --> 03:14:40,000
So the tying run at third, which is almost a gimme at this point,
2773
03:14:40,000 --> 03:14:43,000
the winning run is at first, and here is O'Neill, and you have O'Neill,
2774
03:14:43,000 --> 03:14:45,000
Charterville, and Mattingly.
2775
03:14:45,000 --> 03:14:47,000
O'Neill is 0-4-4 with a walk and a run score.
2776
03:14:47,000 --> 03:14:52,000
The pitch to O'Neill, outside ball one.
2777
03:14:52,000 --> 03:14:58,000
All you need is a fly ball, and you tie the game.
2778
03:14:58,000 --> 03:15:00,000
Even a double play, they're playing for the double play.
2779
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:05,000
They will give up the tying run.
2780
03:15:05,000 --> 03:15:11,000
The 1-0, swung on and fouled back off the glove of Borders, all the way back to the screen.
2781
03:15:11,000 --> 03:15:13,000
They are playing back. I don't blame them.
2782
03:15:13,000 --> 03:15:15,000
You don't want to lose the game.
2783
03:15:15,000 --> 03:15:20,000
A ground ball anywhere but third, and O'Neill hardly is going to hit a ground ball
2784
03:15:20,000 --> 03:15:24,000
at the third unless he swings very late against the run-in,
2785
03:15:24,000 --> 03:15:26,000
and they'd love to turn the double play.
2786
03:15:26,000 --> 03:15:30,000
The only two things can hurt the Yanks, a strikeout or a pop-up.
2787
03:15:30,000 --> 03:15:33,000
The 1-1, swung on and chopped over the middle.
2788
03:15:33,000 --> 03:15:35,000
Schofield right there. He'll get two.
2789
03:15:35,000 --> 03:15:37,000
Steps on second, fires the first.
2790
03:15:37,000 --> 03:15:43,000
Polonia scores, and the Yankees have tied the game at seven on the 6-6-3 double play.
2791
03:15:43,000 --> 03:15:45,000
He chopped it right over the middle.
2792
03:15:45,000 --> 03:15:48,000
Schofield moved to his left, fielded the ball, stepped on the bag himself,
2793
03:15:48,000 --> 03:15:52,000
and fired a strike to All-Rood, and the Yankees tie the game.
2794
03:15:52,000 --> 03:15:54,000
And Tartable.
2795
03:15:56,000 --> 03:15:59,000
That's a second chopper just like that.
2796
03:15:59,000 --> 03:16:01,000
His pitches must really sink.
2797
03:16:01,000 --> 03:16:03,000
Here's Tartable.
2798
03:16:03,000 --> 03:16:05,000
One for five.
2799
03:16:05,000 --> 03:16:07,000
The pitch, it's high, 1-0.
2800
03:16:07,000 --> 03:16:10,000
The one, a home run, a three-run shot in the third inning.
2801
03:16:10,000 --> 03:16:12,000
The Yankees would like more of the same right here.
2802
03:16:12,000 --> 03:16:18,000
Otherwise, we go to the 13th.
2803
03:16:18,000 --> 03:16:20,000
The 1-0 from Hall.
2804
03:16:20,000 --> 03:16:22,000
High 2-0 on deck.
2805
03:16:22,000 --> 03:16:26,000
Donald Arthur Mattingly.
2806
03:16:26,000 --> 03:16:28,000
Joe Osanio's in the Yankee bullpen.
2807
03:16:28,000 --> 03:16:30,000
He'll be coming on on the 13th.
2808
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:34,000
Tartable with 19 home runs, 67 rebbies.
2809
03:16:34,000 --> 03:16:36,000
The 2-0, swung on and missed.
2810
03:16:36,000 --> 03:16:43,000
Breaking ball down and away.
2811
03:16:43,000 --> 03:16:49,000
7-11 and one for the Jays, 7-9 and one for the Yankees.
2812
03:16:49,000 --> 03:16:53,000
The 2-1, swung on and chop foul outside of third.
2813
03:16:53,000 --> 03:16:56,000
The count is even at 2-2.
2814
03:16:56,000 --> 03:16:59,000
He must have some downward sink on the ball,
2815
03:16:59,000 --> 03:17:04,000
because everyone's chopping the ball except for Polonia.
2816
03:17:04,000 --> 03:17:08,000
Polonia got a fastball, knee-high, thigh-high,
2817
03:17:08,000 --> 03:17:12,000
opened up and lined it down the right field line.
2818
03:17:12,000 --> 03:17:16,000
The 2-2, way outside, backhanded by Borders.
2819
03:17:16,000 --> 03:17:18,000
The count is full at 3-2.
2820
03:17:18,000 --> 03:17:20,000
Two outs, nobody on.
2821
03:17:20,000 --> 03:17:29,000
Bottom of the 12th inning, the Yankees and Jays are tied at 7.
2822
03:17:29,000 --> 03:17:33,000
The 3-2, swung on and chopped the third base.
2823
03:17:33,000 --> 03:17:36,000
Sprague right there, he fields and fires.
2824
03:17:36,000 --> 03:17:40,000
And that'll do it here in the 12th inning, but the Yankees do tie the game.
2825
03:17:40,000 --> 03:17:45,000
One run, two hits, no errors, nobody left at the end of 12 full innings of play.
2826
03:17:45,000 --> 03:17:51,000
Toronto 7, the Yankees 7.
2827
03:17:51,000 --> 03:17:55,000
Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a Valvoline Indy car,
2828
03:17:55,000 --> 03:18:00,000
heading into turn one at 240 miles per hour.
2829
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:06,000
You're trapped into a Valvoline Top Fuel Dragster, breaking the 300-mile-per-hour barrier.
