It's Jerry Seinfeld used to say to Lou to Lou. All right, we're out of here. No, we're not. We have a lot to go 40 minutes until Sam Levitt's pregame show. Padre vase ball starting an hour earlier tonight, a 540 get together at Petco Park. It'll be the Padres against the Los Angeles Dodgers game two of a two game series. Padre is one last night, as you know, six, five, tenoning comeback victory from five nothing down, seventh walk off win of this season. Seven of their 27 home wins have been in walk off fashion tonight. Hopefully it doesn't need to be that dramatic. Dylan Sees will look to continue one of the strongest pitching runs in modern baseball history man has allowed two hits in his last three starts, including a no hitter the last time out. Cecil faced the Dodgers future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw, which should be a very intriguing matchup tonight out at the ball yard for the ball team. Yes, for this Tony, when junior called to Padres earlier today, Jesse and Tony will have the call of the game tonight, beginning at five 40. Scrappy is on vacation in 40 minutes, 37 minutes. He's out of here. Let's do it for about four days. We will have a full four hour show without him tomorrow. Tony will be in studio with me and you and everybody else tomorrow as the Padres enjoy a day off before the Colorado Rockies come calling over the weekend. Speaking of bad teams, Chicago White Sox fall again today. I mean, this really isn't surprising at this point. I mean, who's left on the roster and I can imagine Gary Crochet is really a very tone deaf by the way, so tone deaf. I mean, he came out and said, Oh, I don't think my stance that I wouldn't pitch in the postseason had anything to do with me not being traded for whatever makes you sleep at night. Yeah, whatever works for you. I mean, because it's it had everything to do with nobody trading for him. Yeah. Everybody is like, huh? Yeah. He stays with the White Sox. They lose their 17th straight game today. Drew Thorpe. Remember that name? I do. He was the losing pitcher today or yesterday, I don't know today. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, the White Sox don't have much left. They have we talked about the potters have 27 home wins this season. The White Sox have 27 wins period. That's crazy. And they've lost 17 in a row, which gets you to start shuffling through the record books. All time longest major league baseball losing streak in modern times, the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies. They got the record 23 in a row Orioles lost 21 in a row in 1988. Oh, by the way, those were the first 21 games of the season. You imagine going through that. Wow. The Louisville redbirds or something lost 26 in a row, but that was back in the 1800s. So White Sox have a shot at that, you know, keep it up. I say, if you're going to be bad, you might as well be historically bad. Yeah. Why not? Yeah. You could always say I played for the worst team in major league history. I did. Yeah. Why not? Something to hang your hat on. Totally is. 833-288-0973. Give you that number because with a phone call to that number, you can get yourself in line to play some Chris versus the fan and perhaps qualify for a trip to the Rio Las Vegas. It includes a two night stay dinner for two and a day bed at the Rio pool. The Rio Las Vegas is back, baby. New ownership, newly remodeled rooms, four sparkling new pools and a brand new food haul. It's all ready for you now and for your next Vegas escape beyond the expected beyond the strip, beyond your wildest dreams, Rio Las Vegas, the rhythm of Vegas every time. Yeah. I don't mean to make fun. I don't mean to make fun of our sponsors, but no, we're not. I mean, honestly, when you think of Vegas and the rhythm of the whole thing, does the Rio pop in to mind? The Rio is a nice place. I have been there. I mean, I won. I told you. I love that place because I won big money there on the penny slots. Good for you. Book now at thereolosvegas.com. Let's play. If you had one shot, one opportunity to take down the human arm and act himself, how would he do? Now is your time. Listen to me, this guy. Stangers. Now is your opportunity to win a prize. Well, I hope you know what you're in for. All right, before we get into the game, I have a very important announcement. I just received a text message from Samuel Lovett and he said, I want you to tell the listeners I have a in all caps jam-packed pregame show. Oh, does he? He does. So I'm passing it along. Make sure you stay tuned for Sam's pregame show here at 440. He has a jam-packed pregame show. It's the eco-water so-cow. Pondry pregame show with Sam Lovett. By the way, just because he asks for free advertisement on our show doesn't mean we have to give it to him. I will give it to Sam whenever he... When is the last time that during the pregame or postgame show, Sam said, make sure tomorrow you listen to Gwen and Chris? He hasn't said that, but every time he does a day game, he says, stay tuned! Chris and Scrabie are going to take you home tonight! Yeah, but he doesn't say we have a jam-packed show. Well, because we don't. Because we don't. All right, well, that'll be fun. Sam Lovett's pregame show is coming up in about a half of an hour. Yes. Jam-packed! Jam-packed as it is. I would also like to announce that Chris vs. the fans has a new sponsor, Chris. Chris vs. the fans is now present. Knowing how to speak and understand a new language can be an invaluable tool when traveling, meeting new friends, or just even a master new skill.

