Boomer & Carton Show Recap

Boomer & Carton Show Recap http://wfan.com Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:50:28 EDT en-us 7-18 Mets Magic  Ten in a row! Even though the Mets got a terrible performance out of Johan Santana, even though the bullpen relinquished a late inning lead, the Mets were relentless in coming back to win 10-8 in Cincinnati. Down 8-6 with one out and nobody onin the top of the 9th, Argenis Reyes hit a single and that was followed up with perhaps the biggest hit of year: a game tying two run home run by Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:02:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2442087 7-17 Shea Staium's Turn to Rock  It was a dead night in baseball last night but Shea was rocking with the first of two Billy Joel Concerts in the last play at Shea. Not only did Joel go through much of his storied catalogue but he also played a couple of Beatles songs, a nod to The Beatles, who played at Shea, and had a few guest musicians to join him throughout the night including: John Mayer, Tony Bennett, and Don Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:31:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2435143 7-16 Billy Blows It Eighth inning, two out, nobody on, 3-2 National League and Billy Wagner is put into the game to get an out. Instead he gives up a hit to Grady Sizemore and then an RBI double to Evan Longoria to tie the game. Instead of having a nice 3-2 win, and winning their first All Star Game since 1996, the National League ends up losing 4-3 in 15 innings and we can all thank Billy Wagner for playing a role Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:38:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2428803 7-15 Hamiltonian Home Runs  Coming fresh off their play by play debut at last night's Cyclones game Boomer & Carton were raring to go this morning at the last day of Fan Fest. Craig admittedly may have made a couple of mistakes last night but overall he did a good job and the bottom line was they had a lot of fun. That's what minor league baseball is all about: fun. Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:05:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2421987 7-14 Mets En Fuego  The Mets are on fire. After winning their 9th game in a row last night that's the best way of putting it: they're on fire and the only thing that's going to stop them is the All Star Game and unfortunately they won't play another game until Thursday. Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:19:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2414872 7-11 All Star Vote Not Wright  Bad news for the Mets and bad news for the Yankees: David Wright and Jason Giambi didn't get voted into the All Star Game. Instead Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays is in for the American League and Corey Hart of the Milwaukee Brewers will be the NL representative. For David it was close a second while the stache came in third place in the AL voting. Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:11:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2404563 7-10 Santana's Smooth For the second consecutive day the Mets shutout the Giants and held them to only three hits. This time it was Johan Santana's turn to shut down San Fran and the bullpen had a big hand in it as well. Last night's win would have been a carbon copy of the night before if not for a few key differences. Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:36:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2397573 7-09 Big Pelf Big Pitcher  At Shea Stadium last night a young pitched dominated going 7 innings giving up only 3 hits and no runs. This was expected because Tim Lincecum, last week's Sports Illustrated's cover boy and All Star, was on the mound for the Giants. However, Lincecum wasn't the pitcher who dominated, it was Mike Pelfrey. Wed, 9 Jul 2008 11:54:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2390660 7-08 Mets Mojo Rising  It wasn't pretty but the Mets took down the Phillies last night in the most important game of the year 10-9 in Philly. Even though they had leads of 8-0 and 10-1, Billy Wagner was on the mound struggling to close it out with the tying run at second base and the winning run at the plate with two outs in the bottom of the 9th. Tue, 8 Jul 2008 11:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2383635 7-07 A-Rod's Divorce  The Yankees had a great comeback win last night against the Red Sox to salvage a split in this four game series. The Yanks are still way out in the AL East but it could have been far worse with the Rays winning 7 in a row but they remarkably got these wins. Mon, 7 Jul 2008 12:28:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2377151 7-03 Swingers  Alright the 4th of July weekend is upon us and that's appropriate because there are plenty of fireworks in the world of sports. The Yankees pounded out 18 runs as they finally got a win over the Texas Rangers and the Mets bullpen blew it in a loss to the Cardinals. But all of that doesn't compare to drama that's surrounding Alex and Cynthia Rodriguez.  Thu, 3 Jul 2008 11:46:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2363978 7-02 An A-Rod Madonna Kabbalah Party  Yesterday on Boomer & Carton, Craig picked up on a story about Madonna and A-Rod possibly having an affair. This morning it looks like the rest of the world has caught up to our morning trendsetters because the story is all over the place including the covers of both local tabloids. Wed, 2 Jul 2008 12:09:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2356670 7-01 A-Rod a Material Girl?  On Saturday and Sunday the Mets and Yankees played two good, crisp games as they split the two at Shea Stadium. They were well pitched, hard fought and if you were a Mets fan walking out of Shea on Sunday you had to feel pretty good as they were set to embark on the most important eight game road trip of the season.  Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:30:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2348797 6-30 Mets Rule NY  And the winners of the 2008 Subway Series are: the Mets! After a 3-1 win yesterday the Mets claim the season seires for only the second time since the series began in 1997. And if you look closer the Mets have hadthe upper hand in this rivalry over the last few years. Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:58:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2341932 6-27 Subway Serious Today is the big day/night Yankee/ Shea Stadium double header between the Mets and Yankees but believe it or not that wasn't the hot topic on Boomer & Carton this morning. The Nets completely overhauled their team and the Knicks drafted an Italian kid who nearly got booed off the stage at the draft, and that wasn't the hot topic. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:54:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2330943 6-26 Del-Gotta Go...Joba Rising The Mets get a win from the lowly Mariners behind a couple of long balls from a rested David Wright, as well as a 3-run shot from the surging Jose Reyes.  Craig is not impressed.  He feels this is a game the Amazins should winand is not ready to to sing the teams praises.  What he is ready to sing, is his displaesure with one Carlos Delgado, with a little Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:34:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2323062 6-25 It's a Pattern  The roller coaster ride the Mets have been on all season continued last night as they got blown away by the worst team in baseball, the Seattle Mariners, 11-0. Coming off a road trip where they went 4-2 against the Rockies and first place Angels, Mets fans should have been expecting much more than the first two lifeless losses they've had in the first two games of this series. Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:27:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2316217 6-24 Inexcusable  Last night was supposed to be a new beginning at Shea Stadium. The Mets were coming off a great road trip and were back to .500, they were only 3.5 games behind the Phillies despite the fact they've been terrible all year, and they were back at Shea with a new manager going against the worst team in baseball. Oh yeah and their ace Johan Santana was on the mound. Sounds like a win. Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2308982 6-23 Mets Mo Starting to Grow The Mets won their third series in a row yesterday when they defeated the Rockies 3-1 out in Colorado. Mike Pelfrey got the win pitching 5 2/3 scoreless, the bullpen pitched well, and a revitalized Carlos Beltran hit a two run home run. Oh yeah and Jose Reyes led the game off with another triple as he continues his red hot offensive season. Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:34:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2302049 6-20 Willie Writes  He was fired three days ago but  Boomer & Carton were still talking about Willie Randolph and how he was fired. This morning he has a two page article in the Daily News that he wrote describing the way he was let go by Omar Minaya in Anaheim. Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:09:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2291440 6-19 Gangsta's Paradise  Here's the quote of the day, "I told him next time he does that I'm going to get my blade out and cut him. I'm a gangster. You go gangster on me, I'm going to have to get you. You do that again, I'm going to cut you right on the field," Any guess? How about the new Mets manager Jerry Manuel talking about Jose Reyes. Thu, 19 Jun 2008 11:31:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2284412 6-18 Not a Warm Manuel-come  Omar Minaya gave an explanation for the firing of Willie Randolph at a press conference yesterday. He said that he made the decision late Sunday night, slept on it, then flew out to Anaheim and met with Willie Randolph face to face to tell himthe bad news. Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:56:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2277057 6-17 Willie Gets Whacked  I guess you can fire a manager coming off of a win. While you were sleeping Willie Randolph was fired as manager of the New York Mets. In addition pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto were also let go. The timing of the move is curious seeing as the Mets have won back to back games and three of their last four. Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:55:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2269789 6-16 Air Tiger  Once again Tiger Woods capped off a memorable summer Sunday at the US Open. With all the pressure in the world on him, Tiger sunk a 12 foot birdie putt to tie Rocco Mediate to force today's 18 hole playoff. In basketball experts and analysts alike are constantly trying to compare current top players to Michael Jordan but everyone comes up short. Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:01:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2254780 6-13 Sandman Should Exit  Guess who's back. Back again. Boomer's back. Tell a friend. After a day apart Boomer & Carton are reunited and all is right in the world again. Reunited just in time for the postmortem on the worst Mets loss of the season. With a 4-0 lead in the 8th inning the Mets blew it, Billy Wagner blew it, AGAIN and the Mets lost 5-4. Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:17:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2211285 6-12 Mets Escape Oblivion  When a scene like this unfolds at Shea Stadium, a walk off home run by Carlos Beltran in the 13th inning to give the Mets a much needed win, you feel good the next day. Instead it feels like they lost.  Mike Pelfrey had the best start of his career pitching into the 9th inning after throwing 8 dominating, shutout innings. Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:30:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2204157 6-11 Meet the Mess Yet Again  Before the game the Mets had a players only meeting to address what's going on with the team. It seems like the Mets have had some kind of team meeting once a week for the last two months. No one knows what was said in the meeting, perhaps Carlos Delgado told his teammates to try and not get bored even though at times it's hard to stay to stay focused. Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:19:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2197157 6-10 Strahan Goes Out on Top  There's no better way to end a career than Michael Strahan has. He comes back for one last year and the Giants win the Super Bowl defeating the undefeated New England Patriots. Instead of coming back this year to try and repeat Michael Strahan has decided to hang it up after 15 great seasons with the Giants. Hall of Famer? No doubt about it. A great Giant? Of course, Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:07:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2188979 6-09 No Billy No!  At least the score wasn't 2-1. After scoring a grand total of three runs in the first three games against the Padres, the Mets scored three runs in the first inning yesterday. With some timely hitting and great defense the Mets appeared to be in control of the game with a 6-4 lead with two outs in the 8th inning. Mon, 9 Jun 2008 11:07:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2183435 6-06 Mustache to the Rescue  It's all about the stache. The Yankees were on the brink of a terrible loss at The Stadium when 'The Stache' grabbed a bat with a runner on down one run in the 9th. After swinging and missing at a pitch down in the dirt  'The Stache' shook it off got his head straight and bashed or should I say stached the next pitch into the upper deck in right field. Ballgame over, Fri, 6 Jun 2008 11:38:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2173340 6-05 Mets Mo Mo Rolls On  Let the good times roll. The Mets won their third consecutive series yesterday when they topped the Giants 5-3 in San Francisco. The Mets jumped on Matt Cain for three runs in the first inning and pretty much never looked back. The only time things got a little hairy was after Jose Reyes made a bad error that led to a Giants run that made it a 3-1 game. Thu, 5 Jun 2008 11:13:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2168114 6-04 Spring in June  Now that Joba has made his much anticipated debut we can call last night what it was: a spring training game on June 3rd. Chamberlain may have been over excited and he was missing the strike zone ever so slightly which led to four walks and that led to a very short 62 pitch 2 1/3 inning outing. Wed, 4 Jun 2008 12:12:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2160961 6-03 Biggest Game Ever  Tonight is the night. Everything that has come before today means nothing. 26 World Championships? Forget them. Babe Ruth, Joe D, Mickey Mantle? Bums compared to this guy. Tonight is the most important game in the history of the New York Yankees because tonight is Joba's first start. Of course I'm kidding Tue, 3 Jun 2008 12:24:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2153194 6-02 You Don't Mess with the Johan How's that title for a current pop culture reference? The Mets came this close. On Saturday, the day after Aaron Heilman put on a clinic on how to blow a game, the Mets were this close. This close to going back to being the same old frustrating Mets, but it didn't happen. Carlos Beltran is beginning to heat up as he hit a clutch two run home run to propel the Mets to Mon, 2 Jun 2008 11:57:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2145544 5-30 Mets Mo  EVERY BODY CLAP YOUR HANDS! The Mets have got the mo going right now. The unfortunate thing is they were so bad that their current three game winning streak has gotten them back to only  .500. Last night coming off 2 wins against the first place Marlins, the Mets got it done against their favorite pitcher Brad Penny. Fri, 30 May 2008 11:16:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2135539 5-29 Tatis Gives Mets Turning Point  What a win. This year the Mets have been a team to rarely show any come back ability but last night in a game they had to have for so many reasons, the Mets never gave in and won in 12 innings in a situation where you were expecting them to fold in what turned out to be the wildest and best game so far this year. In the 9th inning, down a run, the Mets get a game tying home run from Endy Thu, 29 May 2008 12:28:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2127884 5-28 Yanks Sacrifice Game  The Yankees lost a wild game down in Baltimore last night even though they had not one but two leads of four runs, 4-0 and 8-4. There were 9 home runs hit by both sides and there was an hour rain delay in the middle of the 9th inning. After the delay Mariano mowed the O's down in the 9th and the Yanks took a lead in the 11th, 9-8 but Latroy Hawkins came in, in the bottom of the 11th gave up Wed, 28 May 2008 12:23:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2120248 5-27 Miserable Mets I hope everyone out there enjoyed the long Memorial Day Weekend and I hope if you're a Mets fan that they didn't ruin it for you because the Mets continue to play some of the worst baseball in the major leagues. As they have now sunk to a season worst three games under .500 this team is starting to look a lot like the 1993 Mets AKA the team that was immortalized in the Bob Klapisch and John Tue, 27 May 2008 12:04:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2113120 5-23 Willie Getting Swept Away?  For most of last night things were looking pretty good for the Mets as Carlos and Carlos hit back to back home runs, Santana was cruising right along, and even though they were hanging on to a one run lead you had confidence the Mets were going to finally get a win in Atlanta. Fri, 23 May 2008 11:39:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2100281 5-22 Joba's New Joba  Back in spring training the Yankees discussed the possibility of stretching out Joba Chamberlain mid-season and putting him in the starting rotation. When the time came the Yankees were going to send Joba down to Scranton to stretch him out for a couple of weeks and then he would reemerge with the big club as a starter. Thu, 22 May 2008 11:56:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2093848 5-21 Baseball Hell It was a terrible 3 game 24 hour period for both the Mets and Yankees. It couldn't have been any worse. The Mets were dead all day and all night and the Yankees got their doors blown off at home. Good thing Boomer & Carton were at the Van Halen concert up at Mohegan Sun where they did the show from today.  