He is optimistic about the team’s chances of at least playing meaningful games in December.

The Mets beat the Phillies in a great game last night. Juan Soto was granted a timeout by a young home plate umpire and the Phillies weren’t happy about it. Willie is more impressed by Francisco Lindor every time he watches him. Maybe the parabolic mics will be this season’s rallying cry and this series will be what turned the Mets around.

Brendan Tierney is joined by actor and die-hard Yankees fan Nick Turturro, who vents his frustration over the team's ongoing struggles. Turturro, a lifelong fan who remembers the team's lean years, feels the current organization has lost its winning mentality and has become a "Disneyland" where on-field performance is secondary to business and fan consumption. He and BT agree that the team lacks "dogs" and a sense of accountability, and he wishes players and coaches would show more rage and frustration over their poor play.

BT believes that Mark Vientos is the missing spark the Mets have needed all season. He notes that while other stars like Juan Soto and Pete Alonso are consistent performers, Vientos brings a different, more infectious energy to the dugout. BT argues that Vientos's fiery play and undeniable swagger are what the team feeds off of, and his recent hot streak is no coincidence. This emotional and energetic jolt, coupled with his clutch hitting in last year's postseason, gives the Mets a real chance to turn a corner and make some noise this season.

The Mets bounced back despite another poor Kodai Senga start. He is the new human rain delay. The Mets scored a lot of runs with two outs last night. Mark Vientos is red hot and looking like the player he was last season. Willie says it’s time for the Mets to start stacking wins and the guys agree that Sean Manaea needs to get going beginning with his start tonight.

Cam Schlittler looks great again as he shuts down the Nationals, the offense does what they do against bad pitching and put up 10. Meanwhile, Kodai Senga gives up 3 runs in 4+ innings, the Mets offense then went on to score 13 unanswered runs to crush the Phillies. All in all, that's a lot of runs in New York!

Evan and Shaun kick off the show by debating if the Yankees handling of Anthony Volpe is enough to wake up the young shortstop.

BT and former Jets great Nick Mangold agreed on the major issue plaguing the team: a fundamental lack of leadership and accountability. Mangold explained that the constant player turnover and absence of long-tenured veterans has prevented the team from building a winning culture. He praised new coach Aaron Glenn for emphasizing that the players themselves must drive the team's success, a stark contrast to previous regimes. BT echoed the sentiment, highlighting the team's chronic penalty problem as a clear symptom of their lack of attention to detail and discipline.

BT ripped into the Yankees for their abysmal series against the Boston Red Sox, arguing that the team has no heart, grit, or toughness. He proclaimed that the days of opponents fearing the Yankees are long gone, replaced by a "Bronx Country Club" mentality. BT expressed his frustration with the team's reliance on home runs and their overall lack of competitive spirit, pointing out that players show no outward emotion or frustration after losses. He concluded by saying the Yankees have become a predictable, uninspired, and lifeless team that has drained him of his passion.

Jerry Recco and Willie Colon fill in for Boomer and Gio. The Yankees salvaged their last game against the Red Sox but need more from Aaron Judge and better performance against strong pitchers. The Red Sox excel at manufacturing runs, unlike the Yankees' reliance on home runs. They agreed Anthony Volpe's break is a good decision, despite his terrible throw in Saturday's ugly game, which Willie felt was a "tap out."

A Funeral for the Mets It's a funeral, my friends. That's what it is. A complete and utter disgrace. This franchise, from the owner to the players, is rotten to its core. This team is a pathetic excuse for a baseball team, a dumpster fire that's burning bright for all of New York to see. After losing 14 out of 16 games, there is no sugarcoating it anymore. The Mets are an embarrassment, and the worst team money can buy.

Joe Benigno's scorching takedown of the Mets wasn't just a critique; it was a furious, caffeine-fueled sermon delivered to the masses. With the passion of a true New York fan, he lit into every aspect of the team's woes, from a disgraceful bullpen filled with "stiffs" to the "delirious" managerial decisions. He saved his most venomous barbs for "Boy Genius" David Stearns, blaming the front office for the team's abysmal state and an inability to acquire a competent starting pitcher at the trade deadline. Benigno’s rant was a raw, unfiltered cry of disgust, perfectly capturing the agony of a fan watching his team self-destruct.
