For the first time since 1994, the Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders and Devils are all in the playoffs. DeMar DeRozan’s 9 year old daughter was screaming every time the Raptors took a free throw and it clearly affected them. Boomer doesn’t want Julius Randle playing against the Cavs unless he’s 100%. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with audio from the Islanders beating Montreal 4-2, putting them into the playoffs. The Mets beat the Padres and got HRs by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. The Mets head to the west coast and will play the A’s tomorrow. The Yankees won in Cleveland again and Franchy Cordero hit another HR. Boomer thinks he’s a good ‘scrap heap guy’. He wonders if the Mets have had a great ‘scrap heap guy’ in the past. The Tampa Rays won their 12th straight game yesterday. Kyle Farmer of the Twins got hit in the face with a pitch and needed his teeth realigned. Coach Thibs gives us a brief update on Julius Randle. In the final segment of the hour, we have audio of DeMar DeRozan’s daughter screaming as the Raptors came to the free throw line. And it appears the Islanders now have two mascots: the dragon and the fisherman. Gio finds Sparky the Dragon to be distracting and doesn’t think it makes any sense.
Aaron Boone got tossed from the game in Cleveland yesterday because of a replay challenge review. They did get the call right, but there is a time limit for how long a team has to challenge and that’s what pissed Boone off. The Yankees won so it’s not a big deal, but the rules are the rules and should be enforced. We also talked about the Islanders making the playoffs and wondering if Boomer will show up for a game. He will not. Brandon Tierney texted Gio about the upcoming bike tour and he’s concerned about his ‘balls’. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer told us there was a naked man in front of the building today at 5am. The Yankees won in Cleveland and an umpire took a relay throw to the side of the head. Brandon Nimmo had himself a great day as the Mets beat the Padres. Edwin Diaz talked about potentially returning this season. He also said he would play in the WBC again if he has the chance. Immanuel Quickley cannot wait to get going against Cleveland on Saturday. DeMar DeRozan talked about his daughter screaming during the Raptors’ free throws. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Jets most likely to get the maximum amount of prime time games.
Saquon Barkley will not be at voluntary workouts for the Giants because he doesn’t have a long term deal. Gio wonders how far Saquon is willing to take this. Boomer said he loves Barkley but he unfortunately plays a position that is not really valued by NFL teams. There’s also still a debate as to which QB will go #1 in the draft. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio tells us he hung out with Jerry and his business partner after the live show in Jersey City. The Mets beat the Padres and Pete Alonso had a HR. Edwin Diaz talked about potentially coming back this season. The Yankees beat the Guardians and Aaron Boone was tossed for arguing the way a call was reviewed. The Islanders clinched a playoff spot with their win last night. Immanuel Quickley is excited to start the series in Cleveland on Saturday. Jerry has isolated audio of DeMar DeRozan’s daughter screaming while the Raptors were shooting free throws. In the final segment of the hour, Gio told us so many people reached out to help him with the logistics of getting from Long Island to MetLife for the Morgan Wallen Show.
The Twins and Angels are coming into town to face the Yankees and those two teams stink. Gio said it’s ‘beef up time’ for the Yankees. Gio can’t wait to stuff his face in the Legends seats at a Yankees game. A caller wants to know if draft beer is back at Yankee Stadium. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about an upcoming flag football game we are playing in. The Mets beat the Padres and now they head to the west coast. Pete Alonso thinks the Mets can really get going now. Franchy Cordero hit another HR for the Yanks as they beat Cleveland. Aaron Boone got tossed because he didn’t like the way they reviewed a play in the game. The Islanders beat Montreal and get themselves into the playoffs. The Nets will play the 76’ers this week in the NBA playoffs. In the final segment of the show, we talked about MLB teams extending beer sales into the eighth inning because games are getting over quicker. But extending beer sales into later in the game, that leaves less time for people to sober up before driving home.
