Islanders Talk

Where else are you going to hear Islanders Talk over the New York airwaves but on Sports Talk, right?

Special Thanks to Dan Graziano for Joining Us on Tuesday Night

Just want to extend a big "Thank You" to Dan Graziano, the National Baseball Columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger for joining us the other night.

Dan is also the President of the New York Chapter of the BBWAA. And, not only that, he has authored 2 novels.

Giants Talk and Eli Talk

Ralph Vacchiano joined us last night to talk Giants with us. But, perhaps more importantly, as he's a very good friend of the show, we're more than happy to mention that he's got a brand new book out called The Making of a Quarterback about Eli Manning. It features a foreword by Ernie Accorsi.

Our interview with Ralph went for 50+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Giants talk and can be found at http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg

And, for those in the listening area, Ralph will be doing a book signing at the Book Revue in Huntington on Wednesday September 24th at 7PM.

Neil Best Joins Us Tonight at 10PM

Neil Best, Newsday's Media Watchdog Extraordinaire, joins us tonight to talk all things Sports Media. But, first, we'd like to award him a Victory Lap for breaking--and then sticking with--the Mike & The Mad Dog divorce story.

We'll also delve into Newsday now being owned by Cablevision, the NFL Network, the Olympics and a ton of other relevant topics.

Of course, now that our new co-host is named Mike, we can safely say that we're the only Mike & Chris still working as a team in New York Sports Radio--albeit in a completely commercial-free, no one making a dime from it capacity, that is.

Thanks to All of Our August Guests

Bob Nightengale, National Baseball Writer for USA Today
Kat O'Brien, Yankees Beat Reporter for Newsday

Draft Pick Value Charts

More often than not, NFL teams seem beholden to the Draft Pick Value Charts when contemplating trades.

Andy a "Petty" Thief?

According to Bill Madden's article in today's Daily News, Hank Steinbrenner is expressing a fair amount of displeasure with the $16 Million contract given to Andy Pettitte, due in no small part to Andy's reluctance to fully disclose the extent of his involvement in the Mitchell Report.

But if feeling betrayed by one of the cornerstones of the Yankee dynasty of the 90's isn't bad enough, the biggest blow to Hank and Yankee fans has to be the new revelation that the Pettitte contract put the Yankees out of the bidding for Johan Santana. In fact Madden describes a clear decision that was made among Yankee brass between Pettitte and Santana, a decision that no doubt would have had a different outcome had Andy been completely honest.

Many people around baseball have expected Pettitte to retire in the wake of the Clemens controversy, but from where I am standing it looks like Andy has a controversy of his very own, and it could be the Yankees being the first to act on it.

Then again, according Mark Feinsand's article from just one day before, the Yankees would seem to be "doubling down" on their Pettitte gamble by sticking with him and hoping that his performance on the mound can make up for the damage that has been done. Personally I think it's a moot point either way, because unless Andy wins the AL Cy Young on the way to becoming the ALCS AND World Series MVP's, I don't see how you could ever measure ONE year of Pettitte against SEVEN years of Santana. And that's not even taking into account all the HGH, and lying about HGH and hearings on HGH and then coming clean about HGH and getting HGH from your dad and...well you get the point.

Houston, New York, Washington, Baseball, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!

Adam Rubin from Port St. Lucie

While he usually comes down to talk Mets with us in person, New York Daily News Mets beat writer Adam Rubin joins us from Port St. Lucie to discuss the Santana trade, evaluate the off season, give a preview of what to expect from camp and brag about the beautiful Florida weather. Listen to the full hour long interview right here. If you'd like to download an MP3 of this interview CLICK HERE.




In addition to covering the Mets, Adam is also the author of Pedro, Carlos (and Carlos) and Omar: The Rebirth of the New York Mets which is available wherever books are sold, including the provided link. I am currently busy working on the sequel, entitled Pedro, Carlos, Carlos, David, Jose, Johan, Oliver, John and Omar: A Guide to Fitting as Many Names as Possible into the Title of a Book.
