Welcome in to the Cap and G hood morning show. On ESPN 1000, and we are streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. With David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you, we've got Shay, we've got Jay Moore, we got you. For a three hour ride, you're on this Tuesday morning with open phone lines for you at 312-332-ESPN. 332-3776 is our telephone number, cap so much to get to within the framework of our show. But first, there are a lot of people on social media from yesterday's show that wanna know how everything's going with you. I mean, you had a great trip to Toronto, you know, for a nice golf outing, but previously on Cap and G hood. - We got a chance to find out that you had some issues trying to get your luggage back from O Canada. What's the latest on that? Here's David Kaplan. - Wow, I got one bag yesterday that was my clubs, but all my clothes, all the gear that I got in the event, it's all in this bag, not there. So the driver showed up on the porch. I said, "Hey, buddy, where's the second bag?" Hey man, I'm just the delivery service. This is all the gaming. Okay, thanks. I've been on the phone probably five times in the last 18 hours with Air Canada. Spirit Airlines is gonna be named Airline of the Year if they're competition, is Air Canada? ♪ We did land, yeah ♪ And every time I call, they're like, "Yeah, that bag is already on its way, it's in Chicago." No, I have an air tag in the bag. I put Apple air tags in all my bags. I have it on my phone. You can see my little wallet on the back is an air tag. I know where my stuff is. No, ma'am, it is in Terminal 1 in Ontario, Canada. - Canada. - Yeah, you said it just like that too. - And I calmly tried to explain to them. - Commonly, you did what? - I calmly tried to explain to them. - You were not calm at all. - The last call that you guys unfortunately had to hear I was angry. - Unfortunately, it's not like you went into a different room. Everybody heard it. - We bore witness to your rage. Channel 7 heard it. - Yeah, how many times I have called, I told you at least five times in the last 18 hours. - NBC Tower heard it. - Oh yeah, it's getting ready to be loaded. - Okay. - Okay, great. - And about two hours later, I should have landed by now. - Calamundo heard it. - It's still there in Terminal 1 in Toronto. - It wasn't calm. Folks, I just want you to know that Mount Kaplan, he blew a gasket. Mount Kaplan, there he was, folks. There he was. He was full throttle this morning. - Between my bag being lost, I have a gift in there for my wife that I'd like to give her our anniversary Thursday. And I got a few things for her. It's been 20 years since she's been married to me. - Yeah, discounted lingerie from Canada. Go ahead. - Wow. - He got the duty for me. (laughing) - And I need my bag. - Yes, you need it badly. - And nope. And they keep telling me, oh yeah, it's on its way. - No, it's not on its way 'cause I have an air tag in it. I can see where it's sitting. - It's at Timmy Hose. - Could I be? - It's right outside Tim Hortons, we're the secure baggage areas. Can I put you on hold for three to four minutes? Like 12 minutes later, they come back. Yes, that bag is queued for departure. Great, thanks. Six hours later, I look. That's a hell of a queue you got going there in Air Canada. And I keep calling and calling. So I call them my way into work today. Oh, that bag was already delivered, they tell me. - No. - That's a lie. - That's a lie. - Yes. - That bag is still sitting in Toronto. Now, I gave the ladies some advice and I told her, I don't know how long your airline's gonna last. They're so bad. I would look for another job if I were you. - I think you should. - I'm looking out for it. - Unfortunately, it wasn't that calm. You're doing it for radio, just to explain what you said. - They claim that my bag is now queued to depart Toronto at 7.50 PM tonight. - Okay, let's just go back. That's not how you handled it, unfortunately. - Where's my goddamn bag? Take that. - That's what we heard, unfortunately. And again, it's not even 7 a.m. You screeching into the phone like it's her fault. - And I-- - She might be in front. Hold on, she might be in Sri Lanka and you're yelling at her about your bag in Toronto. You don't know, she was sheepish. She was afraid to talk to you. - I said to her, I am not blaming you. It's your blankety blank airline. - Yes. - And she said, she said, I know. - I apologize. - I apologize for Air Canada. - But you poked her, you poked your finger into her chest. That's the problem. You backed her into a corner. - I was on the phone, I didn't poke any finger. - But, metaphorically, you did. You bet you backed her down. That's exactly what you did. - May I put you on hold for another three to four minutes? - Yes. - Yeah, go ahead. - You know why? She needed a break from you. That's why she did that. - If I, for you, I get another job. Take that. - Take that. - Where's my goddamn bag? Where is it? - Take it. - Yelling into the mic. - You're turning a beat red, making everyone here uncomfortable. - Hmm. - That is not hyperbole either. I, like, Kaplan, I've been around you two and a half years now. I've never seen you that way. Not one, not two, but three gd's on the phone with this poor woman. You're throwing curse words around left and right. - I did not drop any curse words. - That's not even true. You just said bleep but he believed airline. - I said you're with the S word. - I said, can I give you some advice? You heard me? I'd look for another job because I don't think your blankety blank airline is going to be around that long. - No! - If they're the worst airline ever. - I was getting concern hoodie that he was going to call her something unsavory just out of the blind rage he was experiencing. - So bad. - It was something. It was something to behold. But I understand the frustration because you're like, I've been traveling all this way. I've traveled. I should be able to get my bags at the time that my travels ended. Okay. Things happen. But now today's Tuesday. - Right. I understand. - I checked that bag at 530 Saturday. - I understand. - 530 in the afternoon Saturday. Here we are. Now she's claiming your bag is cute flight at 7.50 p.m. And I said, wait a minute, 7.50 p.m. Let me put you on over three to four more minutes. Let me check. - Yes. - Third time. She comes back. - Got coffee? - Yes. That is correct. 