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.

Compass Media Networks and former NFL linebacker Chad Brown calls in to preview both the upcoming college football and NFL seasons. They discuss what to expect from Bill Belichick’s first season at UNC and Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. Chad does not have a lot of confidence in Russell Wilson’s ability to have a strong season for the Giants. He says Wilson “no longer has it as an NFL QB”.

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.

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!

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.

BT put the blame squarely on Mets manager Carlos Mendoza for the team's latest loss, calling out his "scared" and "gutless" managing. The critical error, according to BT, was pulling a well-pitching Kodai Senga with 93 pitches, a move that BT believes was a clear sign of a manager lacking trust and conviction. This decision, combined with Mendoza's repetitive and uninspiring postgame interviews, is symptomatic of a larger issue within the team's coaching staff, which is failing to properly lead a talented but underperforming roster.

If the Mets miss the playoffs it will be one of the most disappointing seasons, and maybe the most disappointing, in their history.

In a conversation about Pete Alonso breaking his all-time Mets home run record, Darryl Strawberry showed his championship pedigree, focusing not on the individual accomplishment but on the importance of winning. Strawberry insisted that while records are nice, they are ultimately hollow without championships. He passionately recalled the "hate to lose" mentality of the 1986 Mets and urged the current team to adopt that same fierce, competitive spirit to deliver a winner for the long-suffering fan base. While classy and appreciative of Alonso, Strawberry's message was clear: individual accolades are secondary to team success and bringing a championship back to Queens.

BT and Sal tore into the Mets for what they deemed an "unacceptable" and "disgraceful" loss, a stunning collapse that saw the team blow a six-run lead to the Atlanta Braves. The hosts expressed outrage that the Mets' pitching staff, led by All-Star David Peterson, could not hold a significant lead, a recurring issue that has plagued the team for months. They criticized the organization for its inability to fix the pitching problem and questioned whether the Mets have what it takes to be a serious contender, arguing that the constant breakdowns are a sign of a team with a low ceiling and a frighteningly low floor.

Gio and Jerry are back from California and they want to discuss the trip but have to start with last night’s Mets debacle. They both woke up and couldn’t believe the Mets blew a 6-0 lead. They are surprised and disappointed that David Peterson fell apart in the 4th inning. The Mets are drawing big crowds and playing poorly. The pitching staff has been among the worst in baseball lately. Neither of them can believe how far the Mets have fallen the last two months. Gio doesn’t believe they will go on a run and wonders where it ends with the pitching staff. The Mets need a good start from Kodai Senga tonight but Jerry isn’t counting on it.

BT and Sal, still hot after ripping into a recent Mets' broadcast call for being "corny" and "pre-meditated," brought on the legendary John Sterling to discuss his most historic home run calls. The fiery duo celebrated Sterling's ability to capture the moment with unscripted passion and unique flair, a stark contrast to the broadcast calls they had just criticized. Sterling's appearance turned into a masterclass on the art of broadcasting, with the iconic voice of the Yankees sharing the stories behind his most memorable and spontaneous home run calls.

After Pete Alonso officially became the Mets' all-time home run leader, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate about his future with the team. Sal believes that this historic moment, combined with Alonso's strong performance, makes it impossible for Steve Cohen to let him walk in free agency. BT, however, argued that it's a sentimental take that ignores the business side of baseball, citing Alonso's age and the team's past hesitation to sign him long-term. Both hosts agreed that the fans would revolt if the Mets let their homegrown home run king leave, but they couldn't agree on whether the team's front office will prioritize this emotional connection over cold, hard business logic.

BT and Sal are refusing to get excited about the Yankees' latest win, arguing it's just another instance of "bully ball" that gives a false sense of hope. They dismiss the victory against a struggling Twins pitcher as a meaningless, temporary fix that doesn't address the team's fundamental problems. The co-hosts insist that this win, built on home runs and against weak competition, is a distraction from the larger issues of a flawed roster, poor baserunning, inconsistent pitching, and a broken organizational culture that has persisted for years.

The Yankees got back on track last night. C-Mac says it’s nice to win but other than Will Warren, there’s nothing to really make anyone feel more confident in the Yankees. C-Mac is annoyed that every team has to be compared to teams of the past that have no connection other than wearing the same uniform. C-Mac says there’s too much focus on comparing teams to past champions when the focus should instead be on current competition.

Francesa, never one to mince words, offered his characteristically fiery takes on New York sports, including his blunt assessment of the Yankees' roster and the Jets' new coaching staff, while also giving a rare glimpse into his personal life and a good-natured jab at Sal's on-air style.