Let us know, before the first question, you will get that question for free today. I don't believe I've done a good job answering questions lately. We did play a new day. People have been winning on my mishaps lately, so it's a good time to play. I seem to be in a slump. Let's find the next mishap for you. Let's go to one. Nothing makes you happier than for me to miss questions. I know. Hello, Juan. What's up, boys? Are you ready to play? Let's do it. Good to talk to you, Juan. Question number one. By the way, the Angels once split a double header with the White Sox back in the day. The Los Angeles Herald examiners headline because an outfield in a one beneath as won the first game with a homer and lost the second game with an error. Oh, wow. The Angels win one, lose one. For some reason I don't, I just did that for Juan out there. Did you like that one? I love it. That's the second time I've done it to you. I don't remember that one. I don't remember that one. That's funny. That's funny. All right. All right. Here we go with our bad jokes. Yeah. Yeah. Question number one. I think I already played the bad. Yeah. Never mind. What city is Blake Snell from? Oh, that's not a gimme. Yes, it is. You think? Yeah. See, everybody knows that. We'll see. Juan. Oh, I know from Washington. Just name a big city in Washington. Oh, Seattle. You're going to go with Seattle. You are correct. You got it. There you go. It would have been kind of a shame if it was Walla Walla or something. I wouldn't. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Question number two. All right. It's on May 8th, 2012. Josh Hamilton hit four home runs in a game for what team? Oh, what a game. Say it again. Good answer. Cubs. Stay there, Juan. Stay there, Juan. I've been in a slump. I think you know. I think I know this one. Tejas Rangers. Sorry, one. Good talking to you, Juan. Thank you. I promise not to use the one beneath as joke on you next time. I guarantee you do. I might. I guarantee you. My mind works like that. Yes. It was the Rangers, correct. Okay. Didn't they? They didn't go to the World Series that year. I don't remember. In 2010, 2011. Yeah. Get those confused. All right. Let's go to our next contestant. Let's go to Joseph. I'm San Diego. Hello, Joseph. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Are you ready? Bye. He's ready. I'm ready to lose the Chris. No, you're not. Come on. No. Here we go. Question number one. Rangers were in the World Series 10 and 11. You're right. Okay. Fantastic. Royal's baseball player is going to lead me to a fantasy. It'll lead my fantasy team to a second championship. I feel like that's the leading question that Chris didn't like it. So Bobby, what you hear? Correct. Correct. Is this Joseph from the Discord in the chat? Yeah. Okay. I knew it. All right. I'm going to do everything I can to prevent that question from coming true, by the way. Chris is one game ahead of me in the standings. That's right. This is the playoffs. This presence of Bobby Witt. We're both the playoffs. All right, Joseph. Here we go. Question number two. Joseph also came to Spiro's for our show in Coronado. All right. All right. Here we go. Joseph got the seeming meltdown that day. You were in a, in a mood. Well, we showed up and there was no power for a radio broadcast, Chris. All right. What player leads the Boston Red Sox organization in RBI's? Ever? Fair question. I don't know. Big Poppy. Big Poppy. Interesting guess. I don't know that I would have gone there. They're Joseph. That's a really tough question. They've got some great players. The Boston Red Sox. Mm-hmm. I'm torn. Um, obviously, Theodore Williams is in the running for this. Obviously, man, or really, obviously, uh, Manny Ramirez would be in the running for this. So tough. I think Jimmy Fox is in the running for this. The catcher, I think Carl Jostremsky is in the running for this. I think I'm going to go with Carl Jostremsky. I think he played more and longer than the rest of those guys. Oh, Joseph. I'm sorry. Sorry, Joseph. I finagled it out. Thank you for playing, Joseph. Yeah. Thank you for playing. That's a good question right there. Thank you. Thank you. Red Sox have had some, uh, some masters over the years. By the way, the, uh, fantasy group is mad now that I said I'm going to win a second championship. They should be. They're texting that I'm not going to. Just, you know, even though I don't get in the text chat very often, please understand all you, uh, fantasy players in our league. I root for each of you each week that you play Scrabby, just so you know what. I'm always rooting for you. All right. Here we go to our next contestant. Let's go to Ryan. Hello, Ryan. Hey, I know. Are you ready to play? Yes, sir. Okay. Here we go. Question number one. Major League Baseball reporter Matt Snyder works for what company? Yes, Ben. Yeah, reason to ask is we had him on Monday. He's on all the time. CBS Sports. Sorry, Ryan. Sorry about that, Ryan. Okay. Moving along. Moving along. Yeah. Uh, all right. Let's go to Brad and Ocean side. Hello Bradley. Hey, go Padres, baby. You got it, Brad. Padres, baby. You got it. All right. Question number one. Uh, let's see. What state is the field of dreams field in Ohio? Ohio. Ohio. I love it. Cooperstown is in Ohio. No, it's not. According to me. Yeah. Youngstown. Uh, that would be Iowa would be your answer. That's where Scrabby's going tomorrow or Saturday. All right. In the interest of time, we have to go tiebreaker tiebreaker. Wilbur would bless you. Wilbur would he's will. That was his name. Picture Chicago White Sox back in the seventies. Okay. Wilbur would led the league in victories twice. Mm. I thought he was a babe character back to back years. Wilbur would. You know what babe is? The movie babe? