This is the Michael K show podcast. Listen live weekday after noon starting at 255 on 98.7 ESPN in New York the ESPN app the two men app or on your smart speaker.

Hey Alexa play 98 7 ESPN this is the tie butler show. The Mets are in last place. They are seven and a half games back of a playoff spot.

They started the month of June three and a half games back of the brains right now they're 18 and a half games back.

Is this the biggest flop in New York sports at least recent history? You would say the big three nets that Katie Kyrie hard and failed experiment.

The Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett chasing Terry Trade that was a Billy King special the old four Yankees blowing a three nothing lead to the Red Sox rangers this year right?

All in at the deadline with Tara Sanco and Patrick Kane and you didn't even win a playoff series. You lost to the devils in round one but and none of that to me compares to what we're watching with the Mets.

Well how pathetic is that? This is the tie butler show on 98.7 ESPN.

Tie butler in for Michael Don and Peter going up to six o'clock right here in 98 7 ESPN. We're taking your calls right now in the Yankees.

They just beat the Orioles eight to three at the stadium. But before we get there are eight to four I should say before we get there.

I just want to quickly update the Mets who are out in Arizona. So shirts are gives up a homerun in the bottom of the first inning.

The Mets in the top of the fourth get a three run shot off the bat of Starling Marta. I welcome say because he was so important to them last year.

Since that injury has not been the same player but a big three run shot as the Mets look to beat the Diamondbacks who are 15 games over 500 the Mets have won two straight games so a little bit of a win streak.

I still think they're cooked. I would love to see them avoid that fake rally that has Billy Epler and Cohen entice to want to actually become buyers at the deadline because they think that this team could

improve and make a run. What you need is that the 2016 Yankees situation where customers like reveal yourself in the Yankees got swept by the rays and then started trading every one away.

I don't know that the Mets have valuable pieces to trade away. Maybe David Robertson, Adam on a Vino, Tommy Femme, whatever like you're not going to get a significant return for any of the guys that they have available.

Peter Lanzo would would net you the most back but you're obviously not training him but it's just that the circumstances that they find themselves in 360 million dollar payroll and you might be a seller at the deadline is just such a face palm embarrassment but we'll continue to talk about the Mets.

We're talking about a team that actually wins baseball game is and that's the New York Yankees eight to four the final score at home against the Orios and Orios team that came in with the third best record in baseball.

The Yankees right now improves to 13 and 13 sans Aaron judge who actually spoke to the media today and he said that you know an option was to have surgery that would have knocked him out for the season.

He has no interest in doing that so he's gearing up he's hitting off of a tee there's still some pain in discomfort when he comes back it's going to be about pain tolerance and nursing.

What's going to be an injury that's going to last the duration of the season so it looks like he's going to try to wear some protective padding in his shoe that I help him but you know he's not full on running yet he's not able to plant that leg on swings so it has me feeling angst and nervous because I really don't know what to expect from him when he gets back now 70% of Aaron judge is better than most of baseball.

So you have the opportunity to get back the reigning American League MVP and it's something that you obviously sign up for and you take I'm just nervous because.

We've put so much pressure on him and it's a survey pressure when you're making 40 million dollars a year and you're the captain there's pressure that comes with that but the pressure to me that comes from well just play 500.
