We started the hour with the start of the Giants schedule. Gio said they have to go 2-2 to start the season at the very least. They have to score points and Russell Wilson has to throw TDs. They have to beat either Dallas or Washington to start the season. Boomer thinks both their defense and offensive lines will be better and Russ doesn’t turn the ball over very often.

We talked about Arch Manning’s performance this past weekend and Boomer doesn’t want people to overreact. And Bill Belichick’s debut with North Carolina did not go as planned.

Juan Soto keeps on hitting and driving in runs and the Mets pitching keeps throwing it away, Monday afternoon alone, Soto drove in 6 runs. One a grandslam to give the Mets a 6-3 lead, and finally a 2 run triple to retake the lead and make it 8-6 after the pen coughed it up.

Marc Malusis and Jon Morosi delve into the storied career of Wade Boggs, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his journey from the Red Sox to the Yankees and his eventual enshrinement in Cooperstown. The conversation then shifts to the current state of New York baseball, with Morosi praising the Mets' recent performance and expressing his belief that they are a "dangerous" team heading into the postseason. He contrasts their potential with the Yankees' inconsistent play, noting the wide-open nature of the current MLB landscape and the unpredictability of this year's playoff race for both teams.

Marc Malusis was absolutely floored by the Dallas Cowboys' decision to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Calling it a "moronic" and "befuddling" move, he argued that Jerry Jones has actively made the Cowboys a worse team for the sake of future draft picks. Malusis believes this self-inflicted wound is a prime example of the Cowboys' repeated blunders, and it gives a massive advantage to the rest of the NFC, especially the Giants, who no longer have to game plan for a generational talent in their own division.

In his fiery monologue, Marc Malusis contrasted the New York Mets and Yankees, arguing that the Mets have developed a "fear factor" with the emergence of young star pitcher Nolan McLean and a resurgent lineup. Meanwhile, he claimed the Yankees are merely "bully teams," padding their stats against inferior opponents. Malusis expressed his frustration that despite a recent winning streak, the Yankees have shown nothing to suggest they can compete with elite teams, while the Mets are becoming a genuine threat to contend in the National League.

They discuss what to expect from Bill Belichick’s first season at UNC and Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh.

Jerry says the Mets could have something real in Nolan McLean. Jerry and Willie both rave about how good and exciting McLean was in his start last night as he shutout the Phillies for 8 innings in the Mets win. They swept the Phillies. It feels like the Mets are starting to click. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
