The show is not scripted.

I mean, I plan stuff out in terms of what to talk about, but no.

I could feel you like almost stuck. You're like, it's a playoff. Wait a second. What am I going to say here? All right, game's thanks. I mean, Thursday. Let's go. Evan, I'm going to fix this for you. It's an elimination Thursday. Oh, you like that better? Much better. quicker to the point.

It's a

Send the Hawks

Packin' Thursday.

We could have

the Hawks and Mets

both eliminated

from the playoffs today. It's close. We'll get to the Knicks a little bit later on and also the Yankees because today you don't even know this. I don't know if John even knows this. Today is actually a big decision date for the New York Yankees that we'll address a little bit later

on. But I was watching a MEC game last night and I did something that very few people did.

I did something that you Tiki Barber didn't do, you Sean Morash didn't do, Boomer and Gio didn't

do. Nobody did. I don't think anybody did it in this town except for about 612 people. And you know what

that is? What's that? I watched every second and every pitch of last night's met loss by a final score of 14 to 2. I watched it all. Yeah, you wanted to feel the pain? It wasn't just the pain I wanted to feel. I have a lot of thoughts. Was it cathartic? Did you feel better after you did this? I don't feel better, but at some point you already conceded loss. I'm dead. Well, yeah. I think when the seven runs scored in the fourth inning, I conceded the loss. So no, I wasn't watching the game with the hope of the miracle comeback. I was just watching the game. I was going through the motions. Right. I'm scoring it. I'm just going to finish the job.

And as I'm watching this game, this just horrific final six innings, because again, the game was over in the fourth inning, especially when Brady House at the Grand Slam, had a lot of brain thoughts. And you tell me if this is cathartic, and I want Mets. You tell me of what I'm about to tell you makes you feel better. because it may, it may not make it feel better.

I have no idea.

But it's an observation I made about the Mets that is very tough to argue. I think David Sterns did a terrible job. We've set it out nauseam now for the last few weeks, blah, blah, blah. I think if the Mets brought back Pete Alonzo and the Mets bought back Brandon Nimmo and they basically just redid the core of the roster, I think they'd still suck.

Like, I think the Mets sucked no matter what they did unless it's something no one can imagine.

Why?

What makes you say that?

I'll tell you why. Thank you, too. Because there's so many games that I think, even though Pete's having a tough start in Baltimore to this season, he helps you win those games because he's at least got three home runs or four home runs at this point. I would even assume that if Pete came back, he wouldn't be struggling the way he's been struggling, because I don't think there would be the adjustment that he's dealing with right now in Baltimore. So I'm even saying that under the assumption Pete's playing well. And Brandon Nimmo, and you guys obviously got to see him the last few days. He left with a hamstring injury. Hopefully it's not too bad. He's claiming it's not too bad. We saw him the last few days in the Yankee Ranger series. Here's why they would have sucked either way. And maybe this is cathartic for some. You tell me. Did you watch David Peterson last night? I did. We have for the last four starts. Okay. Do you think he's on our fantasy team, Sean? I think it might be time. I was going to say not after today. Do you think Pete Alonzo and Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nemo and Edwin Diaz would have made any difference on the fact that

David Peterson sucks? No. Not yesterday. Okay, cool. Let's keep going. Sean Manaya is making
