Podcast: JJ Barstool Sports New York

JJ of Barstool Sports New York joins me to talk about our own versions of the Everybody Gets To Be A Yankee Once Team.

Two weeks ago, I did a podcast with JJ of Barstool Sports New York and during it, he made a joke that “everybody gets to be a Yankee once,” and it got me thinking about all of the players during the Brian Cashman era (1998-present), who have gotten to be Yankees. So JJ and I started throwing around some names and some more names and then some more names to the point where it made sense for both of us to make our own 25-man rosters of former Yankees using the rules that the players couldn’t have been drafted or debuted with the Yankees, couldn’t have played in more than three seasons with the Yankees and couldn’t currently be on the team.

JJ joined me as to unveil our versions of the Everybody Gets To Be A Yankee Once Team, which included some forgotten names and brought up both good and bad memories of the Yankees going back to 1998.

Podcast: Danny Picard

Danny Picard of “I’m Just Sayin’” and WEEI joins me to talk about the Red Sox’ decision to trade and not extend Jon Lester and the chances he will be pitching for the Yankees in 2015.

Any minute now Jon Lester could no longer be a member of the Red Sox. After winning 110 games and two World Series since debuting in 2006, the Red Sox’ ace was scratched from his start on Wednesday night with a trade looming. Nine months ago when Lester was winning four postseason games, seeing the left-hander pitch for another team seemed impossible, but now it seems inevitable.

Danny Picard, host of I’m Just Sayin‘ and host of The Danny Picard Show on WEEI, joined me to talk about the Red Sox’ decision to trade and not extend Lester, the chances he will be pitching for the Yankees in 2015 and how Red Sox fans are going to lose another franchise staple because of ownership.

Podcast: JJ Barstool Sports New York

JJ of Barstool Sports New York joins me to talk about the state of the Yankees, his chase of Brandon McCarthy’s wife Amanda and hanging out with Vidal Nuno at the bar.

The Yankees desperately need to win series and losing the opening game of a three-game set in Texas against the worst team in baseball wasn’t the best way to start a six-game road trip. Joe Girardi once again managed his pitching staff for tomorrow, which is something that would surprise Paul O’Neill, and the offense was nowhere to be found as the Yankees let another winnable game get away.

JJ of Barstool Sports New York joined me to talk about the state of the Yankees with two months left in the season, what moves Brian Cashman should make, JJ’s chase of Brandon McCarthy’s wife Amanda and hanging out with Vidal Nuno at the bar.

Podcast: Bryan Hoch

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com joins me to talk about the Yankees’ surge to open the “second half” and if they are really a playoff team with two months of baseball left.

After a 47-47 “first half” of the season, Joe Girardi said, “We better play better at home, or we better go undefeated on the road.” Well, the Yankees have listened, going 6-1 since the All-Star break and putting themselves back in position to either win the AL East or the second wild card. It looks like they won’t have to go undefeated on the road, but to take a line from David Woodeson (Matthew McConaughey) in Dazed and Confused, “It would be a lot cooler if they did.”

Bryan Hoch, the Yankees beat writer for MLB.com, joined me to talk about the Yankees’ surge to open the “second half,” the recent moves they have made and ones they could still make before next week’s trade deadline and if they are really a playoff team with two months of baseball left.

Podcast: Steve Melia

Steve Melia joins me to talk about his book “162 – The Almost Epic Journey of a Yankees Superfan” and his experience attending every Yankees regular-season and postseason game in 2011.

I always say if I win the Powerball I will get season tickets behind home plate at Yankee Stadium and go to every Yankees game, both home and away. But I found out you don’t need to win the Powerball to fulfill the dream of going to every Yankees game in a season. You might not sit behind home plate every game, but it can be done.

Steve Melia, author of 162 – The Almost Epic Journey of a Yankees Superfan, joined me to talk about his book and his experience realizing the dream by attending every Yankees regular-season and postseason game in 2011.

The book is available for purchase on 162YankeesGames.com as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
