Jeff and Mark open the episode with early-season baseball energy (NCAA baseball starting, spring training nearing, and WBC chatter) before noting the passing of relief legend Elroy “Roy” Face and revisiting stories tied to Ralph Terry. They share a run of baseball oddities and news, including the White Sox adding bidets at a Japanese player's request while misspelling his locker name, Hideo Nomo sausage race, and former Yankees pitcher Kei Igawa's acting debut. They also discuss Puerto Rico WBC insurance issues, including Bad Bunny offering to cover premiums for Carlos Correa and Francisco Lindor, plus the Rangers' planned Nolan Ryan bloodied-jersey replica giveaway tied to the Bo Jackson line drive. The main feature is a career-focused tribute to recently deceased Tigers legend Mickey Lolich, from his childhood accident that helped turn him into a left-hander to his workhorse peak to his iconic 1968 World Series performance.

We've been talking to Singy for years about his golf outings and Yankees adventures so this time we went to the heart of the Cool Kids Network as Alyssa Vagnoni joins Nestor at Costas Inn in Timonium on "A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl" to discuss all of the things 20 years of helping kids cope with cancer have meant to local families. The post Alyssa Vagnoni of Cool Kids Network joins Nestor to discuss helping kids cope with cancer and legend of Ken Singleton first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
El Yoyo Morejón y El Duke Hernández conversan en La Bola Nostra sobre el venidero Clásico Mundial de Béisbol, el poderío cada vez mayor de los Dodgers de Los Angeles y la polémica temporada baja de los Yankees de Nueva York
A scary Friday the 13th story kicks things off before the conversation turns into full Jets chaos. The guys break down how whispers about Derek Carr coming out of retirement to play for the New York Jets went from sounding obvious to suddenly feeling unrealistic. After revisiting Carr's December comments and his latest clarification, the debate shifts to what he really wants, which teams actually make sense, and why the Jets keep finding themselves stuck in quarterback limbo. Plus, concern over Yankees injuries, early thoughts on a new weekly “worst take” segment, and the exhausting reality of chasing veteran QB solutions with no clear answer in sight.
Spring training brings the kind of Yankees update that always raises eyebrows as Cam Schlittler is pulled off the mound with back tightness. The guys break down why any pitching issue, even a “no big deal” one, feels different than it would for a position player, especially with the rotation already shorthanded. Is this something that simply pushes Schlittler back a turn or two, or a warning sign that keeps him off the Opening Day roster entirely? Plus, a bigger discussion on how minor setbacks for young pitchers can quietly snowball once the calendar starts moving.
A brand new weekly segment is born: “Are You Kidding Me?” where the show rounds up the dumbest sports opinions from around the station and crowns a winner. The inaugural list comes in hot. It starts with Boomer's take on an Olympic athlete feeling conflicted about representing Team USA, and a bigger debate about whether fans can say “keep politics out of sports” while still celebrating icons like Muhammad Ali. From there it gets even more ridiculous: Keith McPherson going after Luke Weaver for showing up to Mets camp with Yankees gear, Tommy's “Aaron Judge is the best right fielder in New York sports” line, and Craig Carton going full scorched earth by calling for LeBron James to be suspended for sitting out. Then it turns into a full-blown trial about what actually counts as a “real sports opinion” when Sean Morash's Brian Cashman wardrobe rant becomes the lightning rod. The crew argues, votes get disputed, and callers jump in to break the tie as the segment goes off the rails in the best way.
Evan and Tiki react to the Knicks' latest roster addition, Jeremy Sochan. After being waived by the Spurs, is the young defensive agitator the perfect "dog" for the Knicks' stretch run? The guys also settle a bet regarding Knicks fans taking over Philly with the "Jose" chant for Jose Alvarado. Then, concern grows in Yankees camp as Cam Schlittler is scratched from throwing off a mound due to back tightness. Evan and Tiki debate if the young right-hander will make the Opening Day roster and if fans would sign up for a guaranteed 94-win season. Plus: A shocking email from a Giants fan who defected to the Jets. Shaun Morash's "Cinco de Lunch Show": The Top 5 Most Useless Valentine's Day Gestures. Presidential trivia ahead of the long weekend.
C-Lo is here and starts with some Olympic hockey. Cam Schlittler is already dealing with an injury. LeBron James became the oldest player with a triple-double.
(2:35) — METS: Francisco Lindor will have surgery on his hamate bone and could miss Opening Day. (6:25) — YANKEES: Cam Schlittler is sidelined with back inflammation, and JJ reacts to IKF's comments on the Yankees. (13:41) — KNICKS: The Knicks respond to their loss against the Pacers with a blowout win over the 76ers. The team is also signing Jeremy Sochan, who was released by the Spurs. (17:21) — JETS : The Jets have shown interest in veteran quarterbacks Derek Carr and Deshaun Watson. (23:15) — CALLS: Callers talk about the Knicks and Yankees. (30:31) — JOHN FLAHERTY: “Flash” returns to the show to discuss the Yankees keeping the same roster, Devin Williams, and covering NY baseball for 20 years.