Wed, 21 May 2008 11:33:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2087107 5-20 Willie's Words  The Mets swept the Yankees over the weekend and today they open an enormous four game series with the Braves in Atlanta, including a double header today. The dominant story with the Mets should be that they're a game out first place and getting set to face their old teammate Tom Glavine this afternoon. Tue, 20 May 2008 11:03:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2079859 5-19 How Sweep It Is  On second thought the sky isn't falling. After the Mets ended their supremely disappointing home stand with that terrible 1-0 loss to the Nationals they had the daunting task of going to Yankees Stadium as a team in turmoil to take on the Yankees. While everyone in New York was clamoring for Willie Randolph's head the point that got lost in the shuffle is the Yankees are a last place team Mon, 19 May 2008 12:29:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2073502 5-16 A Bleak Subway Series  The Mets have hit rock bottom. There's no other way of putting it, the Mets have hit a new low for the 2008 season and yesterday's 1-0 loss to the Nationals put them there. So where do we begin? Shall we begin with the fact thatthe Mets just had a losing home stand while playing two teams who are in last place? Fri, 16 May 2008 11:44:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2063909 5-15 What a Difference a Loss Makes  The funny thing about the Mets right now is the fans emotions can swing violently with one win or one loss. Take last night's debacle for example. Instead of Aaron Heilman coming into the game and being, well, Aaron Heilman, let's say he doesn't give up any runs and the Mets win the game. Then the Mets would be 21-17, 4 games over, 1 game out of first place, and all the fans Thu, 15 May 2008 11:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2056849 5-14 D'An the Man?   Mike D'Antoni was introduced at a press conference at Madison Square Garden yesterday as the new coach for the New York Knicks and it went pretty well. The low point of the press conference was when Knicks president Donnie Walsh introduced his new coach as Mike D'Antonio but after that things seemed to go fairly smooth and why wouldn't they be? Wed, 14 May 2008 11:13:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2049689 5-13 Mets and Yanks the Height of Mediocrity It was a tough night overall for the local baseball teams as both of them got blown out. That's right only three more days until the Subway Series and the Mets and Yankees have a combined record of 38-37. We're getting to the point where the loser of this weekend's series is going to be under .500 come Monday morning, No one expected the Mets and Yankees to be this mediocre but what are Tue, 13 May 2008 11:45:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2042637 5-12 Knicks Get Their Man  The Knicks threw everyone a curveball this weekend when they signed Phoenix Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni to become the 24th head coach in the history of the team. D'Antoni has enjoyed a wealth of success over the last few years with the Suns and if it wasn't for poor officiating against the Spurs in last year's playoffs, D'Antoni could have possibly won a NBA Championship. Mon, 12 May 2008 11:47:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2035941 5-09 Leave Joba Alone The Yankees got a much needed 6-3 win over the Indians yesterday salvaging the final game of the three game series and got back to the .500 mark. While the story in this game should be Mike Mussina pitching well enough to get his 5th win of the season, it's all about Joba and his enthusiasm after striking out David Dellucci to end the eighth inning. After the strike out Joba gave a couple of fist Fri, 9 May 2008 17:03:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2027118 5-08 My Maine Man Yesterday the talk was all about how the Mets couldn't get a hit with runners in scoring position, and they weren't getting good starting pitching, and Willie Randolph needed to be fired as manager of the team. Thu, 8 May 2008 11:45:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2019204 5-07 My 15 Minutes  I'm finally back! This time I'm back for good. Thanks to Al Dukes for filling in for me over the last two weeks even though at different times he was claiming I was on vacation or instead of serving on a jury at a trial he thought I was actually the one on trial! Truth is I was on a jury that convicted a man of stalking actress Uma Thurman and yesterday it finally came to an end.  Wed, 7 May 2008 11:20:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2012004 5-06 On The Road Again Boomer had his golf tournament for Cystic Fibrosis yesterday and a guy hit a hole in one and won a car…sweet…The Mets lost but most of you were sleeping because the game was in Los Angeles…so maybe we won’t really count Tue, 6 May 2008 12:29:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2005642 5-05 Big Brown Delivers Dan Cronin is still on vacation…er, I mean jury duty, so I’m blogging again… The Rangers are out of the playoffs and Boomer is mad…he’s not his usual cheery self…Craig says because of that, he’ll take iteasy on him today… Mon, 5 May 2008 13:57:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1999275 5-02 Keeping the Faith   It’s Friday and I’m still blogging…Holla  Boomer showed up to the station this morning in a Rangers Jagr jersey…Craig said he looked like a 9 year old…Boomer was excited that the Rangers won a game which means they won’t be swept… Fri, 2 May 2008 14:30:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1989010 5-01 Oblique The Cheek I’m back writing the blog today…Dan Cronin is still in jury duty, although he had off from jury duty yesterday…never heard of such a thing…and Bob Dwyer in the newsroom said he would do the blog, but he got too busy tryingto figure out why Boomer’s roll, which was ordered with butter, was delivered without butter…look, we all deal with Thu, 1 May 2008 14:10:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1981542 4-30 Rangers Finished  As the great George Costanza would say, "I'm back baby!" Thanks to Al for keeping my seat warm while I was gone and unfortunately I return to very bad news: the Rangers lost to the Penguins yet again, 5-3, and now trail in the series three games to none, a near insurmountable lead.

