We got a lot to talk about.

We certainly will talk about the Yankees' dramatic win last night, right? They played a good team, I was told. Oh, no. That was actually over the weekend when they got their asses kicked by the Boston Red Sox three out of four games. So last night, for me, as a Yankee fan, they did what they're supposed to do. They've done what they've done all year. They beat up on bad teams. They're bullies, for lack of a better description. When they start beating good teams, I will start to get sucked back in. If there are some takeaways from last night, I want to hit, and then I certainly want to get to the Mets. We've got a lot of football news to cover on the show today as well. If there is a takeaway from last night, how could you not be at least cautiously optimistic? they might have found a real big-time pitcher in Cam Schlittler going forward.

Second consecutive scoreless outing.
