00:00Eastside, Dave. Dave, what do we got?
00:02Okay, we're going to start with baseball, where we had more MLB playoff games last night.
00:09The Phillies were shut out by Kyle Wright and the Atlanta Braves, 3-0.
00:14Oh, those stinking Braves.
00:16That series, though, now tied one game apiece.
00:19Game three, Friday in Philadelphia.
00:22The Padres beat the Dodgers 5-3 to even up that series at one game apiece.
00:28Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth each homered for San Diego.
00:32And game three is Friday, and that is in San Diego as well.
00:38Today, the Mariners take on the Astros in Houston for game two of that series.
00:44Seattle suffered a brutal loss to the Astros,
00:47who came back after being down 7-3 in the eighth inning
00:50to win in the bottom of the ninth, 8-7.
00:54That all happened in game one.
00:56Can they bounce back from that?
00:57I hope so, but boy, oh boy, after that brutal of a loss,
01:02I feel like the Mariners are a lost cause to bump off the Astros.
01:06And then at 7-30, the Yankees match up against the Cleveland Guardians
01:11for game two of their ALDS series.
01:14We just need another win, right?
01:16That's all we need.
01:17One more?
01:17Two more wins.
01:18Three out of five.
01:19And then one more after that.
01:19Yeah, it's a three out of five series.
01:22Now, so two more wins is what we need.
01:24Nasty Nestor Cortez is on the mound for the Yanks.
01:28Nestor had a tremendous season going 12-4 with a 2.44 ERA,
01:34making his first All-Star team.
01:37He's been spectacular, and he finished strong, too, in September,
01:40so that's a good thing.
01:41Who do the Guardians have?
01:43Cleveland will be putting out Shane Bieber.
01:46He's a hard-throwing, good-looking right-hander,
01:49and he also has a lot of talent.
01:51He has shut down the Yankees in the past, but, again, it's the postseason.
01:56He's got to figure out a way to get a few hits here and there and win that game.
02:01You know, I feel like the Yankees.
02:02Foul a bunch off and get into the bullpen.
02:04I feel like the Yankees are the better team.
02:07Hopefully they can go out there and win this.
02:09Nestor Cortez has been brilliant this year.
02:11Basketball, Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons looking to finally get back onto the court this year
02:16after missing a year and a half of basketball due to anxiety.
02:21And the All-Star swingman says the key to his happiness right now
02:24is spending very little time on social media.
02:28He says, quote,
02:29Even the other day there was a clip of me airballing a shot at the park.
02:33Like, come on, man, you think I'm just airballing every shot?
02:36It's not true, but you can't take everything personally.
02:39It's social media.
02:40Come on, man.
02:41I mean, that's...
02:42It is...
02:42I get it.
02:43Social media is really...
02:45It sucks.
02:47It absolutely stinks sometimes.
02:49But at the same time...
02:51It was funny.
02:52You have to have a little bit of skin there.
02:53He was at a park in Brooklyn shooting hoops and he airballed it.
02:57And so some guy captured it on camera and now it went viral
03:00because even his, like, you know, just playing at a park, he airballs shots.
03:06Lower the net.
03:08I don't know what happened to this guy.
03:09I mean, you know, hopefully he's able to put everything behind him and have a good season
03:13because the Nets are counting on him to play this year.
03:16Football Raiders wide receiver Devontae Adams was cited for assault after shoving a photographer
03:23after Monday night's loss to the Chief.
03:27Adams has since apologized.
03:29This guy is the Pro Bowl receiver that Aaron Rodgers used to love to throw to.
03:33And maybe Rodgers is struggling a little bit because all the Packers are 4-1.
03:37So we'll see what happens.
03:39And then finally tonight kicks off week 6 of the NFL season
03:43where you've got the Washington Commanders taking on the Chicago Bears.
03:48Got to get my picks in, Dave.
03:49Yes.
03:50In Chicago.
03:51Get your picks in at WRAT.com for the Rats Pro Football Pickup Challenge.
03:55Washington is 1-4.
03:56They've looked bad.
03:57Bears haven't looked that much better.
03:59They're 2-3.
04:00Now the Thursday night toilet bowl.
04:02Is that what you're saying?
04:03I'll be watching the Yankees.
04:04I won't be watching Washington and the Bears.
04:07I'll be honest.
04:08And that's your quick look at sports.
