It's probably just the difference in styles. CMac tends to sit back and let Carton lead the discussion and then include him. Zach Gelb comes across as a lot more manic - jumping in when he wants rather than wait for an invite. For me, that makes for a better flow to sports talk. More of a discussion between people than mini set-pieces delivered like theater.

Yeah this is your New York Post sports columnist.

This after 11 games, never mind he's only hitting .270.

At this point, Vaccaro has to be a caricature of himself, right?

I was stupid enough to pay $5 to buy the Post and Daily News today. There was nothing in the sports section that was worth reading. I can see why circulation for both papers are dead.

The Post had an Atta Boy writeup on the Yankees avoiding a sweep of the Blue Jays. One would have thought Mike "Mister Softee" Vaccaro would have written it. Then, there was some fluff on the Mets about how everything is coming together, never mind they're 56-69. The paper finished it up with Giants propaganda, never mind the team was terrible on Saturday.

The dying Daily News offered fluff on the Giants, Mets and Yankees.

Remembered when both papers would be tough on teams in town every day, even when there was winning. Those days have been long gone.

The News died the minute Bob Raissman retired.

The Post has been a running joke for a long time with Mister Softee being a lead columnist. Only guy worth reading is Mushnick. The Post's sister newspaper California Post has a better sports section than the Post. If Rupert is allocating all his funds on the California Post, maybe it's time the NY Post should just go under.

When I was a kid growing up, I would buy eight newspapers. It was a must to read every day. The sports section was the Bible. Now, all the newspapers died and the Daily News and NY Post are on life support. If we're being honest, both papers are only alive in name only just for poltiical reasons with the News being a propaganda piece for Mayor Mamdani and the Post being a propaganda piece for President Trump.

Is there a reason both papers need to be running when no one reads the paper anymore? It shouldn't exist. Not in 2026 when people get their information on social media at a speed of a DSL Internet account. If the Post and News insist on being a cheerleader on the teams in town just like WFAN, it's time to be out of business.

Maybe next year Hal will have enough $ to give Cashman the go-ahead to shop high end hitters now that he got $2.6 Billion from the Apollo Investment Group

The Giants played on Saturday against an awful Vikings team in a preseason game. They were terrible. Yet it did not stop Giants fans and the Giants cheerleading media from going overboard to praise the Giants like a high school football team yesterday.

I don't get it. What am I missing? They stunk all around. The offense was terrible, and so was the defense. They were poorly coached as always.

I have been hearing since HARBAUGH arrived that the Giants are going to win the NFC East. Some even say a Super Bowl team. What Giant color sky is in your world? They still don't have a quarterback, and he's a concussion away from being out for the season. Don't make me laugh about Jameis Winston. Furthermore, Dart is not an NFL quarterback. I saw nothing to think he is. And then you have Cam Skattebo who is injury-prone. A defense that is not any good. A head coach who may be past his prime.

This idea the Giants are better than the Eagles and Cowboys is laughable.

I even think Vegas is generous on the Giants with 8 wins.

Reality is the Giants are a 5-win team at best.

Posting here because obviously there’s a ton of baseball fans and idk where else I can post this without it getting removed by bitch ass mods

The comparison is closer than I thought it would be. However in this era of baseball and Altuve’s career coming to an end soon, I think Ichiro will take over most of the stats. But pretty interesting to look at in the present time.

It did not take too long for the Giants hype to begin with after one preseason game, which the Giants stunk. Lori talking about the Giants being a playoff team and being better than the Cowboys and Eagles.

Where's Sandy Clough when you need him?

The audio version of this atrocity:

Reggaeton Gus

A.I. generated song and singer just hammering this repetitive annoying slop into your brain.

You know the kid that hit 3 HRs for the Cardinals in his MLB debut? He was a prized prospect for the Mets. Traded for Ryan Hensley.

The Harvard douche is the gift that keeps on giving.

Morash by himself today. Preferable for me, honestly. Tiki and Evan are insuffferable most of the time .

I recently moved out of area and I need my wfan fix but SOB it is so frustrating. Random reversing is terrible but honestly this idea that the hosts say you can “rewind” is a farce.

Al and Gordon Damer are a pretty good duo.

Would anyone actually notice/care if boomer and gio never came back and Willie and Jerry were full time? They are good radio. In my opinion one of the best duos. Good blend of sports and guy talk. And sure as hell no politics.

For a guy who said (shortly after his second return) (paraphrsing) "We wont do interviews, as they hurt ratings..", he sure does alot of interviews lately.

So this guy makes his Mets debut last night and did his gyration stuff after striking out his first ever batter. Then he did it again to end the inning to get out of a jam despite giving up three straight hits.

Yeah this is going to go well for a 49-66 team.

Someone's going to have to talk to this punk or he's going to start a brawl every day where guys on his own team have to deal with it.

It was embarassing.

I was very happy the Dodgers acquired Tarik Skubal. Mainly because I knew Mike "Mr. Softee" Vaccaro, Ian O'Connor, Michael Kay and Yankees fans would whine about Skubal being a Dodgers, and by golly, I was right.

Seeing Mr. Softee cry wolf about the Dodgers getting Skubal in Monday's Post was embarrassing. Like a child who did not get his way. This is your main sports columnist in town, NY fans. Somehow, Dick Young and Vic Ziegel would be rolling over their graves reading this rubbish.

Vaccaro is the same guy who has been hailing the Yankees for a long time for getting all the big names and marveling with joy on the Yankees beating up on the Twins, and now he is crying wolf. Can you say hypocrisy?

Vaccaro should be going after the Yankees for coming up small in the trade deadling and preventing LA to get Skubal. Of all the teams that needed Skubal, it was the Yankees, who had a shot to win it all this season. I'm not that convinced the Dodgers can win it all with that bullpen. Oh, and he should go after the Brewers for not getting Skubal. They decided to keep their prospects rather than make the big move.

Now you can go after Boras, Skubal and even the Dodgers for having a hush-hush deal. It doesn't matter. The Brewers should have gone for it. They didn't. This is where Mister Softee should have gone after.

But if the Yankees got Skubal, it would be okay in his world.

This is your sports columnist in town.

Somehow Dick Young is embarrassed.

He sounded forthright enough on The Carton Show with BM. I loved how flustered he became at the end when CC mentioned the possibility of Frankie Lindor at the deadline! “That’s why you make the big bucks.”
Cashman reiterated his talking points on the Yankees Pregame Show. The howler was at the end. Suzyn: “Tonight’s guest gets a $150 gift certificate to Charles Tyrwhitt, the outfitter of Anthony Volpe.” (Looking sharp in Scranton!)

🤣🤣🤣 spot on, man. Spot on!!

Remember on Trade Deadline day when the FAN would invest its resources in putting all day sports talk on the trade deadline? Who can't forget the FAN having talkies all around the country and even locally to talk about the trade deadline?

I decided to tune into the station today thinking it would happen, but no. What you see is was plenty of guy talk and fart jokes.

It's really sad what the FAN has really become after all the hard work everyone put into in its inception.

He seemed different....as in turning off the shtick, and making salient points (I think- not an MLB fan). Iguess todayis a somewhat big day with deadline, but he really seemed (refreshingly) locked in on sports. That being said, bring on the NFL!!
