Weekly Mail July 27, 2025

 

Hey Everyone:

Didn't publish last week because I was out and about last weekend. Also, been having some writer's block lately. 

Didn’t have any issues with material this week.

Photo swiped from Keri-Ann Hart's FB page. Clockwise from top: Malcom Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan, Ozzy Osbourne 

This was a rough week for those of  us who grew up in the 80's. We'll start off with three obits.

Malcolm Jamal-Warner (1970-2025) I've often referenced a scene in Oliver Stone's 1995 movie about Richard Nixon; the scene right after Nixon went on TV and announced he was resigning as POTUS the next afternoon.

Nixon, portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins is wandering around the White House by himself, in the room with all the presidential portraits. When he gets to the portrait of JFK, he says "People look at you and they see who they wished they could be. When they look at me they see who they are."

In the 1980's and very early 90's, people watched The Cosby Show and in a lot of ways saw the family they wished they could be. 

Two loving, if stern parents both successful career people, 5 good-looking, relatively issue free kids all living in a Brooklyn brownstone. 

Malcom Jamal Warner, who played the wisecracking middle child and only male heir to Dr. Cliff and Clair Huxtable Esq., was an easy character to like. Mostly because Warner was an easy actor to like. 

He had a whole list of acting credits outside of The Cosby Show, the one's I'm most familiar with are when he played Al (AC) Cowlings in the FX American Crime Story opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. as OJ Simpson. I also remember him playing Lt. Chuck Cooper in TNT's Major Crimes. 

But it's as Theo Huxtable that he will be most fondly remembered. He drowned in Costa Rica at the way too young age of 54. 

Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025)  If I sat here and wrote that I was a big fan of Ozzy Osbourne, a big fan of heavy metal music in general I'd be lying. I don't have any of his songs on any of my playlists, I never watched his reality show, quite frankly most of what I know about him I've only really learned about from reading the various tributes to him.

But I long ago decided not to knock anybody's music choices, as I don't appreciate it when people knock mine. More to the point, one doesn't have to be a metalhead to appreciate what Ozzy meant to his genre. 

The reality show he did with his wife and kids was a laugh riot and millions of people watched it, regardless of their musical preferences. His lifelong battles with booze and drugs also made him a sympathetic figure, someone anybody could get behind and root for. And considering he fought those demons, and also reportedly bit the heads off flying rodents, the fact that he lived to 76 is a victory in and of itself.  

The outpouring of condolences from all walks of life, from all types of musicians, actors and even a politician or two, was a tribute to just what kind of a guy he was. Was sorry to see that news as it broke this week. 

Hulk Hogan (1953-2005)  Celebrity deaths come in threes is the old adage. It's not always true, kind of true this week.* And of the three, it's one Terry Gene Bollea who has the most complicated legacy, the one I'm having the hardest time figuring out how I feel about this. 

I got the feeling, even reading his obits, that Malcom Jamal Warner was not much different from Theo Huxtable. Ozzy was who he was as well. 

Terry Bollea spent a good part of his life as Hulk Hogan. Representing a "sport" that while the outcomes were pre-determined, you still had to be in some great shape to be successful. Who he was, well, that was hard to say. 

A friend of mine pointed out he was MAGA, and that was a deal breaker for them. My response was in some ways, he was the perfect MAGA. 

Think about it..... What was his catch phrase back in the day? "Train hard, say your prayers, eat your vitamins." 

I'm sure he trained hard to get those arms, but those vitamins he was taking were mostly anabolic steroids. And I have pointed out ad-nauseum here about how it seems like the folks who identify as evangelicals are usually the ones who are caught with the hookers and blow. Not to mention, they are also the ones who are looking to cut social programs for those who Jesus himself said "what you do to the least of my people, you do to me" 

And with all that, I felt bad when I saw that he died. I still felt a part of my childhood ended. There was a song back in the 90's called "Where Have all the Cowboys Gone" by Paula Cole in which she sang. "Where is my John Wayne? The same John Wayne who was married 3 times, divorced twice, and carried on several affairs. Yet he was still looked upon as the ultimate catch in many circles.

