For Mets and Braves fans, you remember the Fourth of July, 1985, because of the strangest game maybe ever played in baseball history. We are joined this week by Ron Darling who pitched in that game for the New York Mets. Extra innings, fireworks at four in the morning, lots of rain and even more hits. We break down the box score of this game and take you there via Darling who came in to pitch at roughly three in the morning. These are the type of interviews we LOVE. Ron Darling is currently a broadcaster for the New York Mets, and we thank him so much for yucking it up about a game that happened forty years ago on July 4th!

Ron Darling joined Baskin and Phelps to preview the Guardians' upcoming series against the Cubs in Chicago. He talked about why the Guardians have been struggling to win games and how they can get back on track, as well as why it's too early in the season to give up hopes on a deep playoff run. He also discussed Jose Ramirez' popularity not only in Cleveland, but around Major League Baseball.

Hour 3 of Baskin and Phelps

The Mets got swept by the Pirates and were outscored 30-4. Boomer said you know the team is bad when Ron Darling is talking about ice cream sandwiches. They had a players only meeting on Saturday night that did not work. We talked about the Mets payroll and how that payroll only scored 4 runs. Carlos Mendoza got tossed from a game hoping that would help. It didn't. Because of the payroll, ‘Somebody's ass has got to be held accountable', according to Boomer.

Ron Darling, commentator for the New York Mets on SNY, talks about all things Mets with Evan and Tiki.

Both the Yankees and Mets are hot, building excitement for potential September playoff pushes; the Yankees' post-Juan Soto additions are thriving, while Mets pitching is so strong a caller doesn't want Sean Manaea back from injury. Boomer expects the Braves to heat up but notes Phillies' injuries. In other news, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns on Twitch, leading to a discussion about "code switching" and whether New Jersey is a "tiny" state. The Yankees beat the Royals with an Aaron Judge homer, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to a David Peterson complete game and two Brandon Nimmo home runs, though Pete Alonso getting hit again angered Ron Darling.

Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

Finally, Mike Tannenbaum predicted Aaron Rodgers would be irrelevant by Thanksgiving, and Rodgers recently got married privately.

Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees are on a roll, with David Peterson throwing a complete game for the Mets. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues to flounder, with rejections from candidates like Jason Kidd and public criticism from Charles Barkley. Elsewhere, the U.S. Open starts today, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Thunder, and an anonymous player poll named Juan Soto the hitter pitchers least want to face in a World Series Game 7.

Jerry's final update included the Pacers' 2-1 lead over the Thunder, the Yankees' victory over the Royals (5 runs in the second), and the Mets' shutout of the Nationals, featuring a David Peterson complete game and homers from Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo. Joe Flacco found it hard to believe adults use TikTok. The "Moment of The Day" was a funny caller interaction with Jerry, and Boomer is out tomorrow for a Maryland quarterback event.

What really happened behind closed doors when Juan Soto joined the Mets? Scott Boras pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest moves of the offseason, sharing how Soto ended up in New York, how he handled the intense backlash during his return to Yankee Stadium, and what role the Red Sox played in trying to sign him. Boras also weighs in on the Red Sox landing Alex Bregman and whether Bregman's MVP-level performance could reshape his future in Boston. Tom and Alex take a hard look at the Red Sox as they enter a tough series against the Mets. With the pitching staff struggling, is this just an injury issue or something more serious? Where does Tanner Houck fit in once he returns from the injured list? Rafael Devers hit his first career walk-off home run over the weekend. Has his power surge ended the debate about moving him to first base? And what does it mean that Kristian Campbell is now getting reps at that position? Tom Caron also chats with former Mets pitcher Ron Darling about growing up in Massachusetts, his early love for baseball, and what makes Kodai Senga such a threat on the mound. Alex shares a story about Darling from his childhood and opens up about what he might be doing today if he weren't covering the game.