2830
03:18:06,000 --> 03:18:14,000
Or how about driving a Valvoline NASCAR Ford while doing a bump and grind at 200 miles per hour?
2831
03:18:14,000 --> 03:18:17,000
Believe it or not, you can't drive one of these race cars.
2832
03:18:17,000 --> 03:18:21,000
You can be a part of this team, the Valvoline Performance Team.
2833
03:18:21,000 --> 03:18:24,000
Just have one professionally installed Valvoline oil change,
2834
03:18:24,000 --> 03:18:28,000
and we'll send you the official Valvoline Performance Team hat
2835
03:18:28,000 --> 03:18:30,000
and postage and handling.
2836
03:18:30,000 --> 03:18:33,000
You'll also be able to get lots of other great Valvoline stuff
2837
03:18:33,000 --> 03:18:35,000
just for Valvoline Performance Team members.
2838
03:18:35,000 --> 03:18:38,000
But this mail-in offer ends November 30th,
2839
03:18:38,000 --> 03:18:42,000
so join the Valvoline Performance Team fast and get into the action.
2840
03:18:42,000 --> 03:18:45,000
People who know, use Valvoline.
2841
03:18:45,000 --> 03:18:47,000
Available at Speed & Repair in Wheatley Heights,
2842
03:18:47,000 --> 03:18:49,000
Smithtown Tire & Auto, Smithtown,
2843
03:18:49,000 --> 03:18:52,000
and VIP Service Center in Brooklyn.
2844
03:18:52,000 --> 03:18:55,000
Today's game is all about the Yankees beating the opposition.
2845
03:18:55,000 --> 03:18:57,000
Sometimes they do it, and sometimes they don't.
2846
03:18:57,000 --> 03:18:58,000
No guarantees.
2847
03:18:58,000 --> 03:19:00,000
Nobody beats the Wiz loves baseball,
2848
03:19:00,000 --> 03:19:02,000
but we have to play by different rules.
2849
03:19:02,000 --> 03:19:06,000
We have to beat the competition every day, and we guarantee it.
2850
03:19:06,000 --> 03:19:08,000
The Yankees scout, nobody beats the Wiz shots.
2851
03:19:08,000 --> 03:19:11,000
The Yankees hit, and nobody beats the Wiz.
2852
03:19:11,000 --> 03:19:15,000
You save on home electronics, music, movies, cameras, computers, and more.
2853
03:19:15,000 --> 03:19:19,000
It does come down to the same thing for both of us, winning at all costs.
2854
03:19:19,000 --> 03:19:22,000
Only it's a low cost, and nobody beats the Wiz.
2855
03:19:22,000 --> 03:19:23,000
Well, we go to Lucky 13.
2856
03:19:23,000 --> 03:19:26,000
I don't think either of these teams wants to go on strike.
2857
03:19:26,000 --> 03:19:30,000
7-11 and one for the Jays, 7-9 and one for the Yankees.
2858
03:19:30,000 --> 03:19:33,000
Let's take 10 seconds for station identification.
2859
03:19:33,000 --> 03:19:35,000
This is New York Yankees baseball.
2860
03:19:35,000 --> 03:19:41,000
Lynn Samuels, tonight at 7, right here on Talk Radio 77.
2861
03:19:41,000 --> 03:19:45,000
W-A-B-C, New York.
2862
03:19:45,000 --> 03:19:47,000
Well, that'll do it for Steve, huh?
2863
03:19:47,000 --> 03:19:53,000
They bring on the right-hander Joe Osanio, and he'll face 8-9-1 in the Blue J lineup.
2864
03:19:53,000 --> 03:19:57,000
Sprague, Borders, and Schofield.
2865
03:19:57,000 --> 03:20:01,000
13 innings of play here on a Thursday afternoon.
2866
03:20:01,000 --> 03:20:03,000
A lot of the crowd is left, they say half.
2867
03:20:03,000 --> 03:20:09,000
37,333 was the announced crowd.
2868
03:20:09,000 --> 03:20:12,000
So Osanio will try to keep the Blue Jays on the line.
2869
03:20:12,000 --> 03:20:17,000
And let the Yankees try to score a run in the bottom of the 13.
2870
03:20:17,000 --> 03:20:19,000
Sprague will lead it off.
2871
03:20:19,000 --> 03:20:25,000
Sprague, so far today, is 1-4-5 with a triple and two runs batted in.
2872
03:20:25,000 --> 03:20:28,000
Almost won the game in the 10th inning.
2873
03:20:28,000 --> 03:20:32,000
In retrospect, would have won the game when he lined one right back up the middle.
2874
03:20:32,000 --> 03:20:36,000
But Howe made a great play, just a stab of the line drive to end the inning.
2875
03:20:36,000 --> 03:20:41,000
So Sprague, who's 1-4-5, hitting 238, and he's going to be the first to score.
2876
03:20:41,000 --> 03:20:45,000
1-4-5, hitting 238, 10 home runs and 43 rebbies.
2877
03:20:45,000 --> 03:20:51,000
He's ready, Osanio's ready, and John Sterling, as always, is ready with the play-by-play.
2878
03:20:51,000 --> 03:20:55,000
And the first pitch of fastball high, 1-0.
2879
03:20:55,000 --> 03:21:00,000
Well, if it's the last game, we are getting our money's worth, eh?
2880
03:21:00,000 --> 03:21:03,000
Yes, eh.
2881
03:21:03,000 --> 03:21:05,000
Well, Toronto's here, you have to say that.
2882
03:21:05,000 --> 03:21:09,000
It'll be a 1-0 to Sprague, and the pitch inside, 2-0.
