We waited all winter for this. Every time we got swaddled up to stumble down the frigid city streets, we said "baseball will come back, baseball will come back, at least one day baseball will come back." And somewhere, a monkey's paw curled...

This week on Hits Different, two fans of the orange and blue New York team talk about a three-game losing streak (which would become four shortly after taping) and exchange groans and bone-deep shudders. The only way things could possibly get worse is if time proceeds in a forward motion and the Mets fly down to Atlanta next week for a four-game series. The first game is the day of an eclipse. Will the Mets look at it? We wouldn't be surprised. Nothing can surprise us now! We also talk about which celebrities should become Mets fans, which should stop, and whether it should be legal to insider trade a little bit.

Thank you to our friend James Rainis for our beautiful theme song and thank you to Paul Windle for our logo which we love.

On the first episode of our anti-math baseball podcast, we talk about the biggest headlines of the MLB off-season, including the one about Mets pitcher Joey Lucchesi's live-in guru named Francesco. We speculate about what we'll eat at Citi Field this year, and we wonder whether those "strike probability" calculators on Apple TV broadcasts are totally made up.

David's feedback after recording was "we prob did 50 things wrong," and that's right. We will get better and better if you just give us a chance. Don't be mad at us!
