Hour 5: McMonigle: Why the Mets and Yankees Must Get Aggressive at the Deadline

**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
Yes sir, yes sir, yes she does. 888-808-109, McMonigle here with you on the last stop of The Carton Show, taking you all the way till seven o'clock. Loogie's out in the newsroom getting ready.
And he'll take you the rest of your Wednesday night, leading into Thursday tomorrow, big day. Craig and I will be, as we was telling you, we will be at Fanatics Fest tomorrow two o'clock, looking forward to it. They're Friday as well. And then yes, I will be doing my Saturday morning show live from Fanatics Fest at 10 a.m. on Saturday as well. And the set, he wasn't kidding, the set looks awesome. It's like a bodega. It's like legit food items that they've put WFN logos on. It's so incredible. If you remember last year, we had like the baseball theme and we all got our own baseball cards and it was kind of like a little bit of a Yankee Stadium kind of thing. And then it was like the indoor, it was like a clubhouse and there were pictures hanging and everything. It was incredible. This looks, I mean, I really like last year's. This looks crazy good and it's much more themed. A lot of like little intricate things. It's going to be a blast. So obviously, don't come down to see us. There's a million other things to do. Every single celebrity sports athlete under the sun is going to be there at some point over the next four days. It's an incredible event. And if you do come by either tomorrow or Friday or even Saturday morning, come by, say hello. And then Sunday, obviously, the entire crew will be there. Sunday as well. We'll have, I was just looking at it.
On Sunday, you're going to get, so again, just real quick, because we did it before, I want to make sure we give you the... Tomorrow is just The Carton Show with me and Craig. Friday, Tiki and Sean will be there as well as us at 2 o'clock. Saturday, myself, Tommy and Keith will take you all the way from 10 a.m. to 7:25 p.m., the three of us, not together, all separate. And then Sunday at 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tiki and Sean will be there, leading you into the World Cup final, which we now know will be Argentina and Lionel Messi and Spain in the final at New York New Jersey Stadium, known to us as MetLife, 888-808-1019.
Let me take this one call and then we're going to get into some trade stuff as we get past the All-Star game. And yes, Yankees won the All-Star game. Congratulations, American League. You had two great Yankees in the MVP, in Bellinger and Rice, who came through against good pitching and didn't hit all runs but small ball with the bases loaded for Bellinger.
And they come through and score three in the first and pretty much ended at that point as only three hits from the mighty National League that is so far vastly superior to the minor league joke that is the American League. Only three hits. Yankees win the game. It couldn't have went any better for me except Boist and Men let me down with a terrible performance. But now that we're past all that, it's time for baseball yet again. Obviously this weekend a big series for the Yankees against the Dodgers at Yankee Stadium and of course we'll turn our attention to the trade line and I want to talk specifically about two Mets that I've been thinking about it a lot and I'm starting to really wonder why Mets fans don't want to trade them. So we'll get to that in a second but Mike and the Bronx has been on...
