00:00The Philadelphia Phillies are worse than the New York Mets.
00:02No, they're not.
00:03What an embarrassment the Phillies are.
00:05Yeah, they are.
00:06And if you allow me to walk you through real quick.
00:07So the Mets have the fewest wins in baseball at seven.
00:10Uh-huh.
00:11The Phillies are second with eight.
00:13Yeah.
00:13Here's the difference.
00:14The Philadelphia Phillies, all their best players, are playing every night.
00:19The New York Mets haven't had Juan Soto in two weeks.
00:23So while the Mets are an embarrassment, and don't get me wrong, they are,
00:26they can at least lean back on the reality that their best player
00:30hasn't played in a couple weeks.
00:32Philly has no such excuses.
00:35Best pitcher isn't there.
00:36What an embarrassment.
00:36Best pitcher isn't there.
00:37The Phillies are right now.
00:38They had to pitch Tywon Walker during this loss.
00:41He liked the game on fire.
00:42Tywon Walker's the starting pitcher for you.
00:43No, only until Wheeler's back.
00:46Whatever, he's the starting pitcher for you.
00:47No, then he's out of the rotation.
00:48He would not be a starter.
00:49You're going six deep when Wheeler comes back.
00:51I'm going six deep when Wheeler comes back.
00:51I talked to Harry Callis about it myself.
00:54The late Harry Callis.
00:55He died?
00:56How did I talk to him yesterday?
00:58He died.
00:59See, this is what I'm talking about.
01:00You celebrated 4-20 too hard.
01:02But the bottom line is this.
01:05Listen, I'm not defending the Phillies.
01:06They stink.
01:07They both suck.
01:07They stink.
01:08Yeah.
01:08And I can't help but blame Alec Bohm's parents.
01:11He's batting 140.
01:12I hate to tell you this, but I've got a little inside information
01:15on the Alec Bohm situation.
01:18Oh, do you?
01:18Yes, I do.
01:19I've been told Alec Bohm is the third baseman for the Phillies.
01:22Batting 140.
01:23Who excused his parents of stealing like millions of dollars from him through a number of shell
01:28corporations and even worse, through charities as well.
01:33That's an accusation.
01:34Not confirmed.
01:35Right.
01:35That's what the lawsuit says.
01:37That's what the lawsuit says.
01:38Yeah.
01:38I was told that he made it up, that his parents have not stolen a nickel from him, and every
01:45dollar is fully accounted for.
01:48But he's such a dingbat.
01:49He doesn't know how to open up emails from banks to check accounts.
01:54Now, I'm not saying that's right either.
01:56Right.
01:56I'm just saying, I'm aware of the story that's out there.
01:59Yeah.
02:00I've also been told from people very close to his mom and dad, every nickel is accounted
02:06for.
02:07He's out of his mind.
02:08Well, I'll say this.
02:09I don't know.
02:10Either way.
02:11Yeah, they still suck.
02:12I want to be sympathetic to him.
02:13If he's in the lineup tonight, I want the manager, Rob Thompson, fired.
02:18Really?
02:18Enough.
02:19You can't play him every day.
02:2020 games into a season?
02:21They're almost firing him anyway.
02:22What do you mean?
02:23The Mets, I think by Monday, there's a chance that the Mets and Phillies both have new
02:27managers by Monday.
02:28Yeah, I think Carlos Mendoza for the Mets, he's got nine games.
02:32And I'll tell you why.
02:33The New York Mets have a nine-game homestand, and they're playing against three teams who,
02:38at least on paper, are not very good.
02:40You've got the 500 Twins, you've got the Nationals, and I forget the third team in the
02:46nine-game homestand.
02:47But on paper, you're talking about teams that are not very good.
02:50So, if they go five and four, he's safe?
02:52I think.
02:53Better than that?
02:54I mean, I think if they're like two and seven fired, three and six fired, four and five,
03:01I think it's debatable.
03:02I'm not sure what the situation is in Philly.
03:05I know Philly fans are probably pissed because you guys were thought to be odds-on to win
03:10the division.
03:11The Atlanta Braves right now have, what, a seven-game lead over the Phillies, an eight-game
03:16lead over the Mets.
03:17We're not even to May 1st yet.
03:19So, it would be interesting if the Mets and Phillies are both looking for new managers,
03:25you know, let's say when the calendar hits May.
03:28Yeah, I think you have a real-
03:29It's on the table.
03:30Yeah.
03:31Don Mattingly, I'm going to say it.
03:32I love Don Mattingly.
03:33He's going to be the manager at some point in the Phillies this season.
03:36I'm not happy about it.
03:37I just think we're at that point.
03:39Well, he's a bench coach for them, right?
03:40Yes, and he's going to become the manager.
03:41By the way, that's not the worst idea.
03:43That's going to happen.
03:44Now, I'm not sure if I assume Pete put out in love with Rob Thompson there anyway.
03:47He's had some success.
03:48He's had success.
03:49The issue is the sameness.
03:51And the sameness isn't really his fault.
03:53Yeah.
03:53But a lot of the Mets' issues aren't really the manager's fault.
03:56It's above them.
03:57But the problem is it's easier for them to change the manager than all the players.
04:01Yeah.
04:01And that's what it comes down to in both cities.
04:03You're talking about almost $700 million in payroll.
04:07I think the exact number is like 696 that have now lost a combined 17 games in a row.
04:1311 for the Mets.
04:14Oh, you guys have lost six straight?
04:15Six with the Phillies and 11 for the Mets.
04:18$696 million.
04:20For nothing.
04:21For nothing.
04:23Here's the weird thing, and it's kind of like it's hard for Mets fans to enjoy the Phillies' problems.
04:29Right.
04:29And it's hard for Philly fans to enjoy the Mets' debacle.
04:33That's right.
04:34Because we're both in the middle of a debacle.
04:36That's the problem.
04:36Because if I shoot my hour towards you, you've got an hour ready to shoot back at me.
04:41Right.
04:41And I don't want to hear it.
04:42And neither do you.
04:43Right.
