Jerry Recco was all over it this morning, updating the different directions which the Yankees and the Mets are currently heading in.
Boomer & Craig enjoyed a little 3-day weekend, so when they took their seats in the Allstate Studio just after 6 a.m., the Dynamic Radio Duo had plenty to talk about.