7.50 p.m. Okay. - That's crazy. - I think your follow up was, I don't care if it's one in the GD morning. I'll be awake. - Yes. - I want my bag. - Cause I gotta be up to watch the Cubs blow, bullpen blow another game. - Boy your life right now, man. It's not good, Cap. But the way you backed her down, hmm, pretty tough. As if she's got something to do with it, her computer says that it's already in Chicago. Well, her computer is not, not right. Because the air tag, and actually the moral of the story is the air tag is such, is so clutch. Is it not? The air tag is so clutch to be able to have that. - It is. - Because that way you can monitor your own stuff. So if you, if you don't put that in your luggage, you never know where your luggage is going to be. - Did she say at one point is going to be in Orlando? - Correct. - I think she said that as well. - She said you are scheduled for your bag to be in Orlando this afternoon. - Orlando? - I said Orlando. - She misread the screen. Oh, here. - Correct. - R.D. - Correct. - That's what it's supposed to be. - That's what she remiss read. - That's what happened. - She thought, hey, you'll be, your bag will be down there with the magic. - But they were Lando magic. - And then last night, I tried this new drink that I had at the golf tournament. It's called the Transfusion. It is ginger ale, vodka, and either grape juice or cranberry juice, it's a splash. We call it a transfusion. It's my new favorite drink. So I made a nice transfusion last night. My wife's like, what is that? Hun. I just need to chill. I'm going to have a cocktail while I watch the Cubs game and the Sox game and game seven. Had them all going. Had the cocktail. I'm going to have a second one. Oh, Cubs are winning, four to nothing, steals roll it. And then here comes the bullpen. - So belligerent and drunk. - I wasn't drunk. I mean, I just had two drinks. - That would be all for you. So I'm sure they had to pour you into the bed last night because you can only take one. You got two. Oh, my God. Lambshade on the head. You're a slight fellow. Wow. Seth and Albany Park on Captain Jay Hood. Seth, good morning. - Good morning, guys. Cap. I got some bad news for you. - Yeah, brother. - So I work in the air cargo at O'Hare. - Oh, God. - And Air Canada is horrendously awful and they have a terrible reputation. And I would say you, it's very possible you could not see your bag for another week, maybe too. - Way. - Dead. Dead serious. They could have it queued up for up to a week before it moved. - Hey. - So it's going to sit at the Timmy Holes all that time. Okay. So I've got the air tag in it, Seth. I can see where the bag is and they're telling me. - That's honestly the best thing you could have done because you'll be able to call their bluff. Like I work in freight and we are constantly moving stuff as fast as humanly possible because it's, you know, important cargo that's got to get moved. And Air Canada is notoriously awful. Their computer system will say stuff is here in Chicago and it's in a truck in Detroit. So like I wish you the best of luck, Cap. I definitely, definitely the air tag was a solid play because you'll be able to call their bluff if they tell you it's in Chicago and it's not. So but like I said, I wish you the best of luck, man. It's really terrible. - Sorry to hear that. - Any chance that we could get Seth on a business trip to Toronto to maybe straight things out up there and we'll grab my bag on the way back. - I would love that. That'd be great. - Seth, you're the man. Have a great day. - You too, Cap. Have a good one. - Thank you. - Good luck. - And that good. - This is why they call it Scotia Bank Arena now. - Hey, hon. - Air Canada couldn't represent a major. - Have the anniversary, Mindy. You're one of your gifts is sitting outside the Tim Hortons in the secure baggage area. And Canada. - You're going to get an assortment of Timbits in your bag when you get it. - Thought they'd stand on guard for the, apparently not stand on guard for your luggage? - No. - God, keep our land. - Wow. - Oh my God. - Just awful. - I feel bad for you, but I would also feel bad as for the customer service agent that had to bear the brunt of Mount Kaplan. Oh God. - Look, I'm not that guy. I don't ever do that. - I was at my wits end. - Never? - We'll tell today. - Ah. Okay. I think that we can all relate to the issues that Cap has gone through here because the man just wants his bag back. He had a nice trip to Toronto and can't even get his full luggage back and taking your anger out on a customer service agent. Is that fair or foul? Have you gone through this before? Let's talk about this. One, two, three, three, two, ESPN, three, three, two, three, seven, seven, six, our phone. Have you heard the story? Have you been in that situation where you've said, you know what, I'm at my wits end. The customer service agent is going to have to take a beating. I can understand, Cap. I get it. Along with that rage, how about Cubs rage last night against San Francisco? We'll talk about that as well coming up next. Cap and Jay Hood weekday morning, seven to 10, eh? - I appreciate your show. I'm an over driver and for seven to ten every day, I've got you locked in. Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago. - It's a Cap and Jay Hood morning show on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. This is the morning show, right, Cap? I can't tell looking outside our window here. - Yeah. What is going on? - Fully expecting little green men to drop out of a spaceship. - Hopefully they'll deliver your luggage. - Wouldn't that be funny? The spaceship drops my bag. Here you go. - We're back to one nights again. I mean, it's completely dark here in downtown Chicago. We hope that you're going to have a great and safe Tuesday. Cap is going through it this morning, folks. I mean, first of all, he's on late night West Coast Cubs duty. So that means Mount Kaplan is going to come out because he's had very low sleep. I've been there with the White Sox. So now here's Cap. Very little is recap on YouTube was explosive. It's not safe for work, by the way. I would highly suggest you check it out and we'll play some of that, the clean version, as much as possible. But this guy here is just on 11 this morning. He just wants his bag and we're asking the question, you know, taking your anger out on a customer service, is that fair or foul? I mean, Cap, it wasn't the lady's fault. - I told her that. I said, I am not blaming you. I understand you are just unfortunately at the other end of the phone. But this has been call after call with the run around in the nonsense. - The worst GD airline in the world, you mentioned. - I did tell that. - Yeah, Air Canada. They won't be a party here anytime soon. - They haven't been, so I'm really not worried. - I think, well, I had a beat on them, but we'll just shut it down now. - Yep, they can call me upstairs. Would you like to do the live reads for Air Canada? - Oh, yeah. It's the best. David Flom, we run a flight, Air Canada, it is the best. You're trying to go like I went to Toronto. Let me tell you something. Air Canada, absolutely the best. They took care of me. My flight was on time. My luggage. Could have been better, but you know what, they're the best. Air Canada, take that. - You will put your stamp on anything. - You will. If they brought that one sheet or two, like, Cap, we think we have a line here on Air Canada. - Oh, yeah. No problem. - Just erase the tapes. - Wow, 3-1-2-3-3-2-E-S-P and as our telephone number, Nick and Bartlett, he is on cap in J-hood. Nick, good morning. - Good morning. Good morning. First time caller. Long-time listener. - Appreciate you. - Tune in. - Cap, I don't agree with you on a ton, but you are 100% correct. It is absolutely okay to rip into a customer service rep, specifically in transportation. - Yeah, and again, this is over this since Saturday, I probably had 15 calls with them. This was the first time that I lost it. I had enough. - Let me tell you, these airlines are too big to care, but when it comes to, and I work in transportation myself, you are a representative in every facet of this industry. You are a representative of your company. Whether you're trusting someone else to do a good job, unfortunately customer service is kind of like the hostage negotiator of their side of the business. A lot of people are not going to be happy when you're talking to customer service, but yes, it is absolutely okay to vet your frustrations. They are kind of the person that is responsible for dealing with that. - Nick, we appreciate the telephone call. - Nick, have a great day, man. - Listing on the ESPN Chicago App in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Here's Taylor on Cap and Jhood. Hey, Taylor, good morning. - Hey, good morning. It is absolutely fair. It's not even close. Those representatives have resources they can go to, they can go to managers. There's stuff they can do. All I ask, I've had frustrations just like you've had. All I ask is you make it right. Say, "If I don't make it right, I'm happy." Say you have resources to go to, managers, to say that they don't, it's a lie. We've called several different companies for issues that we've had. They've been able to make it right, so there's absolutely no fault in that. - Yeah, and Taylor. - Thanks, Taylor. Appreciate you. - You have no question. You're getting support here because people have gone through frustrations before. It doesn't necessarily mean automatically you've got to bring your inner a-hole out. But the point is, though, is that you've called numerous times to be able to get just a bag. Every time I call, I get a different answer. Oh, it's already out for delivery. Oh, great. - Yeah. - How come the AirTag says it's still in Canada? You have an AirTag. One of them said to me, "You have an AirTag in your bag? Why would you do that?" That's what one of them said to me. - Why wouldn't I? - I said because of people like, not him, his airline. Companies like your airline that don't care. I don't know who cares less. Air Canada or Cubs management. - It's a photo finish at this point, is it not? - It is. - It's a photo finish. - Like the White Sox are what they are. And then we knew going in, they're going to be bad. The Cubs thought they were going to contend. And they've done nothing to try to fix their horse bleep bullpen. So that's how they might end it. No bags and the Cubs melt down again. - Otherwise, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play Orlando, Florida, listening on the ESPN Chicago app, here's Austin on cap and childhood Austin. - What's up, Cap? What's up, buddy? How are you guys? - What's up, brother? What? - Good. I just, Cap, I got a question for you. I feel for you for this whole back situation, but I want to know more. If you could not have one thing tomorrow, are you taking your bag or a closer for the Cubs? - I'll take the closure. - Yeah. I think that's fast. - 100%. I'll take the closure. - But what about Mindy's gifts? - I'll replace them. Not that expensive. - Oh, that's good to know. Skipping on her gifts. That's good to know. - Why does that skim? - Good. - But I can replace the cool, like, jacket I got her on the golf course. She likes, he's like, no, to wear in the fall. I got her a cool one. I could call him by another one. - But? - A closer? - Yeah. I don't have to break. I broke something in my office last night. And it wasn't mine. It was my wife's. - I saw the picture. Is she aware of this? - No, not yet. - Okay. She is now. Let me tell you something. So if you missed it, this is why Cap stayed up so you didn't have to. The Giants beat the Cubs five to four. The Cubs lose again and water is wet. They are 37 and 42 on the season. Craig Council says everything's fine. - I mean, there's no question. We left runs on the bases, for sure, and that plays into it as well. You know, we could have had five, six, seven on the board by just moving the ball forward