2883
03:21:09,000 --> 03:21:14,000
Melito Perez went 6 1 3rd, Bob Wickman 2 2 3rd, Howe 3.
2884
03:21:14,000 --> 03:21:19,000
Now, Osanio, who has emerged from absolutely nowhere.
2885
03:21:19,000 --> 03:21:23,000
Well, Columbus, but the Yanks didn't know about him.
2886
03:21:23,000 --> 03:21:25,000
The 2-0 is corked at deep left field.
2887
03:21:25,000 --> 03:21:29,000
Back goes Pallogna to the track, to the wall, it's gone.
2888
03:21:29,000 --> 03:21:37,000
Ed Sprague, homers in the left field seats, and Toronto takes an 8-7 lead here in the top of the 13th.
2889
03:21:37,000 --> 03:21:42,000
Now, Mike just told you that Sprague could have won the game when he hit that line dry,
2890
03:21:42,000 --> 03:21:45,000
that Howe just flicked up the glove and happened to stick in.
2891
03:21:45,000 --> 03:21:49,000
That would have brought in a run, while Sprague took it in his own hands this time.
2892
03:21:49,000 --> 03:21:53,000
Hey, Homer, deep to left, a mighty shot, his 11th home run.
2893
03:21:53,000 --> 03:21:57,000
And what is his 44th RBI?
2894
03:21:57,000 --> 03:22:01,000
Remember, he had a two-run triple early in the game that just missed going out in center field,
2895
03:22:01,000 --> 03:22:03,000
so Sprague's had a big day.
2896
03:22:03,000 --> 03:22:09,000
He hung the splitter, which is hung up right in front of Sprague's eyes as he drilled it.
2897
03:22:09,000 --> 03:22:12,000
The pitch to borders is outside 1-0.
2898
03:22:12,000 --> 03:22:15,000
Toronto takes the lead, 8-7.
2899
03:22:21,000 --> 03:22:26,000
Borders the right-hand heading catcher, the 1-0 is up high on the count, 2-0.
2900
03:22:26,000 --> 03:22:31,000
The Aggies will have Mattingly, Larritz, and Bernie Williams as their top three hitters,
2901
03:22:31,000 --> 03:22:35,000
and they have two lefty hitters on the bench in Nokes and Boston.
2902
03:22:35,000 --> 03:22:38,000
Pitch is popped up to shallow left.
2903
03:22:38,000 --> 03:22:40,000
Polonia comes in.
2904
03:22:40,000 --> 03:22:43,000
Louis will make the catch, and there is one away.
2905
03:22:47,000 --> 03:22:50,000
Shortstop, Dick Cofield.
2906
03:22:50,000 --> 03:22:54,000
What a weird game it is in many respects, but it's a great game.
2907
03:22:54,000 --> 03:22:57,000
It is, in many respects, it's very weird.
2908
03:22:57,000 --> 03:23:00,000
And you can look back at this game if your either team has said,
2909
03:23:00,000 --> 03:23:03,000
gee, we should have done this, or shouldn't have done this.
2910
03:23:03,000 --> 03:23:08,000
The Yankees made a couple of big goofs in the field today, something they normally do not do.
2911
03:23:08,000 --> 03:23:14,000
However, Dick Cofield, the right-hand hitter, is in with one out,
2912
03:23:14,000 --> 03:23:24,000
knowing on, Orsaniot deals, and Cofield runs up and takes a strike on the count, 0-1.
2913
03:23:29,000 --> 03:23:35,000
Toronto leads 8-7 here on the top of the 13th. Orsaniot will try to hold it at 8.
2914
03:23:35,000 --> 03:23:41,000
He deals low and goes back to the screen, the count, 1-1.
2915
03:23:41,000 --> 03:23:47,000
Carter a base is empty home run. Sprague a base is empty home run here in extra innings.
2916
03:23:47,000 --> 03:23:50,000
Sprague had a two-run triple earlier in the game.
2917
03:23:50,000 --> 03:23:53,000
Danny Charneval a three-run home run for the Yanks.
2918
03:23:53,000 --> 03:23:57,000
The 1-1. There's a strike on a breaking ball on the count, 1-2.
2919
03:23:57,000 --> 03:24:13,000
Now the stretch by Orsaniot, the 1-2. He struck him out swinging breaking ball.
2920
03:24:18,000 --> 03:24:20,000
So there are two way a Cofield strikes out.
2921
03:24:20,000 --> 03:24:28,000
The second baseman Domingo Cedeno. And here's Domingo Cedeno, the switch hitting second baseman,
2922
03:24:28,000 --> 03:24:32,000
who went in after Alomar came out of the game midway through.
2923
03:24:32,000 --> 03:24:37,000
Cedeno has walked twice and bounced a third.
2924
03:24:42,000 --> 03:24:45,000
There is a strike on the outside corner. At the beginning of the year,
2925
03:24:45,000 --> 03:24:50,000
Toronto's sure stop was to have been Alex Gonzalez. He didn't hit.
2926
03:24:50,000 --> 03:24:56,000
He's back in the model leagues along with their other hot shots in the minors, Delgado and Green.
2927
03:24:56,000 --> 03:24:58,000
Cedeno takes the strike.
2928
03:24:58,000 --> 03:25:02,000
Cofield became the number one sure stop and Cedeno the backup for both.
2929
03:25:02,000 --> 03:25:06,000
I think in retrospect it shows that the Blue Jays put too much emphasis on rookies.
2930
03:25:06,000 --> 03:25:11,000
You can't infiltrate three rookies or two rookies into a starting lineup of a World Championship team
2931
03:25:11,000 --> 03:25:14,000
and expect not to miss a beat. They missed the beat.
