Mike Wilner, host of Sportsnet590's "Blue Jays Talk" postgame radio show, received a special phone-in guest for Monday night's edition.

Earlier in the day, Wilner criticized Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons' choice to rest catcher Russell Martin and start backup Luke Maile against the New York Yankees. That decision had little effect, however, as Toronto went on to rout New York 7-1.

After the game, a certain "John from the Bronx" offered Wilner a piece of his mind.

Gibbons' sly digs didn't end there, though.

"What kind of ratings do you get on this show anyways?" he asked on the program, according to MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm.

Absolutely savage.
