The guys debate Joey Gallo and his merit to this Yankee team. They also talk about the suspension MLB just laid down for Matt Harvey. And Craig has been telling a story for a long time and just realized he had a detail of it wrong.
Craig can't seem to figure the out the update on Jacob deGrom because people are painting it different ways. The guys also can't understand why people dig up old tweets to tear celebs down. And what is Joey Gallo at this point?

It wouldn't be a Mets game without some on-field drama with their opponent. And it sounds like the Giants are playing on Thanksgiving, so Evan wants us to work the next day.
Craig wonders why we can't just all be a big happy family. Evan has Game 7 tickets to the Rangers, assuming there is one, but he's wondering what he should do with them.