Carlos Delgado is a microcosm of what is wrong with the Mets so far this year, that according to Boomer and Craig.. Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:50:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1948969 4-24 - Giant trade talk...Shocking   The Giants are reportedly seriously discussing trading Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints.  This is not the first we've heard of these rumors, but with the NFL draft quickly approaching, this story has moved to the forefront. With Eli Mannings success after Shockey was lost for the season with a broken leg, this seems like a no brainer move.  Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:14:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1941897 4-23 Delgado Done  It's a good thing the Mets aren't going back to Chicago again this year because over the last two games Wrigley Field has been a house of horrors. Over the last two games the Mets have scored a grand total of two runs while Jorge Sosa has given up seven runs and that's just an example of how bad it was against the Cubs.  Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:10:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1934947 4-22 Joba Staying in the Pen  He should be a starter! No he should be a set up man! That's the debate that has raged on over the last 24 hours about Joba Chamberlain, ever since Hank Steinbrenner opened his mouth and said he should start. However things have cooled down since Hank made his comments to the New York Times. Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:26:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1928280 4-21 Hank Erupts  The Yankees beat the Orioles yesterday to salvage the final game of that series in Baltimore. That's right the Yankees salvaged their series against the Orioles, who are supposed to be terrible this year. Yesterday Andy Pettitte was awesome going seven strong shutout innings. Outside of that it feels like the Yankees are in trouble. Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:04:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1921348 4-18 Manny Mania  The Yankees had their three game winning streak snapped by the Red Sox 7-5 and the main reason, one word: Manny. Manny Ramirez is tearing the cover off the ball this year and as always he loves to hit against the Yankees. Over the weekend Joe Girardi took some heat when he had Mike Mussina pitch to Manny and Manny got a big hit. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:43:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1911037 4-17 Beltran Da Man Jose Reyes is back! He's not necessarily back defensively, on the base paths, or at the plate. His personality is back and all Mets fans can thank Carlos Beltran for it. Beltran said after yesterday's game he didn't think Jose was happy right now soBeltran went up to him before Tuesday's game and said, "I want you to be the Reyes you always have been. Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:35:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1904055 4-16 Go Big Pelf  Last night was a good night for both the Mets and Yankees as baseball commemorated the anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. The Mets, who were all wearing Robinson's number 42, had a very nice 6-0 win over the Washington Nationals that brought them back to .500 at 6-6.  Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:54:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1896624 4-15 Honoring Jackie 61 Years later  The home runs were flying out of Tropicana Field last night as the Yankees defeated the Rays in Tampa 8-7. The game was led off with a Johnny Damon home run and there were six more that followed in what turned out to be a very strange game. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:47:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1889118 4-14 Clueless Joe  It wasn't a good weekend at Fenway Park for the Yankees as they lost two out of three in their first series of the season against the defending World Champion Red Sox. Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:03:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1882390 4-11 Mets make it Two in a Row... After blowing a 3-0 lead over the Phillies, the Mets prevailed in the bottom of the 12th inning when Angel Pagan drove in Jose Reyes from second base on a bang-bang play at the plate... Fri, 11 Apr 2008 10:18:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1871708 4-10 The Mets breath a sigh of Relief... The New York Mets can breath a little easier this morning after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 8-2 last night at Shea.  The win snapped a nine game losing streak to the defending NL East champs.  The Phillies were with out there MVP shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who sat out with a sprained left ankle and his absence was obvious, as his replacement, Eric Bruntlett, booted two balls during Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:24:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1864727 4-09 Still Feels Like September  The final opening day at Shea yesterday was a bad one as the Mets lost to the Phillies, 5-2, their third loss in a row. Now the Mets have begun the season a very poor 2-4 and in those six games the Mets haven't even shown the underbelly of their starting rotation yet. For six innings things at Shea were going great. Wed, 9 Apr 2008 12:27:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1858242 4-08 Shea Goodbye  Last night had it all. A game played between two number ones that was back and forth at a break neck speed with lead changes, a remarkable comeback, and a dramatic choke, and by midnight a new National Champion was crowned : Kansas. It's still unreal how Kansas came back to win this game. Tue, 8 Apr 2008 10:57:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1850857 4-07 Rough Start for the Locals  Opening week in baseball wasn't exactly a memorable one in New York for the Mets and Yankees. The Mets took two of three from the Marlins to kick things off but then got swept in a rain shortened two game series on Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile the Yankees have lost  two of three so far against the Rays in that four game series. Mon, 7 Apr 2008 11:51:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1844316 4-04 Joba the Show Man  The Yankees overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 to clinch their season opening series at Yankees Stadium. The Yanks only scored 8 runs in their first three games but luckily came away with two wins because of timely hitting and some solid pitching. Fri, 4 Apr 2008 11:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1833879 4-03 Wary of Walsh  Donnie Walsh was introduced yesterday as the new president of the New York Knicks. As we all know Walsh has been with the Pacers for a very long time but he's a native of New York City and he seemed very happy to be home. He does, however, know what a large job he has in front of him and for starters Walsh has to decide who's going to be the coach of the Knicks. Thu, 3 Apr 2008 12:38:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1827076 4-02 Oh No Pedro  As good as Mets fans felt after yesterday's 7-2 win over the Marlins they probably felt terrible after last night's 5-4 extra inning loss to the Marlins. It's not about wins and losses here, it's about pitching. On Opening Day Santana dominated Florida and showed Mets fans how good he can be and Mets fans were riding high. Wed, 2 Apr 2008 11:33:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1820075 4-01 Santana Dominates Marlins  The season got off to a great start yesterday for the New York Mets as they showed off their ace Johan Santana. While it was raining here in New York the sun was shining bright in South Florida, a perfect setting for a very sharp 7-2 Mets win. Tue, 1 Apr 2008 12:38:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1813105 3-31 Happy New Year  After a long winter and even longer offseason for some (Mets) fans it's finally here. Today is the beginning of what could end up being a special season. Today is the beginning of the 162 game grind that takes us from the last day ofMarch, through the spring and summer and right to the brink of Halloween.

