That’ll show ’em!
Great. The Yanks defended their honor in the brawl with the Tigers yesterday. They also may have royally messed up their season. Regardless of who started it or who ultimately is to blame, for a contending team to get suckered into a brawl with a team that has nothing...
Rookie Mistakes
Yesterday, we saw the mental errors. Judge lobbed a ball in from right field, allowing a wily Boston runner to tag up and take third base. Sanchez can't be trusted to block balls in the dirt. And the Mets' Rosario has a bad habit of double clutching, allowing speedy...
Their darkest hour
The Yanks just swept a four game series from the Mets. What did you expect? Maybe the Metsies steal one game, deGrom's outing or perhaps a Yankee starter blows up? With the Bombers in contention and the Mets hopelessly out of it, no surprises here. But this week has...
Won’t get fooled again….
Have you bought a car recently? At the end of the deal, the salesperson tells you that the company will be sending you a survey soon and please, please, please, give me five stars or we risk our dealership's high ranking. That could lead to losing the discounts and...
Mets look stupid again….
Reports are that the Nationals are interested in Curtis Granderson, but the Mets don't want to help their division rivals. If this is true, they are being shortsighted and dumb. First off, you have to love Grandy. Great guy, charity, leader, etc. The chance for post...
It’s Money That Matters…and only money
The response to my Scott Muni/Glen Campbell piece has been incredible. It has been shared and 'liked' exponentially more than anything I've written to date. The point of the piece has riled some of those radio know-it-alls who populate message boards. Their position...
Radio Radio
An iconic musician dies. Radio silence. A legendary disc jockey defies his program director and devotes his entire program to the man's music. The PD lasts a few more months and is quickly forgotten. The jock remains a radio fixture until shortly before his own...
No-brainers that aren’t
Yoenis Cespedes or Daniel Murphy? After the 2015 season, (the one where the Mets went to the World Series, remember?), the team decided to let Murph walk and opted to re-sign Cespedes. "A no-brainer" most cried. "Who would you rather have?" The implication was that if...
Free Speech
I had a hard time with callers this weekend regarding Colin Kaepernick. I have a problem with a lot of his quotes that have made headlines, but a deeper look at many of his answers show more nuance and have some legitimacy. My biggest problem is that he didn't vote....
Dunkirk
I was warned. A good friend of mine saw Dunkirk and walked out three quarters of the way through. He is prone to sea sickness and said the film made him dizzy, but mainly, it was because he felt beaten up throughout this dialogue barren endeavor. I was skeptical. The...
