The Mets are two weeks into the 2019 season.

The 2019 Mets are ready to play ball. Jay and Will are in the best podcasting shape of their lives and ready to make the jump to all-star podcasters in 2019. Join them as they welcome your 2019 NEW YORK METS!

Just before David Wright played his last game for the Mets Jay and Will sat down to talk about his career and his future. Then it's time to say goodbye to the 2018 Mets and to look forward to next year. It's a long winter. We'll see you on the other side of the break.

Why tune in to watch the Mets when they're 14 games out in September? Because it beats no Mets at all. We've loved other teams and left them behind, but will we ever leave the Mets behind?

Just when we had given up, the Mets started playing decent baseball again. Dom Smith gives and Dom Smith takes but it's not his fault: it's just the Mets. Will stands corrected about Zach Wheeler. It's fun to talk about the Mets again.

After a brief delay Jay and Will return to talk about new stops of the Flushing Transit Authority line. The dissapearance of Dom Smith is briefly considered before the guys embark on a psychological experiment to try and salvage the season. This one gets weird but it will help you cope.

The All Star Break is over. It's Subway Series time and The Mets are inexplicably still playing baseball games. That doesn't mean we can't have some fun speculation about who will be the next Met to pack his bags and what the heck is going through Mickey Callaway's head.

It's July and the Mets season has gone off of the rails. The team is near the basement of the NL East, the GM is on leave and we're thinking about the golden age of HBO original programming.

This episode digs deep and covers a lot of history. This one owes a big debt of graditude to the teriffic Good Fundies podcast. Over at Good Fundies they presented a historical look at the many missteps of the Wilpon regime, which serves as the jmping off point for this episode. We highly reccomend their work.
