I’m ba-a-a-ck! Being a grandfather isn’t something that you train for.  It was quite challenging last week to go outside and shoot basketball for an hour in the summer heat with an 8-year old intent on dispatching his creeky ol’ Grandpa in morning games of one-on-one. He took the overall 3-game series, but Grandpa held his own (at least for this year).  Now, where did I put that tube of SportsCreme? In fact, the past month has found my lovely wife and I spending a full week with each set of our five young (10 and under) grandsons.  We have enjoyed a total summer blast! Now, the house is quiet again.  Our eight-year old rescued Old English Sheepdog (Molly) seems to be mourning the loss of our fine young gentleman visitors and their very patient Dad. Molly enjoyed extra company during her morning and evening dog walks every day. It has been difficult to keep close tabs on sports while traveling to visit or hosting our very sharp and fun-loving grandsons over the past month. Some things appear to have changed a lot.  Others didn’t. It’s time to catch-up. Good news!  Saints legend Drew Brees was inducted into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame! New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees led the Black and Gold to their only Super Bowl appearance and title in February, 2010.  He set numerous NFL passing records during his stellar 20-year pro football career. The Texas-born Brees was an excellent student as well.  He majored in Industrial Management at Purdue University.  Drew Brees quarterbacked the Boilermakers football team to the Rose Bowl in 2001 as the team won a share of the Big Ten title. The San Diego Chargers selected Brees with the first pick in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft. It’s hard to believe that he played in San Diego for the first five years of his pro football career. A trade to the New Orleans Saints in 2006 also paired Drew Brees with new head coach Sean Payton.  It would be a match made in WhoDat Heaven for us Saints fans. Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in August, 2005.  The Louisiana Superdome was painstakingly repaired and refurbished the following year as New Orleans welcomed home its beloved football team along with a new quarterback and head coach. Drew Brees’ infectious positive attitude and leadership skills helped the Saints improve every season leading up to that Super Bowl victory. More importantly, the Saints’ rise served to boost the spirits of the entire Gulf South region during recovery efforts from both Hurricane Katrina and, a month later, Rita in southwestern Louisiana. Sorry, Archie Manning supporters.  The true GOAT (greatest of all time) for the majority of New Orleans Saints fans is Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees.  Congratulations! Red-hot Red Sox are blazing in baseball’s American League! The Boston Red Sox have won 27 of their last 32 baseball games through Sunday, August 9.  Boston was at the bottom of the American League East standings earlier in the season. The BoSox are still seven games behind the Tampa Bay Rays with 45 games left to play in baseball’s seemingly never-ending 162-game regular season.  Late inning comebacks have been the rule during Boston’s recent hot streak during July and into early August. Will the Boston Red Sox remain hot during this hottest month of the year?  Stay tuned! The eight team UFL recently packed-up and left Houston and Birmingham.  Why? Spring pro football’s United Football League (UFL) quietly exited two of its long-time markets less than two weeks ago. The Birmingham Stallions won three straight spring football titles from 2022 through 2024.  A brand new college football stadium for UAB featuring nearly 40,000 seats played host for Stallions home games in each of the past five seasons. The UFL’s billionaire owner and apparent league spokesman, Mike Repole, jousted with Birmingham football fans earlier this season about their lack of support for the team. It’s no surprise that Repole just pulled the plug after attendance declined this year.  His excuse for leaving Birmingham is what has raised eyebrows in Alabama. He said, “With Birmingham, this decision was 100% about the wrong sized venue.  Even on opening day, when 16,000 Stallions fans showed up, the energy, passion, and game atmosphere was not felt due to the size of the venue.” Here’s a question for you, Mr. Repole. Doing just as you requested, the Houston UFL franchise vacated its college football stadium at the University of Houston.  The Houston Gamblers moved into the city’s downtown soccer venue with 20,000 seats this season.  How do you explain why less than 7,000 fans attended Houston Gamblers football games this spring?  The team did exactly what you asked for and had even less success.  Houston’s UFL franchise is now defunct. Perhaps Mr. Repole might consider that the UFL’s on-field product is simply not very good.  