LIVE at 8pm ET, we welcome Faith and Fear in Flushing & NL Town's Greg Prince to the program. Well, we all spoke too soon as just before Christmas, word came down that the Mets were also concerned with the Carlos Correa medicals.

Well, the last game has been played and the offseason is here. Congrats to Dusty Baker and the Houston Astros on their championship, and from a strictly selfish, Metsian perspective, we're thankful we won’t have to live in another winter where a division rival is world champions (still, congrats to the Phillies on their phantastic playoff run.)Quickly and swiftly, the Mets signed Edwin Díaz t...

LIVE at 9pm ET, The Metsian Podcast welcomes back John Coppinger, aka Metstradamus, to the program. The "WOW" factor is still lingering. With the listlessness settling in and the familiar Marlins peskiness keeping us down, Eduardo Escobar put the Mets on his back and ensured, coupled with the Nats walk-off win against the Braves in DC, that the team would head into their final 3 regular...

LIVE at 9pm ET, we huddle on this Metsian offday to discuss, what else, our favorite baseball team. Joining us tonight is Faith and Fear in Flushing and NL Town's Greg Prince. The Mets found themselves out of sole possession of first place after losing three straight, two to the Nationals and the first game against the Pirates. Tied to start Wednesday's doubleheader, the Mets responded b...

LIVE at 9pm ET, the Metsian crew gets together for the latest edition of The Metsian Podcast. The Mets right a bunch ol' time wrongs while maintaining a lead in the eastern division.

LIVE at 9pm ET, we welcome Tumaro Media's Phil Maillard to have a healthy Metsian conversation with Sam, Rich and Mike. The Mets have been rolling since the All-Star Break, staving off their closest competitor and going 15-4 since then. They may have not made a "major" move at the All-Star Break, but they've gotten major production from the new additions of Tyler Naquin, Daniel...

Double, double toil and trouble; summer burns, and dog days bubble.  After two losses against the Padres, the resilient Mets responded with a dramatic takedown of the New York Yankees in the subway series.  They thus reestablished a three-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves.  Alas, what will prove to be a wild second half of the season is excitedly underway.  With the trade deadline now...

Do you feel it?  Mets Fever is in the air.  Fans everywhere are becoming wildly happy and contagious.  Suppose you're breaking out in blue and orange dots.  That might be due to the Mets on Wednesday completing a series victory at Atlanta, taking two out of three games against their top division rival, the defending champion Braves.  As they say, if you want to be the best, you must beat the...

Remain calm.  All is well.  Or is it?  The Mets barely survived the month of June but still hold an increasingly tenuous lead over the Braves.  Will it last?  Their recent play brings that and many other questions into play.  While the Braves and Phillies hammer away at each other in Philadelphia this evening, Sam Maxwell and Mike Lecolant try to sort things out in a quick reaction episode of The...

The deeper we get into this 2022 season, the more the Mets distinguish themselves as one of baseball's top contenders.  Team depth and resiliency have kept them atop the division and continue pushing this team forward; injuries be damned.  Please join Sam, Rich, and Mike as they reconvene to discuss everything going right in Flushing, along with other Mets minutiae.  Tonight's episode of...

The New York Mets built a comfortable lead in the NL East. It's a good thing they did, because they have hit the skids a bit on the their current California trip, going 3-4 to date, while the Braves and Phillies have each won seven in a row. The Mets' lead is "down" to seven games, and the injuries are piling up. Though both avoided tthe IL for now, Pete Alonso and Starling Mar...

LIVE at 9pm ET, the Metsian Podcast comes together, basking in another series win by the New York Metsies and hoping the team can continue to stay resiliant as they deal with whatever problem comes their way. We'll touch upon the Max Scherzer injury news and the momentous walk-off win in its shadow, our thoughts on options for the rotation while we wait for one of Jake, Max or both to return,...

It's been said before but bears repeating.  The first-place Mets lead the National League in wins and still have yet to lose a series this season.  They're getting it done with solid pitching, fielding, and timely hitting.  However, we've seen this before.  The season is about a fifth of the way through.  So, let us pause and ask what differentiates this team from last year's M...
