#205: Let The Games Begin!
Finally, we get the second half. Both the Sox and Yanks have to run a gauntlet to finish July. Hopefully, it doesn't mean playoff death. Also, a Cy Young winner with a losing record? It could happen.

The Yankees are showing signs of life as they say goodbye to DJ. JRod is an all-star thanks to MLB. Plus, an epic beatdown on the golf course?
Yanks are in danger, and the All Star Game is in sight. We talk about that and tell our favorite childhood memories of the mid-summer classic. Oh, and Clayton Kershaw's 3,000 may be the last for a WHILE.
Are the Sox already in the "sellers" category? And will anyone not named Judge hit consistently for New York? And we discuss, maybe, the take not taken with the Ketel Marte heckling story. Plus, funky player names and the role of Richard (listen and you'll get it).
Raffy's a Giant after being a giant pain in the a$$. Good or bad for Boston? A sign of selling the team? Hot Take Central Baby!!!
Historic episode. We tell some stories! Also, big weekend series with three Yanks and Sox. Plus, the latest on Dobbins-Gate and Bat Dog!
Yanks-Sox preview. Also, is Jarren Duran trade bait? Plus, the joys of short porches!
Old friend Dom Rivers joins us to talk about just how inept the Rockies are. Plus, we update our teams and talk more about our favorite topic: FENWAY!
As Raffy Devers controversy seems to fade, we look at similarities with Juan Soto's struggles in New York. Plus, new technologies for umps and would the Hall ever take Tatis, Jr.
We continue to work over his comments on not moving to first. Who's the most to blame? Oh, and he's ON FIRE at the plate. Speaking of fires, we also talk Aaron Judge and the dumpster fire that is the Colorado Rockies.
Bullpens are a major problem for both The Yankees and Red Sox. Plus, we try to figure out "Who's on First" for Boston.
This one is GREAT. From literally, um, having accidents in your pants, to the Netflix Red Sox series to baseball in Orlando and Colorado -- give this one a listen!!
Some green shoots of optimism in Boston. Meanwhile, the Yankees are in first but seem to lack depth. Plus, the Braves and bad leadership ... along with some bad umpiring.
Sox need to make changes. NOW! Plus, a great breakdown of the World Baseball Classic.
John goes OFF on Fenway after going for the first time in years. Oh yeah, we also evaluate first leg of season and assess jinxing no-no's. Enjoy!
Brian shares his thoughts on Fenway and his first-hand look at the team -- Devers still liked, Abreu LOVED. John talks contracts and early season take on Yanks et al.
Aaron Judge and the Yankees have been monstrous. Is it those weird bats? And can Devers not see through his tears or is he really hurt?
We set the table for the Sox and Yanks, make our picks division by division and pick a winner -- with SOME surprises.
Raffy Devers caves, Yankees pitching is thin ... maybe call Joey Gallo?!?!
Is it a 5-alarm fire for the Yankees? John's hot take may surprise you. Regardless, the AL East may now be wide open. Buckle up.
No Devers yet -- Good for Sox? Yankee injuries mount. Plus, Pete Rose and ... Andre Agassi?!
Triple B! Who's gonna be the first Yankee to test the new beard policy? And will Boone actually manage for the full length of his deal. And yes, Brian is still pissed at Raffy Devers.
The real reason Bregman may work in Boston and why John thinks Devers is done at third. Plus, facial hair ... and we have dogs!
He signs for 40 million a year and won't even play his true position. Good or bad deal? A good fast listen on a huge signing.
Dom is a baseball lifer, from OG Roto to Elly De La Cruz, he knows A LOT. He gives us a bunch of takes, including the Sox and Yanks. Good stuff!
We give Bob Uecker his due and then talk about changes in John's job and the media business in general. Plus, changes to the podcast!
We update free agency and talk about what we are most looking forward to in 2025!
We break down offseason moves, talk about how to deal with pitchers/injuries and a 50-year Sox fan joins in.
Juan Soto is a Met. WTF do the Yankees do now? And did you even believe the Sox tried? We pick up the pieces as the Winter Meetings begin and EVERYONE expects a Yankee response.
Blake Snell gets paid ... by the evil empire! What it means for the whole market, and of course, Juan Soto. AND do you believe the Sox are in on all these FA's? (Hint: No)
