Speaker 1: Open the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine. The games Mike the Bulldog.
Speaker 2: Beyond you on JRR. The sports page is brought to
Speaker 2: you by the Lynching Tacos off Shore Fiasco. It's our
Speaker 2: fishing trip, which is going to be August twenty third,
Speaker 2: a Saturday, a full day of fishing out on the
Speaker 2: open seas. That's a sport, right there.
Speaker 1: I tell you tickets for the Offshore Fiasco, which sells
Speaker 1: out every year in record time. Tickets go on sale
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning at seven am on our website WJRR dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, so make a mental note of that, make
Speaker 2: a written note of that if you have to. We
Speaker 2: want to make sure if you want a space, you'll
Speaker 2: be able to get one. So act out of the
Speaker 2: gates Tuesday morning at seven Bulldogs on vacation. Right yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: So I guess it's me and you holding down the
Speaker 2: ford on the sports front.
Speaker 1: Well, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's begin with hockey news. The Florida Panthers destroy the
Speaker 2: Carolina Hurricanes in Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals
Speaker 2: in Raleigh, one of the toughest buildings to play in
Speaker 2: the NHL, and they take both games on the road
Speaker 2: in the opening two games of the seven game series.
Speaker 2: Panthers now up two to OHO after winning five ZIP
Speaker 2: last night, blanking the Hurricanes just unbelievable. They put up
Speaker 2: three in the first period, never looked back. Sam Bennett
Speaker 2: two of the five goals, Sergei Bobrowski seventeen saves, and
Speaker 2: the defending champs look like they're gonna defend their mountain.
Speaker 1: I watched, believe it or not, Yes, I watched a
Speaker 1: good amount of hockey last night, and I just thought
Speaker 1: that the dog may even call in this morning say
Speaker 1: how that taste?
Speaker 2: If there was a how that tastes moment, that certainly
Speaker 2: would be it. Game three will beat tomorrow night, as
Speaker 2: the series will pick back up in South Florida for
Speaker 2: games three and four tonight. In the Western Conference Finals,
Speaker 2: It'll be Game two Edmonton at Dallas. The Stars are
Speaker 2: up one to OH. I think that starts at eight
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight, if I'm not mistaken, all right? NBA Western
Speaker 2: Conference Finals Game two the Oklahoma City Thunder one to eighteen,
Speaker 2: Minnesota one oh three. OKC now up two ZIP in
Speaker 2: that series as well. Game three at Minnesota Saturday at
Speaker 2: eight thirty the MVP Shay Alexander Big Night thirty eight
Speaker 2: points and he's living up to his accolades.
Speaker 1: Man, dude, if you just I said this earlier in
Speaker 1: the show, if you have not seen that Alexander guy play,
Speaker 1: he's like Alexander the Great. That guy is hands down phenomenal.
Speaker 2: The Eastern Conference NBA Finals Game two tonight, Indiana at
Speaker 2: the New York Knicks from Madison Square Garden. That is
Speaker 2: this evening. Pacers up one. Oh. And that wouldn't that
Speaker 2: be something if they could take both games in New
Speaker 2: York City.
Speaker 1: I do see it the final, you know, like the
Speaker 1: whatever final game or whatever is going to be Indiana,
Speaker 1: And okay, see no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: Certainly kind of feels that way. But yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: seven game series, so we'll see what happens. I have
Speaker 2: some Major League Baseball news. This is not good news
Speaker 2: for the Colorado Rockies. They have now set an infamous
Speaker 2: mark for the first fifty games of a Major League
Speaker 2: Baseball team in the modern era.
Speaker 1: As this amount of losses or lack of people showing up.
Speaker 2: After the first fifty games, the Rockies are eight and
Speaker 2: forty two.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: To find a worst start, you need to go back
Speaker 2: to eighteen ninety five in a team called the Louisville Kernels,
Speaker 2: who started seven and forty three. Think about that for
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 1: They're focusing too much on their weed and their beer
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is awful. Eight eight and forty two. Our
Speaker 2: Florida teams, both Tampa Bay and Miami, were off yesterday.
