What sports events does Tony discuss at the beginning?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk with Michael Wilbon about a nice weekend for Northwestern University, and we'll also chat with loyal little and survivor contestant Rick Devins. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show. That's the problem here. We are rewarding slightly above-average teams with a fake prize, basically, if this happens, because college sports can't say no to anybody when it comes to the idea of we need more money.
So let me ask, I mean, before I make the jokes like they'll have, you know, play-in games in Dayton, before I do that... The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. I think we need to understand that there are five people who watch the Nats. Everybody else is watching something else. Those five people are Alan, the socialite, is watching the Nats. He mailed me or texted me 12 times. He's in Florida. He's texting me, watching the game. There's Chris Saliza, there's Chuck Todd, there's Michael, and there's me. We are the only ones that watch. That's it. And we watch constantly. And now I'm 20 seconds behind. At least 20 seconds behind. I don't understand this. Oh, that's 61. Are you not on 1261?
No, no, I'm in the real channels. What are the real? I'm in the 500s. But I have Verizon. I have always been ahead of you as a Comcast, but when you were on the Masson Network, you felt like you were a pitch behind me, and now you're a good two pitches behind me.
I'm 20 seconds behind Michael and everyone else. So Lizzie gets it one pitch before I do. How does he, what does he have? I think streaming. Okay, so I'm really late. And you know how late I am last night? The Nats in the ninth inning, the Nats had to protect a lead. They bring in Varland to protect the lead to begin with. And Varland, the first two guys get hits, right? Single, single. And so you got to take him out. Yes. And the baby manager comes out. The baby manager. And he takes him out. The baby manager takes him out. And he brings in Lovelady.
Yes.
Who's pitched like every day for the last year.
Again.
And he's really good. And he should have gotten out of it. He induced a ground ball double play, a 4-6-3 if I have ever seen a 4-6-3. And this guy at second. Nunez? Nunez boots it. He boots it. So now there's real trouble. Ultimately, after Lovelady, they bring in Robalta. And they bring him in. Bases are loaded when they bring him in with one out, and they're only up one. And Robalta pitches great.
How did Northwestern's women's lacrosse team perform recently?
Robalta gets a strikeout for two outs. Big sweepers. And Robalta gets a ground ball on the right-hand side, but to, thankfully, the first baseman. The second baseman. Not the second baseman.
But an at-bat that you were just expecting the worst with Acuna at the plate.
Right, because he's the best player on the team. He's a great player.
But as you zoom out for the last two days, this was a series where over 17 innings, they kept the Braves scoreless for the first time in years. This is the first series when they've had in Atlanta, I think, since 24.
Let me get to my 20-second delay. I get a phone call right before... Two pitches before Acuna hits the ball to first base and the pitcher covers. I get a phone call from Mark Toohey. Great win. The what? Yeah. What? Because everybody else knows it but me. Yeah. Because I'm on 1261. And I'm 20 seconds late.
So the stress I feel is when I'm watching GameCast. So to reset my night, I'm reading to the baby boy in his bed by the glow of GameCast going in play runs. And you just that's the worst thing you could see.
I will just say this. They are playing today at Cincinnati on Memorial Day. There's no chance they're going to win this game. Cleveland. Cleveland, rather. There's no chance they're going to win this game. They had a two-hour rain delay. They had to go back onto the field. They had to leave. They had to fly. God knows when they got to Cleveland. They have no chance of winning this one.
So back to that play at second base. They brought out construction equipment to get the infield playable.
Because they missed on the right-hand side. They missed on the first base side.