Belmont, from Nashville, Tennessee, the 15 seed in the West Region, gaveDuke all they could handle in a 71-70 loss. Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:56:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1759316 3-20 Let the Madness Begin!  The Yankees have made the decision on whether Joba Chamberlin is going to be a starter or reliever to begin the year and the verdict is: reliever. It was a good decision by the Yankees who have said that Joba won't pitch more a ton of innings this season and obviously he couldn't be nearly as effective as a starter with any kind of inning restraints on him.

Dayton, Virginia Tech, and Arizona State have mild cases for getting in but there were no outright travesties like when Syracuse didn't get in last year.

He even made contact by hitting a ball foul down the first base line. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:04:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1721948 3-13 Dirty Duncan  Nothing like a little brawl to add some juice to a spring training game. We all know this episode started on Saturday when Elliot Johnson of the Rays crashed into Yankees catching prospect Francisco Cervelli and broke Cervelli's wrist. Joe Girardi was fuming after the game saying it was inappropriate for Johnson to make that play in an exhibition game. Thu, 13 Mar 2008 10:49:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1715369 3-12 Eliot to Exit  Details of Governor Eliot Spitzer's encounters with prostitutes continue to come out in the press as Mr. Spitzer remains in office for the time being. Apparently his February 13th tryst with a hooker named Kristen wasn't an isolated incident and Spitzer was a frequent client who may have spent more than $80,000 over the last decade. Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1708239 3-11 Eliot Untouchable No More  Anyone hear any good jokes lately? The governor of New York Eliot Spitzer has been caught up in a prostitution ring by the feds and now he's going to pay dearly, most likely, with his political career.

Fri, 7 Mar 2008 12:11:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1685333 3-6 M*E*T*S  This may be the worst spring training on record for the New York Mets. Over the last few weeks the injuries have been piling up but for the most part they have been small, nagging injuries that are probably not going to effect the team once the regular season comes around. Thu, 6 Mar 2008 10:41:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1678107 3-5 Jealou$ Jet$  In free agency the Jets went out there and tried their best to improve the team by spending over $100 million dollars. You would think that this would be a universally positive thing. You would think guys on the current Jets roster would be doing back flips because your team stunk and now you have a chance to be good. Wed, 5 Mar 2008 12:13:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1671831 3-4 Jet$ Big $pender$  The Jets are putting their 4-12 season officially behind them by spending a ton of owner Woody Johnson's money. Over the weekend they spent  a fortune on Alan Faneca, making him the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL along with Carolina defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.

Maybe it's because Mets fans have been very pumped up and sticking out their chests since the Santana deal and they need to be brought down to earth.

Congress has contacted the Department of Justice to open up an investigation on Roger Clemens for lying to Congress under oath. Congress has sited seven different occasions in which the think Clemens testimony was inconsistent where they think he was lying. Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:00:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1640300 2-27 Stay the Reyes You Are  If anyone was emblematic of the Mets titanic collapse last September it was Jose Reyes. His numbers were awful, he stopped getting on base, and he couldn't stop popping it up. Now Jose Reyes is in spring training hoping to put September behindhim and he vows to be more serious than he's been in previous years.

In today's New York Times it's being reported a Congressional Committee has taken the first steps to asking the Department of Justice to launch a criminal investigation of Roger Clemens for perjury. When he gave his testimony in front of Congress Roger Clemens vehemently denied that he was ever at Jose Canseco's party.

That man of course is Alex Rodriguez and there now seems to be a return to normalcy with the Yankees, at least for a day it's all about A-Rod. Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:46:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1602318 2-20 No Kidding in Jersey  The Jason Kidd era officially came to an end for the New Jersey Nets yesterday as he was traded to the team he began his career with, the Dallas Mavericks, in exchange for Devin Harris, two first round draft picks, and a slew of role players who may or may not make any impact on the Nets.

Due to legal reasons Pettitte couldn't get into everything but he answered the questions as best he could for an hour, and came across as truthful and affable. Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:26:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1589051 2-18 Pettitte to Take the Heat  It's certainly going to be a tough day for Andy Pettitte when he shows up to the Yankees spring training facility in Tampa. When he gets there he's going to have to answer many hard questions concerning not only about Roger Clemens and whetheror not he misremembers things from the past but also question about his father obtaining HGH for him.  Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:05:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1582787 2-14 Fools On the Hill  Finally Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee had their day on Capitol Hill where they were grilled by Congress over Clemens use of steroids.

Today members of both the Republican and Democratic Parties head to the polls to vote for who they want their parties presidential nominees to be. But here in New York it's a Super Tuesday for another reason entirely because it's time to have a parade down the Canyon of Heroes to honor our World Champion New York Giants.  Tue, 5 Feb 2008 10:01:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1513546 2-04 Eighteen and One For the Ages  What can you say after what just happened? If you're a Giants fan how could any words express last night more than, "I can't believe it." Well believe it. This morning New York wakes up to its first championship since the Yankees won the 2000 World Series.

We've gone through the health of Tom Brady's ankle, the Giants talking smack, will the Patriots dominate to cap off their perfect season, orwill the Giants pull off the shock of the century. Its all be said and done and now it's almost time for the game.

They've been on talk shows, the team is dressing in all black when they travel, and they've been predicting Giants victory, especially Plaxico Burress who said the Giants would win 23-17. It's good to see the Giants having fun. Well deserved after a fantastic and memorable season.

After months of  pain that began with the worst collapse in baseball history and continued through the winter where everyone was making moves except for the Mets. Well the pain ends today because the Mets have traded for arguably the best pitcher in baseball: Johan Santana.

Since it’s frigid you would think it would be an advantage for the Packers but Boomer says it’s not.

While many prognosticators are picking the Giants to win this game, the Giants are playing with house money.

Tony Romo talked to the media yesterday and had to defend his trip to Mexico with girlfriend Jessica Simpson and teammate Jason Witten. Questions surround Terrell Owens and how hurt he actually is. The Giants are talking to the media with confidence and say they are ready to play well in Dallas.

The only other player who came close to getting in the Hall was Jim Rice who came up 16 votes shy to get to the needed 75 %.

The Giants get a win in the playoffs for the 1st time since the 2001 NFC Championship Game. Of course they didn't get off to the start they would have liked, going 3 and out in their three drives in the 1st quarter gaining -2 yards onoffense.

