00:00Eastside Dave, Quick Sports, here you go.
00:02Okay, we're going to start with baseball, where the Yankees continued their positive momentum
00:07with a dominant 13-4 victory over the Oakland A's last night.
00:11Oh, the bats are cracking again.
00:12There we go.
00:13Every single Yankee starter had at least one hit.
00:16The Yankees had 20 hits in total to go with the 13 runs.
00:19Wow.
00:20Andrew Benintendi and rookie Oswaldo Cabrera each had three hits, as did Josh Donaldson.
00:25And Giancarlo Stanton returned to the team last night.
00:29That was huge.
00:30He picked up a hit in his first game.
00:33Back.
00:33Nice.
00:33That's great news.
00:34Yeah, he was looking good.
00:36Jamison Tyone picked up the win to improve to 12-4.
00:39The Yankees are now 77-48.
00:41Once again, we'll play Oakland tonight, as the Yankees have won four in a row.
00:45And the A's are absolutely terrible.
00:47So we really should get a four-game sweep here.
00:50There should be a mop-up, right?
00:51It should be.
00:52Because not only were they bad, but then they even traded their few good players right before
00:58the trade deadline.
00:59So they should be even worse.
01:00The Mets, meanwhile, took down the Colorado Rockies yesterday.
01:04Final score, Mets 3, Rockies 1.
01:07Congratulations, Mindy.
01:09Jacob DeGrom looked excellent on the mound for the Mets.
01:11DeGrom threw six innings, giving up just the one run while striking out nine.
01:15And he picks up the win.
01:17Pete Alonso slugged his 31st home run of the season.
01:20The Mets are now 80-46.
01:22The Phillies shut out the Reds yesterday, 4-0.
01:25Phillies starter Aaron Nola lights out, throwing a complete game shutout.
01:31Wow.
01:31It's so rare to see a complete game these days.
01:34Seriously.
01:34Nolan threw nine innings, giving up no runs while striking out 11.
01:38Kyle Schwarber hit his 35th home run of the year for the Phillies, who at 70-55, still
01:44in the second National League wildcard spot and playing very good baseball.
01:49Football.
01:50We had some preseason football last night.
01:52The Chiefs beat the Packers 17-10, and the Texans defeated the 49ers 17-0.
01:58Now, on Saturday, the Eagles will go up against the Dolphins.
02:02And then on Sunday, we always love this, when the Giants and Jets play each other.
02:07I like it.
02:08I like to call it the Toilet Bowl.
02:09Toilet Bowl.
02:10But both teams are 2-0 this season.
02:12They are 2-0.
02:12Well, this preseason, let me be fair.
02:14Free.
02:15Of course, that game's at MetLife Stadium.
02:17Kickoff is at 1 o'clock.
02:20Golfer, former No. 1 golfer in the world, Lee Westwood, who is now on the Live Golf Tour
02:27out of Saudi Arabia, says the new changes that the PGA Tour is considering are laughable.
02:34The PGA Tour is trying to compete with the Live Tour, so they're trying to now offer guaranteed
02:40contracts, $500,000 minimum contracts to players across the board.
02:45Of course, Lee Westwood pointed out, Phil Mickelson got $250 million of guaranteed money.
02:54I have a question.
02:56The Live Tour, are they playing in Saudi Arabia?
03:00Yeah, for the most part.
03:01Do they get access to golf courses around the world?
03:04Yes, they get access to golf courses around the world.
03:06They got access to, I believe, Trump's course right here in Jersey.
03:10Right, right.
03:10So they can get access to other prestigious golf courses.
03:16But the problem is, with that, the PGA Tour, if you're going to host the Live, don't ever
03:22expect to host a PGA Tour again for the rest of your lives.
03:25You think so?
03:26Okay.
03:26Oh, no, no, no.
03:27This is it.
03:29The PGA Tour is throwing...
03:31It's us or them.
03:32Yeah.
