And We're Off

Greg Breton of 'The ManCave Huddle Podcast' break down the Giants getting into the win column, and all things NFL.

NY Post columnist Kevin Kernan and YES Research Director Jeff Quagliata join me to wrap the Yankees - Red Sox series at the stadium and we have a candid discussion about how baseball needs to start being fixed. Bob Nightengale of USA Today interviewed John Smoltz recently and we discussed the former starter/relievers ideas.

Flying solo today talking about the significance of a Yankees sweep over the Red Sox, not in a delusions of grandeur division winning way, but in a slap in the face of team psyche. Also walking back my Mr. Hyde back to Dr. Jekyll on the Giants. And a quick comment on Jimmy Butler being unhappy again.

Al Leiter hops on board the And We're Off train today to talk Yankees of course. We also talk about AL/NL Cy Young and old school baseball versus sabermetrics. Thanks to loyal listener and baseball teammate of mine Bill Mackey we also reminisce about a defining series in 1988, Al's first full season in the bigs.

YES Network's voice of the Yankees Michael Kay joins us for a chat before the Bombers start their three game set against the Red Sox. Boston can clinch the AL East with one win. We talked about the loss of Aaron Judge amongst others, who Michael would start in the WC game if the season ended today, Justus Sheffield, his favorite John Sterling call and more!

Greg Breton, my YES Network colleague, and host of the Mancave Huddle Podcast joins me in his weekly spot to discuss Giants, Jets, and everything NFL as week 2 comes to a close.

Eli Manning gets a lot of hate for a two time Super Bowl champion and MVP. I have pretty much had it. Plus why I think David Robertson is okay to be calm, cool, and collected in his post game interview last night after losing the series to the Twins.

We go around the world of sports today and just talk about everything. This episode is dedicated to two very good friends of mine. Christopher M. Dincuff who passed away on September 11, 2001. He was in the North Tower on that fateful day. Also, Rhett Krobatsch. A very good friend of mine who was taken from us way to soon at the age of 37. Rhett and Chris, this one is for you.

Today is all about remembering 9/11.

YES Network colleague and football aficionado Greg Breton joins me to discuss the Giants loss to the Jaguars and more from week one around the NFL. Greg hosts his own podcast on Itunes called the Mancave Huddle.

Actor Nick Turturro is a regular contributor to the program and I was lucky enough to get him to come on today to talk about working with Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds who passed away yesterday. We also talked about Nick's beloved New York Yankees.

Flash and I discuss where the Yankees are now, and where they need to be come the end of September. Plus he breaks down what has been going wrong with Luis Severino and Gary Sanchez. He also tells us who he would hand the ball to in a one game AL Wild Card do or die if the season ended today. Great insight as always from the former MLB backstop!

President of Production/Programming at YES Network and my boss, John J. Filippelli shared just some of his great stories from his storied career. Namely the 1988 Kirk Gibson WS home run game, Game 6 of the World Series in 1986 between the Red Sox and Mets, as well as some little known facts about himself. Plus a George Steinbrenner story on the formation of the YES Network. A nice neat hour. Don't forget to check out his show on YES FaceBook page: Let's Talk with John Filippelli.

Louis Linwood Voit has been the 'straw that stirs the drink' for the Yankees lately on offense. I was not a fan of his move or the JA Happ move. I will be completely honest. I was wrong on both counts so far. The NFL season starts tomorrow. Talk Giants/Jags on Sunday.

Colin Kaepernick was named the spokesperson for Nike's 30th year anniversary of their 'Just Do It' campaign. As you would expect, it started the Hatfields and McCoys up on social media platforms everywhere. I touch on that topic bringing back one of the great stand up philosophers of all time in George Carlin and of course I talk about the Yankees.
