Five games out of the NL Wild Card with 15 to play and four teams to overtake is not the scenario the Mets wanted to be in down the stretch. And they had their chances to change that. Nevertheless, now decisions must be made. So, naturally, we play a fun game of Run It Back or It's A Wrap with all the Mets' impeding free agents. Good times.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mets won their first series since a sweep over the Nats nearly three weeks ago. The bats came alive. The pitching was on point. The Citi Field crowd was jumping. It was almost like the last month didn't happen. OK, let's not go that far. Then BooGate erupted postgame. We discuss it all.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Mets were swept out of Philadelphia this weekend, knocked into third place in the NL East, and a half-dozen-plus back in the NL Wild Card race. Not what you want to see. Fifty games isn't a whole lot of time to right the ship. The Mets have a decision to make: fight on or turn back.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

That was not an ideal week in South Florida. Yikes. Losing three of four to the last-place Marlins was likely not on the itinerary, but there isn't much the Mets can do about that now. Onward and upward, family.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Well, that was a kick in the gut. Not only did the Mets lose two-of-three at home to the resurgent Reds this weekend, but they also couldn't come to terms with their first-round pick in the 2021 draft, Vanderbilt right-hander Kumar Rocker, on a deal, leaving them in a bit of a pickle. We break it all down.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We could talk about the resiliency of this team for hours. We capped it off at like 30 minutes this time. Between the Mets' offense waking up, Tylor Megill's ascent, the acquisition of Rich Hill, and yet another series win, this group is rolling at just the right time.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Mets had what experts refer to as a "bad weekend" in Pittsburgh. Francisco Lindor and Jacob deGrom are both shelved indefinitely and the Mets lost their first two against the Buccos in most frustrating ways before coming alive to salvage the series finale on Sunday.

Not an ideal week, friends. The Mets still can't find much consistency, whether at the plate or just with respect to winning games. The division is tightening up by the day. Injuries continue to mount. Onward and upward, because this isn't gonna cut it.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sure, the Mets' offense has been non-existent and they can't seem to string together more than a couple of wins at a time. But what, us worry? With the roster regaining its original form once again and plenty of time for everyone to get re-adjusted, we are more than confident that this team will find its way.  Learn more about your ad choices.

After an absolutely putrid couple of weeks at the plate, the Mets' bats finally came alive on Wednesday night to split a home series with Atlanta. The fact that the offensive outburst coincided with the return of Michael Conforto is notable. Even more so is that, even in the face of more injuries, this team just keeps plugging away. It may also be time to discuss making a trade...  Learn more abou...
