Hour 1
The Mets had another incredible win last night to get them into the NLDS. Pete Alonso finally came through in a gigantic way, with a 3-run HR in the 9th to make it 3-2 Mets. People were expecting the Mets season to end in a Pete Alonso season ending double play. His HR is something Disney movies are made of. David Peterson had to close out his first game ever, a playoff game with a 2-run lead. Gio has been shocked by this team, in a good way, time and time again this season. The Mets also now have a playoff pumpkin that Alonso picked with his wife and was part of the celebration last night. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Howie Rose’s HR call of Pete Alonso’s HR. We heard from Alonso after the game about the HR. Boomer said the Mets road to the World Series ‘won’t be a cakewalk like the Yankees have’. Devin Williams talked about giving up the HR. Evan Roberts said he was emotional, ‘a tear popped down my eye’. The Falcons beat the Bucs in OT and Kirk Cousins threw for 509 yards. In the final segment of the hour, OMG is probably the best song that an athlete put out.
Hour 2
Gio is loving all of the videos from people at the watch party at Citi Field. Last night’s HR may be the thing that keeps Pete Alonso on the Mets. A caller said he was a Pete hater and was so happy to be wrong. Before the game, Chris Russo said to Frank The Tank that it’s bad news for the Mets because Devin Williams is going to get three outs. We took calls from Mets fans and Yankees fans happy for Pete Alonso. Jerry returns for an update but first we went to a caller who couldn’t get to his point. Jerry has Bob Ueker on the call as Pete Alonso hit the 3-run HR. Jerry has audio of Sal Licata from his home in NJ freaking out over the Mets win. Carlos Mendoza talked about Alonso’s season and how people wanted more from him. The Falcons beat the Bucs in OT and we heard Ian Eagle on the call. Kirk Cousins threw for 509 yards and 4 TDs. Karl Anthony Towns met the media and talked about how he’s going to fit in with the Knicks. In the final segment of the hour, we took more calls from happy Mets fans. One caller said Alonso is keeping the revenue flowing with that HR, which gives them games Tuesday and Wednesday.
Hour 3
Mets fans are excited, and it no doubt gets harder from here, but maybe this is finally the time again when the Mets are that team. We now look forward to a memorable series against the Phillies. We had a great series against the Braves, the Brewers and now the Phillies. Boomer compared the Mets to last year’s Knicks team and how they bonded and how the fans loved them. They fell to injuries but the Mets are healthy. Pete can separate himself now from the mediocre regular season he had and all will be forgotten. This could be the catalyst for a great series against the Phillies as he loves Citizens Bank Park. Jerry returns for an update and Jerry starts with audio of Sal yelling when the Mets won last night. Jerry has the Howie Rose call of Pete Alonso’s 3-run HR. Pete Alonso talked after the game about coming through for his team. Steve Cohen talked about Francisco Lindor picking him up to celebrate. Tommy Lugauer claims he predicted a 3-run HR for Pete Alonso. Positive Tommy said of the Mets and their fans, ‘we’re not destined to be losers’. In the final segment of the hour, there is a lot going on this weekend with local sports. Mets and Yankees Saturday, Jets on Sunday morning, and Mets and Giants Sunday in the 4pm window. Malik Nabers doesn’t look like he’s going to be playing in Seattle. Nothing has been decided yet, but it’s not looking great. Pete Alonso went from tripping over his own bat and dropping a foul pop up to hitting a 3-run homerun and celebrating with a pumpkin.
Hour 4
Our old boss, Spike Eskin, works at WIP in Philly now and he said he wants to end all of our fun with the Mets. Philadelphia has an inferiority complex when it comes to NY. A caller said he listened to Milwaukee sports ...
