Summary

Jared comes in hot in today's episode and declares that he wants to be the new face of cigarettes in America. Dallas and Joey don't think he can pull it off. The Baltimore Orioles are on fire and are chasing down the Yankees for the best record in baseball. It's a miracle that Javy Báez and Amir Garret haven't fought yet as they had yet another loud discussion over the weekend. Max Scherzer is returning for the Mets tonight and when you couple that with the news of Jacob DeGrom feeling "100%," the Mets seem to be in a pretty good spot. Joey doesn't think their returns will help the Mets much. More in Part 2!
