Summary
Craig Carton and Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle kick off the show diving into a heated debate: did the New York Mets just disrespect their own fans? After moving their game time due to cold weather, the Mets offered fans replacement tickets but is it really generosity or just the law? Meanwhile, the New York Yankees stand firm, trusting their fans to tough it out in classic April baseball conditions.

| 0:17.0 | Obviously, you got Johnny Harbaugh talking to the media about an hour or so maybe a couple hours ago. |
| 0:22.5 | And does not make giant fans in this building all that happy, it seems. |
| 0:26.4 | People are crying. |
| 0:27.4 | People are throwing donuts out. |
| 0:29.1 | People are upset. |
| 0:30.7 | People in the building are like, oh, my God, this joint team's going to stink. |
| 0:34.8 | But I don't know how you take all that out of a simple press conference, which he said, |
| 0:39.7 | I think Dexter Lawrence is going to be a giant this year. |
| 0:41.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:42.1 | In any event, good afternoon, Big Mac. |
| 0:43.5 | How are you? |
| 0:43.9 | I'm doing well, Craig. How are you? I'm great. That's not the lead today. No. The lead today, of course, is the New York Mets moving their game up to 4 o'clock |

I was talking about yesterday I said to you. I know. It doesn't look like rain. Doesn't look like snow. Yeah. Like they're moving it for cold. And I want to be clear yesterday I was like at least they told people a full day and had two days because it's tomorrow's game also in advance.