But I got caught up in all that back in the mid 80's, and the WWF (now WWE) took off, thanks to Vince McMahon (a shady character himself) and Hulk Hogan. Wrestling went from a regional show to a national phenomenon in a matter of months, after the heavyweight title went from quiet, blue collar Bob Backlund, to the evil Iron Sheik (who was actually an Olympic medal winning weightlifter) to Hogan. 

His original title run was for four years. In his third year as champ, he faced Andre the Giant in front of 93,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, setting a record for an indoor event. Around that time, his matches kind of became predictable and I even started hoping someone would take the title from him. In 1988, he lost to Andre, who forfeited the belt when he sold it to Ted DiBiase. When we all expected Hogan to win the belt back at WrestleMania IV, it went instead to Macho Man Randy Savage.  

My interest in pro wrestling waned after that. But a few years later my sister Kate and my sister Krissy's husband Steve got me back into it for a bit. In 2002, Hogan, now a bad guy, faced off against Dwayne  (the Rock) Johnson at WrestleMania 18. 

As the match got underway, I turned to Steve and said "I know we're supposed to be rooting for the Rock, but is part of you hoping Hulk wins it?" He said "I was just thinking the same thing." 

Sure enough as the match wore on, the fans started chanting Hogan's name. The Rock ended up winning the match, but he and Hogan shook hands afterwards and the Rock paid tribute to his hero growing up. In and interview later on, both Hogan and Johnson admitted they called an audible because of the crowd's reaction to Hogan. 

In 2015, a sex tape involving Hogan was leaked, and on the tape Hogan used the N-word in reference to his daughter, Brooke, having relations with an African-American man. Again, there lies the rub. Hulk Hogan and Mr. T were friends and partners in WrestleMania I, and were co-headliners in WrestleMania II. Was that all fake and the real Terry Bollea the one using the N-word? Who knows? 

Like most people who become famous through performing arts, whether it be through music, acting, athletics or in the case of Hulk Hogan, all of the above, it's a fine line between the performer and the performance. 

Hulk Hogan, the vitamin taking, bible thumping, flag waving patriot was the character playing someone who did everything right, who we all wanted to be The reality was that he was a steroid taking, n-word spewing womanizer. We can aspire to be the man on the screen, while making sure we are not the man playing the character. 

*********************************************************************************

LATE NIGHT TV- The End of the Late Show?

When CBS announced they were bringing in Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman as host of the Late Show, I have to admit I wasn't all in. 

I respected Colbert, both as a performer and a social commentator, but he had made his bones spoofing Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, almost to a tee. I wasn't sure if that could transition over to a talk show. 

Stephen Colbert on The O'Reilly Factor in 2007. O'Reilly had been on the Colbert Report the night before. Colbert called it the best TV crossover "since the Flintstones met the Jetsons" 

He was able to keep the political edge of the Colbert Report while also keeping the main format of the late night talk show. 

On July 13, CBS announced that not only would they not be extending Colbert's contract, but they were getting rid of the Late Show franchise all together, citing that it was "purely a financial decision" and also, not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." (CBS' parent company)

"Other matters happening at Paramount"  most likely refers to a merger between Paramount and movie studio Skydance. And because that merger required approval from the FCC, it was widely speculated that was the reason CBS paid Captain Orange 16 million to settle a $20 billion lawsuit CFCO brought against the network claiming they had edited an interview with Vice President Harris in order to give her more favorable coverage.   

Several media types called BS on that settlement, including Colbert on the Late Show, who called it "a big fat bribe." 

Colbert and the Late Show were canceled three days later. Coincidence? Color me skeptical. 

There were also reports that CBS was losing up to $40 million a year on the Late Show. Again, I'm having a hard time quantifying that. The Late Show has bested The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live since 2019. Letterman beat Jay Leno's Tonight Show the first year he moved to CBS, but then the OJ Simpson went on trial for killing his ex wife and Ron Goldman, and Leno never again relinquished the lead. And through all that, there was never any talk of replacing Dave, much less canceling the Late Show.

But then again, when Jay and Dave were duking it out in the 90's and 2000's, we didn't have the most thin skinned, pea brained wimp in the White House either.  

