Mike (Francesa):
Dog, this was an absolute rout. Yankees 13, Indians 3. And listen — Jose Castillo, three hits, a homer, three runs driven in — he was the star. But up and down the Yankee lineup, everybody hit. Fourteen hits, thirteen runs, they destroyed Cleveland’s pitching staff.
Mad Dog:
OHHHHH MIKEY, THIS SERIES IS OVAH if Cleveland don’t wake up! Two games to NONE, the Yankees goin’ back home, AND THEY JUST POUNDED the two-time defending champs! Castillo, Moser, Pirelli, everybody hittin’ the ball ALL over Jacobs Field! Cleveland looked DEAD, Mikey, DEAD!
Mike:
Well, let’s be fair. The Indians are still the defending champs, they’re still loaded, but right now they’re in trouble. Their pitching’s been atrocious. Jun-seo Kim got shelled, bullpen was no better. You can’t give up thirteen runs in October and expect to win.
Harry Doyle (deadpan, sarcastic):
Well folks, in case you didn’t notice, Cleveland didn’t quite get it done today. Yankees win 13-3. That’s a touchdown and two field goals, in case you’re scoring at home. Or even if you’re alone.
Mad Dog (laughing):
HAHAHA! HARRY’S RIGHT! That looked like a football score, Mikey! New York Giants woulda been proud of that one!
Mike:
Dog, the thing is — this is not what we expected. Cleveland was the favorite, two-time champs, home-field, all of it. But the Yankees came in here, they win Game 1 in a thriller, and then they just bury Cleveland in Game 2.
Harry Doyle:
Cleveland fans, don’t panic. Just remember, last time I checked, this is a best-of-seven. Indians just gotta win four before the Yankees do. Piece of cake, right? …Right?
Mad Dog:
NOT A CHANCE, HARRY! THIS IS THE YANKEES’ SERIES RIGHT NOW, MIKEY!
Mike:
Yankees in control, heading back to the Bronx. Game 3’s gonna be massive.
