Will Aaron Boone Survive if the Yankees Fall Tonight?

Craig Carton (0:00)

I want to thank the guys at Bazzini's. Bazzini's a pimp!

For bringing me a bag of fresh roasted peanuts. They are in the building. They come right from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Chris McMonigle (0:10)

And we're living here in Allentown.

Craig Carton (0:12)

I was told an emergency order went in.

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

They opened up the peanut factory.

Craig Carton (0:15)

And the Bazzini company stepped up to the plate, pardon the pun, nicely today, and made sure that there will be peanuts in the shell for as many people as possible. But get them while you can, because they might run out. So I want to thank Yankees, Susan for reporting it, and the Bazzinis for making sure that peanuts are accessible. You cannot have any.

Chris McMonigle (0:37)

Pulling peanuts from a shell.

Craig Carton (0:39)

How many more songs are you going to sing?

Chris McMonigle (0:41)

What's that, three?

Craig Carton (0:41)

And it's Muscles, not Peanuts. Learn the words, would you please? I'm well aware, okay?

Chris McMonigle (0:45)

Give me the band name.

Craig Carton (0:46)

Oh, wait, I got it, I got it. Come on. Pulling Muscles from a... Oh, come on, Craigy.

Chris McMonigle (0:51)

Another big hit was Black Coffee in Bed.

Craig Carton (0:52)

Yeah, I know, I know.

Chris McMonigle (0:53)

Another big hit was Tempted by the Fruit of Another.

Craig Carton (0:56)

Yes, damn it.

Chris McMonigle (0:57)

Come on.

Craig Carton (0:58)

Oh, see, I don't want to... Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

No, I got it. I got it, I got it.

Craig Carton (1:02)

That's a great, great question. I got to get to pulling that.

Pulling Muscles from the Show.

Who?

Chris McMonigle (1:11)

Squeeze. Damn it, I had that.

Craig Carton (1:14)

I would not be good at the wheel this next summer. Learned a valuable lesson there.

Chris McMonigle (1:18)

That's it, category, squeeze hits.

Craig Carton (1:20)

Here's Vicki in Rockport on the fam. Live from Yankee Stadium, The Carton Show with Big Mac. Vicki, good afternoon, doll, how are you?

Vicki (1:27)

I'm doing great, and I've been really laughing my butt off listening to you. It's just super. So, the reason I wanted to call, because I haven't heard anybody mention the problem of the Yankees leaving all these guys on base.

We come to the difference between Anthony Volpe and Jazz. Jazz has twice as many RBI's.

Chris McMonigle (1:52)

Yeah, well, he's played twice as much. But, yeah, so Jazz is the better offensive player. Even the people who would argue for Volpe to play today would not argue that point.

Craig Carton (2:01)

Jazz is the better offensive player.

Vicki (2:02)

He's trying to become the next Mariners. I mean, I lived in Portland. I got to listen to Rick Riz and Dave Simms so much out there. It was wonderful. And now I'm back in New York and I'm so happy to hear Dave here with all of you.

Craig Carton (2:15)

Vicki, the audience wants to know what are you wearing right now?

Vicki (2:19)

But, no, huh?

Craig Carton (2:20)

What are you wearing right now?

Vicki (2:22)

What am I wearing?

Craig Carton (2:23)

Yeah, the audience just texted me. They want to know.

Vicki (2:26)

OK, well, I'm in sweatpants and fleece top because it's cold.

Craig Carton (2:31)

Have you have you made all the beds yet and done the laundry and the dishes or no?

Vicki (2:35)

Is that my job?

Craig Carton (2:36)

No, I'm just asking if you've gotten it done yet or not.

SPEAKER_3 (2:40)

No, it's anyway, I'm good.

Vicki (2:44)

Yeah, it's nice out. Now, I'm helping my husband and we're having a good time here. And I'm 74 and I've been listening to baseball for 40 years. And I absolutely love this.

Craig Carton (2:53)

Who's your favorite player of all time?

Vicki (2:55)

Yankees are going to be fine tonight.

I think they're going to be great. I don't care who's playing just as long as they hit people. And don't keep them on the base and don't strand them.

Craig Carton (3:05)

Vicki, I love your fan.

Chris McMonigle (3:06)

Runners in scoring position, absolutely important. What they did against the Red Sox. Runners in scoring position, hit with two strikes.

SPEAKER_3 (3:11)

That's what they need to do. Vicki, what's your prediction?

Craig Carton (3:14)

What's the final score at tonight's game?

Vicki (3:18)

Well, good question.

Craig Carton (3:19)

Thank you.

Vicki (3:20)

All right, thank you. Bye.

Craig Carton (3:21)

You're not going to answer it?

Vicki (3:24)

What's the final score tonight?

Chris McMonigle (3:25)

Yeah, what's our prediction for the score tonight?
