It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Built Ford Tough studio on the fan end, CBS Sports Network. Red Pocket Mobile fan line is brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. 888-808-1019 is the number to join the show, and a man who called that number is riding a high right now, and it's one of these things where it's like a shooting star. You see it, and it's bright, and then it burns out at times. At some point, his star may burn out, but it's... at its brightest right now. He has emerged, at least in my world, in this offseason. His takes have driven hosts crazy, made Tommy Lugauer absolutely scream at him over and over again.
It even gets Boomer a little bit. I have to say, you almost did it in the last phone call with Paul Yonkers. You almost fought him on the minor leaguers thing. And I said, listen, you can't, don't do that thing. Don't do that. You can't fall for it. You can't get angry at Paul. But he is angry at us because we both said that the Mets should win or we're expecting them to win over 90 games. Well, by prediction markets, they're expecting to win over 90 games too, so. And his voice has been such a powerful one on this radio station. We have had entire families call up and say they speak to each other before work and school in Paul and Yonker's voice. Yes. Like before they leave, they'll say, good luck, before they leave the door.
Get out of here. When they're about to go to school. Yeah. So this is who was on the line. He wants to talk some Mets with us on the eve of at least Mets baseball. We got the Yankees tonight. Paul, good morning. How are you?
Good morning, and let the games begin.
I feel like, Paul, before you continue, I feel like you almost want to be right more than you want the Mets to win. Is that a fair criticism?
You know, I'm angry. I'm angry what happened here. I lost my buddy.
I lost Peter Lonzo, and it don't make sense. That's what I'm angry about.
So you're saying, yes, you would... Because I hated Pete Alonzo for no reason and didn't replace him.
So you're saying that you would rather be... Hold on, Paul. You would rather be right about Pete Alonzo going on a tear with the Orioles and the Mets not making the playoffs and the Mets actually having success this year?
I don't care what the Orioles do. I don't care what Pete Alonzo does with the Orioles. Okay. All right. I needed him on first base. I needed his 40 and 100 RPIs. To me, letting him go doesn't make sense.
Now, if the Mets have a better offense than they did last year and have a better season, better postseason performance, will you admit that you were wrong about moving on from Pete Alonzo? Yes. Okay, good. These are all the right answers, Paul. Good job.
But I can't say it. I want somebody to explain it to me. Here, here we go. First, Boomer, you said the Mets are going to win 90 games.
I'm waiting for you to say, April Fools, I'm just kidding. That's what I'm waiting for. But you didn't say it. Yeah, well, I'm not allowed to say that. And by the way, I actually do believe in my heart that they are a better team than they were last year. Sorry.
Why are Mets fans concerned about the team winning 90 games?
How is Brett Beatty on this team? Two years he tried to make the team. They're shoving him down my throat this year. Get off my team. Get out of here. How do you let your Hall of Fame superstar move to this? You ready? Let's scream it for a minor leaguer. Are you nuts? Is Ohtani moving? Is Judge moving? Paul, I feel you this week. Are you crazy? Paul, I do feel you this week because I've been slapping around a minor leaguer myself for the last couple of days. But, you know, I think that you might be overrating Pete Alonso a little bit too much. When you're calling him a Hall of Famer, it's just a little bit too much. No, no. Alonso, they made him move for the minor leaguer. Carson Bench. He might be great. That's the thing, Mike.
You don't know about any of it, Paul. You don't know how it works. By the way, are you a mobile man or not? No. You're not mobile.
I'm mobile.
You are mobile, okay.