and didn't do it. And we got to do better at that. That was a game that we should have broken open, and you know, that costs us. That doesn't cost you every game, it certainly costs you the night. Yeah, I don't want to hear that. I want to hear some freaking fire like this is unacceptable, and I'm going to talk to Jed tonight before I go to bed because I don't know how much sleep I'm going to get because I'm that frustrated with what we're watching. So I will be on the phone with Jed and Carter and I have to call Tom. I am going to make calls. We have got to get this situation on F right now instead, well, we left runs on the board and we should have broken the game. Yeah, no blank. I don't hear anybody ever get frustrated. Nobody. Nobody gets frustrated. Justin Steele says the bullpen is just fine. Yeah, I mean, it's baseball. It's a long season. You're going to have ups and downs, not just as a unit, but different departments, you know, injuries, you know, there's a bunch of different things that each unit's going to battle over the course of the season. I feel like they're doing a hell of a job down there. Hell of a job, Cap. The bullpen's doing a hell of a job. He's just being a good teammate. Cap can't say he doesn't mean that. Can't say it like that. Doing a hell of a job. Cap. That's what he's just said. You know what? Can I just tell you something if no one else has told you, you know, I know that you and Sylvie and other co-fan friends of mine are pissed at Dansby Swanson just saying shrug in the shoulder. Say it's June. The whole ball club shrugs their shoulders and says it's just June. They feel like, and by the way, as a competitor, you should feel like at some point you're going to break out of this. But the point is, is that the personnel does not allow you to break out of it. The whole team, including Justin Steele, including Craig Council, it's June, they feel like they go break out of it. They don't see what we see. It's June. Yeah, it's just June. But the point is, if you keep playing like this, it'll be July. It's just August. It's just September. And you'll be out of the race. Correct. You're already nine back in the division. You're in dead last in the division. For 230 million? Yep. Is that what Mr. Rick had signed up for? No. But we don't spend enough money. They're cheap. My ass, they're cheap. They don't know what they're doing apparently because to come into the season with that bullpen was already a death now. And that one, the bullpen under achieves for basically three months. And you do nothing other than a DFA pickup of Tyson Miller, who's been fine. Let me ask you another question. Do you watch the game last night? It's not some of the game. I did not stay. Okay. Tyson Miller in the, in the eighth inning, he was good. What do you throw? Shay, what do you throw? Eight pitches? He do eight pitches. Yes. Okay. He threw eight pitches. Tyson Miller on his worst day is better than Colton Brewer. Why didn't you let him go back out there? If you're not going to use Neris because you lied to us last week, Craig, I don't anticipate changing closers. No. Really? You haven't used him in that role since you went to Colton Brewer. And as soon as I was on the couch, waiting patiently because you assigned me the late night West Coast Cubs duty because you do the White Sox. And I'm watching and I went, who the, who the heck is this? I'm expecting Neris. Colton Brewer, I'm wondering, and I said this to Shay earlier. I'm wondering if it's Craig saying, okay, I've had enough. You want to give me this bullpen? Go get him, Colton. Let's rewind 365 days ago. It's the same thing that you said about David Ross because, but the common denominator is Jed Hoyer. This is what you think of the bullpen. These are the arms you have to work with cap. If you're correct counsel, you're already handsomely paid. You're only utilizing the players that's on your roster. This is what he has. Would you tell me 365 days ago? Would you tell me about David Ross, he looks down and goes, who do you expect me to use? Dude, he said to a friend of mine, why don't you come down and manage for a day and you tell me who you're going to get. And what's different about this year versus last? Drew Smiley is at the end walking a small island to help the San Francisco Giants win. A Giants team that's not very good. I still believe the Cubs can win this series because I think the Cubs are better than the Giants, but boy, they don't play like it because now they're identical. They're both 37 and 42. Tyson Miller came in with one out in the eighth, Justin Steele pitched one out into the eighth, gave up two earned, walked one, struck out nine. Very good. Miller comes in two thirds of an inning, no hits, no runs, no walks, one strike out, inning over. Why'd you go to Colton Brewer? Why? And here's the sick thing. Colton Brewer in a four or two game gave up two hits, two runs, they're earned and got a hold. He got a, he got graded positively. Yeah. That's baseball because the tying run scored, I believe, when Smiley was in there on a sack fly. And how many blown saves this is for the 17 before we get to the all star break, it's 17. 17. Yeah. Second worst in baseball behind who the white Sox. Yep. Great. Great baseball. We got the summer here. Yeah. So Colton Brewer must be red hot. He must be really pitching well as of late to entrust him with the ninth. Oops. He's got an ERA of 491 the last seven days. 15 games, last seven games, last 15 games, 4.50. He's given up in the last seven games, more hits than innings pitched, more hits than innings pitched. Once again, the strength of the ball club is a starting pitching. But when you have no offense cap, it looks like that. And then of course, when you have no back in the bullpen, it's not, it's not about the closer. It's seventh, eighth and ninth. That's what you're missing on this ball club. You don't have leverage guys that you feel like, man, when he comes in the seventh, it's lights out boy that left against lefty matchup. When I bring this lefty in this power arm lefty. Oh my god. Lights out leverage guys right into the ninth. Oh, our