Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk about the British Open and the World Cup with Michael Wilbon. We'll talk some more about Spain's win over Argentina with Taylor Twelman. But first, commerce. I've been thinking about fish luck. What about it? How can you catch so well? Even though we have the same gear and the same promises, and the boat goes in the same water, just like these fish would catch me. Or the other way around. How do they know who's on the other side? Am I so obvious? Don't think too much. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. I would say that Riggins is the number one guy, and I was also surprised. They don't retire a lot of numbers, but they have retired some numbers. I was surprised it took this long.
From what I've read, he had a bad relationship with Dan Snyder, and maybe it was blocked on that executive level. Had you ever heard anything like that?
I can't believe it. I've never heard in my life that anybody had a bad relationship with Daniel Snyder. That's remarkable. I mean...
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. Okay, so let's do the Nats update to begin with. The Nats played the Athletics. The Athletics used to be in Oakland.
Yeah, try explaining this to my kids.
A cavernous ballpark. They decided they were going to move to Las Vegas when a new stadium was built. And Oakland said, get out of here. And so they're playing most of their games in a minor league stadium in Sacramento, and they are playing some of their games in a minor league stadium in Las Vegas, because they are a decidedly minor league team at this point. The place in Las Vegas is essentially a launching pad for home runs. It's thin air, and it's 400 degrees, and... If you recall, all of the highest scoring games in the baseball this year have been in this particular band box of a stadium. So in the first game, the Nats won 100-2. You know, they had, I don't know, 23 runs, something insane on Friday.
I mean, Chaparro had, what, eight RBI himself?
Yeah. Yeah.
Chaput's fault.
Get off the team.
And we don't have the… Chaput's fault. In the second game, they lost 100-2. They almost got no hit. The same thing happened the other way around. And in the decisive game yesterday, the Nats once again won a series on the road, and they built a 5-1 lead going into the eighth. Actually, it was earlier than that, because I watched the inning where Abrams and Dylan Cruz went back-to-back with home runs, neither of which, it seemed to me, actually were home runs. It seemed to me that both of them hit the wall. And yet they were given home runs because I guess in that ballpark, anything that's hit hard, they just say it's a home run. Even a single, it's a home run. It's a home run. They took a 5-1 lead into the eighth.
I stopped watching because I'm afraid of the bullpen. Michael, what happened? They held on, right?
At this point, I was switched over to a different sport on one of the biggest sports day to the point where your TV looks at you. Are you sure you're still watching all this? But yes, the bullpen still had on. And the bigger story is they had to bring up the catcher for the series. And he got his first home run, I think, in the first game. Yeah.
Yeah, because Millis broke a finger or something like that. Which apparently has been bugging him, I think, all season. Well, Harry Ford could stay in that spot for the rest of time if he hits. He could. I mean, he has to hit, so we'll see. So we'll do without that. Wilbon will be on, and so we will talk to Wilbon about the British Open and talk to Michael about the British Open as well. We'll get to that in a second. Taylor Twellman will be on, so we'll talk to him about the World Cup. Talk to Wilbon about the World Cup as well. I am anticipating Wilbon saying it's the greatest thing he ever saw in his life. And while the rest of us say, wait a second, it was 25 shots on goal to zero. To zero. What do you think of the halftime show?
Oh, I begged that. I didn't watch that.