03:32It is, because there have been so many superstars that jumped over to Live that this really
03:39is a tough thing.
03:40So, yeah, this is a cutthroat thing now.
03:43You're either in with the PGA or you're in with Live.
03:46You're not going to be in with both.
03:47Hey, I'm with Rodney on this one.
03:49Biggest waste of real estate since we bought that property on the good side of the wall.
03:56What?
03:56Oh, what side of the wall?
03:59Isn't that right, Wang?
04:01I don't know.
04:01Wait, wait, what?
04:02It's a Caddyshack reference.
04:03Oh, oh, oh, oh.
04:04I forget the quote.
04:05What was the quote?
04:07What did he say?
04:08Oh, golf is the biggest day of real estate since what?
04:10Biggest waste of real estate since, and the rest of the quote escapes me at this exact
04:17second.
04:17Oh, okay.
04:18But he's got a parking lot over here and a strip mall over there.
04:22Well, there you go.
04:23I mean, that's what it's all about.
04:26Basketball.
04:26Minnesota Timberwolves Tari and Prince was arrested at Miami International Airport.
04:31On a fugitive warrant out of Texas.
04:34And we're told it's drugs.
04:36Drugs.
04:37Good thing he wasn't flying to Russia.
04:38Drug charge.
04:40Oh, yeah, I know.
04:42Can't be doing that.
04:43And then finally, and we are having a little write-up, an in-depth write-up on today's sports report.
04:50Each sports report is featured at WRAT.com.
04:53Hope you're checking them all out.
04:55Exclusive videos and stuff.
04:57But this one we're going to cover in more depth is Shaquille O'Neal is suggesting that
05:01the world is not round.
05:03Listen to his theory, though.
05:05He didn't say flat.
05:07He's not round?
05:08He just says it's not necessarily round, specifically because he says, quote, you know how they say
05:15the world is spinning?
05:17I've been living on a house on a lake for 30 years, and not once did the lake rotate to
05:23the left or the right.
05:26Furthermore, he's not kidding.
05:29Furthermore, Shaq pointed out he recently took a flight, and the plane seemed to go straight.
05:35It never curved.
05:37Yeah.
05:38So.
05:38Didn't go upside down either, I'll bet.
05:41Right now, Bill Nye, the science guy's head, has exploded, and there's Nye brain matter
05:46all over his office.
05:48Did Shaq skip?
05:49Did he get an athletic scholarship from whatever school he went?
05:53Well, he didn't.
05:54I don't.
05:55I thought he came out of LSU his sophomore year.
05:59Can we get him?
06:00Because he was so big and dominant.
06:01So I'm not sure.
06:02He may have gone back and graduated, though.
06:04His parents believed in graduation.
06:06Don't forget, his dad was in the Army.
06:08He was raised by good, strict people here.
06:10And don't forget, technically, he was born in Jersey.
06:13He's a Jersey guy.
06:14I don't think his education worked very well.
06:17Can we get some of that student debt relief over his way so he can go back to school and
06:21learn that the goddamn earth is freaking round once and for all?
06:24Listen.
06:25You big.
06:26The plane never curved.
06:30It never curved.
06:30It flew straight the whole way.
06:31And when he's sitting in the lake there, just floating on his raft.
06:34I never saw the water.
06:35Shaq never, yeah, the plant never tilted.
06:38Never tilted, never turned.
06:39Think about it like this.
06:40If he was on his float in the lake and the world truly did rotate, he'd be falling off the
06:46float all the time.
06:47And it's not just that.
06:48If the world spun like they say, wouldn't we all be nauseous by now?
06:52Exactly.
06:53I can't ride the magic spinny thing over at Six Flags Great Adventure without puking after.
06:57You can't do it.
06:58Teacups, forget about it.
06:59So maybe it's not spinning.
07:03Thank you, Shaq.
07:04Okay.
07:06That's your quick look at sports.
