If the Mets miss the playoffs it will be one of the most disappointing seasons, and maybe the most disappointing, in their history. Losing is contagious and the Mets feel like they have some sort of loser virus infecting the team. The season is turning into a nightmare.

Gio is not nearly as optimistic about the Giants and Jets as Jerry is.

Gio and Jerry are back from California and they want to discuss the trip but have to start with last night's Mets debacle. They both woke up and couldn't believe the Mets blew a 6-0 lead. They are surprised and disappointed that David Peterson fell apart in the 4th inning. The Mets are drawing big crowds and playing poorly. The pitching staff has been among the worst in baseball lately. Neither of them can believe how far the Mets have fallen the last two months. Gio doesn't believe they will go on a run and wonders where it ends with the pitching staff. The Mets need a good start from Kodai Senga tonight but Jerry isn't counting on it.

Gio and Jerry try but fail to feel better about the Mets' struggles.

A caller wants Jeremy Hefner fired. Gio says it could happen after the season but Jerry would put the blame on the players and David Stearns before Hefner.

The Yankees had a frustrating loss. They couldn't hit Twins ace Joe Ryan and Gio and Jerry agree that it feels like déjà vu for the Yankees offense. Gio thinks Aaron Boone will be fired if the Yankees miss the playoffs but Jerry is not so sure.

Gio and Jerry begin the hour sharing details of their trip to Pebble Beach. It lived up to the hype and exceeded expectations. Gio enjoyed spending time with the show crew. C-Lo returns for an update but first Gio and Jerry tell him about their golf games at Pebble Beach.
