Season 7, Ep. 4 — The Nails & The Numbers: Dykstra nostalgia, Mets on the brink, Yanks at 60, and a Whiteout warning
Manage episode 508874984 series 2795687
Dan and Frank are caffeinated and joined in the flesh by Allen “Action” Jackson (plus Rich on the dials) for a Saturday-morning sprint through baseball storylines and a juicy CFB slate.
In this episode:
- Lenny “Nails” Dykstra: the legend, the lunacy, the ’93 Phils memories—and why fans still can’t quit him.
- Yankees: 60 postseason berths is the new flex; Judge at 52 HR with an outside shot at 55; Boone debates and October rotation puzzles.
- Mets: tied for the final NL Wild Card with two to play, but Cincy owns the tiebreaker; sloppy defense + shaky pitching = ulcer watch.
- Phillies: division in hand, bats lively, defense crisp—big question is October rotation balance (three lefties?) and a nervy bullpen hiccup.
- NBA aside: LeBron’s late-career calculus—records, fit, and what “done with the Lakers” might really mean.
- CFB: FSU gets clipped by UVA in 2OT; today’s board features Notre Dame–Arkansas, USC–Illinois, and a massive Oregon–Penn State Whiteout—can Franklin finally bag a top-10 scalp?
Plus: Rich’s rogue camera flash, survivor-pool reminders, and the usual basement/bomb-shelter banter.
