Co-co-co-general manager John Ricco stood in front of two dozen members of the press corps and answered pointed questions about Cespedes and Familia and the Mets general direction. Then oh-by-the-way'ed that Noah Syndergaard has hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Seriously, this is just how it's going these days. Josh has the upshot for you, then previews the Padres series.

A no go for Yo. Calcified heels? Closers dealt to the West Coast? New prospects traded in from Oakland? The Mets almost rally off Aroldis Chapman? All of that plus Mickey Callaway's post-game presser.

That feeling of Cespedesless-ness is gone! Yo returns with a Yankee Stadium homer and the Mets win. But is Jeuyrs Familia an ex-Met? Josh recaps a nutty night in the Bronx; Mickey Callaway weighs in on what he knows. The DMP is back, baby!

Josh has run out of announcers to interview during the all star break so he interviews himself while walking down E. 86th Street in Manhattan. If you saw that happen live, we're really sorry.

Wayne Randazzo stops by the podcast to talk about how he and SNY's Steve Gelbs have emerged as the thirtysomething power couple of the Mets media squadron. (Sorry about the use of the word "squadron.") One of the industry's up and coming stars takes you inside his Mets workday as the AllStar break nears its end.

Meet the Maj! Meet the Maj! Step right up and meet the Maj! Chris Majkowski is the 26-year producer/engineer of the Mets radio broadcasts and he has plenty to say.

Inside The Actors Studio with the great radio voice of the Mets Howie Rose. Matteau! Matteau! Matteau! (And also Johan Santana)

Daniel Murphy beats the Mets off the bench. Josh recaps the homestand and previews what's ahead; Mickey Callaway talks to the media after a rain delayed 6-1 loss to the Nats. Happy All Star break...

Two in a row at home??? Yep, for the first time since May. Zach Wheeler wins at CitiField for the first time all year, Conforto homers, and Josh recaps a fine day at the ballpark. Mickey Callaway talks about the changes in Mr. Wheeler while everyone wonders what the heck Dom Smith is still doing here.

Amed "Rosy" Rosario continues to bloom; Josh recaps the 4-2 win vs Washington, Noah Syndergaard returns and talks to the media upon improving to 5-1. Mickey Callaway weighs in and Josh admonishes a jogging Bryce Harper as a bonus.
