Bobby and Alex discuss Chris Christie’s wasted 80-grade corruption potential, plus MLB’s new economic reform committee designed to increase revenue parity and navigate the Bally Sports bankruptcy. Then, they bring on Lindsay Zoladz, pop music critic for the New York Times, to review Joe West’s seminal debut album “Blue Cowboy,” as well as his spoken word sophomore effort “Diamond Dreams,” before answering a listener question about banishing a baseball stat.
