Big Mac, whatever the Yankees say is okay with me.
Well, the Yankees decided so it's okay. It's okay with me. Let me ask you a question.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
He's pitching in the series.
**Craig Carton** (0:09)
Okay, let me ask you a question. I want to ask you a question along those lines.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:12)
Please ask the question.
**Craig Carton** (0:13)
Okay, your defense of this dopey move is, well, he's pitching in the series. Would you start your best pitcher in the World Series in game one or game three?
This is not the World Series. I'm sorry, no, no, no, no. World Series.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:28)
If he pitches in game seven of the ALCS, I wouldn't pitch him in game one.
**Craig Carton** (0:32)
If he had five days rest.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:33)
This is like eight days, nine days rest, seven days.
**Craig Carton** (0:35)
Would you pitch your best pitcher in game one?
**Chris McMonigle** (0:38)
This isn't the World Series.
**Craig Carton** (0:39)
I'm just asking a question.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
Yes.
**Craig Carton** (0:41)
Or would you wait till game three? Just answer that question.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:43)
I would obviously pitch him in game one.
**Craig Carton** (0:44)
Bang! So he should pitch tomorrow night.
**Chris McMonigle** (0:46)
That doesn't make any sense. It's all the sense in the world. That's a possible seven game series. You pitch him in game one because you might be able to throw him more. I can't pitch whoever I throw whenever I throw him more than once in a three game series.
**Craig Carton** (0:59)
And now you're making me do sports talk.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
If it was a seven game series and if I throw someone in game one, theoretically I have him for game four or five and then I might even have him coming out of the bullpen in game seven. That's a different situation. This is a three game set. I can only throw Cam Schlitler once, whether it's Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I get one shot with Cam. There's no difference when I throw.
**Craig Carton** (1:20)
Okay, let's take some calls. Random calls, no particular order.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:24)
Whenever you say no particular order, that means there is a very distinct and particular order.
**Craig Carton** (1:29)
Here's Robbie in Brooklyn on the fan. Robbie, what's your take on this, buddy?
**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
Robbie can't even roll down his window. He tells he no.
**SPEAKER_3** (1:36)
How you doing?
**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
How you doing?
**Craig Carton** (1:37)
Doing good, Robbie. What's up?
**SPEAKER_3** (1:40)
Oh, I agree with Greg because I was a bully. I think he said Greg. I was a bully.
And we always played our best player first because you want to put the pressure on the other team.
**Craig Carton** (1:53)
So here's what we're doing now. Now we're comparing Yankee baseball to a Billiards League.
**Chris McMonigle** (1:57)
Yes, you always, yeah. And God knows those two-time world champion Dodgers are really falling to the pressure of losing one game at Yankee Stadium.
**Craig Carton** (2:06)
Favorite pool player of all time?
**Chris McMonigle** (2:07)
How would they recover? Fats?
**Craig Carton** (2:09)
Domino?
**Chris McMonigle** (2:09)
Fats, no, it's not Fats.
**Craig Carton** (2:11)
Willie Moscone?
**Chris McMonigle** (2:12)
No, it's, what's his name? Something Fats.
**Craig Carton** (2:14)
He was the number one competitor to Willie Moscone.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
Was it Fats Domino?
**Craig Carton** (2:17)
What was his name? It was not Fats Domino.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
It was Fats, um.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:20)
Huh?
**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
Minnesota Fats.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:23)
There you go.
**Craig Carton** (2:24)
That's right, he was so fat, he pluralized it. Yeah. He wasn't just regular fat, he was like Pete fat.
He's not that fat. I know, your peaches, you're just big boned. I am, thank you. You're not fat, but you got some ass on you, boy.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:36)
No, I don't have any ass on me.
**Craig Carton** (2:38)
You have such an ass on you. My wife tells me I have zero ass. You got, you're double on everything else. You got.
I love it though. That's this guy. That's why I'm looking for a producer. I wanted a thick ass producer.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:49)
I appreciate that.
**Craig Carton** (2:49)
You're welcome. That's what I hired.
**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
Which is why you got Anthony to do the job for you.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:54)
That's also true.
**Craig Carton** (2:56)
All right, here's Anthony in Westchester on the fan. Anthony, what's good, handsome?
**SPEAKER_3** (3:02)
What's going on, guys?
**Craig Carton** (3:04)
What's up?
**Chris McMonigle** (3:04)
Craig, you are 100% correct. Of course he is.