It is also played during increasingly hot spring weather – especially in the league’s southern markets.  UFL games – which are (generally speaking) low scoring and not very exciting to watch – have trouble attracting local fans when tickets were priced as low as $20 apiece. The market, sir, has been and continues to speak to you quite loudly. Golf – Welcome to the winner’s circle, Jackson Koivun and Asterisk Talley! Two weeks ago, former Auburn All-American golfer Jackson Koivun picked-up his first PGA win at the 3M Open in Minnesota.  It was only his third professional start! After Sunday’s middle-of-the-pack finish in his fourth PGA start at Greensboro, NC, the 21-year old Koivun has earned enough FedEx points to qualify for this week’s first round of PGA playoffs beginning Thursday in Memphis. Let’s also welcome a 17-year old upcoming high school senior golfer to the winner’s circle. Asterisk Talley (yes, that’s her real name) easily won her first USGA championship by taking the US Women’s Amateur title in Tennessee with an 8-up victory.  She had previously finished runner-up in the 2024 US Junior Girls Amateur and the US Women’s Amateur. Congratulations to Ms. Talley!  Yes, there will forever be an Asterisk next to her last name on the US Women’s Amateur trophy. LIV Golf remains on life support but wants to tee it up again in 2027 In this continuing soap opera, LIV Golf (completing its fifth season in late August) will lose its Sugar Daddy financial backers.  The Saudi Public Investment Fund (with over $1 trillion in assets) has lost more than $5 billion to start, fund, and prop-up this worldwide golf venture.  They are skedaddling by no later than the end of August. Last week, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neal announced that a new lead investor has been secured.   Before you say, “Hooray!”, the golf league’s boss did not reveal a lot of specifics.  We don’t know who the investor is, how much money was actually being injected, or any other details which translate into a viable 2027 LIV Golf campaign. Golfers expecting to participate in LIV Golf during 2027 (assuming there is a season) will be playing for smaller prize money and will likely be asked to share in the risk (and, if possible, the rewards) of the revamped league. The future still looks shaky for LIV Golf. The US Senate punted on 4th down to go on vacation and leave the future of college athletics hanging in the balance When you woke up on Saturday morning, the United States Senate had adjourned to take a well-earned (sarcasm intended) full month of vacation. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) were finally able to bring their college sports bill to the floor of the US Senate over the past few weeks.  It showed some encouraging signs of passage. The SEC and Big Ten finally jumped aboard to support the Senate’s “Protect College Sports Act” last week.  That was the equivalent to a two-minute drill in hopes of getting this bill across the Senate’s goal line prior to the legislative body’s annual August recess. College sports conferences have been unable to get their primary rule maker and enforcement arm (the NCAA) to take consequential actions in recent years.  Guidelines and enforcement of rules in today’s transfer portal and NIL high dollar environment have many mid-sized and smaller universities considering dropping sports altogether.  The SEC recently suggested it was willing to break away from the NCAA and establish its own set of rules if something doesn’t change soon. With the proverbial play clock running, some Senators (as they are prone to do) tried to add amendments to the college sports bill last week.  They wasted too much time and failed to bring it to a full Senate vote prior the month-long adjournment. However, the Senators are promising to bring this college sports bill to a vote when they return in early September. If that occurs, the sports bill must still be approved by the House of Representatives and then obtain the President’s signature to become law. Sounds like a Hail Mary could be needed to complete this legislation with the mid-term elections coming up in November! The post Let’s Catch up! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Jerry and Willie are back for a Feel Good Summer Friday, looking back at the Jets' 2015 finale as Willie reminisces about that playoff push and early August training camp. The guys dive into rookie NFL transitions and camp fights before C-Lo steps in with updates on the Mets sweeping the Guardians, a classic John and Suzyn clip, the Red Sox closing in on the Yankees, and the Cubs' walk-off win with Rami at Wrigley. Finally, they debate Trent Grisham's leadoff struggles, check out standout rookies from the Hall of Fame game, discuss extreme heat and a bizarre bathroom encounter, probe Paul Rosenberg about his girlfriend, and close with a look into cruise ship swingers.