closer piece of cake. No pro. You don't have any of it. None of it. Not one. But you got to go starting pitching, but then you got lousy offense. So so that there you have it, Colton Brewer. His first year didn't, he only pitched in 11 games, ERA of 559. Next year, ERA of 4.12 and 58 games. Next year, ERA of 561. The next year, he only appeared in one game in 21 in the big leagues, ERA of 36, 2023. He was with the Yankees, 4.32 in three games, three games. That's all he pitched in. Next Cubs pick him up. He's appeared in 12 games, got an ERA of 4.50. If you can't pitch for Bobby, San Diego, let you go, Boston, let you go. The Yankees let you go. But our rocket scientists decide, yep, that's who we're closing with tonight. That's just nonsense. And Kyle Hendricks on the ground for the Cubs tonight. And he's been pitching great. Mm hmm. Great. He faces undecided today, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, ESPN, 3, 3, 2, 3, 7, 7, 6 is our telephone number. Here's your chance event about the Cubs. Cubs lose last night to the San Francisco Giants. You hear what Cap saying, what do you think? On the Cap and J. Good morning show. Checkmate 1-6, land use of pressure on target. That's why I see him in my shirt. Shot or no shot with Cap and J. Good on ESPN 1000 and ESPN Chicago at. That's why I see him in my shirt.

Good morning boys on a Tuesday. How are we feeling? Good man. How are you? I can't tell if it's 8 a.m. or 8 p.m. Looking outside. We're having a great time here on the night show. This is something. Yeah, it's pitch dark here. Tracy dropped the ball today. Guess she just decided to take the day off because now look what we got here. Just complete darkness here in the city. I would say this, Shay, just to follow up to the last segment, it shows you the difference between hockey and the other sports. For the consmith to go to Conor McDavid, the losing, the losing team, the losing player. Imagine if this was in the NBA. Imagine if it's the best player in the playoffs, but yet he's not on the winning team. It's similar to like this, Andre Dawson won the MVP in '87. He was outstanding on a last place team, but still it was a losing team. Yes. It wasn't like '87's offense was down. I think people just enamored by a guy that says here, here's a blank check. Just fill it out, Cubs. Whatever it is. All right. 500,000. Is that good? All right. I just want to play in Chicago. But he was the MVP on the last place team in '87. Correct. But it's a disconnect. I think if you're not watching hockey to say, wait a minute, the guy on the losing team gets the just desserts because it's for the whole playoff and he was otherworldly throughout the playoff. He wasn't game six and seven. They did a great job on him. You know the point would be made is when it was clutch time, when you had to be able to lock it in, you couldn't even get a shot off. Do you deserve the cup? Do you deserve that trophy? The case can be made even though I would agree with you that he is the best player in the world in the national hockey league. Yeah. They did an amazing job on them. I'll give them all the credit in the world. But it also, by the way, she had to disconnect that the Florida Panthers, this the Panthers, right? That's got us a rat. That crazy. I hate them. I genuinely hate them. I think the NHL needs to start putting teams in places where people actually care about hockey. Instead, we could Seattle and Utah, they're going to put a team in Arizona again. They're going to put a team in Atlanta again because it worked so well the first time. Got two teams in Florida. Can we put team, imagine that there were so many Oilers fans in that building last night. If that game had been in Edmonton, you would not see a single Florida Panthers sweater. Not one. I think that's fair. I hate these non hockey towns that keep winning cups just it bothers me. It was a great environment last night on TV. I'm telling you that crowd was into it. Into it. Why settle in the game that he skates, we'll see a healthy scratch last night. He was there. Okay. I wouldn't know he played in the whole series. Just ask you. All right. Let's get started. Shot or no shot. The White Sox lost again yesterday. Three nothing to the Dodgers. I don't want to talk about the team at all because Garrett Crochet was excellent again. Went five and two thirds, six strikeouts, no runs allowed, five and two thirds scoreless innings. He also moved up to fourth in American League, Cy Young odds, he's been rocketing up this odds board. Now he's got the fourth best odds to win the A. L. Cy Young on the topic of, can you win individual awards on a team that bad shot or no shot, Garrett Crochet can win the Cy Young even on a historically bad team. He would have to be so off the charts the rest of the way. He's going to soar by his career high innings. I don't think it can last. No, I say no shot. He can win it. It's a no shot. The rest of the league in pitching would have to be down for that. He's got three oh five. All right. He is very, very solid. It's very surprising by the way, too. He didn't think you're going to get the ball day one crochets like you give me the ball. I've never started before. Yeah. We got another choice. You got to start. Okay. And he's been great. He's been great. I just don't think at the end of the year that you can't. You can. I mean, how many innings is he going to end up throwing? You can't push this guy that hard. He's never done it. What's the point on this team? And I hope they don't trade him. That's the other reason, Shay, that he can't get it done. He'll be on a national league team by the time we get to July. That's possible. It sounds less and less likely the more we go on with this whole White Sox tear down deal. He's so good. I think you'd have to get a lot back like an enormous hall ring the bell. But if he stays in Chicago, and he can like Felix Hernandez, one side young, I believe on a last place Mariners team. But he was so dominant, so dominant crochets, losing pitcher record, too, like the pitch and wins and losses doesn't matter anymore. It's all about all the other things, your