    Episode 115: The Last Supper

    We're going out with a bang. With Sam's move to broadcasting pro ball, we're hanging up the microphones -- at least for a while. To send us off into the extended hiatus sunset, we sat down with some of our favorite friends and guests in a jam-packed final episode. This is easily the longest episode we've done, so get ready for nearly three hours of mostly remembering guys. Before the guests begin, we do talk about Edwin Diaz, his injury, and the larger discourses that go along with the WBC. About 16 minutes in, our first guest is Matt Mancuso (@MattyCuso on Twitter). Matt is a longtime contributor at MetsMerized and Baseball Cloud. He's also a childhood friend of Sam's! After Matt, we welcome in Michael Mayer (@MikeMayer22), executive editor at MetsMerized and a former guest of the pod. Then, it's guest and one-time guest host Rob Piersall (@RTPiersall), site lead at MetsLegends and former MetsMerized colleague of ours! And finally, we return to a familiar chaos format. Three friends of the pod at the same time. Among them: professional pitcher and vlogger Tom Hackimer (@HackAttackimer), screen printer and Jeopardy! contestant Abigail Noy (@BringDaNoyz), and everyone's favorite internet gremlin, Richard Staff (@RichardStaff). It's a loaded, chaotic time. But it's fun. I think you can handle it. Be sure to listen closely for a discount code for Abigail's website, sympatheticinker.com. It's been an absolute pleasure to bring 115 episodes' worth of content to you. Whether this is your first episode or 115th, thank you for being part of this journey. And for one final time, enjoy!!

    Episode 109: Definitely Not Episode 108

The Mets' big rebound move is...Tommy Pham? Let's talk about that. Plus! Some clarity on where the Mets might go to round out the bullpen. And! A brief retrospective on some of the prospects the Mets have traded away in recent years. Finally! A pretty detailed look at this year's and next year's Hall of Fame ballot and the discourse surrounding it all. Also, Sam wrote an article about a Friend of the Pod for a Friend of the Pod's blog.

    Episode 108: Ok Correa is not a Met.

    Just a raw, unedited, rant. No music. We're sad. Correa is a Twin. Find some peace with us as we talk out our feelings.