2932
03:25:14,000 --> 03:25:18,000
Well also too, it's very tough to gauge when a guy's ready or not to pitch.
2933
03:25:18,000 --> 03:25:20,000
He struck him out swinging.
2934
03:25:20,000 --> 03:25:22,000
Cedeno.
2935
03:25:22,000 --> 03:25:26,000
But Osanio gave up one run on the home run to Sprague. One hit.
2936
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:30,000
We go to the bottom of the 13th. And Toronto has an 8-7 lead.
2937
03:25:30,000 --> 03:25:35,000
He's last chance, Mattingly, Larritz and Bernie Williams against Darren Hall.
2938
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:40,000
So they give Hall another shot. This time he won't go for save, he'll go for the win.
2939
03:25:40,000 --> 03:25:47,000
You like lefties against Hall the way he pitches and Matt Nokes has come on deck for Larritz.
2940
03:25:47,000 --> 03:25:53,000
So it'll be three lefty hitters initially against Hall.
2941
03:25:53,000 --> 03:25:59,000
Try to close it out. Mattingly, Nokes and then Bernie Williams.
2942
03:25:59,000 --> 03:26:13,000
And you still have a lefty hitter left for either Gallego or Kelly, Darryl Boston.
2943
03:26:13,000 --> 03:26:23,000
Being on deck though is not in the game. So let's say Mattingly,
2944
03:26:23,000 --> 03:26:30,000
Homers for example, you don't have to send up Nokes. No one's warming in the Toronto bullpen.
2945
03:26:30,000 --> 03:26:36,000
The pitch is fastball low 1-0.
2946
03:26:36,000 --> 03:26:39,000
Hall comes somewhere between three quarters inside.
2947
03:26:39,000 --> 03:26:45,000
I'm kind of slings the ball. It'll be a 1-0 to Mattingly.
2948
03:26:45,000 --> 03:26:48,000
Low 2-0. It looks like it's tough on his arm. Wouldn't you think that?
2949
03:26:48,000 --> 03:26:52,000
You would think the way he comes almost buggy with.
2950
03:26:52,000 --> 03:26:55,000
How badly do you think Mattingly wants to jack one out of here right now?
2951
03:26:55,000 --> 03:27:01,000
Badly. He is one for five on the day. Yankees trail bottom of the 13th, 8-7.
2952
03:27:01,000 --> 03:27:05,000
The right-handed Darren Hall deals 2-0.
2953
03:27:05,000 --> 03:27:10,000
Low 3-0. I think the Yankees probably made a mistake at swinging some of his pitches.
2954
03:27:10,000 --> 03:27:12,000
Had to be at first and third, knowing how.
2955
03:27:12,000 --> 03:27:17,000
He does throw everything sinking low. He throws what they would call a heavy ball.
2956
03:27:17,000 --> 03:27:22,000
The 3-0. There is a strike on the knees on the count of three and one.
2957
03:27:22,000 --> 03:27:28,000
Now they've pulled Nokes off deck and put Darrell Boston there, which I don't understand.
2958
03:27:28,000 --> 03:27:33,000
Because you are pinch-hitting for the catcher. Why are you burning an extra player?
2959
03:27:33,000 --> 03:27:38,000
You're absolutely right.
2960
03:27:38,000 --> 03:27:43,000
It'll be a 3-1 to Mattingly, way outside.
2961
03:27:43,000 --> 03:27:52,000
A lot of Hall's pitches go, in effect, down in a way, kind of Scrooge-like from the arm movement, the arm delivery.
2962
03:27:52,000 --> 03:27:58,000
You know, you have a very good point. But I guess Buccus wants to put him up in this order for whatever reason.
2963
03:27:58,000 --> 03:28:02,000
The reason I don't know.
2964
03:28:02,000 --> 03:28:06,000
Because Nokes will be used to hit for either Gallego or Kelly.
2965
03:28:06,000 --> 03:28:12,000
And of course, if you don't get that far in the game, the game is over, so it doesn't hurt you.
2966
03:28:12,000 --> 03:28:19,000
He also knows that Boston's a pretty good off-speed breaking ball hitter, and that's exactly what Hall's been throwing.
2967
03:28:19,000 --> 03:28:24,000
Well, the tying line is at first no one out, and once again, left-handed Castillo.
2968
03:28:24,000 --> 03:28:29,000
The pitch to Boston, ground and foul. And right-handed Timlin, get up.
2969
03:28:29,000 --> 03:28:33,000
This time they got up Rigetti, John.
2970
03:28:33,000 --> 03:28:38,000
Which I don't understand. So it's Rigetti and Timlin.
2971
03:28:38,000 --> 03:28:43,000
Oh, it's not Castillo. It's Riggs. It was Castillo before when they sat down.
2972
03:28:43,000 --> 03:28:50,000
Oh, that is Riggs. Now they bring up Riggs. That's easy to see.
2973
03:28:50,000 --> 03:28:55,000
That'll be an 0-1 to Boston. Mattingly, the tying runoff first pitch outside.
2974
03:28:55,000 --> 03:29:01,000
And the count 1-1. One thing I know, you have to lay off the pitch.
2975
03:29:01,000 --> 03:29:06,000
I mean, it's very tough to do. The sinking pitch, and most of his pitches are sinking low.
2976
03:29:06,000 --> 03:29:10,000
First time the Yanks have ever seen Darren Hall.
2977
03:29:10,000 --> 03:29:14,000
It'll be a 1-1. Fouled off.
2978
03:29:14,000 --> 03:29:18,000
And the count 1-2. He reached for an outside pitch.