ERA, your advanced stuff, got nothing to do with your wins and losses. Felix Hernandez proved that. So if crochet keeps this up, now your point, Cap, about the innings. Who knows? Cap, I don't mean to calm you, but could you just remember? What was that situation where someone said one, the American League hitting championship and was traded to a nationally team by the deadline? Do you recall this? Like Willie McGee, let me look, let me look. You know what I'm talking about, right? There was like an award for a player, but he was traded and still won the batting title or something like that or something. I feel like it's rattling around in my brain, something like that, where someone won a big award even though they were traded to a different team or different league. It was Willie McGee was traded to Oakland. Yeah. It's happened three times, actually, Harvey Keene of the Indians for slugger Rocky Calavito, who had won the American League home run crown. Harvey Keene, the batting champion for the home run champion, but the Willie McGee one, St. Louis Alfielder Willie McGee was traded to Oakland, but still won the nationally batting title that same season since he had enough played appearances, 1990. How about that, Shay? Over last year when Otani was still at the Angels and there were all the trade rumors, we were wondering if he could win an MVP in both leagues. Yeah. See? That's it. How about that? I don't even remember what happened yesterday, but what do I remember Willie McGee in that spot cap? Willie McGee. He was a hell of a player. That's interesting. Yeah. And so that, and the reason why I bring that up, Shay, is because what if with crochet, right? He's that good and he goes to someplace else and still can be able to win a title. You know, be the top of the Cy Young standings. Let me see. Crochet happen. That could happen. Career high in innings. And you can't make like what's now, right? Yeah. But his career high prior to this, his career high in innings pitched for Garrett crochet of the White Sox. 54 and a third. He's like 94 and a third right now. He's almost double right now. How far are you going to let him go? It's only June. You're going through 200 innings? No chance. No chance. You can't. On this team, well, it'll be on somebody's already had a Tommy John cap. It's going to be on someone's team. He's at 94 and a third, I don't think he needs to throw 200 innings to win it though, either. Nobody throws 200 innings anymore. He could throw 170 and win it. Okay. You're going to let him throw 170 innings. And this team, and it was what two years ago he had Tommy John? Well, cap, you're not going to shelve him. He wants the Bobby fifth day. He does. You're not going to put him on ice. Hmm. They can hang a banner from the rate Wow, Garrett crochet American League Sayon. Yeah. Hmm. All right. Shake. Put it on the season ticket package next year. Oh, the Cubs lost another close game last night with Drew Smiley walking in the winning run in the ninth inning for a walkoff walk. Cubs have fallen five games under 500. They're 37 and 42. How about this? Since May 1st, 18 and 30 falling from first place in the division to third worst in the National League shot or no shot. The Cubs will end up with a higher draft pick than the white Sox. Oh, that's a shot because the Sox can't pick higher than 10th because you can't be in the lottery back to back years as a big market team. Yeah, that's a shot. Absolutely a shot. Now they could also turn this around. There are only three games out of the wild card and maybe over there somebody walks into Jed's office today and says, I don't care what the cost is. Go get a closer. I don't care. Yeah. Fix it. Now again, that plugs one hole. What about the rest of them? I think if you fixed your bullpen and got a couple of arms, not just one, a couple three three, at least two and then get some guys back from injury. If you fixed your horrible bullpen that's blown 17 games, I do think everyone relaxes. I mean, if you took of the 17, you blow in a game eight wins. That's all of a sudden you're like, wow, we're going to the playoffs. As a position player and as a hitter, I got to take care of mine. Correct. Everybody's tight. We're going to blow. We've got to get more. Oh, relax. We got to win. You had eight more wins to this team and take eight losses away. It's a totally different vibe. Totally interesting. You say eight because April 27th, this team was eight games above 500. Yeah. I just picked a random number out of 17 blown saves if you took eight and gave them victories. Awful. And in a span of about 50 plus games, 50, say 53, 54 games, this team is hitting under 200 with runs with scoring position. That's all you need to know right there. It's not all that deep. Not for me. It's not that deep. You were watching the games every night. We know what is going on. They can't hit and they got no leverage seven, eighth and ninth. You're starting pitching. He's a straight to the ball club. That's all you have. But when Jed just sits on his hands and just like, you know what, it's a little manifest yourself because it's June, the whole realization that you just rename the team Chicago. It's June because the Cubs don't care. They think it's a long season. We'll get out of it. And maybe they will. But we haven't seen any any side of that yet. I just don't see who they think is going to magically appear that they can get for their bullpen and that automatically they're going to get back in the race. They're nine back and they're dead last. Yeah. That's embarrassing. Che. All right. There's a story going around a man at a casino in Singapore allegedly suffered a cardiac arrest after hitting a jackpot for four million US dollars on a slot machine. I mean, four million and he was so excited that he allegedly suffered cardiac arrest and passed away. Now, this is being disputed. It sounds like he could be alive and well. There's no confirmed story. The hope, obviously, is that he's alive. The video I sent you, they're working on him on the ground. I'm going to operate under the idea that you win four million dollars and immediately