Hour 3: C-Mac Slams Soccer Stoppage Time and Explores Yankees Trade Options

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
All right.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
I'm still waiting for Pete to play a song I can sing along to. There's been a lot of speak singing in the first couple of rejoins of the day.
Little Allison Chains to get us going at 4 o'clock, 888-808-1019. It's The Carton Show. McMonigle riding solo until 6 o'clock tonight, Yankee pregame. A huge series in Tampa. We spent a lot of the focus on that a little bit on the game tonight. USA versus Belgium. The president stepped in, made a phone call, got it taken care of.
Balagin is playing tonight. Balagin, Balagin. Playing tonight, back at it. USA looking to move on in the World Cup, playing some of the best soccer they have played in a generation, quite honestly. So what everyone tells me, USA. I'll never forget, that was the greatest thing ever, that guy that night at the bar. I went to the first game, their first game against, I can't remember, but they dominated, they're 3-0 in the first half. Paraguay, I think it was Paraguay. Had a guy at the bar just going, USA.
Never heard that before. But we are excited, big game against Tampa Bay tonight for the New York Yankees, big series. Huge game for Kam Schlitler as well. We'll get to some other things, we welcome in SNY. They'll take us till the end of the show at 6 I think at some point we'll have Ricky and maybe Emanuel come in, we'll preview the game with their thoughts on it. Heading in to tonight's game against the Rays.
And we're taking your phone calls, 888-808-1019. Let's go to Carl in Bay Ridge. What's up Carl?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:42)
Hey CMAC, how are you doing there today?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:44)
What's up?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:45)
I couldn't agree with you more about the clock in soccer.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:49)
And there's no reason in the world where they can't stop the lessons in football.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:53)
I just don't get it either.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:54)
There is one major reason.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:56)
There's one major reason. It's corrupt. It's definitely corrupt.
They say 10 minutes extra time, then they go, make it 12, make it 13 and a half. They make it until they feel like it's about time, maybe to give their teams a chance to win.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:12)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:12)
It's definitely this way. They wouldn't be able to make it corrupt if there was a clock like the NFL.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:19)
Yeah. I mean, I just don't understand. I don't understand it. I don't think I ever will.
I don't like uncertainty with how long the game is going to be. I know you could say, baseball is, no, you got to get 27 outs. You have to get them.
There's extra innings. There's extra innings. Same thing with football. There's a clock, certain amount of minutes. It's over at the end like that final whistle blows. It's the final whistle. It's not, here's the final whistle and then here's 10 more minutes. Like I just, I'll never understand it. I don't see how it would take away from being a free flowing game. I know like a guy goes down, they pick the ball up and throw it right into play. Just literally start and stop the clock. If it's 10 seconds, stop and start it for 10 seconds. Like I'll never understand it. Now I don't want to make this whole thing about that and my issues with soccer. I could just tell you that's one thing. I don't like uncertainty in my, I don't like the uncertain nature of how long the game is going to be played. I don't like watching the game with 10 seconds left waiting for that final whistle so I can declare my team victorious and going well how much longer is this like? I would feel like they're like this last call I said I'd feel like they're letting them play until the game is tied or someone wins.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:29)
Well yesterday in that Mexico England game like they gave Mexico like seven different opportunities in the final minute of the game I'm like, the goal is to be it, this should be it, this should be it. It's like okay, right it should be, why is it still going?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:44)
Why is it not? Dave in the Bronx, what's up Dave?

**SPEAKER_6** (3:48)
Yeah it's more about the flow of the game. You know they don't want it to be a stop and go, you know it's not an American sport.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:54)
Yeah but again I'm not suggesting I'm not suggesting doing anything, but I'm not suggesting stopping the game.