2979
03:29:18,000 --> 03:29:25,000
Bernie Williams on deck.
2980
03:29:25,000 --> 03:29:37,000
A game that has gone over four hours.
2981
03:29:37,000 --> 03:29:43,000
Mattingly, the tying runoff. And of course, Boston at home late. The winning run.
2982
03:29:43,000 --> 03:29:49,000
Here's the 1-2. That's low on the count 2-2.
2983
03:29:49,000 --> 03:29:55,000
Hall really staying away from Boston. The center fielder, Mike Hup, is playing several steps.
2984
03:29:55,000 --> 03:30:03,000
Maybe five, six steps toward left center field. Coles and left just straight away.
2985
03:30:03,000 --> 03:30:11,000
It'll be a 2-2. Lays off the outside pitch just in the count 3-2.
2986
03:30:11,000 --> 03:30:16,000
Well, Mattingly will not be going because that would be a strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play.
2987
03:30:16,000 --> 03:30:22,000
But now Hall has to throw a strike.
2988
03:30:22,000 --> 03:30:30,000
So he's got to make the pitch a little more palatable for Darrell Boston.
2989
03:30:30,000 --> 03:30:36,000
And now, Gerald Williams goes in to run for Mattingly. And you can bet your boots he will be off.
2990
03:30:36,000 --> 03:30:42,000
And no question about it now.
2991
03:30:42,000 --> 03:30:52,000
So Mattingly leaves. Gerald Williams goes in to run for him.
2992
03:30:52,000 --> 03:30:58,000
And Buck Showalter is holding up a sign saying he is running 3-2.
2993
03:30:58,000 --> 03:31:06,000
And no question about it. Why would you do that if you didn't do it before?
2994
03:31:06,000 --> 03:31:10,000
So Gerald Williams gets the lead at first. It'll be a 3-2 to Boston.
2995
03:31:10,000 --> 03:31:22,000
And a throw over and Gerald jumps on back.
2996
03:31:22,000 --> 03:31:27,000
Darrell Boston ready to swing 3-2.
2997
03:31:27,000 --> 03:31:33,000
If Hall misses, the Yankees will have the tying run at second and the winning run at first.
2998
03:31:33,000 --> 03:31:38,000
And here's the 3-2. Runner goes. Pitch is ground to foul. What a jump Gerald Williams had.
2999
03:31:38,000 --> 03:31:45,000
If Boston had struck out, Waters had no chance. He had a fabulous jump against Darin Hall.
3000
03:31:45,000 --> 03:31:52,000
You know, conceivably, I'm just guessing, but I bet Gerald Williams has seen Hall before.
3001
03:31:52,000 --> 03:31:55,000
Because they both were in the International League last year.
3002
03:31:55,000 --> 03:32:03,000
Sure, Syracuse against Columbus. That's a good point.
3003
03:32:03,000 --> 03:32:09,000
Gerald inches off. There he goes. The 3-2 hammered. Great stop by O'Rourke. He fumbles it. Goes to the bag.
3004
03:32:09,000 --> 03:32:14,000
And touches up. Nice stop by O'Rourke. That would have been a base hit to right field. Boston hit it hard.
3005
03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:19,000
You can see why Hall is effective. He gets a lot of ground balls.
3006
03:32:19,000 --> 03:32:23,000
The pitch was over the outside corner.
3007
03:32:23,000 --> 03:32:28,000
That was a great play, John. He moved so quickly to his right.
3008
03:32:28,000 --> 03:32:34,000
Boston really scorched it. Kept it real close to the earth. But a great play moving to his right by O'Rourke.
3009
03:32:34,000 --> 03:32:37,000
He stopped the ball, stayed with it, picked it up and stepped on the bag.
3010
03:32:37,000 --> 03:32:43,000
And he saved the first and third situation. Indeed.
3011
03:32:43,000 --> 03:32:52,000
Now there's a ball on the field, I think, escaped. So Joe Carter will go out right field and throw it away.
3012
03:32:52,000 --> 03:33:01,000
Hall's pitches are almost like a right hand side armor who will deliver. Like Mark Eichorn, for example.
3013
03:33:01,000 --> 03:33:04,000
Or the guy who used to be with the Mets.
3014
03:33:04,000 --> 03:33:12,000
Terry Leach. They come up and sink down and away from the angle in which they are thrown.
3015
03:33:12,000 --> 03:33:16,000
You almost have to go with that pitch with the Yankees having been doing the trying to pull that pitch.
3016
03:33:16,000 --> 03:33:23,000
The pitch to Bernie is on the inside corner for a strike to keep Bernie honest.
3017
03:33:23,000 --> 03:33:27,000
I guess they did that in the top of the inning. Didn't notice. It's starting to get a little overcast.
3018
03:33:27,000 --> 03:33:33,000
It's been overcast all day, but a little darker.
3019
03:33:33,000 --> 03:33:39,000
The tying run is at second with one out. The Yankees have two shots at it.
3020
03:33:39,000 --> 03:33:44,000
There's the 0-1. It's inside. Another slider.
3021
03:33:44,000 --> 03:33:49,000
Last two pitches have been sliders down and in to Bernie.
3022
03:33:49,000 --> 03:33:53,000
Basically, Hall throws a sinking fastball.
3023
03:33:53,000 --> 03:34:04,000
And as I mentioned, they almost, when he delivers the ball to the outside part of the play against the left-handed, they sink almost down and away.
3024
03:34:04,000 --> 03:34:15,000
The 1-1. There's a strike. Another breaking ball on the count 1-2.
