Previously on the Tony Kornhauser Show.
I played with Jimmy Crilly and with Jed Tenold and Alex Tenold. And Alex is his son. And Alex is a contemporary of yours. Yeah, he's a counselor guy. Yeah, and he's very nice. He's a very good player. I had four triples. And when I say give me a triple, it means I got higher than that. That's a handicap triple. Give me a triple. Taking it. I had four different triples. Starting out on one, it's a bad day when you start out on one and you go triple. I just want to go back to the box. One, six, seven, and twelve.
This is General George Washington, and you're listening to The Tony Kornheiser Show.
And we have a haiku for this from Shad. That's bipsic, gmat, ball in pocket, sit in cart, give me a triple. Yeah, and they were all tens. At least tens. At least tens.
At least tens. We have Father's Day around the corner to celebrate your dad. TK triple.
Go check out JohnnyO.com. I can't get out of sand. I can't get out of sand. All right, square up the stance. I'm going to call Shannon today. We're going to be making a more V-shaped swing. I'm going to call Shannon today and say, just give me a lesson. Just let me get out there.
All right. You're going to have to draw straws for this one. We are guest loaded.
We are guest loaded today. We have Ron Flatter to talk about the Belmont. We have David Remnick to talk about New York. We have Dan Graziano to talk about the trades in the NFL. So the beginning of the show is not going to be rambling. It's going to be rambling, but it's going to stop so that we can get to flatter. So let me just start with this. Let me start with the hockey because there's an amazing statistic in the hockey. Carolina was beaten last night at home. They had a 2-0 lead. They had a 2-0 lead in the first period. According to a story that I read on ESPN.com, All time. All time in the NHL playoffs. All time. Teams that had multiple goal leads and lost game one 0-55. 0-55. Bernie Wolf always says 2-0 lead is the shakiest lead in hockey.
Yeah. And Vegas came back. Vegas won the game. They won the game 5-4. Vegas had, I think, 23 shots on goal. Carolina had been allowing 16 to Montreal. Now, you know, I'm not going to proclaim the series over because I don't know enough about hockey, but I will say this. Carolina in the previous series to Montreal lost game one at home and then won four in a row. That's right. So you can't, I don't think you can count them out. But Vegas is a lot better. Vegas is a different piece. Vegas is a lot better than Montreal. All time, went down multiple goals in game one. Road teams. 0-55. That's all time. You're armed with the stats today. Yeah, well, I read that, and I thought it was a cool little stat. That is. Nats lose last night.
And the series loss. Yeah, they've lost the series to the Marlins. They always lose to the Marlins. The Marlins stink. The Marlins are traditionally a worse team than the Nats, even when the Nats are terrible. The Marlins are equally terrible, or more terrible. And they beat them in Miami earlier this year, and now they're beating them in Washington. It started out, they put Lovelady on the mound as sort of an opener situation. I don't know how he earned that because the night before he gave up the game-winning home run, I was angry at that. But he got through two innings and he was fine. He turned it over to Meatball Miklas. And Meatball had a good outing except for the top of the fifth. Yeah, except for four batters.
Yeah, except for the top of the fifth where he yielded back to back to back home runs. Well, that's nitpicking, isn't it? Yeah, throw a walk in there. I guess. The Nats were still in it, though. The Nats had a chance to tie. They had a runner in scoring position. They were only down one.
