The Mets keep inventing new ways to lose, the Phillies can't find consistency, and the Yankees look shaky in the field. The crew debates whether Soto has been worth the money, why Bobby Abreu comparisons sting, and how managers like Terry Francona can tilt playoff races.On the gridiron, Dan and Frank predict the NFC division outcomes, spar with each other over the Cowboys' disarray (injuries, Jerry Jones drama, and Micah Parsons' contract standoff), and discuss why Week 1 against Philadelphia could get ugly. Preseason football gets its due, do breakout performances really matter?, and college football news makes waves as Michigan's sign-stealing scandal fizzles into light penalties.The episode wraps with Dan's rant against Mike Florio's claim that the NFL “favors the Chiefs,” breaking down why suspension appeals, not conspiracies, explain Rashee Rice's situation.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

When it is a thousand degrees outside, Elly gets sick on the field and then homers, and we just stay in the air conditioning and curse climate change. Geaux Tigers! Congrats to LSU on their College World Series win, fair and square, unlike the suspicious victory in the Jello Shot Challenge for charity (we're looking at you, Paul and Livy). The Dodgers just have so much going on trying to overcome the bad press about staying mum as the city burns.  They are donating a million dollars, but for what exactly? Did they prevent ICE from entering the ballpark grounds? Nezza disregards the directive and sings the anthem in Spanish. And still no other players speak out. Terry Francona continues to charm, and Harry Caray's grandson reminds us to keep the L in “flag.” Manny inspires Andy to greatness and a new nickname. Woody keeps topping out at 451' homers. Cal Raleigh is quietly shattering records. A horrific foul ball to the dugout incident brings a ballpark together, and we wish Hunter Bigge a full recovery. Please let it cool off before Pride Night in Baltimore.We say,  “When Big Papi calls, you answer,” “no projectiles, no fists,” and “when it's done with jello shots, is it really fraud?”  Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Hour 2 of Baskin and Phelps

Off the Bench Is Going on Haitus. We will return for the Football Season and be back better than ever!   On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds triumphed over the Cleveland Guardians with a 7-4 victory at Progressive Field, securing the Ohio Cup for the first time since 2014. The Reds, led by manager Terry Francona, unleashed an offensive barrage, amassing 16 hits. Jake Fraley shone with three hits, including a home run, while TJ Friedl also went yard, boosting the team's morale. Wade Miley delivered a solid pitching performance, and Pagan sealed the win with a strong close. This victory marked the Reds' fourth straight win, improving their record to 34-33 and pushing them above .500 for the first time since May 19. The Ohio Cup, a symbol of Buckeye State bragging rights, was clinched after the Reds dominated the season series, including a sweep of the Guardians earlier in May. Fans celebrated the return of the trophy to Cincinnati, with social media buzzing about the team's momentum. Friedl humorously noted the cup could hold “two and a half 12-ounce Coors Lights,” adding a lighthearted touch to the achievement. This win signals the Reds' growing confidence as they aim to close the 6.5-game gap behind the NL Central-leading Cubs. On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals released linebacker Germaine Pratt, a team captain and their 2024 leading tackler with 143 tackles. The move, reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, saves $5.6-$5.9 million in 2025 cap space but incurs $2.3 million in dead money. Pratt, a 2019 third-round pick, requested a trade in February after defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's departure, signaling discontent with the new scheme under Al Golden. His release, following a career-high season with two interceptions and two forced fumbles, weakens a defense already criticized for allowing 30+ points against top offenses in 2024. The Bengals aim to replace Pratt with younger talent, including second-round pick Demetrius Knight Jr. and fourth-rounder Barrett Carter, alongside free agent Oren Burks. However, transitioning to rookies risks inexperience at a critical position, potentially exacerbating defensive struggles. Fans on X expressed dismay, fearing a further decline in defensive performance, while some see Pratt landing with Anarumo's Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals' shift to youth and speed, as noted by director Duke Tobin, prioritizes long-term flexibility but may hinder immediate competitiveness in a tough AFC North.
