Hello Friends. We recorded this episode on Monday, BEFORE the Wild Card series started. Jess wrote the draft of this recap in the 7th inning of Game 3, right after the Brewers hit back to back HRs. You know us, we immediately assumed game over, and so she wrote, and we quote- "By the time this comes out, we are 90% sure the Mets will have been knocked out of the playoffs."  Welp, things...

Happy Friday Friends!  We are warning you in advance, this episode is a little disjointed, due to recording it while watching an important Mets vs. Braves game with Wild Card implications (Spoiler alert, they lost the game. Badly). There will be a few times we zone out, turn to the TV, groan, etc. While we do apologize, hopefully it also gives you a chuckle, to see how easily this team can rule an...