3025
03:34:15,000 --> 03:34:20,000
Good breaking pitch. It might have been a little bit below the knees. That's why Bernie was arguing.
3026
03:34:20,000 --> 03:34:24,000
That's where it was caught, but maybe it cascaded over the plate right around the knees.
3027
03:34:24,000 --> 03:34:29,000
Yankees have one left-hand hitter next. Left, I should say.
3028
03:34:29,000 --> 03:34:40,000
They might use him for Gallego. Let's see. It'll be a 1-2. Just missed outside on the count 2-2.
3029
03:34:40,000 --> 03:34:48,000
But Hall has kind of advertised the slider down and in, so Bernie can't go reaching over the plate.
3030
03:34:48,000 --> 03:34:53,000
Where Hall probably wants the pitch, I'm just guessing.
3031
03:34:53,000 --> 03:35:00,000
The tying run. Gerald Williams leads off second. And the 2-2. He struck him out swinging. They're two-way.
3032
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:12,000
The Yanks are down to their final out. They'll use notes for Gallego.
3033
03:35:12,000 --> 03:35:22,000
He changed speeds on that one. Third ball diving down at the last moment. It was kind of up in the zone, but it had enough of a drop to it that Bernie Williams swung over the top.
3034
03:35:22,000 --> 03:35:35,000
Also the change of speed got him.
3035
03:35:35,000 --> 03:35:44,000
Well, this is it, and here comes Galen Siscoe to probably talk to Hall about how to pitch to Notes.
3036
03:35:44,000 --> 03:35:55,000
Notes has never seen Hall before, unless he might have seen him in a spring training game. I doubt it.
3037
03:35:55,000 --> 03:36:06,000
And our sound system, we gave him the names, those were the days. Those were the days, my friend.
3038
03:36:06,000 --> 03:36:17,000
We thought they'd never run. That's what I thought. I thought they might end October 3rd, and I was hoping maybe October 28th or so.
3039
03:36:17,000 --> 03:36:31,000
Wouldn't that be your anniversary? 30th. 30th.
3040
03:36:31,000 --> 03:36:38,000
You get your best Biven Tucker ready for that. You're going to have a blowout of that one. Really? Yep.
3041
03:36:38,000 --> 03:36:47,000
Alright. The 28th and the 30th. Both. Hopefully the 28th will be the end of the series. 30th for sure.
3042
03:36:47,000 --> 03:36:54,000
Here's Matt Notes, two outs. Gerald Williams at second, and the pitch is swung on and driven to deep right center field.
3043
03:36:54,000 --> 03:37:01,000
That goes Huff. He's there in deep right center, makes the catch, and the ball game is over. And in 13 innings,
3044
03:37:01,000 --> 03:37:09,000
Toronto has beaten the Yankees by the score of 8-7 on the home run by Ed Sprague in the top of the inning.
3045
03:37:09,000 --> 03:37:19,000
Notes hit it very well, and Huff caught it on the very edge of the warning track in deep right center field.
3046
03:37:19,000 --> 03:37:26,000
The game goes 4-0-6. It also goes 13 innings, and Toronto is the victor, 8-7.
3047
03:37:26,000 --> 03:37:32,000
Well, they're going to go. They certainly went out with a pretty funky ball game. A lot of things went on in this one.
3048
03:37:32,000 --> 03:37:39,000
Yankees put a little sloppy defense in the outfield, but for the most part, an entertaining ball game, 8-7.
3049
03:37:39,000 --> 03:37:45,000
They kept it four more innings, and it should have gone, and if they go on strike, well, that's a pity. That's a shame.
3050
03:37:45,000 --> 03:37:52,000
We hope it doesn't happen. We'll make the play. Don't do it. Don't do it. But I don't think anybody's listening to us.
3051
03:37:52,000 --> 03:37:58,000
All the fans have been saying the same thing. And about 12 midnight tonight, we'll know for sure what the story is,
3052
03:37:58,000 --> 03:38:01,000
and I think we all know what the story is. We hope the story changes.
3053
03:38:01,000 --> 03:38:05,000
We hope the ending is a completely different ending than we've been expecting throughout the book.
3054
03:38:05,000 --> 03:38:12,000
So this is just the ball game. Tonight is the season.
3055
03:38:12,000 --> 03:38:17,000
Well said, Michael. Well, I know I'll see you tomorrow. I just don't know where.
3056
03:38:17,000 --> 03:38:24,000
I'll see you either here at 645 for Yankee pregame before the second game of the four-game weekend series,
3057
03:38:24,000 --> 03:38:28,000
or I'll see you at Mickey Mantles at 7.
3058
03:38:28,000 --> 03:38:31,000
Well, as much as I like Mickey Mantles, I'd rather see you right here.
3059
03:38:31,000 --> 03:38:39,000
Right. Well, we'll hope that, and if not, see you at Mickey's. Thank you, Michael.
3060
03:38:39,000 --> 03:38:47,000
Here are the totals on the ball game.
3061
03:38:47,000 --> 03:38:57,000
For the Blue Jays, as they win it in 13 innings, 8 runs, 12 hits, 1 error. They left 9. For the Yanks, 7 runs, 9 hits, 1 error.
3062
03:38:57,000 --> 03:39:06,000
They left 8. Darren Hall wins it. He's 2 and 3. Joe Osanio loses. He's 2 and 1.
3063
03:39:06,000 --> 03:39:11,000
They drew.
3064
03:39:11,000 --> 03:39:20,000
They drew 37,333. The Yankees in their last 10 games averaged, I think it's almost on the nose, right around there.
3065
03:39:20,000 --> 03:39:28,000
40,000 people a game in their last 10 games. So don't tell me business ain't good. Business is good, pal.