It starts with an airport shutdown in El Paso, Texas that somehow gets blamed on a party balloon and instantly spirals into aliens, cartels, spy balloons, and a full blown trust crisis. The guys break down why none of these official explanations ever feel believable anymore, especially after the Chinese spy balloon saga and the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey. From there, the conversation takes a sharp and hilarious turn into social media paranoia, targeted ads that feel way too specific, and whether our phones are definitely listening to us. That leads to an unexpected deep dive into refrigerators, how we are apparently using them wrong, and a preview of Al Dukes showing off the inside of his fridge. The segment also detours into sports culture with a great origin story of the Chiefs' shredder hats, legendary fan traditions, and a nostalgic conversation about Bob Sheppard, his iconic voice, and why his legacy still looms large in New York sports. Add in stories involving Tiki Barber, Giants memories, and classic radio tangents, and you get a perfectly chaotic hour that somehow connects aliens, appliances, and the greatest PA announcer of all time.
Cinco de Luncho returns with Shaun Morash officially unveiling his list of the five New York teams closest to winning a championship, and it goes exactly as you would expect. Shaun puts the Islanders at No. 1, drops the Knicks to No. 2, and ignites a full blown debate over playoff certainty versus championship chaos. The guys argue whether hockey randomness should outweigh NBA consistency, where the Yankees and Mets truly belong, and why everything beyond the top tier feels miles away. Knicks fans will be furious, Islanders fans will be confused, and Shaun stands his ground.

The Yankees get injury news and Craig Carton immediately EXPLODES. After hearing young pitcher Cam Schlittler has back inflammation, Carton goes OFF calling baseball players “soft” and saying football and hockey guys would NEVER miss time for this.
Yesterday Craig and C-Mac break the news that Francisco Lindor may need surgery. Today they get to share the fact that he's having surgery as we speak! Darren Lee is in big trouble, and the details that are coming out of the alleged murder he was apart of are completely disturbing.

First Take begins with Mad Dog, Chiney and Stephen A. in awe of Victor Wembanyama. Mad Dog compares him to a superstar from 50 years ago, and Stephen A. thinks the NBA is in trouble with all of these player absences. (0:00) Then, what's more likely: Seahawks win one Super Bowl, or start a dynastic run similar to the late 90's Yankees? (19:00) Next, the Knicks are too inconsistent, Pistons don't have enough scoring, Celtics are missing their superstar, Cavs employ James Harden, you don't trust the Raptors.