And the fact that he came out on his X account and bragged that he helped end the Late Show, (and is aiming at Fallon and Kimmel as well) proves two things. 1) What a mental flyweight he is and 2) that Freedom of Speech in MAGA land only applies to those who use it to praise their Orange Leader. 

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot-Foxborough, MA July 16, 2025

BUSTED - CEO caught on Kiss-Cam

Andy Byron, the CEO of an AI company called Astronomer, decided to take in a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. He and the woman he took the show, were captured on the kiss-cam. Andy and his date for the evening were married. Just not to each other.

And you thought the cheating at Gillette Stadium ended when Tom Brady and Bill Belichick left.**

Indeed, Byron was caught with the head of Astronomer's HR department, Kristin Cabot, snuggling away and grooving to the music when not only did the camera catch them in the act, Coldplay front man Chris Martin remarked as they stopped hugging and ducked from the camera, "Either they are very shy or they are having an affair." 

Turned out to be the latter. 

And I could be wrong about this, but I can't help but think this would have been a blurb in the newspaper, maybe a quick 30 second story on a newscast or two, if not for the internet in general, and social media in particular. 

Because the memes that have been coming out about this? One has been more hilarious than the other. I had two different text chains going last Friday night of people posting about this whole mess. 

And look, I'm not condoning cheating on your spouse or am I encouraging making light of it, (especially since there are kids involved) but you have to admit, the look on their faces when the camera caught them was hysterical. hence the memes. 

Both Byron and Cabot have resigned their positions and Astronomer has released a statement saying that they don't condone this type of behavior. Are they talking about adultery in general or CEO's getting it on with their underlings? 

It sounds like Cabot's marriage was already in the proverbial crapper, and it's hard to see Byron's marriage surviving this, especially since (as I read in the Post) that Byron's wife stands to get half of his assets, which includes an almost $700,000 a year salary, plus performance bonuses. His performance at the Coldplay concert may have just cost him dearly. The Post also estimated his net worth at $70 million. As exorbitant  as concert tickets are nowadays, they're still not close to $35 million a pair. 

It sounds like Martin and Coldplay have decided to do away with the kiss-cam, and maybe that's for the best. I can only speak for Shea Stadium/Citi Field, they do it there and I never thought it was anything particularly clever or funny. Some people get a kick out of it though, so we'll see if it keeps up. It may produce another week of memes and news stories if they bust another power couple. 

Supposed to be a hot one this week. Everyone be careful.

Stay Safe

and Have a Great Week

*Chuck Mangione also died this week. He had a number 4 hit in June 1978 called Feels So Good  The friends of mine on social media who admitted they liked that song stunned me. I've always liked it, but I also once stood and watched Air Supply play at Mohegan Sun while my friends were off at the craps table. 

** I am hoping upon hope that I am the first person in America who used that line. I have no doubt that if he were still the nighttime sports editor at the Post, my friend Pat (Hondo) Hannigan would have beaten me to it. 

Weekly Mail July 13, 2025

 

Hey Folks:

Hope you are all having a good summer so far. Hope everyone is hanging in as best as possible.

Bad news to start off.

TEXAS FLOODS: 

One of the things I lament on this blog is when something horrific happens in this country these days, such as the storm and resulting floods in South Central Texas, the finger pointing and blame starts well before the victims are all accounted for. 

And man, I tried here. I'm biased, yes, guilty as charged. I can't stand Texas governor Greg Abbott, I can't stand US Senator Ted Cruz either. I wouldn't want either of these two guys representing my state. 

And you know where I stand on the felon in the White House and his gang of ineptitude. 

But this runs this deeper than them.

Part of the reason I'm so worked up is that I feel like we are 25 years into the current century and it seems like more often than not there has been at least one or two of these weather disasters a year. I often refer to that year's disaster and the annual storm of the century. Part of the reason I do this is to point out that if can happen it will. Because it has.

And apparently in Kerr County, TX, it happens a lot. 

Per the Texas Tribune.com..

Nearly a century ago in 1932, hard rains pushed the Guadalupe River out of its banks. That destructive flooding drowned seven people and property losses exceeded $500,000 — equivalent to $11.8 million today.

