John Henry and the Red Sox have to sell Jones, Mego, and Arcand with their play on the field. John Henry is not invested, the players want out, Alex Cora too. Why should any fans care? The way ownership acted this offseason is shameful. Arcand speaks from the perspective of a Boston fan and says, "We are not trying to tell people not to listen to games. I just do not like this. It is not good for the city of Boston or anyone that the Red Sox are bad."

Multiple people have reported that Dustin Pedroia reached out to Rex Sox ownership to give them a piece of his mind. However, WEEI's Rob Bradford told Jones and Mego that the Red Sox themselves called Dustin first to ask him to help them out. He said no, but then gave them a piece of his mind. In this segment, Jones and Mego discuss this breaking news.

The first week of enforcement of the sticky stuff rule resulted in dropping of pants and threats to do so, the ejection of Joe Girardi for calling out Max Scherzer after demanding a substance check mid-inning, and Hector Santiago winning the dubious honor of  first pitcher suspended under the new world order. Pottymouth is still grooving on her visit to Fenway. It’s a toss-up if the best part was the salute to Dustin Pedroia or the Red Sox sweeping the Yankees (again). Patti notes that qHAR (quality Hair Above Replacement) directly factors into how excited we are about multi home run games.  Witness  the well-deserved media-frenzy regarding Fernando Tatis, Jr., and the barely a peep about Schwarber, Winker, and  Mountcastle doing the exact same thing. Gotta be the hair. In other qHAR  notes, we approve of Jazz Chisolm going purple, and wonder who will move into the rankings now that Freddy Galvis is regrettably out for a month or more.

Although the All Star caps meet with NCiB approval, we join the almost unanimous panning of Nike’s in-game jersey design. Yogi Berra gets a Forever stamp, the DR qualifies for the Olympics, and NC State loses their shot at the College World Series because of COVID.

UNFILTERED White Sox Dave aka "COWBOY" returns to The Yipps Podcast, to shoot the shit with the boys. We start with why the Hall of Fame voting process is as fraudulent as Robinhood, and why nobody gives a shit about Tom Verducci, and transition to Surviving Barstool and SLEEPWALKING TO THE NYC SUBWAY!?!?! 

 Baseball news: The Colorado Rockies have officially lost their minds and traded Nolan Arenado in a deal so stupid, a senile sloth would have vetoed that.
