Boomer said everyone is annoyed with the bad weather, but Gio showed up today dressed really well in bright white. The Yankees lost their first game, 7-0 to the Diamondbacks.

Indiana State will play Seton Hall in the NIT finals. Did Dan Orlovsky fart on the Pat McAfee show? In the final segment of the hour, a video emerged of Gary Cohen rolling his eyes after throwing it back to the studio during the rain delay. It’s funny, but somebody had to leak that out as it wasn’t on the actual broadcast. It had to be somebody at SNY or somebody at MLB that had the direct feed.
Dwight Gooden will be in studio today at 8am and he’s coming with former Mets PR guy Jay Horwitz. Boomer is not giving up on the Mets winning more than 81 games.

The people of Kansas City voted down a proposal to pay for renovations to the stadium. Is there any way the NFL would let the Chiefs move? Gio said there is no way they are moving the Chiefs.