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Yeah. About the pig. My goodness. I saw that. Good job. Good luck with your sneezing. I know. Wilbur would three time all star. So he's our guy today. All right. So we're going to go with Wilbur would Wilbur and we are going to go with our next contestant for the tiebreaker. I wonder if Wilbur would's the only Wilbur ever to be in baseball? No, can't be. You don't think so? Can't be. Wilbur. Wilbur. I don't know what that's from, but I don't stick in my head. Uh, let's go to another Brad Brad and see a team. What's up, Brad? Okay, Brad. Hey, what's up, guys? How much buddy tiebreaker time? Hold on, Brad. One second. Emiki has again. No. Emiki has a very good point. Elo has seen babe, but not the sand lot. That's shameful. That's true. I have a wife. Tell whoever wrote that. I mean, Laurie with my wife's sand lot. Yeah. She didn't drag me to the sand lot. She dragged me to babe. So there you go. Why were you? You guys shouldn't have been going to babe anyway. That was like a five year old movie. It was up for best picture. Babe? Yes, it was. The talking pig nominated for best picture. I'm almost sure. All right. I didn't know that. All right. Sorry about that, Brad. That's not the question. Tiebreaker is this. I'm going to ask Chris to give me or I'm going to ask Chris for a number. He's going to tell me whether I always mess this up. Yes, you do. I'm going to ask Chris to give me a number. You're going to guess whether or not the actual number is higher or lower than what Chris said. Okay. It's a Braveheart Apollo 13 sense and sensibility. Oh, yes. Il Postino and babe. How about that? That's not my name for best picture. Apollo 13. What was the other one? Braveheart one. Oh my goodness. Babe made it in. That's pretty good. I got it. I got to say. All right. Here we go, Brad. I'm going to ask Chris this question. Chris. How many innings did he pitch? Wilbur. 17 years. Yeah. He pitched a lot, man. Wilbur Wood once started, I believe, figure this out for yourself now, 49 games in one season. That's almost one third of his team's games. He was the starting pitcher. Wilbur Wood was a knuckleballer. He could throw almost every day. Okay. So to that end, I'm trying to figure out how many innings he pitched. Yeah. That's the goal. That's the deal here. All right. Wilbur. 17 years. He had to average 200 innings a year, average, let's say 3,000 innings, 3,000 innings. Brad is the actual answer higher or lower than 3,000 innings. Let's go with lower lower. You're correct. Nice job. He looked out because Wilbur Wood was a reliever for a while. Yes. That took his innings down. He, his career high was 376 and two thirds. 376. Can you imagine that? Nobody even gets within half of that in this day and age. No, he pitched 2,684 innings. Two six eight four. All right. Very good. Nice job, Brad. Wilbur was Charlotte's Web. I wonder. I don't know the Wilbur Wood was named after that, but that's neither here nor there. All right. We got to take some traffic here. One final segment of Gwen and Chris will update you on some Padre roster moves when we return. Hi, Chris. Hello, Matt Scrabie in the Odyssey Palace studios, Tony Gwen Jr. getting ready to call tonight's game at Petco Park with Jesse Agler and Sam Levitt with the eco water SoCal pre-game show jam-packed says Sammy. It's coming up in about 15 minutes. It gets ready for tonight's ball game between the San Diego Padres and the LA Cs. You scared friend Ted Leiter used to say Cs. Standing for crybabies. I love that. That is pretty funny. I got to say a couple of moves made by the Padres today. Official moves, you're pretty aware of the fact that the Padres have traded for Tanner Scott, Brian Hoeing and Martin Perez, all three now have actually joined the roster. And in order for that to happen, Padres had to make a couple of moves. Austin Davis was designated for assignment left hand reliever Logan Gillespie, our guest a couple of weeks ago, sorry about that Logan sent back down to the minor leagues. Hey, he said the way he stays, you know, ready to go back to the major league. He doesn't unpack. So that's right. He's already packed and ready to go. Steven Colek goes to the injured list. Sounds fine. You think that's a fugazee? I don't know. He pitched last night. I didn't see him looking to hurt. I know. It does sound like a little bit of, Hey, we need to, we need to rest you. We need it. We need a roster spot. Do you mind straining in Elbow for the next 10 days? Yeah. And it's not like, I mean, all teams do this. They all do that. All right. So those are the moves are made by the Padres. We got a few minutes left. I want to get into a couple of things. And I might want a little music for this, Scrappy, because I'm talking about the national football league. Oh my gosh. And I love talking about the national football league, especially when we are on the eve of the season unofficially beginning to be really counting that count that game tomorrow night. I can count it tomorrow night