BT & Sal dive into a hypothetical (but fiery!) discussion about Pete Alonso wearing a Yankees uniform. While acknowledging reports that the Yankees have no interest in the Polar Bear, Sal argues that a move for Alonso would be a smart piece of a necessary "restructuring" for the Yankees—specifically, by trading Giancarlo Stanton and replacing his power and DH slot with an everyday first baseman and DH option in Pete. The conversation gets personal as they debate the emotional fallout for Mets fans if their franchise slugger jumped to the hated Yankees. Sal asserts that his hatred for the Yankees would "usurp" any affection for Pete, but Hoff and Sal debate where Mets fans would draw the line. The segment also touches on the frustrating lack of development and hype surrounding Yankees prospects like Jasson Dominguez and Mets prospect Carson Benge.
BT & Sal dive deep into the Mets' offseason strategy, debating whether GM David Stearns can balance his restrained management style with Steve Cohen's massive checkbook. Sal insists the Mets need at least two top-tier starting pitchers and a major offensive change, while Tierney questions Stearns' hesitation on re-signing Pete Alonso, urging an aggressive, take-it-or-leave-it offer. The guys clash with callers over Alonso's value and debate potential free-agent fits like Bregman, Bichette, and Schwarber. The discussion explodes with an explosive report that Pirates ace Paul Skenes is "hoping for a trade" to the Yankees. The hosts emphatically agree that New York must give up "whatever it takes," including beloved young starter Clarke Schlittler, to acquire the transcendent, under-control superstar pitcher. They argue that Skenes' long-term control makes him the ultimate prize and a transformational trade target.
Gio reminded Mets fans they can't gloat—their team didn't even make the playoffs. Jazz talked big, blew a huge play, Daboll got dubbed “the munchkin man,” and the crew fielded possibly the dumbest call ever.

We started the hour with the Mets situation and lots of callers seem to be angry at Steve Cohen, with one caller wanting the Wilpons back.
In a heated segment, BT and Sal dissect the Mets' recent struggles and what it means for the fan base. Sal confesses to removing his Juan Soto "fathead" from his home broadcast setup, a symbolic act representing his shift from cautious optimism to stark realism about the team's playoff chances. The hosts discuss how the Mets, once seemingly heating up at the right time, are now on a six-game losing streak, pushing fans from a hopeful mindset to a more dire, "disaster-avoidance" perspective. They argue that the team's inconsistent play is testing the patience of even the most die-hard fans and that a home series against the Rangers is a must-win to salvage any hope for a postseason run.
Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata tore into the Mets after their sweep in Philadelphia, questioning whether the players have any fight left. They lamented the team's "lifeless" performance after a promising start in the final game, saying the Mets look like a "dead team walking" and that it's "unacceptable" for a team with their payroll to be collapsing. The hosts also discussed the Yankees' big win against the Tigers, giving their NFL Week 2 best bets, and analyzed the surprising news about Anthony Volpe's injury and the Yankees' handling of it.

Evan thinks the Mets will run the clock out and make it, but the masses disagree
In today's call of the day, a frantic Mets fan named Dave calls in to express his frustration over the team's "mental breakdowns," comparing them to other recent New York sports collapses. Sal quickly calls out the fan, noting the team is currently in a playoff spot and that the fan is the one having a "mental breakdown" by worrying so much about a team that is winning. The heated exchange perfectly captures the difference in perspective between a frustrated fan and a more measured, realistic analyst.

JP, a loyal but livid listener, rips into the Mets' "piss poor performance" in a fiery email, unleashing a torrent of frustrations that includes an "anti-clutch gene," overpaid players like Brandon Nimmo, and an offense that's just "mid at best." Evan and Rico dissect the fan's points, challenging some of his claims while agreeing with others, as they try to make sense of a team that's lost six one-run games during a single stretch and seems more interested in playing golf in October than competing.

Sal delivered a passionate monologue urging Mets fans to relax, arguing that their panic over a recent losing streak is unwarranted. He acknowledged the team's struggles but reminded the audience that they're still well above .500, in a playoff spot, and only two and a half games out of first place. Sal defended the team's talent, specifically its "core" of Lindor, Soto, and Alonso, and stressed that fans need to trust that these players will eventually perform to their potential. While other teams like the Giants and Jets are facing tough outlooks, Sal's faith in the Mets' ability to overcome their current inconsistency and be a contender in October remains unshaken. The episode, which included an appearance from Mike Francesa, also touched on other topics from football to a potential golf outing, the Naked Gun movie, and even his own domestic issues, all delivered with his characteristic fiery and confident style.
Sal told Mets fans to pump the brakes on their panic, reminding them that despite a frustrating losing streak, the team is still comfortably in a playoff spot and only a couple of games out of first place. He argued that it's just a rough patch, not a sign that the entire season is lost. Sal reiterated his belief in the team's core of Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Pete Alonso, stating that they will eventually get things turned around. The fiery host insisted that the pieces are in place and that the time for a full-blown meltdown is not now, but perhaps in October if the team fails to deliver.

Boomer says the Mets will have to move on from at least one of the young infielders eventually.
Brandon Tierney unleashes a rant, questioning Mets fans who would root for the Phillies over the Yankees, especially with the division race heating up. He argues that true Mets loyalty demands rooting for the Yankees to hurt the Phillies' playoff chances, even if it means momentarily setting aside the Mets-Yankees rivalry.
Brandon Tierney's dives into the controversial idea of Mets fans rooting against the Yankees, even when it might benefit their own team, highlighting the deep-seated rivalry. Then, Tierney pivots to the Jets, praising Justin Fields' leadership, particularly his gritty return to the practice field after an injury scare, as a potential sign of a long-awaited culture change for the franchise.

Follow along as Kevin Clancy (aka KFC Barstool) and Clem (aka The Clem Report) battle through another season with The New York Mets.
