Sal Licata dives into the first-half performances of the New York Mets and Yankees, delivering his fiery grades and sharp analysis. He commends the Mets with an "A" for exceeding expectations, overcoming injuries, and positioning themselves as serious NL East contenders, just a half-game behind the Phillies. Conversely, Licata hands the Yankees a "B," citing their inconsistent offense, defensive lapses at shortstop, and a convoluted lineup. He highlights the Yankees' need for a third baseman and bullpen help, while the Mets are poised to be aggressive at the trade deadline to bolster their World Series aspirations.

Sal Licata, with his characteristic intensity, breaks down the first-half performances of the New York Mets and Yankees. He emphatically awards the Mets an "A" grade, citing their ability to overcome significant injuries and exceeding pre-season expectations, especially in a division where the Braves have faltered. Conversely, Licata hands the Yankees a "B," expressing frustration with their inconsistency, questionable lineup decisions, and defensive lapses, despite their strong roster. He criticizes their failure to meet higher expectations and highlights specific player underperformances, particularly Anthony Volpe's defensive struggles and Juan Soto's woes with runners in scoring position for the Mets.

Sal Licata delivered his fiery first-half grades for New York's baseball teams, giving the Mets a resounding 'A' for exceeding expectations and overcoming significant injuries, despite Juan Soto's struggles with runners in scoring position. In contrast, he handed the Yankees a 'B', citing maddening inconsistencies, questionable managerial decisions, defensive blunders (particularly from Anthony Volpe), and a general underperformance against pre-season expectations, even with Aaron Judge's stellar play. Licata emphasized that while both teams are in good spots heading into the All-Star break, the Yankees have more room for improvement, and he isn't shy about calling out their flaws.

Sal Licata, has unleashed a fiery, no-holds-barred assault on the Yankees' egregious lineup choices. He's not just "disappointed"; he's incandescent with rage, viewing the current batting order as nothing short of a sacrilege against the very spirit of Yankee baseball. For Licata, it's a colossal miscalculation, a glaring display of managerial malpractice that's actively sabotaging the team's potent offense and leaving true fans tearing their hair out. He sees a lineup that's not just underperforming, but fundamentally ill-conceived, a slap in the face to the rich history of pinstriped power, and he's demanding accountability for this unholy mess!

Sal Licata vehemently argues that New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is not a Hall of Famer, despite his impressive home run totals and MVP award. Licata critiques Stanton's lack of consistent production, particularly since joining the Yankees, highlighting his struggles with injuries, declining batting average, and inability to drive in runs consistently compared to his pre-Yankees days. He asserts that Stanton's overall career performance, especially his significant drop-off in key offensive metrics and limited defensive value, falls short of Hall of Fame standards.

Sal Licata delivers a scathing critique of Anthony Volpe's performance, particularly focusing on his defensive struggles at shortstop. Licata, fueled by a caller's concerns and his own observations, questions the Yankees' commitment to Volpe given his inconsistencies and argues that his defensive miscues are costing the team, especially as they contend for a championship. He suggests that while Volpe's offensive struggles might be tolerable if he played clean defense, his current level of play is simply "not a big league play" and that the Yankees should consider sending him down if the struggles persist, highlighting the team's need for accountability and consistent play.

In a hilarious segment, sports personality Sal Licata was joined by professional wrestler Brian Myers, but the conversation quickly veered from serious sports analysis to uproarious banter about Myers' choice of accessory: a fanny pack. Licata, never one to miss an opportunity for a good-natured jab, couldn't resist playfully roasting Myers' practical yet fashionably questionable hip-slung bag, leading to a laugh-out-loud exchange about its contents and overall aesthetic.

In a captivating Fourth of July interview, legendary pitcher Doc Gooden sits down with Sal Licata for a candid discussion spanning his illustrious career and personal journey. Gooden reflects on the highs of his Mets days, including the unmatched thrill of his retired number at Citi Field, while also opening up about the profound impact of his father's passing and the enduring regret of missing the 1986 Mets parade. He offers sharp insights into today's Mets and Yankees, dissecting lineups and pitching strategies with the wisdom of a true baseball icon, all while maintaining his unwavering loyalty to the orange and blue.

New York Mets radio voice Keith Raad joins Sal Licata for a fiery discussion on the state of the struggling Mets, delving into their recent performance, offensive inconsistencies, and pitching woes. The conversation explores potential trade targets and long-term roster needs, with Raad offering his insights from being around the team daily, while Licata pushes for immediate answers as the Subway Series approaches.

Sal Licata expresses strong disapproval of the New York Knicks' decision to hire Mike Brown as their new head coach, viewing it as a significant downgrade from the recently fired Tom Thibodeau. Licata argues that Brown, despite his Coach of the Year accolades, has a history as a "failed head coach" who hasn't won a championship and largely succeeded due to coaching LeBron James. He vehemently believes this "retread" hire doesn't align with the Knicks' stated goal of winning an NBA title, raising concerns about Brown's ability to instill discipline and truly elevate the team, especially compared to Thibodeau who guided them to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years.