In 1978, a tropical storm stalled over the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Medina Rivers. The resulting flood drowned 33 people, causing millions of dollars in property damages, ravaging roads, bridges and ranchland.

Less than a decade later, in 1987, an intense summer storm dumped about 11.5 inches of rain in mid-July near the headwaters of the Guadalupe River, sending a massive flood wave through Ingram, Kerrville and Comfort. As the wall of water rushed through a church camp near Comfort, a bus and a van attempted to evacuate campers but stalled in rapidly rising water. Ten teenagers drowned and 33 other people were injured — a tragedy that some officials alluded to in recent days when defending the lack of evacuations before the July 4 flood.

Most recently, on Memorial Day weekend in 2015, heavy rainfall upstream on the Blanco River caused flash flooding in Wimberley, uprooting centuries-old trees and damaging or destroying nearly 400 homes along its banks, displacing hundreds of residents. The river rose approximately 5 feet every 15 minutes, cresting near 50 feet. Thirteen people died in the flood.

Yes, Captain Orange, and more to the point his Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem, deserves their share of the blame for the lack of preparation and poor response to this latest disaster.

Per CNN-

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — whose department oversees FEMA — recently enacted a sweeping rule aimed at cutting spending: Every contract and grant over $100,000 now requires her personal sign-off before any funds can be released.

For example, as central Texas towns were submerged in rising waters, FEMA officials realized they couldn’t pre-position Urban Search and Rescue crews from a network of teams stationed regionally across the country.

In the past, FEMA would have swiftly staged these teams, which are specifically trained for situations including catastrophic floods, closer to a disaster zone in anticipation of urgent requests, multiple agency sources told CNN.

But even as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, FEMA officials realized they needed Noem’s approval before sending those additional assets. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.

But it also appears from where I'm sitting that this an area prone to flooding. Us New Yorker's could be somewhat forgiven for having Super Storm Sandy creep up on us, it had been at least 75 years since a storm had done that kind of damage to our area. But at recently as 10 years ago, you had a deadly flood in that area. I'll give Orange and Noem and the rest of them all the $hit they deserve, but how were the local officials so caught off guard. And how come so little was done after the 1987 flood? CO was still bankrupting casinos back then, he was nowhere near Washington DC at that point. And FFS, 10 teenagers at a camp died in that flood.

Sound familiar? 

Yes the fact that kids at a camp were swept away in this flood makes this all the more heartbreaking. Tim's a camp counselor at a day camp. Just a couple years ago he was a camper there. It hits home. 

There's so much more to report on this than I have the time to write, all of it heartbreaking and aggravating. And as usual, I'm kind of at a loss for a solution. But cutting FEMA is not one of those solutions. And neither is acting shocked when it happens. 

The present is too depressing. Let's flashback 40 years ago. 

LIVE AID-

Editors Note- I actually wrote most of this a year ago. As I was finsihing it up, I saw a bunch of my co-workers gathering around the TV.  My quiet night waxing poetic about Live Aid was over after the shooting in Baxter, PA. I filed this away and decided to run itb this year, the actual 40th anniversary. 

It was 40 years ago on Sunday that Live Aid took place. walking around the city on Saturday afternoon, another hot sticky sweaty second weekend in July. It was a more overcast in NY that Saturday in 1985, but still hot and humid. 

I must have either been living under a rock or just been so caught up with the Mets that year, because I don't remember hearing anything about the two concerts before that day. And I know how much planning went into putting all of it together. I just happened to turn on the TV around noon at our place in Rockaway (probably to watch Mel Allen and This Week in Baseball) and saw the stage all set up at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. 

While I was trying to figure out what the hell this was all about, the show at London's Wembley Stadium was well underway. You guys are going to have to help me out here, did they broadcast the London portion on TV here? The Philadelphia part was shown on Channel 5 here in NY. Maybe MTV showed the whole thing, but we didn't have cable in Woodside, much less the bungalow in Rockaway. 

When I posted about Live Aid a few years ago, a longtime friend, St. Mary's classmate and 63rd Street neighbor Tara talked about how she was down at the park at the end of our block that day and evening as guys were playing the concert on their car stereos. I remember picturing that, I was in that park all the time, I knew as well as I knew my own house. As a middle-aged guy with a couple of jobs and all sorts of responsibilities, I thought back on what Tara remembered and thought "What a great way to spend a summer Saturday."

