Where to begin?!
First of all, Sandy Alderson (pictured) did his best to deflect attention away from the story claiming the he -- not the his Manager Terry Collins -- is actually filling out the Mets' lineup card, which the Dynamic Duo were sure to address on Wednesday's radio program.
Well, he got wind of what Boomer and Craig had to say on the issue -- they were clearly not in favor of the idea of the general manager meddling, by the way -- prompting Alderson to suggest that he wouldn't mind seeing a change to the WFAN lineup.
Shots fired!
Craig does have admiration for Alderson's sense of humor on the issue, but now we shall see how the Mets GM handles the Morning Extravaganza counter.
As for the action on the field, after losing 2-1 yesterday in our nation's capital, the Mets will have Matt Harvey on the hill in Washington Thursday afternoon, marking the young right-hander's long-awaited return following Tommy John surgery and for a couple of Mets' fans like Boomer & Craig -- well Boomer anyway -- it's kind of a big deal.
We also have 'a tradition unlike any other' getting underway down south later today, as the 2015 Masters is upon us and with Tiger Woods' entry on everyone's minds, it was the 'Golden Bear' Jack Nicklaus who stole the show with a hole-in-one in the traditional Par 3 Contest.
Finally, after having some fun at the expense of the revolutionary Sandy Alderson early on, Craig sang the praises of Jets rookie GM Mick Maccagnan -- aka 'Mikey Mac' -- who kept his active offseason in motion after signing former Patriots running back Stevan Ridley. While expressing his excitement, Craigie imagined how a day in the life of a workhorse like Mikey Mac might go.
And there you have it...