Sal Licata's show today delivered a passionate breakdown of the Yankees' recent struggles, particularly their "sloppy" play, organizational failures in player development, and what he sees as a disconnect between the front office's analytics-driven approach and the reality on the field. He expressed frustration with players like Ben Rice being played out of position and the regression of Anthony Volpe, while also touching on the Mets' own inconsistencies and the Knicks' controversial hiring of Mike Brown, which he views as a downgrade from Tom Thibodeau. Licata's fiery commentary underscored a broader theme of demanding accountability from New York sports teams who, in his view, often believe they are better than their on-field performance suggests.

Sal Licata, draws an audacious comparison between current Yankees superstar Aaron Judge and controversial slugger Barry Bonds. While acknowledging Judge's unimpeachable character and clutch hitting in monumental regular-season moments, Licata suggests that Judge's consistent ability to deliver in high-pressure situations, reminiscent of Bonds' formidable presence at the plate, elevates him to a similar echelon of generational talent. Licata asserts that Judge's current performance, particularly his knack for tying games with late-inning heroics, evokes the aura of Bonds in his prime, and that if Judge can translate this regular-season dominance to a postseason breakthrough, he could carry the Yankees to a World Series title.

Sal Licata criticizes the Yankees' team structure, arguing that their primary issue lies not with individual players or manager Aaron Boone, but with the fundamental way the team is built and the front office's mindset. He believes the Yankees overvalue power and launch angle, leading to a lack of balanced "baseball players" who can hit for average, run, field, and throw. Licata highlights a deficiency in player development and a belief within the organization that they are better than they are, often relying on numbers instead of observation, which has led to a cycle of expecting different results from the same flawed approach. He expresses frustration over the team's historical inability to make necessary adjustments to their roster construction, citing examples like the Giancarlo Stanton acquisition and the failure to trade prospects when their value was highest.

Sal Licata is questioning the New York Yankees' true World Series contention, despite their ability to make the postseason. He argues that the organization's consistent failures, stemming from an over-reliance on analytics, poor player development, and playing players out of position, hinder their ability to be a fundamentally sound, championship-caliber team like those seen prior to 2009. While acknowledging their offensive power, Licata believes the Yankees lack the balanced, disciplined play necessary for consistent deep playoff runs and ultimate World Series victory.

Sal Licata unleashed a fiery tirade against the New York Yankees, not just for another painful loss to the Blue Jays, but for their systemic failures in playing "the game the right way." He lambasted the organization for continually fielding players out of position, highlighting the egregious example of Ben Rice catching despite not being a catcher, and questioning the continued presence of underperforming veterans like DJ LeMahieu and the team's overall reliance on analytics over common sense. Licata's frustration boiled over as he dissected the Yankees' inability to correct long-standing issues, asserting that their consistent postseason appearances mask a deep-seated problem of sloppy baseball and a lack of accountability from management, ultimately calling for a fundamental shift in how the team is constructed and coached.

In this engaging conversation, the boys chat with Alec from Palette Knife and discuss a variety of topics ranging from their recent culinary experiences to the intricacies of music production and the evolution of the emo genre. They delve into the challenges of touring, the importance of physical media in music, and the creative process behind their upcoming album. The discussion highlights the vibrant DIY music scene and the camaraderie among bands, as well as the significance of storytelling in music. Alec shares insights into their live performances and the unique sound they aim to capture in their new record, while also reflecting on the changing landscape of music consumption and promotion in the digital age.Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

Coffee. We love it so much! However, in spite of our love for coffee, we have all been burned by taking in just a little too much caffeine as we sip, cup, and enjoy.

In a segment of his sports talk radio show, Sal Licata discusses various New York sports topics. He begins with a humorous anecdote from a caller named Hank, who expresses frustration that his second cousin, actor Ben Stiller, won't attend a Knicks game with him. Licata then transitions to the Mets' announcement of an "Alumni Classic" game, essentially an Old Timers' Day under a new name, featuring over 40 former Mets players. He expresses enthusiasm for the event, particularly highlighting players like Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran. The conversation then shifts to the Knicks, with a caller named Alan advocating for Mark Jackson as the team's next head coach, believing he's more relatable to modern players than Jeff Van Gundy. Alan also expresses optimism for the New York Jets' upcoming season. Licata, however, dismisses Mark Jackson as a serious candidate for the Knicks coaching job, citing his past issues with the Warriors and lack of subsequent coaching opportunities.

Sal Licata is unequivocally thrilled with the New York Mets' performance, particularly highlighting Juan Soto's resurgence, happiness, and fan engagement as key indicators of the team's success. He firmly believes the Mets have surpassed the Dodgers in current standing and are poised for continued improvement, even suggesting fans should vote Soto into the All-Star game regardless of his statistics. Conversely, Licata is highly critical of the Knicks' decision to fire Tom Thibodeau, viewing it as a misguided and risky move that could destabilize the franchise, arguing that there isn't a readily available and definitively better coaching option to justify such a change.

Sal Licata passionately asserts his strong opinions on the New York Knicks' recent decision to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau. He delves into the potential ramifications for the team, emphasizing the critical importance of the next coaching hire given the alleged player unhappiness with assistant coach Rick Brunson (Jalen Brunson's father) and the need to keep superstar Jalen Brunson content. Licata advocates strongly for Jeff Van Gundy or, as a secondary option, Jason Kidd, citing their experience and familiarity with the New York market as crucial for a team aiming for a championship within a narrow window.
