JJ opens by recapping a rough weekend for the Mets, who lost another series, struggled to hit, and failed to sign first-round pick Kumar Rocker (1:07). Then, he gets into the resurgent Yankees, backed by new guy Anthony Rizzo, and why it’s like watching a whole new team (8:10). Next, JJ reacts to some listener voicemails (16:40) before chatting with basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla about the NBA draft, the Knicks and the Nets, and USA basketball (36:31).

We always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
