00:00Last night, game number one, Yankees getting involved, five to two.

00:08They take it.

00:09A tremendous performance from Carlos Rodon.

00:12They got an early home run from Juan Soto.

00:15Guardians then threw, what was it, four or five wild pitches that allowed the Yankees

00:19to run around the bases and get some more runs.

00:22And then you had the put-away shot late from Giancarlo Stanton on WFAN in New York.

00:29Now the 0-1 is headed in the air to left center.

00:30It is high.

00:31It is far.

00:32It is gone.

00:33A Stantonian home run.

00:34Giancarlo.

00:35Santon, who is a terrific postseason player, bangs out another one, and the Yankees have

00:56a 5-1 lead.

00:57Well, there you have it.

00:58The old man calling another Giancarlo home run.

01:03Look, this guy Stanton is, I mean, he's postseason money.

01:08I mean, he's already passed Reggie Jackson.

01:11He sailed past him in the Royals series.

01:13And now he's just like, he's putting up numbers that are, you know, ungodly.

01:20Like it's just crazy what this guy is doing.

01:22I pray to God that he makes it from now through the World Series, if they get to the World

01:30Series, which they have to.

01:31They have to beat this team.

01:33Now, yesterday, Scoop Mitch told me that the Guardians are going to win the series.

01:36They're the better team.

01:38And I just know that I come from the other side of the river, which says they have to

01:42beat this team.

01:43You cannot not go to the World Series because you lost the Cleveland Guardians.

01:48Honestly, I don't care what anybody says.

01:51So that guy, if he can stay healthy, because his legs are like peanut brittle.

01:57I mean, a guy walks down the street.

02:01He's going to get injured going to the bathroom at night from the bed to the toilet.

02:05That's how bad his legs are.

02:07So I worry about him being able to play every game over what could amount to 13 more games

02:14if they both went seven.

02:16So let's just face facts.

02:18He is their best player in the postseason, hands down.

02:21It is amazing to me what Stanton has done and what Judge has done nothing.

02:25Aaron Judge, he had a sat fly or something.

02:28Christ, I almost fell over.

02:31He has been utterly embarrassing in the postseason, Judge.

02:35Every time he comes to the plate, it's an automatic out.