Speaker 2: They begin weekend series tonight, the Rays hosting Toronto for
Speaker 2: a three game series, and the Marlins are on the
Speaker 2: road facing the Angels for a three game series tonight,
Speaker 2: Friday and Saturday. College football news, as expected, the twelve
Speaker 2: team college Football Playoff will move to a straight seeding
Speaker 2: structure starting this fall. This means that the selection committee's
Speaker 2: top four teams regardless of conference, will be seeded one
Speaker 2: through four and get a first round by whereas but four,
Speaker 2: it was the conference champions regardless of ranking, would get that,
Speaker 2: which just didn't sit well with a lot of folks.
Speaker 2: So that'll be the new structure. We'll see if that
Speaker 2: improves folks attitude and the team's situations as we go forward.
Speaker 2: You potentially think about this though, you could have several
Speaker 2: seeds with buys from the same conference, up to four
Speaker 2: of them. I know, I don't even say it, and
Speaker 2: then people will be bitching about that. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: certainly interesting. All right, huge weekend of motorsports. I guess
Speaker 2: we should begin. It's lights out at the F one
Speaker 2: desk live from Monaco. They're in Monte Carlo. This is
Speaker 2: the big one. It is the Monaco Grand Prix Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: nine o'clock, one of the most picturesque settings on the
Speaker 2: entire F one schedule. Taco bob our F one Insider,
Speaker 2: what are you calling for.
Speaker 1: Here, Monico? Well, yes, it is a beautiful speedway, beautiful people,
Speaker 1: everything is beautiful in Monaco road course. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. A verse strapping course back to
Speaker 1: back in with verst stap in.
Speaker 2: No no, no love for Charles Leclerc, the home country,
Speaker 2: hometown driver.
Speaker 1: You would think, but you know, sugar and gas tanks
Speaker 1: do not mix. Well, we're calling for stapping. Rare.
Speaker 2: Interesting they've this is one of the more boring races.
Speaker 2: Despite the scenic background, It's nearly impossible to pass on
Speaker 2: this road course. They have put in a rule where
Speaker 2: teams have to use three sets of tires, which means
Speaker 2: they will have to stop at least twice, whereas before
Speaker 2: that wasn't necessarily the case and it was more or
Speaker 2: less a procession through the streets of you know, Monty Carlow.
Speaker 2: So what do we have for NASCAR this weekend. Well,
Speaker 2: I'll get into that in a second. It's a triple header.
Speaker 2: Can you start with the International Series F one in
Speaker 2: Monaco with the Grand Prix. Then it's off to Indianapolis
Speaker 2: for the Indianapolis five hundred on Sunday. The you know,
Speaker 2: activities get started around noon, and we've got an interesting
Speaker 2: story unfolding there. Kyle Larson will try to pull the
Speaker 2: double again, racing in both the five hundred, and then
Speaker 2: on Sunday night get over to Charlotte for the Coca
Speaker 2: Cola six hundred.
Speaker 1: This is his year, uh doubt if he does it.
Speaker 2: If you recall last year, he arrived too late in
Speaker 2: Charlotte to you know, do the deal there. But we'll
Speaker 2: see how that goes. Big story at Indy the Penske
Speaker 2: Racing team, some serious rule violations. Roger Penske not happy.
Speaker 2: People have been fired, people have been suspended. Two of
Speaker 2: his three drivers are starting from the back of the field.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that all plays out from Speedway,
Speaker 2: Indiana on Sunday.
Speaker 1: All right, are we talking out a little Orlando City
Speaker 1: this morning?
Speaker 2: Then Coca Cola six hundred is Sunday night to cap
Speaker 2: off the whole weekend. So who's Orlando City got this weekend?