Of course, had my folks suggested to 11-year-old me that I should go down to the park and listen to a concert from Philadelphia on some dude's car stereo that day in 1985, I would have put up quite the resistance. of that I have no doubt. 

As it was, we ended up at a black party at our friend's the Reilly's in Maspeth. I happened to be in the house when Mick Jagger and Tina Turner performed Dancing in the Street, the Martha and the Vandella's hit from the 60's that Mick had recently re-made with David Bowie. I remember watching that and thinking, "Damn, they are old!" (Mick was two weeks shy of 42 and Tina was 45 at Live Aid- which now coming up on 52 for yours truly doesn't sound so old***). 

We got back to Rockaway in time to see the finale in Philadelphia. Lionel Richie, Harry Belafonte and others closed the show with We Are the World. Even at that point, I had no idea what a big deal it would turn out to be. 

In 2005, they did the Live 8 Concerts, and around that time, I was getting familiar with Youtube. That was the first time I saw Queen's performance at Wembley Stadium, which was brilliantly re-captured in the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. I've also watched a bunch of times Bono coming off the stage at Wembley to help a fan while the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen plow through a long ass version of Bad. 

An estimated $150 million was raised between the two shows for famine relief in Ethiopia. CNN is airing a special starting Sunday night to mark the 40th anniversary. 

******************************************************************************

I saw the following on Time.com

If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 seconds that make up a day. On July 9, however, as well as on July 22, and August 5, you won’t get your full complement of seconds. On these days the Earth will be measurably—and, so far, unaccountably— accelerating its rotation, shaving from 1.3 to 1.5 milliseconds off of the usual 24 hours the typical day gets.

That's the kind of year I'm having folks. The one day I want to be longer, my birthday, will be 1.5 milliseconds shorter. One of my dearest friends in the world celebrates her birthday on July 22nd, and she's getting screwed too. Our birthdays are on Tuesday this year, so to make up for it, I'll start celebrating on Saturday the 2nd. 

Stay Safe

and Have a Great Week

**Wikipedia is unclear on this. On a chart at the bottom, it says that ABC and MTV went from 7 AM EDT till the end, while in the main part, they said ABC covered the last three hours and distributed the earlier coverage through syndication. That makes more sense, I'm positive the early Philadelphia show was on Channel 5 (pre Fox) 

***Also for the fact that Mick's still on tour at 82. 

Weekly Mail July 6, 2025

 

July 2 2025 @ 8:45PM

Hello:

Happy 4th of July weekend, and happy surviving halfway through 2025.

I hope all of you enjoyed my dispatches from out west, that was truly an amazing experience. We spent two days in LA and three days in Solvang, and that was perfect. I had a blast in LA, but Solvang was awesome too. We had diner at the Hitching Post which was featured in the movie Sideways. There were pictures of Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hayden Church all over the place. And the food was outstanding. 

I'm really glad we got to do that trip. With my two buds whom I've been friends with since kindergarten. I may never get there again, but at least I can say that I did it. 

But as Soul II Soul once sang, back to life, back to reality.

Well first there was some good news. Tim got asked to a prom. It was a co-worker from his camp who asked him. It was the Lynbrook high school prom. And I have to tell you something, they do it up!

They close down one of the main streets in Lynbrook (Atlantic Avenue between and Merrick Road*) and have the kids walk out on proverbial red carpet then parade up and down Atlantic Avenue before getting on the party bus. 

Fun, fun night.

And as I mentioned above, last Tuesday was July 1st, marking the halfway point of 2025, a year I feared would be a complete $hit$how. And while there have been a few personal highlights, see the first part of this post, the rest of the world has pretty much gone the way I figured it would.  

Karl, Ray and I were sitting at a wine bar in Solvang watching the Mets-Phillies Fox Game of the Week, when a Fox News Alert interupted the game. It was 7 PM where we were and I had gotten some alerts that Captain Orange was going to address the nation about the US bombings of Iranian nuclear sites. 

