A Funeral for the Mets It's a funeral, my friends. That's what it is. A complete and utter disgrace. This franchise, from the owner to the players, is rotten to its core. This team is a pathetic excuse for a baseball team, a dumpster fire that's burning bright for all of New York to see. After losing 14 out of 16 games, there is no sugarcoating it anymore. The Mets are an embarrassment, and the worst team money can buy.

Joe Benigno's scorching takedown of the Mets wasn't just a critique; it was a furious, caffeine-fueled sermon delivered to the masses. With the passion of a true New York fan, he lit into every aspect of the team's woes, from a disgraceful bullpen filled with "stiffs" to the "delirious" managerial decisions. He saved his most venomous barbs for "Boy Genius" David Stearns, blaming the front office for the team's abysmal state and an inability to acquire a competent starting pitcher at the trade deadline. Benigno’s rant was a raw, unfiltered cry of disgust, perfectly capturing the agony of a fan watching his team self-destruct.

BT put the blame squarely on Mets manager Carlos Mendoza for the team's latest loss, calling out his "scared" and "gutless" managing. The critical error, according to BT, was pulling a well-pitching Kodai Senga with 93 pitches, a move that BT believes was a clear sign of a manager lacking trust and conviction. This decision, combined with Mendoza's repetitive and uninspiring postgame interviews, is symptomatic of a larger issue within the team's coaching staff, which is failing to properly lead a talented but underperforming roster.

In a conversation about Pete Alonso breaking his all-time Mets home run record, Darryl Strawberry showed his championship pedigree, focusing not on the individual accomplishment but on the importance of winning. Strawberry insisted that while records are nice, they are ultimately hollow without championships. He passionately recalled the "hate to lose" mentality of the 1986 Mets and urged the current team to adopt that same fierce, competitive spirit to deliver a winner for the long-suffering fan base. While classy and appreciative of Alonso, Strawberry's message was clear: individual accolades are secondary to team success and bringing a championship back to Queens.

BT and Sal tore into the Mets for what they deemed an "unacceptable" and "disgraceful" loss, a stunning collapse that saw the team blow a six-run lead to the Atlanta Braves. The hosts expressed outrage that the Mets' pitching staff, led by All-Star David Peterson, could not hold a significant lead, a recurring issue that has plagued the team for months. They criticized the organization for its inability to fix the pitching problem and questioned whether the Mets have what it takes to be a serious contender, arguing that the constant breakdowns are a sign of a team with a low ceiling and a frighteningly low floor.

Gio and Jerry are back from California and they want to discuss the trip but have to start with last night’s Mets debacle. They both woke up and couldn’t believe the Mets blew a 6-0 lead. They are surprised and disappointed that David Peterson fell apart in the 4th inning. The Mets are drawing big crowds and playing poorly. The pitching staff has been among the worst in baseball lately. Neither of them can believe how far the Mets have fallen the last two months. Gio doesn’t believe they will go on a run and wonders where it ends with the pitching staff. The Mets need a good start from Kodai Senga tonight but Jerry isn’t counting on it.

The fiery duo celebrated Sterling's ability to capture the moment with unscripted passion and unique flair, a stark contrast to the broadcast calls they had just criticized.

After Pete Alonso officially became the Mets' all-time home run leader, BT and Sal got into a fiery debate about his future with the team. Sal believes that this historic moment, combined with Alonso's strong performance, makes it impossible for Steve Cohen to let him walk in free agency. BT, however, argued that it's a sentimental take that ignores the business side of baseball, citing Alonso's age and the team's past hesitation to sign him long-term. Both hosts agreed that the fans would revolt if the Mets let their homegrown home run king leave, but they couldn't agree on whether the team's front office will prioritize this emotional connection over cold, hard business logic.

