The conversation also dives into Juan Soto’s bold postgame comments after the Mets’ blowout win, why some fans loved the confidence while others rolled their eyes, and the entertaining Yankees Rangers thriller that sparked a heated debate over the true turning point of the game. Plus, callers weigh in on the Madison Square Garden crowd, Karl Anthony Towns’ impact, and why New York sports fans never stop criticizing even their biggest stars.
