This is indeed The Michael Kay Show. We thank you for joining us on this Monday, June 29th, 2026 Me and you for two. Those are the rules of engagement. It's the fastest two hours of sports talk radio and you know the password to become a co-host, right? 1-800-919-3776. So, The Michael Kay Show on Espn New York and now you could watch on YouTube, presented by our good friends at the Parisman firm. We love them. We thank them for being the sponsors for our YouTube feed. So many people watch the show on the Espn New York YouTube channel and now the Parisman firm is a part of it. So thank you, thank you, thank you to the great people at the Parisman firm. And what the Parisman firm has gotten involved in, is they've gotten involved in a show that I, listen, I hate to be the one to pat myself on the back, but I really am a savant. And if you listen to me, you're going to find the real deal. You're going to get the truth. That's what I do. No matter who I upset, I tell you the truth. And if I don't tell you the truth, then you can't really rely on me. So let's go in the way back machine right now, because thank you. I love the way back machine music. It really makes you go way back. Now the Yankees just had just an absolutely horrendous weekend in Boston getting swept in four games. But if you listen to this show, every Monday through Friday from one to three, you knew this was happening. Because again, the way back machine takes you to Monday, June 22nd of 2026, when I told you this. My point is this, and it's almost a warning to Yankee fans, there's going to be a slump on the horizon. Because when I said when they lost judge, they got to tread water, I meant it. I mean 500 until he comes back. Now they succeeded that or exceeded that by a lot. So he goes, well, you know, they're great right now. Now, their pitching is great. Their bullpen is sketchy, but they're starting pitching is great. And they're playing bad teams right now. And there are a lot of bad teams in baseball. That's why the Yankees are not in trouble. They're making the plus. But my warning to all of you as Yankee fans, don't freak out. Because it could be about to get ugly. It could be, because you could see it. You could see it on the horizon. If they go off on a run now over these next two weeks, so what are they playing? 7-13? If they go like 10-3, I'll stand corrected. But please don't freak out if they go 6-7, because you're seeing it right there in front of you, the things that's wrong with the team. If you'd only listen, because if you follow social media over the weekend, guess what? You're freaking out. I told you not to. They took two out of three in Detroit. Then they go into Boston against the last place Red Sox, who are having the most horrendous season that you could possibly have. And what they do, they got swept in four games. So in the first seven games of that 13-game stretch, they are two and five. They have a three-game set starting at Yankee Stadium tonight against Detroit. Thursday is an off day, beach pass, by the way. And then they have three games against Minnesota over the weekend. And for those that are freaking out, I don't get how you consume this sport. Because as I was watching the game on NBC, first of all, I had to go to Peacock first, because NBC decided to carry a non-major golf tournament rather than actually carry the Yankees and the Red Sox. And that's another story for another day. But my goodness, is there any respect for this sport, a non-major golf tournament that ended up being tied and they're playing a playoff today on the Golf Channel.
