The Mets lost again to drop to 0-4 and the Yankees won again. Boomer said if this keeps up with the Mets, Pete Alonso will be traded. Boomer said the Mets don’t have anybody even close to a captain on the team. We can lose with you or without you, so we don’t need to pay you $40 million a year. Gio thinks Francisco Lindor is a leader in the clubhouse. Boomer also was watching Caitlin Clark win again last night. He said she reminds him of Larry Bird. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the Yankees winning their fifth straight to start the season. Anthony Volpe was 4-for-4. The Mets were shutout 5-0 in ten innings. Ronel Blanco of the Astros threw a no hitter in only his 8th career start. Caitlin Clark scored 41 as Iowa beat LSU to head to the Final 4. Angel Reese was very emotional in the postgame. Larry David was on with Bill Simmons and said he’s a huge Rangers fan and watches regular season games as well. In the final segment of the hour, Gio’s friends sent him various things that ended up being April fools jokes. Boomer is going on a Frank The Tank walk next week and thinks it’s going to be rough if the Mets keep losing.
There has been no more talk on who is taking over for Spike Eskin as Program Director at WFAN. Gio said an Amazon delivery driver stole a bunch of eggs containing candy on his friend’s lawn. It was set up for his kids’ Easter egg hunt the next morning. Boomer needs Gio to get his ear back to the ground on what is going on with the Program Director search. Gio does have draft scuttlebutt when it comes to quarterbacks. We talked about a lot of QBs over the months but very little about Drake Maye. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Yankees winning again in Arizona to improve to 5-0. The Mets lost their fourth straight to start the season, this time 5-0 in 10 innings to the Tigers. Ronel Blanco of the Astros threw a no hitter in only his 8th career start.Caitlin Clark scored 41 as Iowa beat LSU to head to the Final 4. Kim Mulkey shared her message with Clark at the end of the game. Jerry has a tease for next hour: Sal Licata yelling about Evan Roberts missing a show to go to Mets opening day. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Rashee Rice situation where it looks like he was involved in a street car race that caused a six car accident. He also left the scene of the accident. Vontae Davis passed away at the age of 35 with no known cause right now.
The Mets started the season 0-4. If they keep this up, Steve Cohen is going to have to blow this whole team up. Gio said the worst thing for the team would be for it to hover around .500 the entire season. We took a lot of calls about Sal after he went after Evan for taking a day off and going to the Mets game. People get mad at how Evan dresses, but Gio said if that’s authentic to him, then that’s how he should dress. Gio said Evan looks worse now because he’s working with a chiseled, well dressed ex-athlete in Tiki Barber. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio of Sal going all in on Evan taking a day off of work to go to a Mets game. He also went all in on producer Pete Hoffman and Brandon. In the final segment of the hour, Evan Roberts will join us in studio next segment and Gio said you can see his neck hair today. Evan picked the 81 most memorable games that he scored. He has scored thousands of games and has all of them.
Noted author and WFAN host Evan Roberts joins us to talk about his book, ‘My Mets Bible’, which is out today. Evan said this book was Craig Carton’s idea. We talked about Sal going after him on air yesterday. He admitted to being childlike, especially when it comes to sports. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first Boomer said you cannot have a ball retriever in your golf bag. Jerry starts with the Yankees winning 5-2 as Anthony Volpe had a great night. Ronel Blanco of the Astros threw a no hitter in only his 8th career start.The Moment of The Day involves callers attacking Evan Roberts. Oh, and then Boomer had a biting insult. In the final segment of the show, Gio has a mother-in-law story involving her looking for the phone she was actually on.