Spring training opens with good news for the New York Yankees. Everyone is healthy, no surprise injuries, and Aaron Boone confirms the roster is ready to go. So why is there outrage on Day One? The debate explodes when Brian Cashman arrives in a hoodie, trucker hat, and backpack. What starts as jokes about his Starbucks order turns into a full-blown argument about professionalism, comfort, and whether the Yankees' longtime GM has grown too comfortable in his role. Is criticizing Cashman's outfit fair, or does it distract from real issues like roster construction and accountability? Fans call in, tempers flare, and the show wrestles with what Yankees standards are supposed to look like in 2026.
Spring training is here, the Yankees are healthy, and it should feel like a celebration. Instead, Shaun Morash finds a way to sound the alarm, and it has nothing to do with the roster. His issue? Brian Cashman's “walk-in” look: hoodie, trucker hat, backpack, iced coffee, and a vibe that screams “too comfortable.” Evan and Tiki push back hard, debating whether this is a real red flag or just peak offseason nitpicking, while callers line up to either roast Shaun or agree the Yankees brand demands more professionalism. Plus, Evan spins the argument into a new idea: a weekly vote for the dumbest opinion on WFAN, and Shaun might already be the runaway favorite.
Evan & Tiki close out the show with a packed final hour full of New York sports drama and plenty of laughs. The guys react to Isiah Kiner-Falefa's comments about the Yankees and why players and teams seem so comfortable taking shots at the Bronx Bombers. Plus, the Luke Weaver “Yankees bag at Mets camp” controversy gets revisited and debated.
The Mets move Soto, Lindor is getting surgery, the Yankees report, and much more.

It is time for Posted & Toasted, where the crew plays a classic guessing game using old tweets and posts that feel a little too confident in hindsight. From thinking Olympic sports look way easier than they are, to wild takes about curling, luge, bobsledding, and ice skating, the guys debate which host fired off each post. The conversation drifts into winter hats worn in August, why certain things are oddly comforting, and whether anyone actually could medal in a parallel parking Olympics. Plenty of laughs, self-awareness, and classic show banter packed into one segment.
The Yankees officially chose the most polarizing path possible: run it back. With the offseason over, we rewind to November and replay everyone's original Yankees plans to see just how far off the front office went from fan expectations. From dream scenarios involving Alex Bregman, Josh Naylor, Steven Kwan, Sandy Alcantara, and bullpen reinforcements, to the reality of Cody Bellinger returning and almost nothing else changing, the gap is glaring. So what does it actually mean that nearly the entire roster is back? Is Brian Cashman betting on internal growth, better health, and fewer October failures? Or did the Yankees miss a real opportunity to raise their playoff ceiling? We break down the leadoff problem, bullpen concerns, roster stagnation, and whether believing in improvement from Volpe, Dominguez, Rice, Wells, and others is enough to justify one of the most extreme “run it back” seasons in modern Yankees history.
The conversation quickly moves past the Luke Weaver Yankees bag debate and into a much bigger question. Should the Jets even consider Deshaun Watson if he becomes available? The guys break down Watson's fall from elite quarterback to damaged asset, how the legal cloud has changed, and whether time away from the chaos could help him rediscover his game. They also explain why any Jets move, especially one this controversial, is guaranteed to be laughed at regardless of logic, context, or upside.
The final hour of Evan & Tiki opens with spring training controversy as Yankees fans erupt over Mets pitcher Luke Weaver arriving at camp with a Yankees bag, sparking a broader debate on why the Yankees get mocked more than any team in sports. The guys react to Isiah Kiner-Falefa's comments about preferring to face the Yankees in the playoffs, discuss institutionalized Yankee hate, and whether it's earned. Then the show pivots to the NFL with a deep dive into Deshaun Watson's future after his remaining lawsuits are dismissed, including a heated debate on whether the Jets should take a flier on the former elite quarterback versus pursuing Derek Carr. Calls pour in on reputation, risk, and what Jets fans are willing to tolerate. Plus, Knicks talk featuring Josh Hart's refreshing self-awareness, breaking Mets bullpen news, Justin Verlander returning to Detroit, and a critical Yankees discussion on Anthony Volpe, service time manipulation, and why fans may not see him for a while. Classic Evan & Tiki chaos to close out the show.
From 'NYYST' (subscribe here): The Run It Back ‘26 puzzle added another piece when the Yankees re-signed 1B Paul Goldschmidt. Is Brian Cashman actually right about this team? Also, is it a possibility that Jasson Dominguez starts the season in AAA?
