What began as a podcast about the Red Sox and Yankees has become so much more. Whether it's focused on the legendary Sox-Yanks rivalry, Sabermetrics or sobriety, Brian Shactman and John Senecal elevate the conversation. These two SuperFans -- one Boston, one New York -- have been in the stands or press box for some of sports' greatest moments, and their perspective will give you plenty to think and talk about.

Both the Sox and Yanks need injured guys to come back. Otherwise, making the playoffs won’t matter. Plus, some great factoids about Tommy John and Josh Baez.
A cultural interpretation of what happened in Toronto Monday night — worth it. Red Sox get a jolt at the right time, and New York may want to protect pitching because it’s all they have.
We break down the trade deadline, focusing on the Sox and Yanks. Boston front office showing some moxie while Brian Cashman must know SOMETHING we don’t.
Trade deadline is Monday. We know the Yankees are buying, and the Sox HAVE TO BE buyers now. The question buying what with what. And it seems both teams might fight over some of the same guys.
Sox fans suffering whiplash while Yankee fans just suffer. John actually thinks New York could miss the playoffs. Plus, World Cup takeaways and John actually makes a TV production mistake. Unheard of!
The first day back could determine whether Sox buy or sell! And SOME news on Aaron Judge. Also, did the All Star Game suck? Duh!
Big changes are coming for the All Star Home Run Derby format. Can the hometown favorite win it? Plus, the Ghost of Angel Hernandez is back! Who is MLB's new "Worst Umpire"?
Probably not, but MATHEMATICALLY, they do! Plus, team updates, All Stars and World Cup.
Don’t get TOO excited Sox fans! But should Yankee fans get THAT nervous? Maybe. Plus, John sings the praises of AUBURN UNIVERSITY.
Tatis Jr and his lost millions, and will Wander get back to MLB? Abner Uribe’s embarrassment. Did Taylor loan Kelce millions? Oh, and we check in on our teams.
The Sox seem so lifeless. The Yanks embarrassed by Subway. But make sure to stay to the end for the Vargas talk and an insider’s view of the ABS system.
Two lifelong Yankee fans reflect on the legendary Yankee announcer — from steak dinners with him, to piping his voice into the living room. And the Red Sox guy chimes in, too.
FINALLY a chance to break down the mess that is the Red Sox. Conclusions may surprise you. AND John has a meltdown (epic!) over Fenway Park.
Yup, it’s Yankees-Red Sox. Predictions and the ONE thing Brian is worried about. Oh, and Mike Trout to New York.
The Yankees aren’t as good as we thought, and maybe, the Sox aren’t as bad? And has parity become a part of baseball (outside of the Dodgers of course)?
The Yankees are at the top. The Sox at the bottom. And John is STILL grumpy. We talk Opening Day, ABS, big contracts for minor leaguers and more.
Division. Wild Card. World Series. MVP. We have it all, including (surprise) Brian ACTUALLY excited about the Sox!
Team USA fails to bring home the gold and should get used to second place. What needs to change and who can do it?!
The WBC has been better than expected – – competitiveness, fun, TV ratings. And how about the Italians?! Certainly not because of the Americans. We’ll talk about how it may end up.
We set up for the WBC a talk about complicated pitching dynamics, and yes, somehow, John Means enters the conversation.
