Seattle Fans HUMILIATED After ALCS Collapse! | The Craig Carton Show

[Music] Welcome, welcome, welcome to another edition of the Craig Carton Show. Tyrone A. Johnson here as always. Great night of sports last night. Let me just start you off right quick with uh the unfortunate, unlucky Seattle Mariners and those loser fans out there in Seattle. It’s funny. I checked top to bottom on all my social media accounts over the last 12 hours and it’s always as if the power went out. You know, the other day AWS went down and you couldn’t shop on Amazon for a couple hours and the internet was going a little uh honky, right? Well, in Seattle, the internet must be down cuz I haven’t seen a single post from anybody in Seattle as the Mariners yet again because it’s what they do best have not made it to a World Series. only team of all the franchises that have ever played in Major League Baseball that have never made it to a World Series. Forget about winning one. They’ve never gotten there. And the craziest thing about it before the George Springer threerun bomb last night. That’s right. That gives the Blue Jays the lead in game seven. And then that bullpen took over when I think it was four consecutive innings and didn’t give up a hit sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth. And they closed out the ALCS. I want to show you some video of uh this is the George Springer home run right here. Bang. Deep to left field. She’s got legs. Gone. Woohoo. On one leg. You did that on one leg. On one leg. You have to be drilled in the kneecap, right? Uh but but here’s the By the way, how what would your home run call be like? Two men on. Down two. Spring her up. Go. Deep to left. No. Deep to left. No. That’s what I would do. Deep to left. Deep to left. That’s where it went. Give me some feeling, Tyrone. Put some deep left. No, no, no. Deep to left. No, you got to let it breathe. Deep to left. After it goes out. Going. Going. Oh my god. It’s going. And that’s how I would do it. Oh my lord. That’s better than yours. Not everyone was made to be a play-by-play guy. Quite right. You’re a good talk show host. Not a good playby-play guy. But here’s what’s crazy. I’ve heard you do play by play. Folks in Seattle got so cocky and arrogant uh after uh taking care of game five. Yeah. They had two shots to win one game to make it to their first ever World Series and I’m getting hammered on online and people taking their shots and call me all these bad names and you don’t know anything about baseball and you’re just you know Yankee possessed and you know baseball exists. You’re west of the Mississippi. Why do you pay attention every once in a while? You know Cal Raleigh the big dumper is going to dominate. He did hit another home run four in the series. Uh so he wasn’t the problem here at all. But I sat back and I reflected a moment on my life and I reflected on my takes uh in the sports world over the last couple months since we started this show the first week of September. And I’m happy to say I’ve got nothing wrong. Every single opinion I’ve had, every take I’ve had has proven to be accurate. The Seattle Mariners are a joke. It’s a joke of a franchise. While it’s a very pretty city right there on the water, it’s great. They’re a joke as far as people go. Their fandom is crazy to me. They’re walking around town holding these what are they called? Serpents. What are these things? Trident. The three the three forkid thing. Like imagine being a grown man walking around town holding a trident cuz you’re going to see a baseball game for a franchise that’s never made it to a World Series. Okay. Yeah. So, I want to show you how crazy it got. Apparently, after the fifth inning last night, so before the home run by George Springer, which gives Toronto the lead that they never relinquished, as they get back to the World Series for the first time in 32 years, that was the 93 World Series against your Philadelphia Phillies, Joe Carter, Mitch Williams. We know how it went. I want to show you this is uh this is exclusive video from inside the Mariners clubhouse when they were four innings away eight outs away. So I guess less than four four innings away but they were eight outs away from making it to their first World Series ever. I want to show you how cocky they were. Show the video guys. Look at this. That’s inside the Mariners clubhouse. What? They’re wearing shirts you see right there that say 8 oz away. Yeah. With the Trident. Yeah. The Mariners were already celebrating like they had made it with a one-run lead with three and two/3 to go in Toronto against the Blue Jays. That’s crazy right there. And the Sports Gods came back and bit him. So we now have a World Series that starts this weekend. It’s the Dodgers against the Blue Jays. And the question now becomes, you know, we want to have some rooting interest. If you’re a gambler, obviously, wherever your money is, that’s your rooting interest. But, you know, as a Yankee fan, as a New Yorker, this is a tough one. Now, I grew up a Mets fan. I