    For the sake of the kids

    Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing the latest in the Pete Alonso saga, including the brutally honest comments Steve Cohen made at Amazin’ Day about the negotiations. We also recount our own personal experiences at Amazin’ Day and talk about the A.J. Minter and Ryne Stanek signings. We then discuss accusations against Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara of covering up child sex abuse.  We also congratulate Rylee Pay for becoming the first full-time female broadcaster in Triple-A. We also talked about the offseason, the current free agent market, and labor issues - what the deal is with Pete Alonso’s free agency, whether the Dodgers are good or bad for baseball, Laura’s 2025 predictions, and more. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

    Home Run Applesauce in Conversation: Bobby Bonilla

    Welcome to Home Run Applesauce in Conversation, a podcast from Fans First Sports Network where we invite interesting people on the show to talk about themselves, the Mets, and more. Today, we welcome Bobby Bonilla to the show. Bobby was, at the time, the highest paid player in baseball when the Mets signed him in 1992. After being traded away during the 1995 season, Bonilla returned to the Mets in 1999 and aided in their playoff push. We talk to Bobby about his time as a Met, his infamous "Bobby Bonilla Day" every July 1, and a lot more. Here is a link to the article by Ted Berg that perfectly describes why the Mets' deferring Bonilla's money was a win for everyone. Bobby was on the show today to promote the Players' Trust Playmakers Classic, taking place on February 18, 2025 at Warehouse215 in Phoenix, AZ. The Playmakers Classic is not your typical fundraiser—it's an evening designed to engage, entertain, and inspire. Enjoy nonstop entertainment, food, wine and spirit tastings, live performances, and friendly competitions that make this event truly one-of-a-kind. Join Major League Baseball Players as we celebrate the spirit of giving back and raise crucial funds to support life-changing programs that uplift youth and communities in need across the U.S. and around the world. For more on the event, visit the Players Trust website. Tickets are available here. Go to HomeRunApplesauce.com for information on how to join our Patreon. And, as always, let's go Mets.

    Welcome back Winker. Is Pete really gone?

    Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets still have not solved the Pete Alonso dilemma yet, but they did bring back their left-handed DH and inked a new reliever.

    “Mr. Wilpon, I don’t feel so good” feat. Laura Albanese

    Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we are joined by very special guest Laura Albanese, who covers the Mets and Yankees at Newsday. We begin our conversation by asking Laura about how she got to where she is now and what barriers women still face in the industry. We then shift our focus to the Mets and discuss the cultural shift within the Mets’ organization that includes an emphasis on family, which was part of what attracted Sean Manaea and Juan Soto to the Mets as free agents. We also talk about cultural differences between the Mets and Yankees and Laura’s favorite 2024 Mets bit.  We also talked about the offseason, the current free agent market, and labor issues - what the deal is with Pete Alonso’s free agency, whether the Dodgers are good or bad for baseball, Laura’s 2025 predictions, and more. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

  7. Oscar Prediction Special

    JAN 17

    Oscar Prediction Special

    Grace is back after two weeks of...nothing much. Pete Alonso's time in New York looks to be coming to an end, and not for a lack of trying. The Mets did re-sign Jesse Winker though, and have some interest in Tanner Scott, so there's still deals to be made. Next, Grace does some Oscar predictions. SHe begins by talking about the devastating Los Angeles wildfires and how to help, and also discusses David Lynch's legacy. Then she does some light Oscar predictions ahead of the announcements in the coming week (presumably). Finally, Grace has a movie minute that may seem a bit odd, but is surprisingly great. But if you want to see it in theaters you may be running out of time. Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com!

    Manaea Returns, Alonso Still in Limbo

    Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets brought Sean Manaea home and made a flurry of small signings. Brian and Chris discus the moves, discuss the Pete Alonso situation, and discuss if Tanner Scott might be a fit for the Mets.