Whether you love them or hate them, the Boston Red Sox are the talk of MLB. Between their slow start and now their 15-game winning streak, people don't really know what to make of the BoSox. In full disclosure, I am not a Red Sox fan. I'm an O's fan, and the Sox are in the AL East, so that is their first strike. They are also the last team to integrate -- which has always struck me the wrong way. The Red Sox integrated their team after Jackie Robinson retired. That's wild. And let's not get into the complicated (AKA racist) relationship the Boston fans have with Black players on their team, and that of their opponents. All of that to say, I'm not a Sox fan. But things are looking up. And when I look at the Red Sox prospect list -- I get excited. The Sox feature three African-American pitching arms within the top 10 of their prospect list: #2 Anthony Eyanson, #4 Kyson Witherspoon, and #7 Marcus Phillips. All three come from big SEC programs. Witherspoon and Phillips are 2025 1st Round draft picks, and Eyanson is a 3rd rounder of the same draft class. All possess elite stuff. Witherspoon and Phillips are both in A+ ball, while Eyanson has rocketed to AA and pitched in the 2026 Futures Game. The future in Boston is not only bright, but it may be Black.

We've seen better baseball from the Baltimore Orioles over the past two weeks and after a 7-3 homestand with some walkoffs and walkovers, Luke Jones and Nestor give the Birds a June "reset" as they head to Fenway Park and then to Skydome in Toronto to tackle more of the AL East, where they hope to make up ground as a sub .500 squad thus far. The post Luke Jones and Nestor give Orioles a June reset headed to Fenway Park for BoSox first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

On deck: (4:15) I can go in many different directions to kick off the the podcast, but I'll start off with some intrigue in the NBA as the first round is taking shape. How will the Knicks fare after a rough two game stretch? Who'll come out on top in the Raptors-Cavs series? Will the Pistons draw even and not fall into a 3-1 deficit? Can the Nuggets run the table with Anthony Edwards out for the T-wolves? I'll take each matchup one by one and forecast how this'll play out over the next few days. (28:49) As for the NHL, it's pretty cut and dry. Two teams have advanced (COL & CAR), three teams are up 3-1 (PHI, BUF, ANA) two are even (MIN-DAL, MTL-TB) and one series is heading into Game 4 with the Mammoth up on Vegas. Will there be any drama as these first round series come to a close? (40:45) The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora, to the chagrin of some players on the team. Will this be the jump start that the BoSox needed? And are two other managers (Mets Carlos Mendoza & Phillies Rob Thomson) next in line to go? (56:46) The NFL Draft is in the books. I'll share some takeaways, with the biggest one is how overrated are grades, winners and losers of the event. Also, should Mike Vrabel be suspended, or even terminated, for his behavior off the field with former Athletic writer, Diana Russini? (1:18:10) Tennis takes a huge hit going into their second major Grand Slam tournament of the year next month as Carlos Alcaraz will sit out due to a wrist injury. How does that bode for the reigning #1 player in the world Jannik Sinner? And MUCH MORE in between.

Jerry with the sounds of Howie Rose as the Mets actually won. We heard from Carlos Mendoza and Mark Vientos after the game. Amed Rosario drove in all 4 runs as the Yankees beat the Red Sox again. In the Mariners game, the pitcher had a line drive go into his shirt and it was ruled a dead ball instead of a catch. Jerry went around the NBA last night.

The Mets finally find the win column. We talk the draft with the Jets' second-overall pick holding the keys to the board. We look at the Giants' likely WR-defense strategy before Jerry breaks down Mark Vientos' wild night of ignored stop signs and RBI redemption. Plus, Carlos Mendoza updates Lindor's calf, Rosario carries the offense for the Yanks, and Mike Vrabel's counseling schedule leaves him missing day three of the draft.