Send us a text#Angels in first place is something we did not expect. Mike Trout leading the #AL in homers is not as shock but that he has 6 HRs and 10 hits is at least surprising!  The #Tigers are in 1st place as are #Yankees, #Padres, #Cubs w #Mets & #Phillies tied for 1st place in the #NLEast as of Sunday morning. Justin Steele may have an injury to his elbow that could change the Cubs fortunes. #Giants Wilmer Flores also has 6 HRs. #Mets Pete Alonso is off to a raging start which is good since many of the other hitters on the team are still not in full gear. Since we are avid Mets fans we put them first in our round up of all 30 teams best five starting pitchers in franchise history. We will do this periodically through the 2025 season. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Ron calls in to talk to BT & Sal about the Mets first game at Citi.

In the best of Boomer & Gio this week, we react to the St. Johns exit in the NCAA Tournament; Giants get their QB in Russell Wilson; Deion Sanders engages in a social media spat with Asante Samuel; Boomer takes heat for hot take on Juan Soto; SNY's Ron Darling joins to get us ready for the baseball season

Gio heard something from an overnight caller that actually made him think. It involved Juan Soto not believing in Pete Alonso so he swung at a pitch he shouldn't have in the ninth inning in a clutch spot. Boomer was texting Ron Darling during the game, and Gio said Gary Cohen probably doesn't like that. Gio also wonders if Gary likes Boomer or not.

A late-night caller sparked Gio's contemplation about Juan Soto's ninth-inning strikeout, suggesting it stemmed from a lack of faith in Pete Alonso. Boomer's mid-game texts to Ron Darling drew Gio's curiosity about Gary Cohen's potential feelings. C-Lo's update highlighted Devin Williams's shaky Yankees debut, Dave Sims's subway commute, and BT and Sal's Aaron Boone interview, where they debated Judge's batting order. The focus returned to Soto's crucial at-bat and post-game comments, followed by Carlos Mendoza's analysis. A brief detour covered Texas Tech's Elite 8 appearance. Finally, Gio's upcoming bartending gig and new CBS Sports sneakers led to a discussion about baseball's "needle movers," with Boomer excluding Soto, while Gio strongly disagreed.

Hour 1 MLB's opening day was marred by app streaming issues, overshadowing Juan Soto's crucial ninth-inning strikeout for the Mets. Conversely, the Yankees enjoyed a smoother start with Austin Wells's early home run and a successful, albeit eventful, outing from Devin Williams. Off-air drama ensued as Boomer recounted a parking dispute with C-Mac, who later defended himself. C-Lo finally delivered his update, featuring Keith McPherson's hoarse post-game reaction to the Yankees and Evan Roberts's critique of Soto's performance on the Rico Brogna podcast. Hour 2 A late-night caller sparked Gio's contemplation about Juan Soto's ninth-inning strikeout, suggesting it stemmed from a lack of faith in Pete Alonso. Boomer's mid-game texts to Ron Darling drew Gio's curiosity about Gary Cohen's potential feelings. C-Lo's update highlighted Devin Williams's shaky Yankees debut, Dave Sims's subway commute, and BT and Sal's Aaron Boone interview, where they debated Judge's batting order. The focus returned to Soto's crucial at-bat and post-game comments, followed by Carlos Mendoza's analysis. A brief detour covered Texas Tech's Elite 8 appearance. Finally, Gio's upcoming bartending gig and new CBS Sports sneakers led to a discussion about baseball's "needle movers," with Boomer excluding Soto, while Gio strongly disagreed. Hour 3 Boomer's MLB "needle movers" list sparked heated debate, with callers criticizing the omission of Juan Soto and even Derek Jeter. Gio emphasized Soto's impact, citing increased Mets ticket sales. C-Lo's update featured Dave Sims's call of an Anthony Volpe home run, Devin Williams's composure, and Aaron Boone's in-game interview difficulties. The focus shifted back to Soto's crucial strikeout and Evan Roberts's post-game analysis. Gio then questioned the Jets and Giants' current "needle mover" status. The hour concluded with discussion of Fox canceling Derek Jeter's Pat McAfee interview, seemingly due to network rivalry, and a caller's inquiry about temporary "needle movers" like Jeremy Lin. Hour 4 The Knicks' playoff potential took center stage, with Boomer questioning their ability to compete against top teams like Boston. April's sports excitement was debated against October's, leading to a tangent on NFL kickoffs and comparisons of Shedeur Sanders to Dak Prescott. Deion Sanders's search for a team criticizing his son was mentioned, with Josina Anderson hinting at a "top 7 drafting team." C-Lo's final update featured Yankees highlights and Keith McPherson's hoarse post-game commentary, followed by Howie Rose's call of Soto's strikeout. Gio's CBS Sports sneaker display was highlighted as the Moment of the Day. The show concluded with a discussion of MLB app streaming issues and the cost of SNY.

