Mike Francesa voice first… slow burn, disbelief building…
I mean… lemme just say this right now…

I have been watching baseball my entire life… and I have never—and I mean NEVER—seen anything like this game.

Thirty-seven to twenty-eight?!

Thirty-seven to twenty-eight, Chris!!

This isn’t a World Series game… this is a football score with a typo!

Mike Francesa:
The New York Yankees scored 37 runs… THIRTY-SEVEN… in a World Series game. You realize how insane that is? And the crazy part? The Chicago Cubs scored TWENTY-EIGHT!
This game had 65 runs!

You had guys hitting three homers… on BOTH sides… and it didn’t even feel like enough!

Chris Russo (losing his mind):
MIKE!!! MIKE!!! WHAT ARE WE DOIN’ HERE?! WHAT IS THIS?!
THIS IS THE WORLD SERIES OR A VIDEO GAME?!

You got Zuby Ejiofor—SIX HITS! THREE HOMERS! THREE TRIPLES!!!

THREE TRIPLES, MIKE!!! WHO HITS THREE TRIPLES IN A GAME?!?!

AND HE DROVE IN SEVEN RUNS!!! SEVEN!!!

Mike (cutting in):
Chris… Chris… he had 21 total bases. Twenty-one! That’s not a stat line—that’s a season total for some guys!
Mad Dog (talking over him):
AND IRVING ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! DON’T FORGET HIM!!! THREE HOMERS, FIVE HITS, SIXTEEN TOTAL BASES!!
AND THEY LOST!!!

HOW DO YOU HIT LIKE THAT AND LOSE BY NINE RUNS?!

Mike:
Because the Yankees lineup is a joke—in the sense that it’s unfair.
Cavazos? Six runs.
Thomas? Six runs.
Ejiofor? Six runs.

Everybody scores six runs! What is this, a charity event?!

Dog:
AND THE PITCHING—MIKE—THE PITCHING!!!
There IS no pitching!! It’s gone! It left the building in the FIRST INNING!!

Mike:
This game was over before it started. Diaz gives up bombs immediately—Cavazos, Ejiofor, Martinez—and you knew right there…
This was gonna be a long afternoon.

Dog (dramatic):
Five hours, Mike! FIVE HOURS!
Fans showed up for a baseball game… they got a DOUBLEHEADER worth of runs in ONE GAME!!

Mike (resetting the series):
But here’s the bottom line…
The Yankees do what great teams do—they respond.

They get embarrassed in Game 1, they come back in Game 2, and they absolutely blow the doors off.

Series tied, 1–1. Now it shifts to Chicago.

Dog:
And how do the Cubs recover from THIS?! You score 28 runs and LOSE?!
That’s demoralizing, Mike! That sticks with ya!

Mike (calm, ominous):
Or… it tells you something else.
These two lineups?

Nobody is safe.

Nobody.

Dog (yelling to close):
FIRST TEAM TO 50 RUNS IN A GAME WINS GAME 3!!! BOOK IT!!!
And somewhere… every pitcher in this series is hiding.
