00:00It's sports, Dave. What's happening, man?
00:02Okay, we're going to start with baseball, where they're feeling the heat at Citi Field.
00:06The Mets lost last night to the Brewers 2-1, and the Mets dropped to a season-low eight games under .500 at .35-43.
00:15The Mets have lost seven of their last ten, and both the manager, Buck Showalter, and general manager, Billy Epler's futures may be uncertain.
00:24Are you saying that heads are about to roll over at Citi Field?
00:26It's getting closer and closer to that. The Mets have the highest payroll in baseball.
00:31When you factor the luxury taxes in, they're at almost $500 million this year alone.
00:41Owner Steve Cohen cannot be pleased at a season-low eight games under .500.
00:46Well, you would think with that kind of money you would buy something better.
00:49I remember when they got Verlander, a lot of Mets fans were saying, hey, we just won the division.
00:56Yeah, I mean, yeah, they just got him this year.
00:59And also, the turning on Buck, I am actually a little surprised about, even for New York fans,
01:03because he just got him to the playoffs last year, and it felt like the Mets fans were in love with Buck last year.
01:10And year two, this quickly, they want him out.
01:12It's a pretty amazing—well, some of them want him out.
01:14I should speak for all of them.
01:16Yankees and Phillies were inactive.
01:18Tonight, the Yanks take on the A's in Oakland.
01:219-40 is the first pitch.
01:23Yanks currently 43-35.
01:26Phillies face the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
01:28Phils come into the game at 40-37.
01:30Basketball, the Knicks are not picking up veteran point guard Derek Rose's $15 million team option next season.
01:38No surprise there.
01:39While Derek was a positive veteran on the team, good player, his minutes were drastically down this year.
01:45You can use that $15 million in better ways.
01:47The Edmonton Oilers' Connor McDavid won the Hart Trophy yesterday, capturing his third MVP award in his career.
01:56McDavid had 64 goals, 89 assists for 153 points this season.
02:02And finally, football.
02:04Possible good news, Giants fans.
02:06Because according to reports, Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones were spotted at a North Jersey high school where they met with kids at a local All-Star game.
02:16Oh, that's fun.
02:17We like the fact that Saquon was there because maybe this indicates that he's in good talks with the Giants in coming back, returning.
02:27Wants to support the local community.
02:28Full-on member of the team.
02:30Remember, when we saw Judge, you know, doing some local things, we started saying, oh, he's never leaving.
02:37And it turned out he didn't leave and he re-signed with the Yankees.
02:40Hopefully, it means the same for Saquon and the Giants because the Giants need Saquon back.
02:45And that is your quick look at sports.
02:46It's 6-16.
02:47And that is your quick look at sports.