will be the Hall of Fame game. And guess what? He's going to watch for Caleb Williams and he's not going to play. Oh, nobody's going to play. But you know what? They're going to put the uniforms on. They're going to run out there. They're going to knock into each other for 10 minutes. And then I'll turn it off. Remember when Josh Jacobs played like the entire game last year and Josh McDaniel tried to explain it to people and everybody's like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Hey, it was the dumbest thing ever tomorrow. Yeah. Texans and Bears play the Hall of Fame game. So it's the unofficial beginning of the NFL season. And we have some fun controversies going on that I want to get into with you for a minute here. Scrab. All right. First up, we take you to the training camp of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can watch this melee. I need to see this on Twitter. I need online wherever you go for your videos. I need to see this. Here's what apparently happened in Pittsburgh today. According to reports, I don't know that either player has to explain themselves yet. Oh, wow. This is a pretty good one. Oh, yeah. It's a good one. Oh, wow. Yeah. According to reports. Quarterback Justin Fields battling for a spot with Russell Wilson. Well, actually, Wilson's kind of the starter or been named the starter evidently Justin Fields completed a touchdown pass in practice and turned to Russell Wilson and quit. Yeah, I'm the most expensive backup in the league. I should be making subs at Subway for whatever reason, according to the reports, Russell Wilson didn't like that. Now I don't know, you know, we might be overblowing this because it's just a report and I want them, you know, but so we're being a little jumping ahead of the gun here, but I, you know, it's fun to do. I'm looking at there's a couple of players that just said like that they were defending their quarterback. Basically, he's like, nobody's going to hit our quarterback cheap shot and get away with it. So they're talking about Russell Wilson, right? Well, Russell Wilson, according to the report, slapped with an open hand Justin Fields. I and that set off this melee and I mean, it's a melee. It is and I don't, I don't care how old you are or what part of life you're in. You should never slap anyone across the face. Well, I guess I, I don't know how hard it was. Again, we don't know that he did it for sure. He may deny it. Maybe they'll be the other video that comes out. But according to the reports, Justin Fields, maybe he was being kind of a jerk about the whole thing saying, yeah, I'm the most expensive backup in the league, huh, Russell Wilson doesn't like it slapped him. The I will say, rolling in Pittsburgh, I'm going to tell you something. Mike Tomlin is going to have to do again, one of his greatest coaching jobs with this team. Somehow he got them into the playoffs last year without even having a quarterback. Now he's got two guys that are already to each other's throats. I think Russell Wilson is probably like, how did I find myself here? I was just on top of the world two years ago. Now I'm competing for a spot. Wow. As he fallen. He really has. But Steelers did for Justin Fields that the Bears never did care. They cared about their quarterback. They backed him up in this nay way, evidently, that's, I mean, that's how the whole thing started. So keep an eye out for that story. Here's the other one. Apparently, the last two days at Florham Park, New Jersey, where the New York jet tropolitans practice, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Garrett Wilson have engaged in two - not one, but two - animated discussions on the sideline. Both of those have blown up on social media. Of course, Aaron Rodgers insisted today that his relationship with Wilson is fine and the heated moments between them aren't what they seem. I would expect Aaron Rodgers to say this, but however, Aaron Rodgers downplays everything. And you know what, not everything is really capable of being downplayed like the fact that he didn't show up for mandatory camp. He downplayed that too. Yeah. Didn't make it all right. He was like, oh, everything was fine. Sure. No big deal. I had a trip planned. I couldn't change the dates. What's the big deal? Well, it was a big deal to a lot of people, maybe even to Garrett Wilson, who wouldn't have minded without working out with his new quarterback. The one thing I don't get about the Egypt trip, you had literally so much time to go to Egypt, but you chose when the practices were probably going to be around. We're good. All right. Aaron Rodgers also has been ripping on his teammates during these practices for their poor play. I would be angry. I don't blame the Jets players for being angry at a guy who didn't even come to training camp. Like we're here to start ripping everybody. We're here working and you're in Egypt. I don't think it's going to work out for Roger. Maybe I just kind of hope it doesn't, but we'll have to see. All right. Thank you, Scrappy. Very good. Enjoy your little mini vacation, which starts tomorrow. Thank you. Adam Clue will sit in for you. Tony Gwen Jr. will be with me for four full hours on a Padre day off tomorrow. Stay tuned. Sam Levitz, Padre pregame show, eco water, show cow, pregame show coming up next. Jam back. Jam back show. Jam back game between the Dodgers and the Padres. Enjoy that. And we'll see everybody tomorrow on 97 three, the fan.
