It may seem like all hope may be lost, but Chris Scott and Mike Bernardo discuss which players can step up as well discuss other top news stories for the week of 3/3/25-3/9/25

It's been 35 months since our last episode, but Michael Bernardo and Christopher Scott are back and having a blast. So much has happened over the past few years. We each have our own crib, but one thing has remained the same - We sill love to banter about sports. Join us in today's episode as we talk about Juan Soto and the Mets, Aaron Judge and the Yankees, and so much more in the world of New York Sports! DF3 we're back!

Mike Bernardo and Chris Scott are back with a new season of Dinger For 3! This episode features predictions for the 2022 MLB Season, thoughts on the Yankees and Mets offseason and the season to come, reaction to Brian Cashman's comments about the 2017 season, reaction to Jacob deGrom's injury, and a brief discussion about the Nets, Knicks, Giants, and Jets.

We have a World Series, and it features the two No. 1 seeds. Wow, go figure. Many analysts and gurus were thinking this year's World Series could feature two random teams with the playoff expansion, but that wasn't the case. We're giving World Series predictions, what the Mets and Yankees can learn from the Dodgers and Rays, as well as NFL power rankings.

Only four teams remain, but it looks like we are heading for a battle of the South East in the upcoming World Series. The Rays have a commanding lead and the Braves entered Wednesday's Game 3 against the Dodgers with a 2-0 series lead! What does this mean? It means FAILURE for the New York Yankees! Chris Scott sounds off on the Bronx Bombers. Also, the Lakers win the NBA Finals against the Heat, as expected. And we review the NFL Power Rankings.

Wow! What a Wild Card Round! Eight teams remain in the MLB postseason. We'll jump into our predictions for each series, as well as discuss the NFL's Power Rankings entering Week 4's weekend of games,

This will be an MLB Postseason, unlike any other. A total of 16 teams have a shot at winning the World Series as the MLB modified their playoff structure to add an entire Wild Card Series to their postseason. We're not going to argue about if it is a good thing for the game. But we will make a case for why each team could win the 2020 world title. Get ready for predictions, revelations, and a fun discussion on the upcoming 2020 MLB postseason.

Being a sports fan during a pandemic is a challenge, but it could also be therapeutic. We're just happy to be talking sports again, and we think we picked the perfect time to jump back into the sporting universe. The MLB Playoffs are basically here, the NFL season has started, and the NBA Finals are right around the corner. Welcome back to Dinger For 3!