The bar didn't ask the band to stop playing and they never turned up the volume on the TV, so I had no idea what he said at the time. All 3 of us had been either flying or about to fly during an international incident. Ray and his wife had been on their way back from Hawaii on 9/11 when their plane was forced to land in the Midwest. I was in Disney World in 1979 when the Iranian embassy had been overtaken at the hostage crisis began. I was also in Ireland when Bill Clinton went after Osama Bin Laden by firing cruise missiles in Afghanistan and the Sudan in 1998. 

Look, no one thinks Iran having a cache of nuclear weapons is a good thing. But I'm more than a bit skeptical that their entire nuclear program was wiped out by this airstrike. I wouldn't believe CFCO if he told me the sun set in the west, and obviously I don't believe anything coming out of Iran. For now, all is quiet on that front. But my guess is that this is far from over. 

On June 24, the democratic primary for mayor was held in NYC. Former governor Andrew Cuomo was the favorite, but in ranked choice voting, he was defeated by Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. When all was said and done, Mamdani took 56% of the vote. It was almost 100F in NY that day (which coming from Solvang, where it got down to 48F one night, didn't help my jet lag any-but I digress) and Cuomo seems to think that the older folks he was counting on to get him over the top stayed home in the air conditioning. I don't know, that looked like quite a statement from where I was sitting. 

I don't know much about Mamdani to be honest, but to hear some people all bent out of shape over his victory made me chuckle, a lot of the same folks who were giving me $h-t on November 6, 2024. 

Unfortunately, I think this is the way of the world now, folks. I'm sure there were some people who didn't vote for Cuomo because of the reasons he was forced to resign as governor. More likely, it was that he was viewed as the establishment. Much like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated my friend Joe Crowley in 2018, and much as I hate to admit it, the way CFCO defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. Some may argue that his 2024 win over Kamala Harris was the same thing. It wasn't. (And if you voted that way, once again, you got played by the conman.) Being the establishment candidate is now the taboo. Don't be surprised if AOC tosses her Yankee cap into the ring in 2028. And if you think her fibbing about where she grew up is going to derail that train, you need to pay attention more. 

Then we have the big beautiful bill that was voted on July 3rd and signed into law on July 4th. Two things I'm going to say about it. 

1) What gets me about this bill is not the die hard MAGA's who voted for it, the one's who think CFCO can turn water into wine. They are going to do what they do. No, I'm more upset with the ones who said they had reservations about the bill, who read it and saw that their constituents were going to suffer, and who said they would consider voting no, but caved in and voted for it anyway, fearing reprisals from the big guy. Nobody wanted to get rid of Obamacare more than John McCain, but he knew that there was no bigger better plan, so he voted no to the repeal. That took guts. Those who said they would vote against it and changed their minds? Gutless, the lot of them. 

2) The cuts to Medicare and Medicaid are going to have ripple effects, and I don't understand how people don't see this. 

It’s bad enough that millions of people are going to lose their health insurance because they won’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid anymore. But also, funding to hospitals and clinics will also be dramatically cut. Hospitals are going to be forced to cut staff that includes nurses, physician assistants etc. In other words the people that make hospitals work more efficiently so that doctors can do their jobs properly. That is all at risk now. 

And  that’s just the hospitals that won’t be forced to close. 

 Just a total disaster.

BASEBALL: Subway Series.

Sure, I would have loved to see the Mets win on Sunday and sweep the series at Citi Field. But let’s be honest this was the way it sort of had to end, right?

The fact of the matter is the Mets and Yankees are pretty much the exact same team. Both of them are good enough to be close to the top of their divisions with enough flaws to make you think that there is absolutely no shot either one of them have a chance to win the World Series as presently constituted. 

Both teams have been rattled with injuries, especially to their starting rotation. The Yanks have lost two of their starters to Tommy John surgery and the Mets have been without Kodai Senga, Frankie Montas and Sean Manea for large parts of the season. 

While I was away, I was spared having to see the Mets get swept by the Braves in Atlanta, while the Yanks went three straight games without a run. WFAN must have been going bananas that week. 

So yeah, Mets 3-Yanks 3 kinda tracks. We’ll see what kind of moves they make at the deadline. 

Sorry this one is kinda short.

Stay Safe

and Have a Great Week
