Summary

John Franco was spotted behind home plate last night with Matt Harvey—neither rocking Yankees gear, which Gio says would have rubbed him the wrong way. Gio can’t help but wonder: does Eddie hate the Yankees more than he loves the Mets?

Yankees win even this series up at a game apiece, game three tonight at Yankee Stadium.

0:05.8

This hour will give you instructions on how to win tickets, a pair of tickets to tonight's

0:10.0

game at the stadium. So John Franco, who, I mean, I don't think there's anybody and I, we know John.

0:18.1

I would consider John a friend, have had, you've had been around John socially a number of times.

0:24.3

But no one loves free tickets more than John Franco.

0:26.9

Nobody.

0:28.0

This man loves going to games and he loves getting up on the Jumbotron and it'll go to every Yankee game.

0:34.3

We'll go to every St. John's game.

0:35.9

We'll go to Mets games and I'll put them up there and it's part of the deal and go on the Jumbotron and John, we'll go to every St. John's game, we'll go to Mets games, and they'll put them up there, and it's part of the deal, and go on the Jumbotron, and John, here you go, right? So he's sitting right behind home plate last night at the Yankee game, and he's not wearing any Mets stuff, he's just wearing like a black or maybe even like a Yankee Navy blue thing.

0:55.3

Was he sitting next to Marlins, man?

0:57.7

Close. But he's sitting next to Matt Harvey. Now, I hear Al on the warm-up show bring up that he said

1:03.1

that Matt Harvey actually had a Yankee logo on his shirt. So I'm like, that can't be.

1:10.7

So I look and initially I look at it. I say, oh, my God, he does. But then I look closer, and he does not. It looks like it at first glance. But the person who's sitting right in front of him has a Yankee hat on. And when you look at it, it looks like the logo on the Yankee hat is actually on his shirt.

1:30.0

If you look at it quick, so he was nuts.

1:31.2

That was fake news sad.

1:38.8

Matt Harvey did not have a Yankee logo on his shirt, which is really funny because we just sat here yesterday.

2:17.6

It did like a five, at least I did a five-minute dissertation why I'm not rooting against the Yankees and why it's good for us and how I don't hate them like some Mets fans. But if either one of those guys who were New York Mets and were important to me as New York Mets were there wearing Yankees stuff that would have pissed me off. That would have bothered you? I don't know why. That would have bothered me. You can't have John Franklin. Now, they didn't. They didn't. But when I heard that there was a possibility that Matt Harvey had a Yankee shirt on and a logo on sitting behind on play. I was like, what? You can't do that? That's a bridge too far because he played for the team.

3:24.2

Yeah, I don't think they would. In other words, if you saw Darrell Strawberry, obviously, because he played for the Yankees, that's a different story. Yeah, but these guys, they're not going to do that. I mean, they're aware of who they are and what they mean to the Met fan. That was close. Close call there. Yes. Like I wonder though, like if John, like I bet you they, I bet you they asked John too. Like, hey, John, you know, we'll put you down here and have these seats. Yankee hat? Yeah. Yankee shirt. Or we could put, you know, maybe there's navy blue pullover. I guarantee he thought about it. They could have been playing games on them or they would have been playing games whether a boony would have said, hey, want some swag? Yeah. And I know you, like, you're a swag guy. Love swag. You love swag. But if the swag has the wrong logo on it, you're not taking it. But what's the wrong logo? How many of those wrong logos? You're not taking a Packers logo. You're not taking it but what's the wrong logo how many of those wrong logos you're not taking a packers logo you're not taking a bear's logo you're not taking a yankees logo lion's logo i mean i it's you take some yankees logo swag i get like if lontrose sent some stuff over to us, like for free, like you'd wear it.

3:26.5

No, you wouldn't.

3:27.7

Well, we know you would.

3:31.4

Yeah, well, you know, I have my own swag.

3:32.9

I don't need swag from anybody.