It's been far from perfect but it's been good enough for the Orioles to remain very much in the hunt in the American League East as the scuffling Boston Red Sox come to Camden Yards this weekend. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds taking two of three in Kansas City and tip-toeing through all sorts of injuries, cold bats and a bullpen that's provided much-needed relief to help them hover near .500 while awaiting better health and Camden Yards cooking. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles taking two of three in Kansas City and headed home for BoSox first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Jerry with Ron Darling talking about Nolan McLean giving a ‘my bad' to a hitter he's friends with when one got away from him. The guy then homered, knowing the next pitch would not be high and tight. Nolan McLean talked about the hitters getting to him the third time through the order. Devin Williams blew 3 straight games. The Yankees shutout the Red Sox as Stanton had a big night. Jerry went around the NBA.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Wednesday's BBMS to debate where the O's would land in the AL East pecking order if the season started today. Do you think they're good enough to get past the Jays, Yankees, and BoSox with their current roster?

Trent Grisham accepts the Yankees' qualifying offer—a move Cashman never saw coming. Also some Yankees makeover talk, a potential MLB lockout, and the latest on Pete Alonso...and the Red Sox!

Rookie flamethrower Cam Schlittler carried the Bombers past the finish line with a performance Boomer compared to Clemens, Seaver, deGrom, even Nolan Ryan. Forget the Volpe or Boone chatter—Boomer's only talking about the kid who just pitched like a legend.

Jerry starts with the Yankees loss to the Red Sox as they committed four errors, three in one inning. The Mets were up 3-0 and lost 9-3 to the Nationals. Jaxson Dart played well again for the Giants in their final pre-season game. Dart took a hit because he didn't slide and needed to be checked for a concussion. Jerry Jones was on the Michael Irvin podcast and said the agents ruin everything. He also said nobody offered him more money than he has.

This weekend, both the Mets and Yankees were swept, while the Phillies extended their winning streak, and in a significant move, the Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to San Francisco after he homered in his final game with Boston; Aaron Judge notably struggled, going 1-for-12 with 9 strikeouts. In golf, JJ Spaun won the US Open, while Gio noted that something seems to be amiss with Rory, which warrants monitoring as he heads to Bethpage Black; meanwhile, the Knicks are still seeking a head coach, and Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat stated he doesn't believe anything in history prior to 1950.

Discussion centered on Juan Soto's "perks" with the Mets, leading to a tangent about the availability and use of "nudie magazines" at airports and in the WFAN bathroom. Jerry's final update included sounds of the Mets' loss in Boston, highlighting Soto's single after misjudging a ball off the Green Monster. Jerry also admitted Boomer's anti-Nets stance makes him root against the Knicks. Tyrese Haliburton expressed excitement for the MSG crowd. The "Moment of The Day" revisited the "nudie magazine" in the WFAN bathroom topic. The segment concluded with discussions about dinner plans and the guest list for the "Kickoff to Summer" show.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  As the final innings of a ESPN-broadcast pounding take place, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) take a look at some of the real concerning things that have taken place recently.  How concerning is Ryan Helsley's meltdown against the BoSox?  Should we expect anything from Miles Mikolas?  What happens now that Ivan Herrera is heading to the IL?  There's been some positives as well, but they are harder to find when the staff gives up double digits twice in three games.  Come listen and see if they are in there!

The lost art of beating the bushes for players

The day in the life of an area scout

Trouble in Boston between Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman.

The Mets and Yankees are already dealing with injuries. Gio is nervous about the high expectations for the Mets and doesn't like their new spring training hats. He also finds the Mrs. Met costume curvy and Rosie Red 'sexy'. A Delta plane flipped in Toronto, but no one died. Devers refuses to switch positions for Bregman. Gio was affected by the new Netflix docuseries on Gabby Petito.

On this week's episode, we begin by discussing the Red Sox making a huge splash by signing Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. From there, we discuss Nick Pivetta heading to the Padres, Clayton Kershaw's return to the Dodgers, extensions for Mark Kotsay, J.J. Picollo, Cole Ragans, and Geraldo Pedromo, new homes for Justin Turner, Ty France, Paul DeJong, Joey Gallo, John Means, Jacob Junis, Kendell Graveman and Cal Quantrill, and the latest in the long-list of injuries for Anthony Rendon.

