Calls start with a mention of the incident where a grown man took a ball away from a little girl.

Jerry starts with a montage of Gary Cohen from the Mets giving up seven runs in the fourth inning. Boomer said everybody on the team except for Nolan McLean is a ‘net negative'. We heard from Mendoza after the game about that fourth inning. The Yankees were shutout by the Rangers, but no biggie.

We started the hour talking more about LIV Golf and why it started and how it seems like it will be ending. We also talked about that pic from a few years ago of Greg Norman walking on the beach with his dog and you could see his huge package outlined in his shorts.

Jerry is here for his first update of the day with the sounds of the Nationals beating up the Mets, 14-2. David Peterson stunk again and we heard from Carlos Mendoza.

Nathan Church of the Cardinals robbed a would be walk off HR in Pittsburgh. Jerry went around the NBA & NHL playoffs last night.

Boomer called him ‘an absolute turd'. Gio called him a ‘loser' and an ‘ass hat'. Jerry went around the NBA and NHL playoffs.

The Mets held off selling tix for July and August, probably because they thought they would be good and could jack up the prices. That backfired.
