Mets Podcast - We Gotta Believe

SUPER SIZED We Gotta Believe for The Big One. KFC and Clem took to radio to hear directly from the miserable Mets' fans themselves, including the one and only Frank the Tank. A person can be an artist in anything and the Mets art is losing. Clemstradamus predicted this epic collapse almost a month ago to the exact date and we are left to pick up the pieces. Paul C-word Cuncel set us on the path an...

This year's Players Weekend was for the haters. We hated the jerseys, we hated the Braves and we hated the outcome. From Hechy and Keuchel to Josh Donaldson, every former or missed-opportunity Met destroyed us. But guess what? The Braves sweep was a non-factor. The Mets are no better or worse than they were before and the Cubbies are coming to town! The immovable object meets the unstoppable force...

KFC and Clem hopped on for a laaaate night rain delayed episode (thanks for nothing MLB) to talk about the Mets sweeping the big bad Indians out of New York as JD Davis ascended to full-blown rockstar level at Citi Field complete with a new song. The guys also talked about Mama Clancy making her content debut on a competitor to list all the very valid reasons she hates her son, how the Mets being...

As the Mets enter their schedule gauntlet, KFC and Clem discuss whether the team will be playing meaningful baseball in September and give a breakdown of how each series needs to fall in order to get to that magical number 86. Also, Howie Rose and Gary Cohen need a "designated survivor" plan because they can NEVER both be off at the same time again. Gary Apple is trash, Gary Cohen deserves a raise...

Cleminem makes good on his promise to paint his head shoe polish black, KFC sucks his son into the Mets' life of misery and we recap the Nats series magic. The bandwagon is getting full, but there's no room for that Yankee fan fraud. We've got scooters on the field, scooter's jersey being ripped and a celebrity death match between Lenny "Nails" Dykstra and The Bagel Boss. This season has been full...

The boys are hot, Scooter and the Big Man are busting the city in half and we've got a brand new hashtag for the franchise! A lot can happen in a week, but KFC and Clem did not expect to be living in post-cuncel purgatory instead of Cuncelina. Is this recent rally just feeding into the Wilpon's evil plan to not have to spend next season or is it ACTUALLY POSSIBLE that we grab the final WC spot? On...

Buyers? Sellers? WHAT ARE WE DOING?! KFC and Clem break down the Marcus Stroman shocker, the Vargas deal and what this team could possibly be thinking. We also come to the realization that other teams are just smarter than the Mets and that baseball is for the nerds. Bonus: The McNeil rally puppy, Lisa Ann's induction into Fans of Anarchy, Big Earl and we start workshopping a new name for the pod...

On this week's pod KFC and Clem Cuncel da Harvey (permanently), we talk about the disaster in San Francisco, hold a Mets intervention for Kyle, discuss the Dom Smith/Luis Castillo dropped ball and interview the hits GOD himself, Jeff McNeil. How good is Jeff? Guy picked up baseball as a backup plan his senior year of high school!  We learn about his come-up, how he ended up with a knob-less bat, a...

Are the Mets ruining your summer too? KFC and Clem have an idea, get rid of EVERYONE. The dog days of summer keep coming sooner and sooner and it begs the question, if you had to trade Alonso to save the franchise from the Wilpons, would you? We also talk about the Mets' phenomenon that turns good players bad and former players great and our Mt. Rushmore of guys who never lived up to their potenti...

Pete Alonso is YOUR 2019 HR Derby Champion and anyone who says otherwise is an asshole. Vladdy Jr. may have put on the show people will be talking about for years to come, but at the end of the day Polar Bear Pete is laughing all the way to the bank. KFC and Clem breakdown his struggles with cousin Derek, the team's impending sell-off (of players not the franchise), how we can possibly be in the b...

KFC and Clem reflect on the season post-Cuncel and come to the realization that ALL New York sports are a dumpster fire.  The guys preview the Subway Series, come up with ideas for a Wilpon protest, discuss ApologyGate, plan an "in memoriam" and ask the question "Where in the world is Jed Lowrie?" There's no escape to this season, but at least we have the Knicks Nets???  You can find every episode...

KFC and Clem had their work cut out for themselves this week trying to keep up with all the Mets' embarrassments. We welcomed the team's new 82-year-old pitching coach, Phil "The Vulture" Regan, listed 60 Mets misery moments, started the #FireWilpon movement and plunged deeper into the blackhole that is the New York Metropolitans. You may think you're deep now, but there's further to go and "we al...

KFC and Clem recap the St. Louis debacle, Kevin and Pete Alonso get into it on Twitter over the weather, Paul DeJong is a first-ballot, HOF Mets Killer, MFA begins the tradition of passing down scarring stories to the kids, Jeff Wilpon IS a drug dealer and Clem is taking us all to Cuncelina on this week's pod!!  You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

KFC and Clem are joined by Yankee rat Hubbs to recap the Subway Series split, formal apologies are made to Aceon "The Big Ugly" Vargas, the guys try to decide what the team should do by the All-Star break and a Cuncel contest is proposed. This upcoming schedule could decide the ultimate fate of the Mets, but in the mean time we're still 33-34 and only 5 games back from first so We Gotta Believe!! ...

Darren Meenan, founder of the 7 Line Army, joins KFC and Clem for this week's pod.

Prime Members can listen ad...

KFC and Clem hop on for yet another emergency episode to break down the carnage caused by Edwin Diaz's Chernobyl level meltdown late last night in LA on what should have been a humongous statement win.  The guys discuss how impressively efficient Diaz's blown save was, why his struggles hurt even more considering the performance of the rest of the team (including Pete Alonso being a bona fide STUD...

Deep into their 20-game stretch, the Mets are still hovering around .500 and with the product on the field, that's all we can hope for. Tomas "The Answer" Nido, Hech and a bunch of random 3-run HRs are getting us through, but without some help from Brodie that's where we'll stay. This is the life of a Mets fan and we can thank our fathers for their sins!!  You can find every episode of this show o...

After the Mets sent us all to what felt like rock bottom on Monday following the Marlins sweep and Yo debacle, the team did what they always do and built us back up so we can be hurt again and sent to an even deeper rock bottom. Which is why we have established Mets Fans Anonymous to hash out all our problems that this team causes for us in a support group.  We discussed the different highlights o...

We are on the verge of a cuncel after getting swept by the Marlins. Will Mickey Callaway be fired? Are the Mets better than this? Will RObinson Cano ever run to first base? Jarred Kelenic is, of course, fantastic. Things are not great, but, We Gotta Believe!! *SPECIAL YO INJURY UPDATE* You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free o...