Jose Iglesias is leaving the Mets, and Luisangel Acuna may become a star. The Mets sent a batting helmet to display, but the Yankees haven't responded to the request. David Stearns talked about Pete Alonso and Iglesias' future. Gerrit Cole talked about why he opted back into the Yankees. Alex Bregman is going to the Red Sox. Saquon Barkley was on the Howard Stern show. Kadarius Toney was arrested. The Knicks beat the Hawks, and Villanova upset St. John's. The Bengals got rid of Lou Anarumo.

Walker Buehler is on his way to Boston on a 1 year deal - should the Dodgers have tried harded to keep him? We have intel on what the impasse between Teo Hernandez and the Dodgers' may be. Former NFL QB Erik Kramer joins us to talk about his harrowing story and a new NFL Films documentary about his life.

During the past two decades in Major League Baseball, only the Houston Astros have won pennants and appeared in more World Series than the Cardinals and Boston. Two of baseball's most accomplished and celebrated franchises have won four pennants each and faced each other twice in the World Series, both of them won by the BoSox. The ties that bind go beyond shared Octobers these days as both clubs, perennial contenders for most of baseball's current era, are trying to find their footing and return to their postseason expectations. Rob Bradford captured the connection in a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball. "Both franchises are starving to find the certainty," he said. Bradford, the host of the wildly popular podcast Baseball Isn't Boring, joins the next-best baseball podcast to discuss the shared traits of the Cardinals and Red Sox — and the one link that is about to define the Cardinals future. Bradford, the Red Sox reporter at WEEI in Boston, covered Chaim Bloom's tenure atop Boston's baseball operations, and Bradford talks through how the pressures and decisions on Bloom look different in hindsight. With Best Podcast in Baseball host and baseball writer Derrick Goold, Bradford discusses how Bloom's time at Fenway Park gives a glimpse into how he'll do when he takes over baseball ops at Busch Stadium a year from now. Bradford, who co-authored a book with former Cardinals pitcher Joe Kelly, also discusses the origin of their movement and his enthusiastic and entertaining podcast, Baseball Isn't Boring. Which it isn't. And this lively conversation about it aims to show why, right down to a tattoo promise Bradford and Kelly made that has now come due.     The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and baseball writer Derrick Goold.

We talked about quarterbacks under pressure this season. Boomer said number 1 is Deshaun Watson because of what the Browns paid for him. Both Daneil Jones and Aaron Rodgers are both under pressure according to Gio. Boomer went through the rest of the list but Gio wasn't feeling it. Brady from California called in and he is incoherent. Jerry is here for an update and starts with the Yankees beating the Rangers as Stanton hit his 25th HR of the season. The Mets took game 1 from the Red Sox. Saquon Barkley talked about the upcoming game in Brazil. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wants the NFL to cancel the game in Brazil because of the free speech limits on its people in regards to the government banning Twitter.

   I need to be reminded, sometimes, just how much I love baseball.  Wednesday was that day as we traveled to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs punk the Twins and then watched the Royals rock the Bosox on the flight home.  What a day.    At Chiefs camp, Harrison Butker met with the media and he was brilliant, as always.  And the Chiefs are set to play the Jags Saturday, we have a preview.    Taylor Swift cancels her shows in Austria after two men are arrested for plotting a terror attack.  Kamala is dodging the media as her running mate is under fire for stolen valor.

   Former ESPN sportscaster Hal Chapman "Trey" Wingo III is just as arrogant as his name for posting comments about the Chiefs and kicker Harrison Butker's new contract.  You have to hear what this lib thinks happened here.  It's comical.    The Red Sox pound out 18 hits to beat the Royals in game one of a wild card playoff spot showdown leaving me with one very heavy thought.    A gorgeous swimmer from Uruguay finished 6th in the Butterfly and retired after her race.  What she did after that was incredible and what the Olympics did to her is disgraceful.    AI has spit out what it thinks the results of the regular season will look like in the NFL.    Kamala Harris has picked far left Minnesota governer Tim Walz as her running mate and it's a horrible sign for her.  She shouldn't be worried about Minnesota and she shouldn't be afraid to have taken a Jewish running mate in Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro.  This party is a mess.  Or maybe Shapiro said no thanks. We'll discuss.   Josh Hawley exposes the lead of the Secret Service detail that nearly got Trump killed, an HBCU professor tells the truth about immigration and black jobs and a rocker from KC is in trouble in LA.