Mets fans will know Mackey Sasser from his time with the Mets in the late 80s and early 90s catching for guys like Ron Darling, Doc Gooden and David Cone. What they may not have known was that Mackey went out of his way to help TJ Rivera get a shot with the organization and earn his spot in the big leagues after going undrafted. The two reflect on their relationship and tell the tale of this unlikely story that will make you feel good and remember to always work hard and good things can happen!

Our old boss, Spike Eskin, works at WIP in Philly now and he said he wants to end all of our fun with the Mets. Philadelphia has an inferiority complex when it comes to NY. A caller said he listened to Milwaukee sports radio just to hear their sad fans. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Howie Rose on the call as Pete Alonso hit his 3-run HR. Bob Costas and Ron Darling will call the Yankees series. Costas was not great the last time he did this. Jerry has postgame sound from Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Carlos Mendoza. When Evan Roberts watched the HR, ‘a tear popped out of my eye'. We heard from Aaron Rodgers who went from the airport to the podium in London. The Moment of The Day: The Barstool livestream for the Mets looks like the bar in Star Wars according to Gio. In the final segment of the week, our week 5 NFL picks!

The Mets are in the playoffs after an amazing game 1 yesterday against the Braves. Boomer was on the golf course as he was watching the game and Boomer kept texting Ron Darling complaining about Edwin Diaz. Boomer said he felt like a little kid again. Boomer is ‘irked' at all the stolen bases the Mets are giving up. He is ‘irked' by the lack of attention to detail. If Pete Alonso has a massive offseason, everyone will forget about this past regular season. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets win in Atlanta with Howie Rose on the calls. We heard from Steve Cohen on the ‘rollercoaster' of a game. Evan and Tiki did a watch party yesterday and Jerry has the audio. RIP to Pete Rose and Dikembe Mutombo. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls from happy Mets fans.

We talked about all the Mets players that had great years. Boomer is taking stock of the regular season performance. Hour 2 We start off the hour with a caller who said it's a little too late for Gio to consider himself ‘the #1 Mets fan'. Gio said Mets fans are becoming close to the most annoying in town because of their inferiority complex. The callers are trying to say Gio is not a real Mets fan. A caller cannot believe Mets fans are being negative after the best regular season win in history. Jerry returns for an update and starts with audio from a few months ago when the Mets had no hits in 13 innings and Gary Cohen said, ‘it feels like rock bottom'. And then Jerry turns to yesterday and has Cohen on the call as the Mets beat the Braves in dramatic fashion. Jerry has the sound from the postgame party. Frank The Tank reacted to the Mets comeback win and the Dolphins loss. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls from happy Mets fans. One said he had not talked to his brother in 5 years but they texted yesterday about the Mets and how baseball brings people together. Hour 3 Yesterday Boomer said Aaron Rodgers doesn't respect Rob Saleh as a head coach and it was picked up by a lot of media outlets. Rodgers will be on with McAfee today and we're sure he'll be asked about this. He will probably diffuse it and say people are looking too much into body language. Boomer said, this is what losing does to a team. A caller asked if Boomer hung with Ja Rule yesterday, but Ja Rule missed his flight and wasn't at the golf tournament. A caller wonders who the Mets will use as a closer if needed today. They said, Jose Butto.
