HOUR 5: Red Sox/Yankees Game 2 Predictions | The Yankees Are More Versatile Than You Think

Craig Carton (0:00)

We got the signature LaBelle steak sandwich here at Yankee Stadium. What kind of cut is it?

Chris McMonigle (0:07)

New York Strip.

Craig Carton (0:09)

USDA Prime, as it should be, by the way. Not every ballpark sells Prime. But here at Yankee Stadium, we get LaBelle's best. And he told me I could come see his cows one day. So I'm looking forward to that.

Chris McMonigle (0:22)

Cows might need early demise.

Craig Carton (0:24)

But I appreciate you guys very much. LaBelle's one of the best in the New York institution for over a hundred years. They're very gracious to us as well.

I want to tell you, for you kids out there that want to be sports broadcasters, that are like, I want to be like Colin Coward.

SPEAKER_4 (0:38)

Well, I would say this.

Craig Carton (0:40)

If you want to emulate Colin, he's a very successful, feel free. It might be good to know sports.

Chris McMonigle (0:48)

Does he even like sports?

Craig Carton (0:50)

Here's Colin Coward with Jason McIntyre.

SPEAKER_5 (0:52)

A little Dodger baseball tonight.

Craig Carton (0:54)

I'm excited for that, J.

SPEAKER_5 (0:56)

Yeah, I'm excited.

SPEAKER_4 (0:57)

I'm very pumped up.

Craig Carton (0:58)

Dodgers should do, whoa, wait a minute. What did you say?

SPEAKER_5 (1:01)

Dodgers tonight?

Chris McMonigle (1:03)

Tough man. We got Dodgers tonight.

Craig Carton (1:05)

We have a little Dodger baseball. We don't have Dodgers tonight.

Chris McMonigle (1:08)

I was gonna say, what was this?

SPEAKER_4 (1:09)

Because they gotta buy, you dumbass.

Craig Carton (1:14)

Yeah, that's a weird one.

Chris McMonigle (1:15)

We got Dodgers baseball tonight.

Craig Carton (1:17)

That is a tough one right there. You see, the Dodgers aren't playing tonight.

Chris McMonigle (1:22)

They're not.

Craig Carton (1:23)

Yeah, so there you go.

Chris McMonigle (1:25)

And was that from today? That was today.

Craig Carton (1:27)

Or was that from yesterday? And then I got something from Coach Harbaugh for you as well.

Chris McMonigle (1:30)

Because yesterday, all the Wild Card Series played yesterday.

Craig Carton (1:33)

They were reacting to Yankees last night, and the question was, are the Yankees the most exciting team in baseball?

Chris McMonigle (1:39)

Oh, okay. But still, my point is that they would have had a score and result from the Dodgers if there was a Dodger game tonight.

Craig Carton (1:47)

You would think.

Chris McMonigle (1:48)

Like, it's not even like the first game of the series, and he forgot that the series matchups, like, all of the teams played last night. If the Dodgers weren't one of them, they're not playing tonight.

Craig Carton (1:56)

To end the crickets for you, Jim Harbaugh at a press conference today acknowledged that John Harbaugh reached out to him to discuss JJ McCarthy prior to the Giants making the trade. We expected that, but he confirmed it.

Chris McMonigle (2:10)

John Harbaugh told the world it was the greatest throw day he's ever seen. He's the best quarterback prospect. Like, we know how John, excuse me, Jim Harbaugh thinks about JJ McCarthy.

Craig Carton (2:21)

And then in a separate press conference, because that was the Jim Harbaugh press conference in LA, John Harbaugh was asked, I think it's a fair lot of questioning, about Odell Beckham Jr. Yes. Like, you guys made a big deal about his celebrated return. He makes the roster on that last roster cut day, which I guess was up in doubt. He had a total of 11 snaps as a giant this time around, and they threw the ball his way a single time in three games. Then he gets cut after the win against the Titans on Sunday.

So he bristled today at the media, and he said, I'm not hiding anything. It's not Watergate. We're trying to be the best team we can be this week.

So he's hiding something, honestly.

Chris McMonigle (3:10)

I don't think he's hiding anything.

Craig Carton (3:11)

He does not like when the media questions him.

Chris McMonigle (3:13)

No, he does not.

Craig Carton (3:14)

That is very, very clear.

Chris McMonigle (3:15)

You know what?

Craig Carton (3:16)

He gets his hair up very, very quickly.

Chris McMonigle (3:17)

That plays if you win.

SPEAKER_6 (3:19)

It plays if you win.

Craig Carton (3:20)

Who cares? But you got to win.

Chris McMonigle (3:21)

But you got to win. And you see the new shirt and mantra they've adopted there.

Craig Carton (3:25)

Yes, 1 and 0, which is for high school kids.

Chris McMonigle (3:27)

Which means?

Craig Carton (3:27)

Like we're a professional football team. We need mantras.

We need mantras now, 1 and
