Hey sports fans, Chris and Joe are back with another Secret Origins of Mint Condition Sports Short. And Holy Cow, to quote the late, great Yankees broadcaster Phil Rizzuto, it's short! Under an hour!
But truth be told, it's a "fifty-minute hour" as Joe slowly, but with ever-increasing mania bares his beleaguered and bellicose soul to Chris. Mad enough to chew neutronium, Joe tries to wrap his head around the epic collapses of The Mets and The Yankees in the postseason.
Why did the Mets greatest strength, their starting pitching, abandon them against The Padres? Did someone at Citi Field forget to let the dogs out?
And why did The Yankees fold once again like a two-dollar suitcase to The Astros? Did anyone hear any trash cans being beaten upon in this series?
Ever the steadying influence, and with near clinical precision, Chris asks measured and probing questions regarding the playoff downfalls of both New York baseball teams, coupled with follow-up inquiries on their respective futures going into next season.
Will The Mets resign Jacob deGrom?
Will The Yankees offer Aaron Judge a massive contract to remain in The Bronx?
Will Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, and their ineffectual squad of underachieving, petulant "ballplayers" re-emerge to torment Joe--and Yankee nation next season?
Chris and Joe tackle all these questions and more in the ensuing hour. Wait, tackle? Wrong sport! Let's just say the boys make considerable "CONTACT" with the issues surrounding The Mets and The Yankees.
What else is there left to say,
but--PLAY BALL!