became a fake Yankee fan later in life in 2009 when the Yankees played the Phillies in the World Series and took care of business and won their last World Series championship. But I I don’t gamble and it’s the World Series. I want to watch it. I want to have a reason to watch it. I don’t want to see the Dodgers win because that’s back-to-back World Series. Now, we’re talking the beginning of a dynasty for a team that’s got as much money as anybody and will probably attract more top level free agents this year. We saw what Otani obviously did uh in their closeout game with the three home runs, the 10 strikeouts, etc. But they’re about to win, possibly will win back-to-back World Series. As a New Yorker, I got to remember, you know, my my heritage, you know, the Dodgers screwed New York. The Dodgers were in Brooklyn and they decided we’re going out to California. So screw them. I can’t root for the Dodgers. All due respect to the legacy of Jackie Robinson, but I can’t root for the Dodgers as a New Yorker. You could. They were getting forced to Queens. They didn’t want to go to Queens. They didn’t want to go to Queens. No selfres. Nobody goes to Queens. No selfrespecting New Yorker can root for the Dodgers today. If you told me it’s 1958, I get it. I understand. You know, even though you were heartbroken over it, the the allure of Jackie Robinson for a lot of people made a lot of New Yorkers Dodgers fans. And I get it. And they won. If you’re Jewish, I understand the connection to Sandy Kofax. Absolutely. I get it. But not in 2025. There’s no self-respecting New Yorker that could be a fan of the LA Dodgers and want to see the Dodgers start what is going to be a mini dynasty, if not a legit dynasty, right? Yeah. But then the flip side is we’re Americans, man. We can’t be rooting for a Canadian team to win a championship in our sport. Even if none of the dudes are Canadian, we can’t root for a Canadian team. And if you’re a Yankee fan, man, you can’t root for the Toronto Blue Jays. They’re in your division and you were tied for the best record with them and they’re the franchise that knocked you out. If you’re a Mets fan, I remember about five years ago thereabouts when Met fans were going goooo gaga over the prospect of the Mets signing George Springer. Mets fans wanted George Springer in the worst way a few years back. And now George Springer’s the guy that hits the home run that gets the Blue Jays into the World Series. So for the first time ever, again, unless you’re wagering on it and you follow your money, and I get that. I respect that. I don’t support it, but I get it and I respect it. We’re kind of alone without a team. Like, if you’re a New Yorker, you cannot root for the Toronto Blue Jays. If you’re a New Yorker, you cannot root for the LA Dodgers. And yet, it is the World Series. We want to watch it. Not everybody gamles. So, I got to pick a team. I have until Friday on this show to do it. You do? So, I’m not gonna pick that team today. Maybe we’ll put a poll up. Oh, there you go. Who should we root for? Like where should we put our support behind? Because I have a reason not to root for either team. I’m trying to find a good reason to root for one of these damn teams. And I don’t know if I have it. So by the end of the week, the guys put a poll up and let’s see if we can have the the people decide and I’ll make a pledge. That’s fair. If we put the poll up when we get to Friday and we’re halfway through Friday’s show, whatever the results of the poll are, that is the team that I will support. Not that it means much, but you got to pick a team. You got to root for somebody. You got to root for somebody in championship games, right? You have to. Yeah. So, I don’t I just don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know which team. It’s like normally there’s a team that if you don’t like them, at least there’s something about the other team you can’t stand. Yeah. It’s like your wife’s girlfriends, right? Like she’s like, “Honey, I’m having my girlfriends over to the house for barbecue.” Yeah. And you’re like, “I don’t mind Sally. She’s nice. And Julie’s sweet, too. And Marissa’s a nice girl, but I I can’t have Miranda over. You don’t like her? Cuz I don’t like her. And she’s got a weird name. Mind. I don’t like that. Just to start with that. Who the hell is a Miranda? So, for the people in Seattle, shame on you for celebrating with 8 oz to go. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. Uh, and congratulations to the Blue Jays. That was a crazy awesome game seven. Nothing better than game seven. a one-run game, meaning literally for four innings, every single pitch meant a possibility of a tie game. Yep. And when you get to moments like that in the postseason, it is awesome. Congrats to the Dodgers. Congrats to the Blue Jays. We have ourselves a World Series. And knock on wood, fingers crossed, we get another game seven. Coming up, CJ Strat has just become Justin Fields in front of our very eyes. There’s a problem in Houston after this. [Music]
