00:00Right now we're doing quick sports from Eastside. Dave, Dave, what's happening, man?
00:03Okay, let's start with baseball, where the Yankees lost to the Orioles last night, 9-6,
00:10even though the Yankees got two home runs from Glaber Torres,
00:14who continues to be red hot for the Bronx Palmers.
00:18Nevertheless, Yankee pitching allowed the Orioles to get eight runs in the seventh inning.
00:24And that was an explosion that they could not get around.
00:28That was pretty much the end of the game there.
00:31Yankees fall to 30-21, still nine games over .500.
00:36The Mets were defeated by the Cubs 4-2 as the Mets dropped to .500 itself at .25-25 for the season.
00:47The Phillies beat the Diamondbacks in extra innings 6-5.
00:50Trey Turner hit a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth for the Phillies,
00:55and then Alec Boehm singled home the winning run in the 10th as the Phillies improve to .23-26.
01:02NHL playoffs.
01:04The Florida Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes last night in Game 4 of the East Final, 4-3,
01:11as the Panthers now sweep the Canes.
01:13How about that?
01:14And they make the Stanley Cup Finals.
01:16So, Florida Panthers in it.
01:19And then tonight, you got Game 4 of the West Final between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars.
01:26As the Golden Knights lead that series three games to none.
01:30Could be looking at a sweep in the West.
01:32Unbelievable.
01:33Sweeps to get into the Stanley Cup Finals.
01:36Potentially.
01:36I don't know that that's ever happened.
01:38I'll have to look into that.
01:39And it was close to just almost happening in basketball.
01:42The Lakers got swept, and then the Celtics were about to get swept.
01:47But then they actually won Game 4 in Miami and showed a little heart, which actually surprised everyone.
01:54Well, tonight is Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA postseason
02:00between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
02:03As we just said, the Heat lead that series three games to one.
02:06But the Celtics are coming off a win in Game 4, in which they were supposed to lay down.
02:12Tonight's matchup is in Boston.
02:14And I hate saying this.
02:16Do you want a disturbing thought?
02:18Well, when it comes to sports and comebacks,
02:22you have the first team and yet the only team to ever come back 0-3 is the Boston Red Sox.
02:28No, no, no.
02:29I don't want to think of that.
02:30It's too early.
02:31The biggest comeback in Super Bowl history is the bleeping Patriots.
02:35I don't know.
02:36Just stop it.
02:37Boston sports is actually synonymous with comebacks.
02:41Could we be looking at the Celtics being – by the way, do you know what the record is?
02:47For 150 times a team has trailed 0-3 in the NBA.
02:51Mm-hmm.
02:52They're 0-150.
02:54Mm-hmm.
02:55So it's never been done.
02:56So you're suggesting that Boston could do it based on the fact that –
03:00Two of the next three games are in Boston.
03:02That Tom Brady and those bastards came back from a 28-3 deficit.
03:07And those sons of bitches Boston Red Sox came back to beat our Yankees.
03:11That was the worst.
03:12Have to be a down –
03:13Yeah, 2004 was – I'm still shell-shocked because obviously I'm not an Atlanta Falcons fan.
03:19Getting Anjita over here today if it's too early for Anjita.
03:21It was bad.
03:22But I'm just saying.
03:25Here's one thing I'll say why.
03:27Yeah.
03:28Because sports gambling is legal in the great state of New Jersey.
03:32Oh.
03:33You could probably go and just look at Monmouth Park Sportsbook and see what the Celtics are
03:39at actually winning the Eastern Conference.
03:42And I'm just giving you a heads up.
03:44And then finally football.
03:45Here's the thing.
03:45We just brought up the Patriots.
03:48Known for that huge comeback against the Falcons in the Super Bowl down 27-3.
03:53But they're also known for cheating.
03:54Yes, they are.
03:55And now they're losing two days of organized team activities due to a violation of off-season
04:02rules.
04:03Not immediately known yet what the specific violation was.
04:07But once again, Patriots busted for cheating.
04:11And so they lose two days of practice.
04:13Bill Belichick, USOP.
04:15Add it again.
