What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It is a Friday. And this is Blair and Barker on Sportsnet 590. The fan and Sportsnet. The Jays are in Boston tonight for the start of a three-game series against the Red Sox, who've won 15 of 16. The Jays... Be interested in this. Rolls right off your tongue. Well, it does. Be interested in this because the Jays swept the Red Sox earlier this year. They have played well at Fenway Park, so... And they have Trey Savage on there. This is going to be interesting. This is going to be... This... You know, I... I want to make a big deal about any series going into the All-Star break, but... Trade deadline, you mean? I'm sorry, the trade deadline. Well, it beat you. Yeah. A lot of that going on. That's fine.
Hey-o. That's a raw view.
But it would certainly, if the Jays were, I don't know, let's say to sweep the Red Sox, would certainly create. Don't get silly. You know, create some, put a wrinkle into things. Put a wrinkle into things, I guess is the way I would say it. There it is. A reminder, tonight is an Apple TV game, but not to worry. You can listen to it on Sportsnet 590, The Fan, and you can listen to it. Please. We know them. Stop it.
We know one of them. Well, but yeah. We told one of them, and I really like him, and I don't think he was there last time. Anyhow.
It's an Apple TV game, and you can hear it on Sportsnet 590, the fan. Thank goodness.
What happened? I'm sorry. That's rude.
And then we'll be along following the game with Blue Jays talking. Of course, you can, you know, Sportsnet app, the whole thing.
Yeah, we're there for you.
We are there for you. There is MLB baseball on Sportsnet on the TV side tonight, mind you. Royals and Tigers on Sportsnet 1. Could be Tarek Skubal's last start for the Detroit Tigers. Should be. We're at that point. I don't think it should. You don't? No. Dodgers and Mets at 7 p.m. on Sportsnet. Guardians and Rays. My Rays at 7 p.m. on Sportsnet Plus. They're still my Rays even though they lost to the Jays.
What was the third game?
Guardians-Rays on Sportsnet Plus. Dodgers-Mets was the other one.
Oh, there you go.
Hmm. A series that looked a lot bigger when the schedule. Three months ago. Yeah. Trey Savage on the mound tonight against Patrick Sandoval of the Red Sox. We'll be joined later on in the show by John Schneider, Blue Jays manager. John Marossi as well. Rob Bradford, Red Sox reporter for WEEI in Boston and a host of the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast. And I forgot to bring my Baseball Isn't Boring shirt. He'll never talk to you again. Oh, he gave us one. I was going to wear it on Canada Day, and then I realized we didn't have a show on Canada Day. Not on TV, anyhow. Anyhow.
That's why you don't make promises, man. Wow. Never do that. Oh, before you do something, I do want to... Before the show started, I was given a... a nice little envelope here with a baseball card of mine from Nick Burr. And I just wanted to sort of show this because this is very nice of a baseball fan to send me one of my baseball cards. And I'm not sure that I've ever seen this before. Yeah, this is a very cool card. It is very cool. You know, it was actually when I was pretty good at baseball. What was your rookie card? Don't undersell yourself. It was... You know, a pretty cool time in my life. And for Nick to send me this card and not want anything in return. Let me turn it here so people can see it.
It is pretty cool. It's a great card. It's a pretty sweet baseball card. There's the front. Let me turn it a little bit more. Don't let it beat you, Kevin.
You were a good-looking guy back then, Mark.
Then I'll flip it around here on the other side, which is pretty cool. You were a good-looking guy back then. What happened? Well, I mean. I've been with you for like nine years. That'll do it to most people. Yeah, yeah. So, Nick, I really appreciate this. Yeah, it's really nice. You didn't have to do this. This means the world to me. I will take this home and keep this forever. Yeah, no, it's pretty cool. I really appreciate it.
I asked Kevin about his baseball cards. You probably know by now, Kevin is way too self-deprecating about his career.
