In honor of Halloween, Keith spent part of Tuesday night's show lamenting the scary sports scene in New York, starting with the Mets, who flatlined in 2023 despite their hyped rotation led by Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, both of whom were traded before the deadline.
"Those guys are skeletons," Keith said. "You had to get them out of here. They were shells of themselves, so much so that the owner had to get the manager and the GM out of here."
Then there's the Giants, who appear to be done already this season after coming into the year with plenty of hype following a trip to the divisional round last season.
"They snuck up on teams last year," Keith said. "You're not sneaking up on anybody anymore with the Coach of the Year and a $40 million quarterback…we saw what happened Week 1."
As for the Yankees, Keith was already painfully reminded of what happened to their season thanks to a clever Halloween costume that he saw.
"I saw a woman dressed as Aaron Judge with the Dodgers right field wall attached to her," Keith said. "She had like a piece of cardboard or poster board with the chain fence. It was funny, but it wasn't funny, because that was the whole season."
The list goes on and on, and Keith simply wants to know when the scariness, and the pain, will end.
"It's a tough time in New York sports," Keith said. "We thought the Liberty were gonna get us a championship…and they couldn't hit a basket. We had to watch the Aces celebrate in Brooklyn. Maybe the Knicks can get back to where they were last year, but I wouldn't count on it. We can't have nice things.
"The Mets or Yankees were supposed to be in October…I'm getting deep in the weeds looking for the Red Bulls and Gotham FC. We want to win! Nobody gets into this to suffer like we've been suffering in New York."
