00:00All right, Dave, quick sports, what do we got?
00:02Well, we're going to start with baseball, where the Phillies fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks
00:07in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series yesterday, 4-2.
00:11Oh, wow.
00:12Amazing. Arizona had been down three games to two with the last two games in Philadelphia.
00:19Sold-out crowd, electric Philly audience, but they just couldn't will their team to the win.
00:25Somehow the D-backs found a way to win that series,
00:27and now Arizona will match up against the Texas Rangers in the series.
00:32I wonder if there's a new curse going on for Philly.
00:34They didn't let that guy bring in his emotional support alligator,
00:38just like the goat up there in Boston, right?
00:42Philly's the team of near success recently.
00:45They lost the Super Bowl last year.
00:47They lost the World Series last year.
00:48They looked like they were going to get back to the World Series this year,
00:51but now they lose in the pennant, so kind of mixed bag there.
00:56You know, they're having great success on one hand,
00:58and the Sixers were expected to do well last year, and they fell short,
01:02so kind of crazy.
01:03Well, the DOT saved on budgeting for Crisco for the light bulb.
01:08Now for the World Series that, let's see,
01:11probably a good 48 states of America won't really care about,
01:15but the Texas Rangers will be facing the Arizona Diamondbacks
01:19beginning Friday night in the World Series Game 1.
01:22What do you say, kid?
01:22You going to watch that?
01:23No, no.
01:24I think it's going to do well in the southwest corner of America
01:28and not very well anywhere else.
01:31Agreed.
01:31I would absolutely agree.
01:33Baseball's panicking right now.
01:34That ain't good.
01:35You got to get Taylor Swift to start dating one of those players,
01:38otherwise no one's going to pay attention.
01:40That's right.
01:41Now with the Yankees sucking, not making the playoffs,
01:44the Giants sucking,
01:45really I'm putting a lot of hopes into the New York Knicks,
01:48and basketball is back tonight.
01:50The NBA returns to our area this evening as the Knicks take on the Celtics
01:55in Madison Square Garden for the first game of the year.
01:58Very excited for this.
02:00Boston is a team that has been projected one of the top three or four teams
02:05that realistically could win the NBA Finals.
02:07They were already good last year, and they've actually upgraded.
02:10But still, the Knicks, Jalen Brunson, excitement in the air.
02:14What the hell?
02:15Why not?
02:16And there is a rumor that the Knicks might be looking to trade for Joel Embiid,
02:20the awesome MVP center for the Sixers.
02:24So a lot of the players you see tonight might not be on the Knicks in a couple of weeks.
02:27Right.
02:28Everyone but Jalen Brunson will be off the team.
02:31Either way, I still can't afford a Knicks ticket.
02:34So what are you going to do?
02:36Meanwhile, the Nets, they play.
02:38They go against the Cavaliers in Brooklyn.
02:40So if you're going to the Barkley Center this evening or the Garden this evening,
02:44enjoy that.
02:45The Sixers tip their regular season off tomorrow night
02:48when they play the Bucs in Milwaukee.
02:51Hockey, the Devils beat the Canadiens last night 5-2.
02:55Tyler Toffoli had a hat trick.
02:57Oh, nice.
02:57Three goals for the Devils in the victory.
03:00The Rangers defeated the Flames 3-1.
03:03Igor Shesterkin had 24 saves in the win.
03:06The Flyers fell to the Golden Knights 3-2.
03:10Football Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he's, for the first time,
03:14expressing some frustration with his rehab.
03:18Says he's making smaller gains than he did earlier in his recovery,
03:22but still is hoping to come back this season.
03:25There it is.
03:26Aaron Rodgers.
03:27You know what?
03:27I say just hang on to him for next season.
03:30Let him rehab.
03:30Yeah, let him relax.
03:32Get him healthy.
03:33You know.
03:34And I'm surprised I'm saying that because I was ready to put the parking
03:39attendant in a quarterback instead of Zach Wilson.
03:41And I've completely done a 180.
03:44It's tough.
03:46It's tough.
03:46It's going to be a good game to say.
03:48This weekend's going to be fun against your Giants.
03:50Yep.
03:50Jets, Giants.
03:51I already put my picks in.
03:53Get them in on the football challenge page at WRIT.com.
03:56You know, I'm down on the Giants, but they did win last week.
04:00So, I'm going with Big Blue because I can't go against, you know,
04:03I'm going to go against the Giants over the Jets.
04:06You kind of have to, right?
04:07Yeah.
04:07Especially since the defense kind of looked like it had some life the last couple of games.
04:10The defense has played well, you know, Buffalo.
04:14Yep.
04:14And they played really well against the Bills.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Commanders, aren't they?
04:19But the Jets did beat the Eagles.
04:21Come on.
04:21Jets did beat the Eagles.
04:23You're absolutely correct about that.
04:24It's going to be fun.
04:25So, who knows what's going to happen here.
04:26You going Jets, Gots?
04:27I think I'm going to go Jets.
04:29I'm already.
