Jerry's Monday morning update was littered with highlights of both the Yankees and Mets, after the baseball locals got it done on the diamond Sunday.

The Yanks were in Minnesota and left with a 7-2 win over the Twins, taking two of three for the series.  On Saturday, Alex Rodriguez, who turns 40 today, went deep not once, not twice, but three times at the Stadium.  Considering how well the Yankees are playing, Boomer and Craig wondered if they could even justify making a move prior to the trade deadline.