3066
03:39:28,000 --> 03:39:36,000
With the loss, the Yankees dropped to 70 and 43, and the Blue Jays improved to 55 and 60.
3067
03:39:36,000 --> 03:39:40,000
Yankee postgame is next if you have the chance. Stay tuned.
3068
03:39:40,000 --> 03:39:49,000
The final in 13 innings today, Toronto 8, Yankee 7, and from Yankee Stadium in New York. This is New York Yankees baseball.
3069
03:39:49,000 --> 03:39:54,000
We're at the beach where everyone's talking about going naked. Hey, when's the last time you went naked?
3070
03:39:54,000 --> 03:39:58,000
When I went naked? I can't explain that right now. I went skinny dipping in the ocean.
3071
03:39:58,000 --> 03:40:01,000
Tingly. Probably about three hours ago.
3072
03:40:01,000 --> 03:40:05,000
When you get Mystic, you go naked. Hey, naked is natural, believe me.
3073
03:40:05,000 --> 03:40:08,000
I think you kind of get the picture. Mystic, 100% natural fruit beverage.
3074
03:40:08,000 --> 03:40:10,000
And it comes in a bunch of cool flavors.
3075
03:40:10,000 --> 03:40:12,000
Caribbean fruit puns. It's fruity.
3076
03:40:12,000 --> 03:40:16,000
Tangy, zippy. And you can like really taste the peaches, it's like peach.
3077
03:40:16,000 --> 03:40:19,000
Mystic's so natural, it's like going naked. It's like my mom just made it.
3078
03:40:19,000 --> 03:40:22,000
Mystic. Mystic. Mystic. My taste buds are dancing.
3079
03:40:22,000 --> 03:40:24,000
Oh yeah, shoot the curl, man.
3080
03:40:24,000 --> 03:40:27,000
Get Mystic and go naked.
3081
03:40:27,000 --> 03:40:31,000
And I love being naked. No preservatives, no additives.
3082
03:40:31,000 --> 03:40:33,000
I can't stop drinking it. Nothing funky.
3083
03:40:33,000 --> 03:40:35,000
That's really good. No sanding, not at all.
3084
03:40:35,000 --> 03:40:37,000
Good ice tea. Let's go naked again.
3085
03:40:37,000 --> 03:40:39,000
Get Mystic and go naked.
3086
03:40:39,000 --> 03:40:44,000
Check it out. The editor of Quick Magazine rated Mystic number one out of seven leading iced teas.
3087
03:40:44,000 --> 03:40:49,000
Look for 100% delicious Mystic fruit drinks and iced teas at your local Pathmark at A&P.
3088
03:40:49,000 --> 03:40:52,000
Okay, kid, you know the drill.
3089
03:40:52,000 --> 03:40:56,000
We stall out here on the mound until I can get a reliever warmed up for you.
3090
03:40:56,000 --> 03:40:58,000
Yeah, sorry, Coach. I just ran out of gas.
3091
03:40:58,000 --> 03:41:00,000
No, you didn't. Huh?
3092
03:41:00,000 --> 03:41:01,000
You can't run out of gas.
3093
03:41:01,000 --> 03:41:05,000
Oil? Oil you can run out of. Gas? No way.
3094
03:41:05,000 --> 03:41:06,000
But, Coach, and...
3095
03:41:06,000 --> 03:41:09,000
Gas is cleaner, too. Costs less to use than oil heat.
3096
03:41:09,000 --> 03:41:11,000
And you don't have to wait for delivery.
3097
03:41:11,000 --> 03:41:12,000
But, Coach, you already told me...
3098
03:41:12,000 --> 03:41:14,000
Me? I converted to gas eight years ago.
3099
03:41:14,000 --> 03:41:16,000
Takes no time at all.
3100
03:41:16,000 --> 03:41:19,000
For less than 50 bucks, you can get a one-year service contract.
3101
03:41:19,000 --> 03:41:22,000
But, Coach, you told me about switching to gas during spring training.
3102
03:41:22,000 --> 03:41:24,000
And? Uh-oh, here comes the um.
3103
03:41:24,000 --> 03:41:27,000
Okay, come on, Harry. You bringing in a reliever or what?
3104
03:41:27,000 --> 03:41:28,000
I know a...
3105
03:41:28,000 --> 03:41:31,000
Don't wait for winter before bringing in your relief.
3106
03:41:31,000 --> 03:41:35,000
If you're a PSE&G customer, switch to gas heat now.
3107
03:41:35,000 --> 03:41:41,000
Just call 1-800-352-8666. That's 1-800-352-8666.
3108
03:41:41,000 --> 03:41:42,000
You're kidding.
3109
03:41:42,000 --> 03:41:44,000
Nope, he still hasn't switched to gas.
3110
03:41:44,000 --> 03:41:46,000
Well, I haven't had the time.
3111
03:41:46,000 --> 03:41:49,000
Hey, looks to me like you got the rest of the afternoon.
3112
03:41:49,000 --> 03:41:50,000
Now, wait a minute.
3113
03:41:50,000 --> 03:41:52,000
Oh, get out, I hear you.
3114
03:41:52,000 --> 03:42:13,000

03:43:39,000 --> 03:43:52,000
We go to the highlights of the ballgame. The Yankees lost it in 13. The game went back and forth about 10 different times. 8-7 to Toronto. Blue Jays grabbed the early lead.
3120
03:43:52,000 --> 03:44:09,000
The second inning with one out, O'Rourke singled and Huff walked. And with two outs, Ed Sprague came up and he drilled a terrific shot to deep center. Went off the very top of the center field wall, just to the right field side of the 408 foot sign. And went off the wall maybe an inch or two from the very top.
