Closing out the month and first half of 2023 in the only way I know how, with nothing but passionate, unapologetic sports talk as I keep you apprised of all that's happening. On deck: (3:18) Baseball had a historic moment last night as Yankee starting pitcher, Domingo German, became the 24th pitcher in the sports history to throw a perfect game, as he did so against the Oakland A's. Could this be a springboard to what's been an up and down season to date? On the other side of town, you have Mets owner Steve Cohen, coming off of another state of the union regarding his underachieving ball club. Did he say all the right things? Am I a fan of what was said during his press conference yesterday? Then you have the exploits of Shohei Ohtani who hit two home runs, while striking out 10 in a win over the White Sox. Not only is he the frontrunner to winning another MVP, but is he also in the mix for the AL Cy Young Award as well? There's a surprisingly big series in the NL East this weekend as the second place Marlins visit the first place Braves. Can Miami thwart Atlanta's dominance over them throughout the past few years? (26:12) To no shock, the Chicago Blackhawks drafted the NHL's next great generational star with the first overall pick in a one Connor Bedard. With Edmonton Oilers back to back and three time MVP, Connor McDavid, head and shoulders the best player in the league, is there pressure for Bedard to deliver what his reputation and namesake has done to this point? I'll also discuss a couple of surprises at the top of the draft between Anaheim selecting Leo Karlsson instead of Adam Fantilli. And the Flyers taking a risk by drafting talented but mysterious, Matvei Michkov. I'll cover some of the big trades that have taken place so far and peek at some key dates on the upcoming NHL schedule as it was released yesterday. Lastly, I'll delve into the recent class that'll be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon and Pierre Turgeon to name a few will be enshrined later this year. (37:53) The NBA free agency period is looming! Where will the likes of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, Russell Westbrook, D'Angelo Russell, etc. will end up? (43:05) More NFL players are facing suspension in the next day or so after violating the league's gambling policy. Who will that be? And is it hypocritical for a league to be in bed with some of these gambling houses/websites, while coming down on players for placing wagers? There's a new executive director leading the players association and sad news as former NFL quarterback, Ryan Mallett passed away a couple of days ago at the age of 35.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 9, Kansas City Royals 4 Chicago Cubs 8, Pittsburgh Pirates 3 Texas Rangers 6, Chicago White Sox 3 Tigers 9, Royals 4 – Zack Short homers, Javier Báez gets 1,000th hit to lead Tigers over Royals 9-4 Zack Short homered and drove in three runs, Javier Báez got his 1,000th hit and Detroit sent slumping Kansas City to its 15th loss in 18 games. Matthew Boyd (5-5) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings for Detroit. He struck out seven without a walk. Brady Singer (4-7) lost his third straight decision, giving up five runs, seven hits and a walk in seven innings. Báez put the Tigers ahead 4-2 in the third, driving in Kerry Carpenter with his 1,000th hit. Cubs 8, Pirates 3 – Hendricks shuts down reeling Pirates as Cubs complete 3-game sweep with 8-3 victory Kyle Hendricks pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-3 to complete a three-game sweep. Nico Hoerner homered and tripled for the Cubs, who have won eight of nine. Ian Happ doubled twice and drove in three runs for Chicago. Josh Palacios had an RBI double for Pittsburgh but couldn’t stop the Pirates from dropping their ninth straight game. Pittsburgh has managed just 20 runs during a slide that’s seen the Pirates drop from first to fourth in the NL Central. Rangers 6, White Sox 3 – Heim homers as Rangers beat the White Sox 6-3 Jonah Heim hit a three-run homer a night after he was involved in a controversial play at the plate and the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3. Ezequiel Duran also connected as Texas won for the fourth time in five games. Martín Pérez pitched seven effective innings in his first victory in a month. The AL West leaders bounced back nicely after a frustrating 7-6 loss on Tuesday night. Chicago scored the winning run in its three-run eighth when Heim was called for illegally blocking the plate in a replay review that overturned umpire D.J. Reyburn’s out call. Today Tigers, Cubs, and White Sox are off MLB – MLB sued by 17 ex-scouts who say they were discriminated against because of age Seventeen former Major League Baseball scouts who say they were discriminated against because of their age have sued the league, its teams and Commissioner Rob Manfred. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver. The former scouts allege violations of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 along with laws in 11 states and New York City. The scouts, ranging from 55 to 71, allege they were discriminated against from 2020-22. MLB said in a statement it looks "forward to refuting these claims in court.” NBA – NBA-champion Nuggets trade into the 1st round by swapping picks with the Pacers The NBA-champion Denver Nuggets struck a deal with Indiana to acquire a first-round round pick in the draft on Thursday night. The teams agreed to a deal that also gives the Nuggets the 32nd overall pick, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Pacers will receive the 40th pick in this year’s draft from Denver and a first-round pick in 2024. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has yet to be announced. NBA – With Wembanyama, there’s no debate at the top of NBA draft Victor Wembanyama’s towering shadow has hung over this NBA draft for months, blocking much of what is usually part of the process. There has been no debate about who the San Antonio Spurs should take with the No. 1 pick on Thursday night. When a player like Wembanyama comes along — and maybe none ever has — there’s no real reason to drum up any drama. The Spurs are not going to pass up someone who is listed at 7’4” but has the skills of a player much smaller. The 19-year-old from France has been called the best prospect since LeBron James came out of high school in 2003. NBA – NBA Draft Picks Detroit, 5, 31 Chicago: 11 (traded to Orlando), 42 (traded to Washington) Indiana: 7, 26 (from Cleveland), 40 (from Dallas), 55 (from Cleveland) WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm, 10:00 p.m. Golf – PGA Tour will appear before a Senate panel investigating its deal with LIV A Senate subcommittee is asking executives from the PGA Tour, Saudi golf interests and LIV Golf to testify as Congress investigates the shocking business deal that upended the sport. Sen. Richard Blumenthal announced Wednesday that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations would hold a hearing on July 11 to examine the stunning agreement the PGA Tour now has with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and the European tour. He invited PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Public Investment Fund Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan and LIV CEO Greg Norman to testify. The PGA Tour said in a statement that it looked forward to appearing to answer questions about the “framework agreement.” Golf – Zhang seeking to follow win in pro debut with a win at a major Rose Zhang turned professional with many expecting great things and she didn’t disappoint, winning the Mizuho Americas Open in her debut. The 20-year-old, two-time NCAA individual champion will look to keep it going this week when she takes on the best in women’s golf in the Women’s PGA Championship at Baltustol in Springfield, New Jersey. The task will be tougher this week with all 11 winners on the LPGA Tour and 19 of the top 20 players in the world entered in the event. Zhang said the biggest change for her has been the demands on her time. Hockey – Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goalie-heavy class of 2023 Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goaltender-heavy class of 2023. Fellow netminders Tom Barrasso and Red Wing Mike Vernon were also among the five players elected. Former NHL forward Pierre Turgeon and Canadian women’s hockey star Caroline Ouellette were also chosen. Stanley Cup-winning coach Ken Hitchcock and late executive Pierre Lacroix were picked in the builder category. Lundqvist is set to be inducted into the Hall in his first year of eligibility after winning Olympic gold for Sweden in 2006 and a pro career that included backstopping the New York Rangers to 11 playoff appearances in 12 seasons. Vernon was so surprised he thought board chairman Lanny McDonald, a teammate when they won the Cup together with Calgary in 1989, was calling to ask him to play golf. The two-time Cup champion who was also playoff MVP when he won it in 1997 with Detroit had been eligible since 2005. "The game has meant a lot to me throughout my life," Vernon said. “It is an emotional time for me. Might be a long time coming, but it’s still worth it.” FIFA – WWC – Morgan and Rapinoe selected for the US Women’s World Cup roster Eighteen-year-old Alyssa Thompson is among the 23 players selected for the United States team that will defend its title at the Women’s World Cup next month. Thompson is among a mix of veteran and newcomers named Wednesday to the team by head coach Vlatko Andonovski. Among the experienced players are Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, who will each be making a fourth World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand. Thompson is joined by fellow up-and-coming stars Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, who is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman. Olympics – IOC warns Afghanistan about Olympic status over denying sports to women The Afghanistan team’s status for the 2024 Paris Olympics has been put in question by the IOC over growing frustration with the Taliban blocking access to sport for women and girls. The International Olympic Committee says it “continues to be extremely concerned” about the sports situation in Afghanistan despite its repeated calls for action. The IOC says it has the right to take further measures. And it notes details for an Afghanistan delegation going to the Paris Games haven’t been decided. The IOC could suspend Afghanistan’s Olympic body for government interference and support athletes to compete as an independent team.