pass away because I believe that might be the best way to go. Shorter. No shot. This is the best way to go and never enjoy the money. When the money, but never enjoy it, but you go out a winner. No, it's not the best feeling is joy. The best way to go is to go in your sleep and sex. That would be yes, but to go in your sleep and not have to suffer some horrific disease that we see people pass away from every day and just go to sleep and not wake up. Yeah, be sad, but that would probably be the most beautiful way to go. No suffering. It's over. Yes. But wow, win four million and cash them in. I'm telling you, it's great. Your last feeling is the best euphoria you've ever experienced lights off. You don't know the difference. You just had the greatest moment in your life. Bang, you're done. I think that's incredible. You go out a winner. Not everybody gets to say that. Wow. Imagine if that happens to cap though. I mean, four million, he finally gets the big one because he's been betting all his life. He just wants to have the big one and he finally gets it four million dollars. And then so long everybody and cap starts to float away. Wait a minute. I got to put this head up early, wait, Mindy. Cap's gone. Good night, everybody. Good. Thanks for coming. You'd be so pissed by the time you get to the pearly gates. Be so pissed. Wow. What's the matter, young David? I had four million dollars back on earth and I couldn't even touch it. Oh, God. Sorry. You'd be so mad. Wow. Young David, please calm yourself. You won't need that money here. What do you mean I won't need the money? Oh, God. Sorry again. Just say it. I mean, it's right there. I've been waiting for this all my life. Four million dollars. Give it to Mindy and the kids. Oh. Yeah, but still, in heaven, you'd still be pissed that you can't put it in the parlay or on a horse or buy a horse. You'd still be upset about it though. What did you need that money for? There was a horse at the Kingland sale I wanted to buy. Here's a horse right here. It's very beautiful, but I can't gamble on them up here. You sent me down for another year just so I can get those millions. Sorry. You're up here now. I want to see if the Cubs turn it around. He wants to see it, Evan, while he's dead, whether the Cubs turn it around. No shot. Lord, just laugh on that. You're ever, you're ever knowing, do the Cubs turn around this year? No shot. Absolutely not. Ah, come on. You can make things happen. Not with this ball club. They don't care. They're horrible. They're good. Laura's a sports talk show. It'd be great. Actually. He's breaking it down for you. We actually do a show up here. We actually do a show up here. Cap upstairs doing sports talk. Put that in feeder. Good old GSPN. Oh. GSPN. Like that. That'd be great, Cap. That's your next spot right there. You won't be with me, but you'd be happy. They didn't tell you. Am I going to? Oh, God. We got mornings. Dude, yeah. Can't the morning shift up there too, right? Got mornings. Bad news starts next week. Okay. That's nice to know. Oh, wow. I think it's all fun and games until Heaven's just a cornfield in Iowa. Wow. You're doing a show in the outfield. That's okay. Calling baseball. That's no problem. As long as Tim Anderson hits the home run. Turn over again every day of my life. I can see. She's bloody. I'm telling. Come on. If that night the lights shut off, you would have been going out in a euphoric place. You would have never known what happened to the White Sox after the fact. It would have been wonderful. And instead we got to be living in this misery where the White Sox are an historically bad baseball team. That was the moment winning four million at a slot machine. Lord, take me. It's not going to get better than this. That's kind of true. And actually, Cap, does it get better than winning four million? Put that on the pole. Add ESPN 1000. Does it get any better than winning four million dollars? Pretty good. And dying afterwards around the NFL is coming up next Albert Breyer scheduled to be with us at 835. I'm looking forward to that. Well, we'll see. Follow Chicago's home for sports on Twitter at ESPN 1000. Cap and Jay Hood are back on ESPN Chicago, Chicago's home for sports. Both Sox, these Sox, I'm just a fan and I'm not a football evaluateer. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is front, but there he goes. This is not Detroit, man. This is the Super Bowl. I love winning. He starts coming. And he pulled out. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things here? Oh, boy. What do you mean be careful? You know what I mean. I didn't say anything wrong. I was just trying to make sure that you understood where I was coming from. That's it. Is it clear now? Yes. All right. Now we go around the NFL right here on Cap and Jay Hood here on ESPN 1000 around the NFL with Shane or like Shane. I've ended my frustration a little bit on the NFL or on the NHL expanding into cities where nobody cares about hockey. I hate it. And fittingly, Bill Barnwell posted a piece on ESPN.com if the NFL went the route of European soccer and supported 100 teams in America. Where would the expansion teams be? I want to offer some of the more fun locations for you and tell me if it could work. Okay. In the Midwest, Barnwell has 17 teams, including the existing teams. The first expansion team goes to... Come on. Rockford, Illinois. No. Get out of here with that. Get out of here with that. Yeah. Don't even joke. Rockford. No shot. Next. There's space. Come on. There is space. No. There's no question about that. But the hockey team is strong enough. That's all you need up there. He had, I believe, a rule. He was not going to put any team in a city with an existing team. So Chicago could not have a second team. Therefore, Chicago's second team went to Rockford. You know what? I'm out. There is going to be a second team. Maybe not in our lifetime, but your lifetime, Shane. There's going to be a second, NFL team in Chicago. It will be an AFC team in Chicago playing at Soldier Field. Shane. How about Columbus, Ohio? Hmm. Got it on HL team in Columbus. Yeah. Ohio State. Yep. College