Mike and the Mad Dog

In Game 2 of the 2006 World Series, Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers was caught on camera with a foreign substance on his pitching hand. The next day, Oct. 23, Mike and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo discussed the potential ramifications, including how Major League Baseball should deal with similar situations.

In this "Mike and the Mad Dog" clip from April 1, 2005, Anthony in Queens asks Mike Francesa and Chris Russo about their earliest baseball memories and which sport they prefer, baseball or football?

In this “Mike and the Mad Dog” clip from Oct. 24, 2006, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo turns movie critic after seeing the film “Flags of Our Fathers.”

The hot topic of conversation on the "Mike and the Mad Dog" show on Oct. 20, 2006, was the Mets’ heartbreaking loss the night before to the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series.

The Cardinals took the seven-game series and went on to win the World Series.

Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo opened their show by breaking down Game 7.

Then-Mets general manager Omar Minaya called in to discuss the tough loss.

Of course, Mets fans were devastated, none more than “Mr. Met,” WFAN sports anchor Bob Heussler, whom Mike and Chris treated with much compassion. Or maybe they weren’t really that compassionate and tried to needle him about the loss. You decide.

Broadcasting live from Yankee Stadium before the 2008 All-Star Game, Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo stayed later than their show was scheduled to end to speak with then-Commissioner Bud Selig.

As it turned out, it was the second-to-last show Mike and Chris did together before their show ended.

Last week, we posted Mike and the Mad Dog’s review of Chris Carlin’s wedding. They weren’t as kind when they discussed the wedding plans of another of their onetime producers, Marc Malusis. They weren’t crazy about the hourslong gap between the ceremony and reception, and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo wasn’t a fan of Malusis’ honeymoon plans, either.

In this classic "Mike and the Mad Dog" clip, the guys discuss attending Chris Carlin's wedding. Carlin was the show's producer at the time.

Alex Rodriguez made a surprise appearance on the "Mike and the Mad Dog" show on March 5, 2002, from Legends Field in Tampa, Florida.

A-Rod was still a Texas Ranger at the time, and he talked about how he almost became a New York Met, as well as other baseball-related matters.

Back in 2005, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo brought his kids to the WFAN studios, and when he wasn't paying attention, they managed to disrupt a live Brooklyn Nets game broadcast.

Listen and Russo and Mike Francesa discuss the incident in this March 25, 2005, episode of "Mike and the Mad Dog."

On March 30, 2016, Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo got together for a big reunion show at Radio City Music Hall. Here's the opening segment.
