Hour 1
The way the Yankees went out, on their own field, was embarrassing. The combination of Gerrit Cole not covering first, and Anthony Rizzo not hustling to first was horrendous. Cole was pitching so great. Rizzo gave a speech to the team the game before. Gio is defending Rizzo for fielding a ball that was spinning in a very odd way and he wanted to make sure he secured the ball. Your $36 million man can’t even cover first base. Even after the disastrous fifth inning, they came back and took the lead. Walks and sac flies did them in after that. Boomer doesn’t like players ‘butterflying through life’. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with John Sterling on the call as Aaron Judge dropped a fly ball in center. We then heard the Volpe throwing error in the same inning. We then heard from Sterling as Cole didn’t cover first base on the Mookie Betts grounder. Then Freddie Freeman had a 2-run single. Then Hernandez hit a ball over Judge’s head and the game was suddenly tied 5-5. After the game Aaron Boone said he was ‘heartbroken’. Judge talked about the drop after the game. Gerrit Cole was asked about not covering first. In the final segment of the hour, last night was a ‘never forget type night’ for Yankees fans. Juan Soto was asked about free agency after the game and he said all 30 teams are options for him. Boomer said he should have realized it was right after a World Series loss. As much as you care about your team, you will never get that from most players on your team.
Hour 2
Boomer thought the Jets would be 6-2 by the time we got to this game against the Texans, but instead they are 2-6. They are even annoying a nice guy like JJ Watt. He has had enough of the Jets and Aaron Rodgers. We took calls from Yankees fans who can’t believe Aaron Judge dropped a fly ball. The ‘Goomba Grabbers’ were banned from the game last night. A caller blames Aaron Boone for Gerrit Cole not covering first base and Gio thinks these takes are insane. Jerry returns for an update and has the sounds from Dodgers radio as they win the World Series. Aaron Judge talked about the errors that cost them the game and the series. Juan Soto was asked after the game about his future with the Yankees and if he wants to be here if the money is comparable. He said ‘every team has the same opportunities when I go to free agency’. In the final segment of the hour, Mike Francesa was on the livestream with Barstool last night watching the World Series. Mike was sitting next to Frank The Tank. Oh, and Juan Soto is clearly taking the highest amount he can get. It will not matter which team that is.
Hour 3
Gio said the Yankees are not going to make any major changes in a year they went to the World Series. They are not firing Brian Cashman or Aaron Boone. Boomer’s not so sure about that. Boomer said they only got that far because of the A.L. Central. Boomer thinks Cashman will be here and he will want to keep Boone, but maybe ownership will not. Suzyn also said after the game that the players love Boone. Boomer wonders if they love him so much, ‘why do they play like crap on the field?’ Jerry returns for an update and has the final call of John Sterling’s career. Gerrit Cole talked about what went wrong in the fifth inning when he didn’t cover first base. Juan Soto talked a lot about free agency after the game. JJ Watt can’t believe the Texans are the underdog against the Jets. JJ is also tired of all the Aaron Rodgers talk considering they are 2-6. In the final segment of the hour, a classic WFAN caller, Miriam in Forest Hills, calls in to talk about the Yankees inability to score multiple runs in multiple innings. A caller wants Aaron Judge stripped of his captaincy.
Hour 4
The Yankees played ‘New York, New York’ while the Dodgers were celebrating a World Series win on their field. We talked about all the miscues the Yankees had in the field in the fifth inning and the entire series. Jerry returns for his final update of the day, but ...
