John Hirschbeck is an MLB umpire, a crew chief as a matter of fact, and he joined Boomer & Craig today in the Allstate Studio to talk a little baseball.
Dwight Gooden joined Boomer & Craig this morning in the Allstate Studio and really opened up to the guys. Right off the bat they got into Doc's well documented drug use and the road his abuse took him down.
As if he could open Monday's schmooze with anything else, Steve Somers tackles Wilpon's sharp criticism of Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes and David Wright. And you might just be surprised at what he had to say...
With the French Open -- tennis' second Grand Slam event -- getting underway in Roland Garros over the weekend, Jerry "Rello" Recco thought it would be a good time to play a little "Ova/Unda" with Boomer & Craig. And he was right.
Bartolo Colon pitched well enough last night to take the mound in the 6th inning locked in a 1-1 tie with the Blue Jays in the Bronx. Then the flood-gates opened and Colon unraveled. When the dust settled, the Yanks were on the bad side of a 7-3 loss.
It was Mets central today on the "Boomer & Carton Morning Extravaganza" as the fallout continues and Fred Wilpon's inflammatory comments to The New Yorker Magazine take on a life of their own.
J.P. Arencibia hit a three-run double in a five-run sixth inning and Jose Bautista homered to back spot starter Carlos Villanueva and lift the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night.
The Mets could have been sitting in Chicago on their off-day at the .500 mark, after taking two of three from the Yankees in the first installment of the Subway Series. Coulda - woulda - shoulda. Never happened.
Lost in the chaos created by Bernard Madoff and the Wilpons is a very real truth: the Mets are a lot better than many want to give them credit for. And frustrated Fred needs to turn that frown upside-down and be happy for a change.
Mets fans might find themselves stunned after reading Jeffrey Toobin's epic profile of Fred Wilpon in the latest issue of The New Yorker. At times Wilpon sounds more like a jilted fan than the owner of New York's National League franchise.
The Jets appear to be on the outside of the Plaxico Burress post-jail sweepstakes, though they're reportedly in the mix for another talented-yet-troubled wide receiver.
What bothers me the most is these comments are so out of character for Fred Wilpon who has always struck me as a person who takes responsibility for the struggles of this franchise.
Is the success of the Yankees inevitably linked to A-Rod's production?
Jailed ex-Giants receiver Plaxico Burress is scheduled to be released from Oneida Correctional Facility on June 6 -- two weeks from today. According to a weekend report from The Daily News' Gary Myers, Burress could make a run straight for Philadelphia.
Mets third baseman David Wright is eager to get back on the field. He's hoping a trip to Los Angeles on Monday for an examination with noted back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins will help.
