00:00Quick sports from Eastside, Dave. Dave, what do you got?
00:02Yes, sir. Well, it's all about baseball as the MLB postseason begins today.
00:08We're going to look at the wildcard round matchups for the four games on the schedule.
00:12Today, remember, this is a two out of three round series.
00:17Each series is two out of three games with each home team getting all three games in their home ballpark because of having the higher seat.
00:25So, at 12 o'clock, the Rays take on the Guardians in Cleveland as Cleveland was the division winner and they're taking on the Rays, the third wildcard spot.
00:35At 2 o'clock, the Phillies go against the Cardinals in St. Louis.
00:40Zach Wheeler on the mound for the Phillies. That name sounds familiar. He's a former Met.
00:45At 4 o'clock, you have the Mariners playing the Blue Jays in Toronto.
00:49And then, at 8 o'clock, the Mets match up against the Padres for a big three-game series at Citi Field.
00:59Max Scherzer will be on the mound for the Mets.
01:01He'll be up against Hugh Darvish, who will take the hill for the Padres.
01:04Should be a good series, but the Mets are expected to win, according to all of the various sportsbooks that I looked at this morning.
01:12Well, you got a full day of baseball. That's like noon till, what, 11 o'clock?
01:17Oh, my God. At least, yeah. Noon to 11, 11.30, maybe even midnight if the Mets game goes long.
01:24Scherzer obviously has to bring it.
01:26The early word on the street is that the Mets are going with Chris Bassett in Game 2.
01:31You don't want that because, well, I mean, you want that if Bassett can win.
01:36But Chris Bassett has struggled a little bit lately, and if he goes out and loses,
01:40they're going to have to be forced to use Jacob deGrom for Game 3.
01:44See, if Scherzer loses today, they say they might actually go with deGrom in Game 2.
01:50See, they're trying to save deGrom for the next series.
01:52You probably have to if you do lose today.
01:54I think they got, after getting swept by the Braves, I think a loss tonight would take a lot of wind out of those.
02:00Oh, they can't lose. They can't lose with Scherzer on the mound.
02:02If they do, holy cow, the Mets fans should be nervous.
02:06By the way, the Yankees have a first-round bye because they were the second seed, the second divisional winner.
02:13So the first and second divisional winners in both the National League and the American League both get byes,
02:19and the Yankees are one of those.
02:21Basketball, the Warriors, Draymond Green has apologized to the Warriors and to teammate and young shooting star Jordan Poole
02:29after Draymond punched Poole in the face at practice.
02:32He said he's sorry, and everyone at the Warriors said, Draymond, you're forgiven.
02:38That's a nice thing to be a team leader is when you can punch someone in the face and just be like,
02:44you know what, I'm sorry, my bad, I was a little ornery today, and the entire organization's like,
02:48yeah, it's okay, Draymond.
02:49Rough day in practice.
02:50When you win four championships and you're the enforcer for the Golden State Warriors,
02:54they're going to cut you some slack.
02:56Hockey, the first official games of the NHL season are tonight and tomorrow.
03:04The Nashville Predators and the San Jose Sharks play in Prague as part of the 2022 NHL Global Series.
03:14Probably all from Prague anyway.
03:15Pretty much.
03:16And then October 11th starts most of the games in North America,
03:20and the Rangers will be playing on October 11th.
03:23And then football this season, the 3-1 Giants take on the 3-1 Packers this Sunday in London.
03:32So don't forget, Giants fans, that means a 9.30 a.m. starting time on Sunday.
03:37Set your alarm clocks.
03:39If you're out and about on Saturday night at the various rock shows that we have got going on,
03:45October 8th, we got a big-time show.
03:47So if you're at...
03:47I love football and eggs.
03:49Yeah, if you're at that, be careful.
03:519.30 a.m. starting time for the Giants.
03:54No word yet, by the way, if Daniel Jones will be starting.
03:56He's coming off an ankle injury from last Sunday.
03:591 o'clock, the Jets, 2-2, go against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.
04:04That should be a good one.
04:06And you'd figure, you know what?
04:08The Jets do have a chance.
04:10Tua not playing in the game, obviously.
04:13Dealing with all those health issues.
04:17So go out there and win that game, Jets.
04:18And then finally at 4.30, the Eagles play the Cardinals in Arizona.
04:23That's your quick look at sports.
04:24The Jets do have a chance.
