Hour 1

The Mets implosion is the story of the day. Reliever Jorge Lopez got tossed from the game, threw his glove into the stands, and then told Steve Gelbs he’s on the worst team in MLB. Boomer feels bad for Manager Carlos Mendoza, but Gio said it has to be partly his fault. Gio doesn’t feel bad for the manager, he feels bad for the people who sell Mets tickets for a living. Boomer said that Mendoza needed to put his foot down but doesn’t have the experience that a Brian Daboll does. Gio said Mendoza is another in a long line of guys that looks great until they get to the Mets. When you come to the Mets, ‘you become an idiot’. In addition to that fun, Edwin Diaz went on the IL and Pete Alonso got drilled in the hand with a pitch. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and has all the audio of the Mets implosion. First up, the Ohtani HR. The SNY booth describes what’s happening with Jorge Lopez. Carlos Mendoza reacts. Lopez said he didn’t regret it because he’s on the worst team in MLB. Edwin Diaz talked about his shoulder tightness. The Yankees beat the Angels as Luis Gil pitched 8 innings of 2 hit ball. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer is having problems with his earpiece

Hour 2

The Mets hit the pinnacle of disaster with yesterday’s performance against the Dodgers everything that was said after the game. At least we know where the Mets stand between now and the trade deadline, which is now 8 weeks away. Mets fans have to be desensitized to all of this now after all of these years. If you believe in David Stearns, he is now going to be in full control of blowing this up. This is probably going to be the best thing for Stearns. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from 2 years ago where Boomer & Gio are excited about Steve Cohen and the Mets. We heard from Howie Rose as the Mets lost to the Dodgers. After the game, reliever Jorge Lopez said he did not regret his actions because he’s on the worst team in MLB. Francisco Lindor called a team meeting after the game. The Yankees beat the Angels as Alex Verdugo hit a HR. There was also an infield fly/interference double play on the Yankees which Aaron Boone called ‘wonky’. He was tossed for arguing. Jerry has audio of Sal telling a caller to ‘kiss my ass’. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about LPGA golfer Charley Hull and how she was photographed smoking a cigarette. Boomer invited Al to tonight’s Rangers game but that is completely out of Al’s comfort zone. 

Hour 3

Boomer really wants to take Al to the Rangers game tonight but he has no interest in going. Boomer expects tonight’s game to be super intense. We took a lot of calls from Rangers fans that wanted to change up the lines and the power play. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the disaster that is the Mets. We heard from Howie Rose as reliever Jorge Lopez tossed his glove into the stands. Boomer found out that Lopez’s son is waiting for an organ transplant so he understands what he might be going through. Luis Gil threw 8 innings of 1-run ball as the Yankees beat the Angels. Quinnen Williams just found out that this is Aaron Rodgers’ 20th season in the NFL. UFC fighter Sean Strickland went all in on Tom Brady for the way he behaved at the roast. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer got a tumbler with a bluetooth speaker in it. A caller coming up for Darryl Strawberry’s jersey retirement went through a litany of Mets disasters over the years. 

Hour 4

Boomer said Matthew Tkachuk called out Chris Kreider and now he needs to respond tonight. Gio said the first goal scored tonight will be huge to set the tone. We also talked about the Mets and Gio said David Stearns is going to give this team a colon cleanse. Everyone will be gone. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the disastrous day the Mets had yesterday and the Yankees win in L.A. over the Angels. Jamal Crawford compared Inside the NBA to the Golden Girls. The Moment of The Day involves Al complaining about Rangers talk and 7-game series. In the final segment of the show, a man in Michigan Zoomed into his court hearing for a suspended license. The problem is, he was driving while Zooming and he doesn’t have a license. Boomer is doing a cleanse right now so he can’t even enjoy any good food and drink for tonight’s Rangers game. Boomer said Kreider will very much be in the mix tonight.

His complaints about non-stop Rangers talk and 7-game series.

Boomer said Matthew Tkachuk called out Chris Kreider and now he needs to respond tonight. Gio said the first goal scored tonight will be huge to set the tone.

Not only is Al not interested, he might be less than interested.