How does Andy Pettitte take performance enhancers and Clemens doesn't when they had the same trainer, and Clemens is the one whose numbers improved dramatically as he got older? It just Wed, 19 Dec 2007 12:34:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1293798 12-18 Looking to Avoid a Giant Collapse Live from Minneapolis it's Boomer & Carton!

Carton is disappointed in the report, "After 20 months this is all we get?It seems like we already knew a lot of this stuff. Boomer doesn't think the list is that fair. "This reeks of McCarthyism.

Carton thinks that it's a disgrace to the Knicks uniforms, that these bums are goingto be wearing them. I guess Marbury and Curry won't be reminding anyone of Frazier and Willis Reed anytime soon. The thing that really might Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:36:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1259439 12-11 Garden of Misery It's all over. No more appeals, no more fighting for the Garden, James Dolan, and Isiah Thomas. Any action happening for the Knicks from here on out is going to be on the court, not in the courts.

They won ugly, they barely got by with a win, but they got the win and the Giants continue to play well on the road, now 6-1 away from home. At 9-4 overall the Giants are a near lock to be the 5th seed in the NFC and will be looking to a first round playoff game against either the Seahawks or Bucs.

Last week was sedate in comparison and that's when they actually made a trade. Over the winter meetings the rumors flew as Omar insisted they were still in the mix for Johan Santana and maybe there was a possibility the Mets could land Dontrelle Willis and Pudge Rodriguez. Fri, 7 Dec 2007 10:10:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1236945 12-06 Mets Fans Dare to Dream At this year's baseball winter meetings there have been a thousand different rumors and only one blockbuster trade. The entire time everyone in the world has been anticipating Johan Santana getting traded by the Twins to either the Red Sox or Yankees.  Thu, 6 Dec 2007 12:41:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1229985 12-05 Red Sox Rising? The Yankees apparently have dropped out of the Johan Santana sweepstakes. The Yankees offered Phil Hughes Melky Cabrera and a prospect to the Twins and now the Yankees have taken the offer off the table for a multitude of reasons.

Who in baseball can take any Yankee deadline seriously after the whole A-Rod episode. Besides the team holding all of the power here is the Twins. The Yankees are offering Phil Hughes and Melky Cabrera and the Red Sox are may be offering either Jon Lester or Jacoby Elsbury.

The 2nd half of the season was looking bleak, their lead on the 5th spot in the NFC Wild Card was shrinking before our eyes, and the Giants season seemed to take a turn for the worse.

No low was too low for them, nothing too embarrassing despite the fact they've had the highest payroll and have been perennially one of the worst teams inthe NBA. The pinnacle of the Isiah Thomas era was when they made the playoffs and got swept four straight by the Nets in the first round.

Yesterday WFAN's John Heyman reported that if the Red Sox were willing to give up outfielder Jacoby Elsbury, the Red Sox may be a more attractive trading partner to the Twins then the Yankees.

We are only days away from baseball's winter meetings but the talk of Johan Santana possibly being traded to the Yankees is in full force. Yesterday WFAN and SI.com's John Heyman reported that in order to get Santana, the Yankees would have to package Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy along with Melky Cabrera. In today's New York Post, Joel Sherman writes that it could take more than that.  Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:27:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1199259 11-27 Sean Taylor Dead at 24 Very sad news out the NFL this morning as Sean Taylor, a good young safety for the Washington Redskins, has died from a gunshot wound this morning at the age of 24.

Usually when the Giants lose, Eli Manning is given the lion's share of the blame and sometimes it's undeserved. Not yesterday.

Why is the Friday after Thanksgiving known as "Black Friday"??  Boomer and Carton have different takes on the subject.  Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:26:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1183479 11-21 Carlin Triumphant The weight loss contest has come to an end with Chris Carlin the victor over Boomer Esiason. This morning, the day before Thanksgiving, during the final weigh in, Carlin stood tall and may I say slender as he weighed in at 280lbs! When the contest started back on September 19th, Carlin weighed 310lbs, and over the last nine weeks he's dropped 30lbs or 10% of his body weight.

Boomer had to hand it to him, he did a good job and actually looked like a real goalie, check out the highlights right here on this blog. Carton said, "I held my own, I made a couple of kick saves, a couple of glove saves, if you asked me to do it again, I'd do it in a second."

The Giants improve to 7-3 on the season and have opened up  a 1 1/2 game lead on the Lions for the Wild Card.

Over the next few days the Yankees ownership, namely Hank Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman, reiterated the Yankees stance that they will not,under any circumstances negotiate with A-Rod because he opted out of his contract.

Boomer asks this morning, how does Eli Manning rate among starting NFL quarterbacks? "The way I figured it is Eli would start for 21 out of 31 NFL teams right now. So in other words he's a Top 10 QB in this league." Tue, 13 Nov 2007 10:36:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1149423 11-12 Giant Defeat Lowers Expectations Another big game for the Giants during the Coughlin/Manning era and the results remain the same: another loss, this time 31-20 to the Dallas Cowboys. If they won the Giants would have been tied for first in the NFC East and would have had the secondbest record overall in the conference.

The Giants have been in this position before: starting the season off with a 6-2 record with a big game at Giants Stadium.

