We don't have anything better than that in the Stone Cold Steve Austin files.
So whenever it is you guys find it, just interrupt whatever I'm saying, even if we're talking about Stacey King or Rick Adleman or something that's somber, just interrupt whatever it is that you guys find it and simply play the Stone Cold Steve Austin
getting into a cold tub so that we can enjoy that together again.
I want to get to something from baseball.
There were a couple of things from baseball I wanted to talk about.
First of all, the Marlins took two out of three from my beloved Rays, and in one of them you had the dramatics at the end of the game where you have Tyler Zuber trying to get his first save for the Marlins, and he's got to do it by going through Junior Caminero,
with the bases loaded, up one run, and a 3-2 count, okay?
So you have a situation where you're facing one of the best hitters in baseball, maybe the best bat speed anywhere in baseball, and he knows you have to throw a strike, and he struck him out.
But one of the things that happened during the at-bat that I'm never gonna get used to and bothers me.
The announcers say when Junior Caminero could have challenged a pitch and turned... Goddamn!
Everyone says that I talk to who does cold tubs say that it is life-changing in terms of how it helps your health to start a day that way by just making all of the blood cells rush to the places that need it in your body because it thinks it's freezing.
What is the worst part of the life?
Stoogatz.
Caminero, as I was saying, it's 3-2 count, and the bases are loaded, and the Rays are down by a run, and the announcer says, after Caminero would have challenged a ball that was called a strike that would have put the count even more in his favor, the announcer said something, and I want to get your thoughts on this, because I still think this is going to make an appearance during the NBA Finals, and I think it's going to be a talking point, as it was a little bit during the OKC San Antonio series.
The idea that in basketball, you can use your challenges correctly to correct a couple of times what the refs have gotten wrong to keep Victor Wenbyama out of foul trouble and not have any challenges left for the end of the game.
The announcer said during the Caminero at bat, that's what you get for using your challenges.
challenges too early.
And I just hate that.
I hate the fact that the umpire and the whole game can be swung on the fact that we're still not getting either the technology or the system right.
And you have to, you know, use your challenges correctly or you lose your challenges because otherwise people would be doing 70 challenges in a game.