BT and Sal are refusing to get excited about the Yankees' latest win, arguing it's just another instance of "bully ball" that gives a false sense of hope. They dismiss the victory against a struggling Twins pitcher as a meaningless, temporary fix that doesn't address the team's fundamental problems. The co-hosts insist that this win, built on home runs and against weak competition, is a distraction from the larger issues of a flawed roster, poor baserunning, inconsistent pitching, and a broken organizational culture that has persisted for years.

The Yankees got back on track last night. C-Mac says it’s nice to win but other than Will Warren, there’s nothing to really make anyone feel more confident in the Yankees. C-Mac is annoyed that every team has to be compared to teams of the past that have no connection other than wearing the same uniform. C-Mac says there’s too much focus on comparing teams to past champions when the focus should instead be on current competition.

In a revealing conversation, former Mets GM Zack Scott was pressed about the infamous 2021 trade that sent a young Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Cubs for Javier Báez. Scott candidly explained the front office's thought process at the time, admitting that while they valued Crow-Armstrong's defense and makeup, they fundamentally missed on his offensive potential, specifically his power. He detailed how the team, in a "win-now" mode under new ownership, prioritized a veteran bat for a playoff push, and how the industry as a whole underestimated Crow-Armstrong's future stardom. This discussion offers a rare glimpse into the complex and often unforgiving world of baseball front office decision-making.

Sal Licata sits down with former Mets acting general manager Zack Scott to discuss the true story behind his highly publicized 2021 arrest and subsequent termination. Scott, who was recently exonerated of all charges, shares his account of the event, explaining that he was tired, not intoxicated, and that video evidence presented in court confirmed his innocence. He reveals that despite being cleared and even being asked to return to his role, the Mets still fired him without a clear explanation, a decision he believes was influenced by the team's "zero tolerance" climate at the time.

Sal held a direct and fiery conversation with Mets manager Carlos Mendoza about the team's recent struggles, which have seen them lose seven of their last eight games. Sal pressed Mendoza on the team's frustrating inconsistency, particularly with their star-studded offense. While Mendoza acknowledged the team's struggles and the need for more complete games, he maintained confidence in his roster, emphasizing that the players are working hard and will eventually turn things around. Sal ended the interview by reminding Mendoza that King Cohen had done his part by providing the talent, and now it's up to the manager and players to "get the job done."

Sal lit into the Yankees for their latest loss, blaming the team's culture of prioritizing a player's feelings over winning. He was especially incensed by the decision to let Devin Williams close out the game, a move that he believes was made to avoid hurting Williams' feelings after he had already proven to be unreliable. Sal argued that this "soft" approach and lack of accountability are at the heart of the team's ongoing struggles, leading to a frustrating and predictable loss. He insisted that the Yankees' management and coaching staff are afraid to make tough, performance-based decisions, and it's costing them games they should be winning.

The Yankees' biggest problem isn't their recent losing streak or a few bad plays, but a deep-seated culture of complacency and a lack of accountability that has been festering for years. Sal argues that this is by design, stemming from the front office's decision to move on from a disciplinarian manager like Joe Girardi in favor of a more "player-friendly" approach with Aaron Boone. He points to repeated on-field blunders, from Austin Wells walking off a base to Jazz Chisholm getting doubled off, as evidence of a team that doesn't face repercussions for its mistakes. Sal believes this systemic issue, where players are coddled and managers are protected, is a direct result of a front office that doesn't feel pressure to win it all, creating a chain reaction of low expectations and sloppy play that permeates the entire organization.

In their post-deadline analysis, BT and Sal gave the New York Mets and Yankees a "solid" grade for their trade deadline moves, though neither felt the teams truly "crushed it." While acknowledging both clubs addressed critical bullpen needs and secured important position players (Mullins for the Mets, McMahon for the Yankees), they expressed a slight disappointment that neither team made the "over the top" blockbuster moves that would have earned them an A+ in their eyes, particularly the Yankees not landing a top-tier starter or Kwan, and the Mets settling for Mullins instead of a "splashier" center field option like Robert. Both hosts agreed that while improved, neither team went "all in" at the expense of top prospects.