3121
03:44:09,000 --> 03:44:30,000
And the Yankees came back for a triple for Sprague, the first of his big hits of the day. And Toronto had a 2-0 lead. But the Yankees took the lead in the third inning. Michael Kay was at the microphone when Gallego lined out and Pat Kelly kind of jump started the Yankee offense with a bunt single down the third baseline.
3122
03:44:30,000 --> 03:44:49,000
Luis Bologna lined a double down the left field line to put runners at second and third. Wade Boggs at a sack fly to center field. Kelly crossed and it was a 2-1 game. And then Paul O'Neill drew a walk. So there were two on, two out, two on Toronto and Danny Tartable at the plate.
3123
03:44:49,000 --> 03:45:04,000
And then Hanken sets, checks Bologna, the 2-1. Swung out and hit deep to left field. See ya. Home run and a Yankees lead 4-2. Oh what a shot by Danny Tartable.
3124
03:45:04,000 --> 03:45:26,000
And Danny hit a three run home run. It was 4-2. However, the Blue Jays came back in the sixth inning against Milito Perez. Molitor's single and with one out, O'Rourke walked and then Mike Huff doubled in a run.
3125
03:45:26,000 --> 03:45:42,000
He hit the runners at second and third and made it 4-3. And the next hitter was Darnell Coles. Here's Darnell Coles. And the pitch is a high fly to left center. That will tie the game.
3126
03:45:42,000 --> 03:45:59,000
Bologna and deep left makes the catch. O'Rourke could walk home. The throw comes to our third. It's going to go in the Toronto dugout. No one was there and I think the run is going to be allowed home. It is. So Huff scores all the way from second as Bologna threw the ball to the Toronto dugout.
3127
03:45:59,000 --> 03:46:16,000
He threw close at his 5-4 Toronto. Yeah and I went on if you heard the play by play I said he could have run the ball in, he could have walked the ball in, he could have rolled the ball in. He wound up trying to muscle the throw to third was way off line. There was no one there.
3128
03:46:16,000 --> 03:46:32,000
He threw the ball practically directly into the Toronto dugout and Huff is allowed an extra base. He scored. And so Toronto took a 5-4 lead. But the Yankees regained the lead in the sixth inning. Charleville struck out and Mattingly flied out.
3129
03:46:32,000 --> 03:46:46,000
But then Layretts walked. Bernie Williams singled and Gallego on a 3-2 pitch walk. Bases loaded two outs. It brought up Pat Kelly. The 1-2. Kerrball is lined. It's in the field. It is a base hit. Layretts scores.
3130
03:46:46,000 --> 03:47:04,000
Bernie Williams scores a two run, two out single for Pat Kelly and the Yankees take a 6-5 lead. So the 6-5 lead lasted until the eighth and then remember Bologna's throwing error, a ridiculous throw into the dugout cost the Yanks a run.
3131
03:47:04,000 --> 03:47:16,000
Well, Bernie Williams' bad defensive play in center field cost him a run in the eighth. John O'Rourke led off. He lined a pitch. Well, why don't you hear it? Here's what O'Rourke did in the eighth.
3132
03:47:16,000 --> 03:47:35,000
The 1-1 is lined to center field. On the run is Bernie. Has to play it on a hop and it gets by him. It rolls all the way toward the warning track. O'Rourke around second. He'll go to third. Terrible sloppy play by the Yankees and O'Rourke has a three base hit.
3133
03:47:35,000 --> 03:47:47,000
It could be a single and a two base error. Bernie put on the brakes, slipped and the ball went past him. So it should have been a single to center field has turned into three bases and there's the tying run.
3134
03:47:47,000 --> 03:48:05,000
Yeah, it was going to score a triple. So after an out, Coles doubled down the left field line to tie the game and we went to the bottom of the eighth inning. The Yankees didn't score. Neither team scored in the ninth. In fact, neither team scored till the 12th.
3135
03:48:05,000 --> 03:48:23,000
And with one out, Joe Carter hit one deep down the left field line, hit the foul pole for a home run and Toronto had a 7-6 lead. But in the bottom of the 12th, Luis Polonia led off with a double. Boggs had an infield single sending Louis to third and O'Neill chopped a ground ball up the middle, turned into a double play.
3136
03:48:23,000 --> 03:48:40,000
And that tied the game at seven and we went to the 13th and now Joe Osanio is pitching and with Osanio on the mound, the leadoff hitter was Ed Sprague. We're calling this the quality play of the game. It's brought to you by the United Auto Workers, UAW and Ford, working together for quality.
3137
03:48:40,000 --> 03:48:54,000
The 2-0 is corked at deep left field. Back goes Polonia to the track. To the wall it's gone. Ed Sprague, Homer's in the left field seats and Toronto takes an 8-7 lead here in the top of the 13th.
3138
03:48:54,000 --> 03:49:08,000
In the bottom of the 13th, the Yankees did get a leadoff walk from Mattingly. However, Darryl Boston grounded out. Bernie Williams struck out. Matt Nokes flied out and the Yankees had lost the ballgame by the score of 8-7.
3139
03:49:08,000 --> 03:49:24,000
8-12 and 1 for Toronto, they left 9. 7-9 and 1 for the Yanks, they left 8. Darren Hall wins it, he's 2-3. Joe Osanio loses, he's 2-1. The Yankees fall to 70 and 43 with the loss. And Toronto improves to 55 and 60.
3140
03:49:24,000 --> 03:49:44,000
And Ed Sprague with the 2-run triple and the home run is our Computer Associates star of the game. Computer Associates, makers of software superior by design.