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe react to the 2023 class of the Hockey Hall of Fame announcement on Wednesday, including flowers for Henrik Lundqvist and Caroline Ouellette, also the snub of Alexander Mogilny and the decision to only induct one woman this year, and start some early debate for the class of 2024. Next, with Connor Hellebuyck, Mark Scheifele, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Blake Wheeler all potentially leaving the Jets, it could be the biggest roster turnover in recent history, and what the offseason future could hold for Timo Meier, Alex DeBrincat and Erik Karlsson. To wrap up, a listener shares a hat trick hat throw story in the mailbag, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History". Have a question for the show?

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver. The former scouts allege violations of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 along with laws in 11 states and New York City. The scouts, ranging from 55 to 71, allege they were discriminated against from 2020-22. MLB said in a statement it looks "forward to refuting these claims in court.” NBA – NBA-champion Nuggets trade into the 1st round by swapping picks with the Pacers The NBA-champion Denver Nuggets struck a deal with Indiana to acquire a first-round round pick in the draft on Thursday night. The teams agreed to a deal that also gives the Nuggets the 32nd overall pick, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Pacers will receive the 40th pick in this year’s draft from Denver and a first-round pick in 2024. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has yet to be announced. NBA – With Wembanyama, there’s no debate at the top of NBA draft Victor Wembanyama’s towering shadow has hung over this NBA draft for months, blocking much of what is usually part of the process. There has been no debate about who the San Antonio Spurs should take with the No. 1 pick on Thursday night. When a player like Wembanyama comes along — and maybe none ever has — there’s no real reason to drum up any drama. The Spurs are not going to pass up someone who is listed at 7’4” but has the skills of a player much smaller. The 19-year-old from France has been called the best prospect since LeBron James came out of high school in 2003.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal announced Wednesday that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations would hold a hearing on July 11 to examine the stunning agreement the PGA Tour now has with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and the European tour. He invited PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Public Investment Fund Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan and LIV CEO Greg Norman to testify. The PGA Tour said in a statement that it looked forward to appearing to answer questions about the “framework agreement.” Golf – Zhang seeking to follow win in pro debut with a win at a major Rose Zhang turned professional with many expecting great things and she didn’t disappoint, winning the Mizuho Americas Open in her debut. The 20-year-old, two-time NCAA individual champion will look to keep it going this week when she takes on the best in women’s golf in the Women’s PGA Championship at Baltustol in Springfield, New Jersey. The task will be tougher this week with all 11 winners on the LPGA Tour and 19 of the top 20 players in the world entered in the event. Zhang said the biggest change for her has been the demands on her time. Hockey – Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goalie-heavy class of 2023 Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goaltender-heavy class of 2023. Fellow netminders Tom Barrasso and Red Wing Mike Vernon were also among the five players elected. Former NHL forward Pierre Turgeon and Canadian women’s hockey star Caroline Ouellette were also chosen. Stanley Cup-winning coach Ken Hitchcock and late executive Pierre Lacroix were picked in the builder category. Lundqvist is set to be inducted into the Hall in his first year of eligibility after winning Olympic gold for Sweden in 2006 and a pro career that included backstopping the New York Rangers to 11 playoff appearances in 12 seasons. Vernon was so surprised he thought board chairman Lanny McDonald, a teammate when they won the Cup together with Calgary in 1989, was calling to ask him to play golf. The two-time Cup champion who was also playoff MVP when he won it in 1997 with Detroit had been eligible since 2005. "The game has meant a lot to me throughout my life," Vernon said. “It is an emotional time for me. Might be a long time coming, but it’s still worth it.” FIFA – WWC – Morgan and Rapinoe selected for the US Women’s World Cup roster Eighteen-year-old Alyssa Thompson is among the 23 players selected for the United States team that will defend its title at the Women’s World Cup next month. Thompson is among a mix of veteran and newcomers named Wednesday to the team by head coach Vlatko Andonovski. Among the experienced players are Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, who will each be making a fourth World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand. Thompson is joined by fellow up-and-coming stars Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, who is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman. Olympics – IOC warns Afghanistan about Olympic status over denying sports to women The Afghanistan team’s status for the 2024 Paris Olympics has been put in question by the IOC over growing frustration with the Taliban blocking access to sport for women and girls. The International Olympic Committee says it “continues to be extremely concerned” about the sports situation in Afghanistan despite its repeated calls for action. The IOC says it has the right to take further measures. And it notes details for an Afghanistan delegation going to the Paris Games haven’t been decided. The IOC could suspend Afghanistan’s Olympic body for government interference and support athletes to compete as an independent team.

