00:00Sports from Eastside, Dave, dude, what do we got?
00:02Okay, not a lot of action last night, but baseball, the Phillies did take down the Diamondbacks
00:075-4, and now they are actually over 500, 35-34, and the Phillies have won 8 of their last
00:1310 games, so they're coming on strong.
00:15Let's not forget, they made the World Series last year, so they want to rebound.
00:21They all of a sudden are playing good baseball.
00:23Didn't they have like a terrible first half?
00:25Yes.
00:25And then they turned it on towards the end, right?
00:27Yeah.
00:28Yep.
00:28And maybe this season will roll out just like last season, because now all of a sudden
00:33they are playing really good ball.
00:35Now the Mets and Yankees were off.
00:38The Yankees take on the Red Sox in Yankee Stadium this weekend.
00:41Wow, you go from the Mets to the Red Sox.
00:44That's going to be awesome.
00:44The Yanks are 39-30, nine games over 500, looking pretty good.
00:49Mets go against the Cardinals at Citi Field.
00:51Mets four games under 500 at 32-36, looking to improve.
00:55Basketball, the Denver Nuggets had their championship parade in downtown Denver yesterday.
01:00First championship for the Nuggets in the 47-year history of the franchise.
01:06Congrats to them.
01:06Meanwhile, the Las Vegas is preparing for the Golden Knights Stanley Cup parade.
01:12Where do they do that?
01:13Do they go down the strip with that?
01:14They said they're going to start the parade on Las Vegas Boulevard and will end at Toshiba
01:18Plaza.
01:19So if you're familiar with that, if you're familiar with those areas, then there you go.
01:26Sushi for everybody.
01:28That's it.
01:29They're going to Japan?
01:30They ended up in Tokyo?
01:31I don't know.
01:32If you don't know, then I don't know.
01:34I seem to take a trip to Vegas and figure this one out.
01:37I mean, obviously, Toshiba Plaza is obviously an area in Las Vegas.
01:42I have no idea.
01:43It's probably just like their Times Square or something that they've renamed because it
01:47was bought by Toshiba is what I'm thinking.
01:49Yeah, it looks like it's right there in the middle of the strip.
01:53Yeah.
01:54So there it is.
01:55That's why.
01:55Right here the MGM, Excalibur.
01:57Right.
01:58Yeah.
01:59All right.
01:59You know, these like corporations.
02:01Oh, it's right where they play.
02:02It's right where they play.
02:03T-Mobile is where they play, right?
02:05Yeah.
02:05Yeah.
02:05I mean, these corporations like a Toshiba, you know, that kind of thing.
02:09This happens all the time.
02:10They buy either like a stadium, an arena, or even a plaza.
02:14It's kind of crazy.
02:15It's right next to Sony.
02:17The Sony Plaza.
02:19Whatever.
02:20Yeah, whatever.
02:21I do wish I was there, though, to be in Las Vegas for a sports championship parade and
02:28party.
02:28I'd much rather have it up in the parking lot at the Meadowlands for my New Jersey Devils.
02:32Well, is there a bad spot in Las Vegas?
02:35Is there a bad spot?
02:37Yeah, there's plenty, pal.
02:38Get off the strip.
02:39Or you go to Old Vegas, if you kind of go to what they call Old Vegas.
02:44Fremont Street is fun, but, you know, a couple of blocks off that, you got trouble.
02:48Yeah.
02:49And then finally, former New York Giants wide receiver Homer Jones has died at the age of
02:5582.
02:56He's sort of notable because he's the first player to ever spike a football.
03:01Oh.
03:01How about that?
03:02He's the inventor of the spike.
03:04He also, though, the NFL's all-time leader with a career average of 22.3 yards per catch.
03:12Wow.
03:13So, he does have that record.
03:14But I also...
03:15A reason to spike the ball, for sure.
03:16Yeah.
03:16I also think it's just really cool that the inventor of the spike was a giant.
03:19Yeah, that's neat.
03:20So, Godspeed to Homer Jones, died at the age of 82.
03:24That's your quick look at sports.