Town. But could you imagine Ohio State Saturday, your NFL team on Sunday back to back up a weekend? Yeah, but with too many Browns and Bengals fans in the area, yeah, no shot. Yeah, poach some of them. Why not? It's not. What do you mean poach some of them? It's a growing city. They could put it another team here called Rockford. I don't care if the Bears are only 17. I'm not jumping off the ship. That's my team. Not saying there, but in Columbus, I think that's possible, actually. You're not poaching fans of the Browns and the Bengals. You could rip off some of the Southern Ohio fans that latch onto Cleveland. No way. Almost worked there. It would take time, but you could. I mean, the whole point of this, he said, look at London, where they've got like nine teams in a 20 square mile area. And they all have individual fan bases in the Premier League. From my time there, I like Columbus. I wasn't going to be there full time, clearly. Shout to Kirk Herb Street. Rather than you and Herb Street. Woody Des Moines, Iowa did make the list. Quad cities supporting the NFL team. What do you think, Cap? Des Moines. No shot. Yeah, I don't think so. No shot. You know what's in my... In back my mind for all of this stuff is the portrait 500 companies and this infrastructure to be able to support these teams. Like the sponsorships. That's what's in my mind. It's like, what's the big sponsor to support the teams in those cities? You know what? This is why we can't have the whalers and hard for it anymore. All these fortune 400 companies. Just saying. There's no shot. All right. What's the next one? We move to Texas. Okay. First, St. Louis was on the list. That's an obvious yes. They never should have lost their team, so I'm glossing over. They should absolutely have a team. We go to Texas where Barnwell's putting a team in San Antonio. Yep. Over Jerry Jones' dead body. There should be one. There should be one in San Antonio, but Jerry says no. Or Austin. Oh boy. Austin's on the list. Barnwell also said he is preventing Jerry Jones from suing over another team being in Texas, but out of respect for Jerry Jones, he won't put a team in Fort Worth. Okay. That's too close. I understand. Just close for come. Right there. San Antonio should have an NFL team. I would agree with that. They have the infrastructure there. It's between. You see the Austin or San Antonio, and Austin is booming. It is booming. It's just they're running out of space. It's so much construction going on now, now cap with businesses and homes and everything else. Boy, oh boy. It's it is expanding. I've never been. Austin. It's one of the places I'd like to visit. I've never been. Beautiful. Probably go back again this year. Che. My favorite location on the list. Waco. Waco. I'm in there either. I don't plan. I don't think I need to go to wake. No shot. Unless I'm going directly into the Baylor Bears stadium and directly out. I don't think so. Yeah, pass. Next one. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Interesting. How much money does Sonic have to support the Thunder and the Oklahoma City football team? Right. Because that's the home of Sonic if I'm not mistaken. Oklahoma City. Yeah. So I've never had Sonic. My kids like Sonic when they visited relatives in Texas. It's okay. Never been. Yeah. You know, it's funny, Shay, from my standpoint at Cap's standpoint, we never thought there'd be any pro anything in Oklahoma. Such a strong college state with Oklahoma and Oklahoma state. Never thought we'd see that there. Possibility though. Absolutely. Next one. Jamor, we're putting an NFL team in Laramie, Wyoming. No shot back. Nope. And I've been there. What? What do you mean? Hell no. Wait a minute, Jaymore. Wait a minute. Nah. I can't do that one. What did you tell us, Jaymore? You said like, if you're trying to kick it in Laramie, you go to Denver, right, or Colorado Springs? Yes. It's nothing up there in Wyoming, man. So you do it to drive to Denver, right? Is that what you did? Yeah. You got to drive to Denver, man. And get out of that. They just put a movie theater there like, but three years ago? Four years ago? Oh, wow. I was three years ago. Yes. What the hell? No shot, Jaymore. Seriously. The first movie theater in Laramie opened three years ago. Maybe four. Three or four years ago. Shit. It's unbelievable. Shit would die. Yeah, I would never live there. Not a million years. So you go see football there? No. A football team? Where is my IMAX? Dude, I go to a Wyoming college game. Why is it different because the culture and the schools there, but I'm talking about professional, well, the professional football team would not last in Laramie. Jill. Jaymore, how was the running water? I know they just put that in a few years ago as well. Is that good? It's actually pretty good. The candles that you light things with that doesn't cause any problems that you don't have lights yet. No electricity. Oh man. They're working on it. We're working on it. I'd just save some of these for Albert Breer as well. Could you squeeze in one more? Lighten candles and Laramie for dinner. He's got 11 teams going to California, and I want to ask you if he's cheating. Because obviously Los Angeles has two teams. San Francisco has a team, and he's putting teams in San Diego. That's okay. Should be one. Give the Chargers back. But then he's going Anaheim, San Bernardino, Bakersfield, Fresno, all basically LA. And then San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento and Oakland. Come on. You're cheating. No, yes. But that whole thing that you just gave us, Fresno, Bakersfield, that's the whole same area. He's doing two entire metropolitan areas. The Bay Area is one pretty much. Would you say Fresno, Bakersfield and what else? Fresno, Bakersfield, San Bernardino and Anaheim. Anaheim. No. That's all LA. Yeah, that's LA. That's Orange County. No, but that that little glum, those two or three represents one area. All right, let's ask Albert his thoughts. I'd like to get his thoughts about some of these. I think that's pretty fun. And more around the NFL with Albert Brere. That's coming up next on Captain Jayhill.
