  • Condescending Host

    I’d rather read an article of his from the Post than listen to how condescending he is to his listeners. Constantly makes comments basically saying the fans are idiots & don’t know what they’re talking about.

He was so exceptional that he lured my mother back to baseball after 30 years of ignoring it (she had been a NY Dodgers and National League fan since 1943). And then my Mom gradually got me interested in baseball and taught me the basics of t... more

  • Where do I start..

    I listened regularly for the past three years, he’s had so many bad takes that have been backtracked or just forgotten to time that I’ve had enough. What’s with this trend of splitting episodes? Is it to double the play count/ad revenue? Regardless, the whole thing about being a bridge between media and Mets fan is complete hogwash. He just doesn’t have the media connections the rest of the Mets pods have. He loves to spin stuff in his favor, like being the “podfather” etc, give me a break Mike.... more
