Description
Hour 1 Boomer is back from his colonoscopy and is pumped about the Rangers winning the Presidents’ trophy and capped off the single greatest regular season in Rangers history. John Sterling, out of the blue, decided to retire. Jerry is here for his first update but first Boomer has two of the new Jets helmets to display. Jerry starts with the sounds of last night’s Rangers win over Ottawa. The Islanders beat the Devils and they clinched a playoff spot as well. Jerry has audio from John Sterling from 48 years ago. Jerry does not want to be the play by play guy of the Yankees because he thinks it would cause a divorce. Sterling was with Evan and Tiki and said he just doesn’t want to work anymore. The Mets got back to .500 with a win over the Pirates. In the final segment of the hour, Caitlin Clark did go number one overall to the Indiana Fever. Gio said the salary of WNBA players is quite low for professional sports. Caitlin will only make $76,000.  Hour 2 Boomer was impressed by both Jalen Brunson and Coach Thibodeau this season. He said they were the best at each of their positions. There’s no team out there that the Knicks can’t beat. Boomer said Spike implied that the Knicks are afraid of the Sixers. They have to get to the conference finals this year. Maybe it is ‘94 all over again. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the retirement of John Sterling and Wayne Randazzo did a tribute during a Mike Trout HR. Boomer got to meet new ‘Brand Manager’ Ryan Hurley. Aaron Boone talked about Sterling’s retirement. Spike went on with BT & Sal about the Knicks potentially playing the Sixers. Boomer said Spike has a voice you want to, ‘punch in the face’. Spike got a lot of mean tweets yesterday. In the final segment of the hour, Gio was eating and drinking on the golf course yesterday. We also talked about the Yankees play by play job now that Sterling is retiring. Will Justin Shackil get it or will there be a search for a replacement? We wonder what Suzyn will do. Will she stay, and if she does, will she get to pick John’s replacement? The Yankees will also have a say of course.  Hour 3 People were upset at CBS for cutting off the Billy Joel concert in the middle of Piano Man. Gio can’t understand it. You can find live versions of Piano Man all over the internet. We went to the calls and people wanted to talk about the Knicks as they head into the playoffs. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the last few calls John Sterling had for the Yankees this season. The last HR call was a Giancarlo Stanton grand slam. Jerry has 5 calls and wants to know if we can guess the Sterling call for players from the past. Aaron Judge talked about loving the Sterling HR calls. The Yankees lost their second straight for the first time this season. The Mets came back and beat the Pirates to get back to .500. Carlos Mendoza talked about Sterling’s great career. Daniel Jones met the media and his eyes were popping out of his head. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer wants Al to go on The Price is Right.  Hour 4 The Rangers and the Islanders are heading into the playoffs now that the NHL regular season ended yesterday. Gio said the Rangers have the most pressure on them because they have the best record in the league and the best regular season they’ve ever had. Gio wonders about the Presidents’ Trophy curse and how that will affect the Rangers. Jerry returns for his last update of the day and has more classic John Sterling calls. He went on with Evan and Tiki and he said he just doesn’t want to do any more work. Jerry has the great Sterling call from the Rick Camp game on July 4th 1985 when he was the Braves announcer. The Moment of The Day has Boomer wondering why the Program Director is now called, ‘Brand Manager’. In the final segment of the hour, a man in a bubble, on a tee box, gets launched into the air with a giant golf club.