Tuesday's Program opened with our reaction to last night's Royals loss to the Red Sox. Then we talked about how the Royals should prepare their bullpen for September and October. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FAN Morning Show starts with hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning looking back on the Boston Celtics' 18th NBA Championship. They dive into Boston's impressive postseason run and look at what made them so dominant; was it their depth or having a two superstars at the top? They also weigh in on if they could be poised to be the league's next “dynasty”, along with what's next for Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving after coming up short. In the back half of the hour, the morning duo chat about Blue Jays' latest loss to the Red Sox. They revisit preseason projections that had Boston at the bottom of the division, but yet this BoSox team seems to be better than Toronto in most aspects of the game. They also compare the club's two superstars and wonder if a contract similar to what Rafael Devers signed in Boston would be good enough for all involved (including fans) to keep Vlad Guerrero Jr in Toronto. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Mets are on a bit of a roll right now after sweeping the Padres. What will they do at the trade deadline? Gio doesn't think they will add players. At most, they will stand pat. Boomer thinks they could add players if they are in. There is still a long way to go. The trade deadline is six weeks away at the end of July. The Mets are 5-0 since Grimace threw out the first pitch. The Mets are also 9-3 since changing their X logo to the pride flag colors. They have been dubbed, on X, as ‘the gay Mets'. A caller explains what Grimace is in the world of McDonald's. Jerry returns for his final update of the day. He is going to play golf in Arizona because you can always guarantee nice weather. Jerry thinks it's ‘ugly' around here in the summertime. Jerry said you cannot count on good weather here, even in the summer. Jerry starts with the Yankees losing in Boston. The Yankees gave up 9 stolen bases. The Mets swept the Padres as Pete Alonso homered yesterday. Ronel Blanco threw 7 innings of no hit ball and was pulled because he reached 94 pitches. Angel Reese said the refs are not treating her team the same way they are treating Caitlin Clark. The Moment of The Day involves Bryson DeChambeau's ‘salty balls'. In the final segment of the show, Gio was playing around with the A-I that's built into Instagram.

The Mets are on a bit of a roll after sweeping the Padres this weekend. Boomer thinks they could actually be buyers instead of sellers at the trade deadline. Gio wonders what they'll do if they're on the fringe. ‘The Gay Mets are 9-3' is something Gio heard on The Warm Up Show with Al & Jerry. Since June is Pride Month, the Mets changed their logo on X to the pride flag colors. Since that happened, they are 9-3 and it is being discussed on X that way. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Yankees losing to the Red Sox in Boston. The Sox stole a franchise high 9 bases. The Mets swept the Padres as Pete Alonso homered yesterday. Mookie Betts was drilled in the hand by a pitch and Yamamoto has been put on the shelf. Bryson DeChambeau won the US Open. In the final segment of the hour, Evan Roberts has been making an effort to dress nicer. A caller thinks Boomer is passive aggressive with his Yankees hatred.

Russell Earl "Bucky" Dent is a retired Major League Baseball player and manager widely remembered by fans for his tenure with the New York Yankees … and his famous tie-breaking home run versus the Boston Red Sox at the end of the 1978 season. The St. Louis Cardinals originally selected Dent in the 1st round of the 1970 amateur draft but he did not sign with the team, allowing the Chicago White Sox to take him the 1st round (6th overall) of the June Secondary later that year. The right-handed shortstop spent four seasons (1973-1976) in Chicago, finishing second in 1974 Rookie of the Year balloting (behind Mike Hargrove). Bucky also appeared on the first of what would be three All-Star Game rosters (1975, 1980, 1981) while with the team. However, Dent had trouble successfully succeeded Luis Aparicio at short, compiling a .239 batting average and 209 RBI, and eventually was traded to the Yankees (1977-1982), where he became part of Bronx Bomber history. Dent hit a three-run homer that gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the 1978 AL East division play-off game versus the BoSox … an unlikely event as Dent had hit only 40 home runs in a dozen seasons in the big leagues. Dent batted .417 in that year's World Series, earning MVP honors as New York topped the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the end of his professional career, Bucky spent time with the Texas Rangers (1982-1983) and the Kansas City Royals (1984) before retiring with a .246 batting average and 423 RBI. He compiled a 36-52 record managing the Yankees at the end of the 1989 and beginning of the 1990 seasons.

Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story's season is over as he's having surgery for a fractured shoulder. We talked about some of the Mets homegrown players that have done well and some of the Yankees as well. We also talked about the Rangers/Islanders incident from the other night as they play each other again Saturday. Jerry returns for an update, but first we talked about the Masters website and how good it is and that got us thinking about the best websites out there. Jon Rahm met the media and it got uncomfortable when he was asked about LIV. The Yankees lost to the Marlins and Juan Soto talked about his first homestand as a Yankee. Adam Silver talked about players gambling on games that will get them banned for life. Aaron Rodgers was on a podcast and talked about Trump and Biden being terrible and that's why he's supporting Robert Kennedy Jr. He said the 2-party system doesn't work. He seemed to imply that the Clinton's killed JFK Jr, even though he died in a plane crash. Stephen A. Smith said that he and Molly Qerim are not a couple. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about WFAN's Masters coverage from over the years. A caller wonders if Matt Rempe plays by the code Boomer talks about. We also talked about the quarterbacks in the draft.

In Boston, the news said nobody seems to care about the Red Sox and their upcoming opening day.

We started the hour with a caller who agrees with Boomer regarding pitchers ERAs. Boomer thinks that since nobody throws 9 innings anymore, we need to adjust how we determine ERA. Boomer also talked about a parlay he's putting in and it involves his friend Phil Simms' alma mater, Morehead State. We got back into calls on Ohtani, his interpreter and the gambling situation. Jerry said maybe Ohtani isn't betting and the bookie gave the interpreter that much credit because he works for Ohtani. C-Lo returned for an update but first we took a call from ‘Carmine on Mulberry Street'. C-Lo said ESPN keeps updating its story with more details on Ohtani, his interpreter and bookies. Chris Russo was upset with Opening Day of baseball being on at 6am in Seoul. He said it's a ‘crime'. C-Lo has a Buzz or No Buzz: Aaron Judge & Giancarlo Stanton's performance last night. In Boston, the news said nobody seems to care about the Red Sox and their upcoming opening day. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer liked a joke on twitter involving Shohei Ohtani and Pete Rose.

Hour 3 We start with a caller who wonders why the Jets left Aaron Rodgers exposed on the play he got injured on. Boomer said he held on to the ball too long, and that's what led to the sack. A caller reminds us that Zach Wilson hasn't made it through a season without getting hurt. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Eagles beating the Vikings. Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown were arguing on the sideline even though they were winning the entire time. Al has some new Zach Wilson songs. Saquon Barkley said the Giants can't act like the sky is falling after one loss. Aaron Judge hit a grand slam last night in Boston. In the final segment of the hour, Gio MC'd a serious event last night and he almost did an ‘Anita Cox' joke. A soldier who was burned over 70% of his body became a stand-up comedian and performed at the event.

The last game of the so-called most important series of the season for the Blue Jays went about as well as the first three; another loss to complete the sweep at the hands of the Texas Rangers.

The Blue Jays' American League East struggles continue at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles, dropping the series finale on Thursday. Host Blake Murphy gives us some surprising stats from the series, and highlights one player in particular that almost beat the Jays single-handily. Then, theScore's Jonah Birenbaum hops aboard to try to make sense of why the Jays' continue to struggle within their division. Next, Blake welcomes FanGraphs writer and "ZiPsetician" Dan Szymborski to dive deeper into some numbers around the league and how the Jays stack up (30:41).

July 31 2004 - The long-anticipated trade of Nomar Garciaparra is finally accomplished as the Red Sox shortstop is traded to the Cubs in a four-team deal which includes the Twins and Expos.
