On the Eve of the First Subway Series of the Year, ESPN New York's Mets beat reporter Adam Rubin joined us for a no-holds-barred, behind the scenes look at the State of the Mets.  Who will be traded?  What will happen with the Wilpons?  What does the future hold for this team?

As we're commercial-free, the interview is 100% Mets Talk.

As he's been doing for many years with us, Giants beat reporter Ralph Vacchiano from the New York Daily News, SiriusXM Radio and SNY joined us to review the recent Draft Picks of Big Blue.  As we can't avoid it, we also do some Lockout Talk,  Please note that the the first 30 seconds and last 30 seconds of the interview are missing.  It's really just the hi's and goodbye's.  So, we start with talk about Camp Eli.

Chris Botta, former VP of Communications for the New York Islanders, now runs an independent Blog called Islanders Point Blank which is also affiliated with Fanhouse and SNY.  Chris was with the team for 20 years, years that included Mike Milbury, John Spano and the Gang of Four (should I go on?).  So, obviously, Chris is uniquely qualified to give his thoughts on all things Islanders and to regale us with stories of the sometimes sublime, sometimes ridiculous, history of the team.

Chris was kind enough to give Sports Talk an EXCLUSIVE when he read from e-mails that he received from John Spano from Federal Prison.  The interview is 49+ commercial-free minutes in MP3 format.  You can follow Chris on Twitter, too.