This year as the two teams prepare to  play in a huge game at Giants Staduim they are among the top three teams in the NFC. Gary Myers of the NY DailyNews writes how these two teams have had great success without two of their stars from last year.  Thu, 8 Nov 2007 12:24:00 EST http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1133996 11-07 Carlin has the Look of Champion Only 14 days until Boomer & Carlin's weight loss contest comes to its conclusion and today was their third to last weigh in. Last week was a good week for Boomer as he lost 3lbs going from 244lbs to 241lbs while Carlin headed in the opposite direction gaining 2lbs and get back over the 290lbs mark weighing in at 291lbs.

After a couple of days of negotiations Torre and L.A. came to a 3 year $13 million dollar deal. It's been only two weeks since Torre walked away from the Yankees and it certainly didn't take long for him to find work.

That's what the headline of today's Newsday says and that's the status of Joe Torre as he is left twisting in the wind because the Yankees haven't made a decision when it comes to their manager.

Tue, 9 Oct 2007 11:59:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1021670 10-8 Fighting for Torre The Yankees will live to see another day as they came from behind to defeat the Indians in Game 3 of the ALDS. It  was a tense setting at the Stadium as George Steinbrenner said that manager Joe Torre most likely will not be back next year if the Yankees didn't beat the Indians and win this series.

Sabathia in the 5th, and the bullpen got smoked. These three things added up to a 12-3 Yankees loss in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Indians. Fri, 5 Oct 2007 12:13:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1010207 10-4 All Eyes on A-Rod The Yankees are back in the postseason for the 13th consecutive year looking for their first World Championship since2000.

Sabathia.  Thu, 4 Oct 2007 12:30:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1005277 10-3 Carlin Keeps Momentum Going Today was the third weigh in for Boomer & Carlin. Last week Carlin dropped 8 pounds going from 310 to 302. Boomer dropped less than 2 pounds going from 253 to 251.4. This morning Boomer showed that he's going to be a formidable foe in this contest as he's gone from 251.4 to 247 this week, losing 4.4lbs.

They were collapsing but still managed to blow out the Marlins 13-0  and later that day, improbably, the Nationals beat the Phillies.

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=978172 9-28 Your Season Has Come Down to This Last night was excruciating for the Mets. They finally got a good starting performance as Pedro went 7 innings and the bullpen came through with 2 scoreless. Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:54:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=978172 9-27 Your Season has Come... and Gone Another blown lead. More terrible pitching. The sixth consecutive loss at Shea. What more can be said about the Mets when every day is Groundhog Day? The Phillies beat the Braves. One game lead with four games to play and the Mets appear to be in the middle of a meltdown.  Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:22:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=972369 9-26 Carlin Makes a Statement One week has passed since Boomer & Carlin began the contest to see who can lose more weight by Thanksgiving and this morning they both weighed in. Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:33:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=967044 9-25 Mets Nat So Good at Shea The Mets won three in a row down in Florida, had a chance to go up 3 games on the Phillies, and the Mets suffered a blowout at Shea last night against the Nationals. "They stink!" Carton proclaimed this morning as Boomer & Carton were broadcasting this morning from New Orleans. Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:11:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=961736 9-24 Winning Weekend Everyone's a winner! The Jets and Giants finally get their first wins on the year, the Yankees top the Blue Jays to pull within 1.5 games of the Red Sox, and despite their bullpen trying to give the game away, the Mets prevailed in 11 innings over the Marlins. Yesterday was a good day in New York no matter who you root for. Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:50:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=956662 9-21 Mets on the Brink What happened last night? Why did Willie Randolph take Pedro Feliciano out of the game after facing only one batter in the 9th inning? Why did Willie go to the very over worked Jorge Sosa? How do the Mets blow a 3 run lead twice? These are justa few of the questions you may be asking yourself this morning if you're a Mets fan. Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:09:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=945394 9-20 Our Nationals Nightmare is Over Take a deep breath Met fans they did it. The Mets finally won a game last night against the Nationals snapping their 5 game losing streak. Their magic number has been reduced for the first time in a week, from 11 to 9, because along with the Mets win, the Phillies fell to the Cardinals in 10 innings. Thu, 20 Sep 2007 11:06:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=940609 9-19 Carlin and Boomer Weigh In The Yankees are on fire, the Mets are melting down, James Dolan testified at Isiah Thomas trial, but this morning it's all about the bet between Chris Carlin and Boomer. Wed, 19 Sep 2007 10:53:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=935943 9-18 Meet the Mess Over the last few weeks the Mets season has been swinging between looking great and cruising to the NL East title to looking awful and nearly relinquishing their lead to the Phillies. Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:39:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=931000 9-17 Sunday, Bloody, Sunday Redux Week 2 of the NFL was pretty much the same as Week 1 here in New York with another pair of losses for the local teams. The Giants defense was embarrassing again giving up 35 points to a suspect Packer offense. Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:19:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=926578 9-13 Marbury Takes the Stand The Patriots spying on the Jets story keeps rolling on. Yesterday Bill Belichick issued a statement apolgizing for what happened and then had a tough time at his press conference. After being inundated with questions about the spying Belichick finally asked, "does anyone want to talk about the Chargers? Anyone want to talk about football?"  Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:46:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=911601 9-10 Chad Deserves Better It was a tough Week 1 as the Jets got rocked by the Patriots at home and the Giants defense gave up 45 points to the Cowboys and that dominated conversation this morning with Boomer & Carton. That and Britney Spears performance on last night's VMA's.  Mon, 10 Sep 2007 12:00:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=897596
