Max Scherzer was scratched yesterday with neck spasms and then the Mets went out and lost again, this time to the Reds. The Mets did dodge a bullet not getting Carlos Correa who is currently being booed in Minnesota. The Mets starting pitchers are taking up over $114 million dollars and not pitching. Boomer said this all started with the injury to Edwin Diaz at the World Baseball Classic. Where will the Mets be at the trade deadline and will they be buyers or sellers? Right now they are looking like sellers. It’s not even where the Mets are in the standings. It’s who they’re losing to which is discouraging. This is a sign the Knicks are going to lose tonight. Boomer thinks they will win tonight as they will be highly motivated.

Hour 1:

The Knicks lost to the Heat and are now down 3-1 and Gio doesn’t see them coming back from that. He said Miami has made fools of the Knicks and is kicking their ass in every game they’ve won. Boomer said this game was over in the second quarter when it was evident the Knicks had no bench. It has been effortless for the Heat on offense and the complete opposite for the Knicks. Gio is a deflated Knicks fan and thinks they will lose in five now. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds from last night’s Knicks loss in Miami. We heard play by play from Ian Eagle. Julius Randle said of the Heat, ‘maybe they wanted it more’. Gio said the Knicks have only played 6 good minutes this entire series. The Lakers beat the Warriors to go up 3-1 in the series. The Yankees beat the A’s and Aaron Hicks finally hit his first HR of the season. Wayne Randazzo has play by play of a couple eating cotton candy. In the final segment of the hour, it seems like the same story with the Knicks this series. A caller said the Knicks will win a championship when they get rid of Randle, Thibs and Dolan. Gio said you can tell on the faces of the Heat players and coaches that they are convinced the Knicks can’t beat them. 

Hour 2:

The Knicks don’t feel any closer to winning a championship. A lot of things would have to happen for the Knicks to come back in this series. Boomer said it’s not over yet but Gio said they can’t beat the Heat in 3 straight. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from last night’s Knicks loss to the Heat. Erik Spoelstra said they got a lot of clean looks. The Lakers beat the Warriors and they lead that series 3-1. The Yankees beat the A’s with HRs including one by Gleyber Torres. Aaron Hicks even hit one, his first of the year. Aaron Boone talked about Nestor Cortes. Bob Huggins gave an odd interview in Cincinnati where he referenced rubber penises and then used an anti gay slur, twice. In the final segment of the hour, Max Scherzer pitches again tonight and has quotes out there where he’s talking about playing with an injury, which is concerning. It’s been nothing but drama with Scherzer and the Mets since last September. He seems to be laying out the groundwork to land on the IL. 

Hour 3:

We talked about Max Scherzer playing through an injury and it got us thinking about the Mets starting pitching and where it ranks against other teams in terms of innings pitched by starters. NY sports has really gone down the toilet. A caller said the Knicks have no leader. Boomer said Julius Randle has too many mood swings during a game to be the leader. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks losing in Miami with Ian Eagle on the call. Boomer wants to shake RJ Barrett and say, ‘come on, let’s go!’ The Lakers beat the Warriors again and are up 3-1 in that series. The Yankees hit four HRs to beat the A’s at the stadium. Aaron Boone talked about the great resolve Aaron Hicks has shown. He hit one of the four HRs yesterday. Evan Roberts implied the Tampa Rays are cheating when playing at home. In the final segment of the hour, Gary Sanchez just signed a minor league contract with the Mets. Boomer had a problem pronouncing a name in a sports minute. 

Hour 4:

Gio doesn’t know how you can be a reasonable Knicks fan and think they can win 3 straight from the Heat. Boomer said the Knicks owe the Heat a beatdown. Gio said he has brown water in his house right now. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from last night’s Knicks loss to the Heat with play by play from Ian Eagle. The Lakers beat the Warriors and now have a 3-1 lead in the series. The Yankees beat the A’s and even Aaron Hicks had a HR, his first of the season. In the final segment of the show, Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis had another child, this time a boy. Max Scherzer will start tonight and Gio needs to see ‘borderline greatness’ tonight. He is pretty much saying he’s playing injured right now. Aaron Judge will also be in the lineup tonight for the Yankees. Boomer is going to root for the Nuggets once the Knicks get eliminated.

A few weeks ago it was all winners in NY sports…no more.

Boomer & Gio prepare the fans for Scherzer being on the I.L. They also discuss what's up with the Mets pitchers.
