It begins with a few brief notes from an organ you might hear at a ball park. Then we hear a crowd apparently getting stirred up just as a game is about to get underway. And then we hear Bob welcoming us, and introducing this show’s theme: Tonight we’re going to head out to the [...]
It was a sister-kisser last week...
Hey, not sure if you’ve heard but the Mets are going to the NLCS. It’s a tremendous accomplishment for a team that most of us didn’t think would even make the playoffs, much less win two series once there. Sure, sure – your neighbor and your co-worker and half the guys at the bar will [...]
Francisco Lindor, who doubled in his previous AB, hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to propel the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Phillies Wednesday at Citi Field. The victory gave the Mets the NLDS win and vaults them into the NLCS against either the Dodgers or [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Please use this space instead of going off topic on the most-recent thread.
Sean Manaea turned in a terrific start and the offense came alive, with nine hits and five walks. And that turned into a 7-2 win over the Phillies and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. The Mets can clinch tomorrow with Jose Quintana taking the mound in another 5:08 p.m. start. Pete Alonso gave [...]

Which is a good thing for the hitters, who were MIA against the Brewers and depending on mostly two players [...]
These are the Comeback Kids! They are creating memories of a lifetime - seemingly on a daily basis. Here’s how crazy it’s been: my 18-year-old son called me from college to revel in the excitement. Not a text. A phone call. Amazing! Sept. 30, 2024 The Mets faced elimination from the playoffs unless they beat the Braves in Atlanta. In one of [...]
This time it was the Phillies who pulled out the late-inning magic, as they scored four runs in the last two innings to emerge with a 7-6 win over the Mets in Game 2 of the NLDS, tying the series at 1-1. After a day off on Monday, the series will resume Tuesday at 5:08 [...]
Here are some random notes as the Mets get ready for Game 2 of the NLDS * The Mets used 18 of the 26 players on their roster in Saturday’s win. And all 18 played some role, either big or small. Even Luisangel Acuna contributed a putout. * Much was made of how none of [...]
Ho-hum, another day, another late-inning comeback by the Mets. A five-run eighth inning, after they managed just one hit thru the first seven innings, led to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. The Mets couldn’t do anything against Phillies starter Zack Wheeler. But he was [...]
Here's hoping the momentum from the last Phillies series carries over.
