Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a loaded night for New York sports, with the Mets pulling out a chaotic extra innings win, the Yankees surviving a tense finish against Toronto, and Knicks fans counting down to a massive Eastern Conference finals game.

The conversation centers on whether the Mets’ recent surge is something real or simply a fun hot streak, why their young players have made the team more watchable, and how much trust Yankee fans should place in David Bednar after another high wire ninth inning.

And the Mets are on a youth binge. Yeah. Because now they're bringing up Nick Moribito. That's right. on base pass, and Juan Soto can stop playing defense

0:54.8

and just focus on being a D.H to get your ass in gear. I mean, you feel good. That's why you're saying that. Meanwhile, on Sunday, it's going to be 60 degrees. Well, that's Sunday, okay? I mean, I don't know what Sunday holds. I don't even know what Friday holds. I know what today holds. and Sean points this out in my earphone, I apologize,

NHO playoffs last night. Yeah, overtime. Congrats to the Montreal Canadian. Congratulations.

Who was playing? The Buffalo Sabres pulled the Buffalo Bills and lost dramatically.

1:23.7

And you have to forgive me and maybe forgive a lot of the audience. Between the craziness of the MEC game, the craziness of the Yankee game and San Antonio, Oklahoma City, like the Western Conference Finals we'll see probably for the next 10 years.

in the NHL last night or vice versa. Maybe that consumed so much and there was no room for the Wembe show last night in Oklahoma City. But last night was truly awesome. So I give you the choice.

2:16.8

Oh, by the way, Nick fans were doing that last night because you're so thirsty for basketball, they haven't played in a week and a half, that you're glued to thunder spurs. And there's no doubt in the back of your mind, or maybe the front of your mind, you're game planning. All right, how do we stop one day? Exactly.