Hour 3: The submarine that was touring the wreckage of the Titanic is still missing. They had 96 hours of oxygen in case of emergency. The CBS news story on the submarine made it seem like it was pieced together cheaply. Jerry returns for an update and starts with John Sterling calling an Anthony Volpe HR as they beat the Mariners again. The Mets dropped another series as they lost again to the Astros. Daniel Vogelbach had another couple hits in the loss. The Reds won their 11th in a row. It's their longest winning streak since 1966. Kristops Porzingis is headed to the Celtics in a 3-team trade. Dak Prescott met the media and talked about his legacy. And Henrik Lundqvist made it to the Hockey Hall of Fame. In the final segment of the hour, we have audio from the DA Show where DA was complaining about WFAN taking all of the talent from CBS Sports Radio. Gio said when he worked at the network he also didn't think anybody cared about it.
Hour 1: Gio compared the Mets to having a sick child in your home. You love them, but you want to avoid them because you don't want to get sick. Boomer said the sound kept dropping off of the Amazon Prime Yankees broadcast. Hal Steinbrenner said he's not sure why fans are upset since it's only mid-June. Boomer & Gio talked about why the fans are upset since he doesn't seem so sure. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of John Sterling calling a 2-run HR by Jake Bauers. Jhony Brito did a solid job on the mound and talked about the win. The Mets lost yesterday in Houston, meaning they've lost another series. The Reds have won their 11th straight, the most since 1966. Kristaps Porzingis is headed to Boston as part of a 3-player deal. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer doesn't like the Jon Heyman article where scouts are talking about Anthony Volpe and how he needs to fix his swing. Not a single scout put their name on it. Hour 2: People on the DA Show are crying that Shaun Morash is moving to WFAN. Tiki and Tierney were also reminiscing about their many years together before the changes take place. Damon Amendolara is frustrated that WFAN keeps taking talent from CBS Sports Network. We heard audio from Pete Bellotti at the DA Show. He was choked up talking about Morash leaving. A lot of the people on air around here now have come through Eddie's internship program. Eddie is our ‘Stick' Michaels. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer went down the hall during the break to the DA Show to let them know everyone will be ok. Jerry mentioned he doesn't like the name, ‘Warm Up Show'. Billy McKinney hit his second HR in 2 nights as the Yankees beat the Mariners again. The Mets lost another series by losing again to the Astros last night. Tylor Megill had a short outing. Boomer is sick of hearing Buck Showalter after every game saying we have to play better. There was a horrendous overturn of a call at the plate in the Padres/Giants game. Aaron Rodgers was a speaker at a psychedelic conference in Denver last night. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer wonders if we need to bring in grief counselors since everyone is crying about Morash leaving CBS Sports Radio. A caller wants to know at what age you outgrow Las Vegas bachelor parties. A caller gives us an update on how much the person makes who comes into medical school and lets students check his prostate.

Gio said when he worked at the network he also didn't think anybody cared about it. Hour 4: Kristaps Porzingis is headed to the Celtics in a 3-team deal. Were the Knicks interested in bringing him back? The Athletic is reporting that Obi Toppin and Tom Thibodeau got into a screaming match after game 4 in Miami. Jerry returned for an update but first Gio said he did check out the new season of Temptation Island and it looks pretty good. Jordan Whitehead of the Jets said this really reminds him of when Tom Brady came to Tampa. Rob Manfred did an interview with Time Magazine and he talked about giving players immunity in the Astros cheating scandal. Looking back it seems like he wished he didn't do that. The Yankees beat the Mariners again last night. We heard John Sterling call a HR by Jake Bauers. The Mets and Astros went back and forth but the Mets lost again and lost their sixth series in a row. Tylor Megill was not good. Bill Burr was in the booth for NESN for the entire Red Sox game. He had a few jokes that didn't go over so well. Ohtani gave up 1-run and took the loss. He threw 100 pitches. In the final segment of the show, Kadarius Toney is having his Chiefs Super Bowl ring sized for his middle finger as an F-U to New York. We also talked about some of the giant chains some professional players get made by jewelers.
