Jeffrey Bellone ("Mets Fix") is here to discuss the Mets' hot play since the deadline. We talk about what's next for 1B and 2B, the new-look bullpen, the future of Andy Greene, and whether this season can be a long-term positive. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Jeff Cohen ("Baseball & BBQ") is here to discuss this strange feeling of optimism, whether Stearns did enough at the deadline, Jefry Yan, Nate Lavender, LRJ, and more. We also discuss the need for a Mercy Rule in another edition of "Jeff's Brilliant Ideas." Finally, our host blasts Rob Manfred for failing to do something that Roger Goodell gets right. Join us! #Mets #LGM

The trade deadline has passed. How did David Stearns do? Did he atone for last year's deadline disaster? Jeff talks about it with Dylan Hysen. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Darryl Strawberry is here, with co-author Jerome Preisler, to discuss their new book, Another Life. We talk about the '86 Mets, Davey, Gary, finding your purpose, and more. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Jeff discusses current events, Brett Baty, the trade deadline, and the impact of coaching turnover. Jeff then comments on the Hall of Fame Ceremony (Rob Manfred is involved), and we close with the NLT Mailbag. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Guest co-host Kevin Chapman joins the show to discuss whether the Mets are so bad that they've become the Jets. Also, we assess Andy Green's tenure as Interim Manager, if David Stearns should become an ex-POBO, and if there is a path to optimism for next season. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Forty seasons have passed since 1986, and five since the groundbreaking docuseries Once Upon a Time in Queens aired on ESPN to tell the world about the year the lights stayed on Shea Stadium late into October. To commemorate both Met milestone anniversaries, director Nick Davis joins Jeff Hysen and Once Upon... contributor Greg Prince to recall the teamwork that made the dream — of presenting a monumental story of a monumental championship — work.

Jeff's guest canceled, so it's "Just Jeff", in 3 parts: 1) "Jeff's Brilliant Ideas" tells how to improve the dull All-Star Game (1:30); 2) it's the "NLT Mailbag" (4:15); and, 3) in honor of episode #250, we countdown the Top 10 episodes of our first 5 years (13:30). Join us!

Mark Simon (Sports Info Solutions) is here to discuss Carlos' firing, how "Run Prevention" is going, a move that should be made to improve the defense, and more. We then go back to 1986 to discuss Sid Fernandez's greatness. Jose Valentin, Charlie O'Brien, and Roy Staiger are also mentioned. Join us! #Mets #LGM
