National League Town

Did the Mets do enough? Jeff and Guest Co-Host Dylan Hysen talk about the trade deadline on an all-new NLT. A David Wright Fathead is mentioned. Join us! #Mets #LGM

The Mets are in first place, but are they good? We discuss this along with the trade deadline, David Wright, "Number 8", and a favorite Mets game with Joe Buccino (who you might know from Fox News). And yes, we have pie! Join us! #Mets #LGM

We review the All-Star Game, discuss your Mets quirks, and open the NLT Mailbag! Join us! #LGM #Mets

Are the Mets back? Jeff has some thoughts. Then, Jeff unveils a Brilliant Idea to improve the All-Star Game, and we open the NLT Mailbag! Join us! #LGM #Mets

Just because the Mets held a team meeting and lost in yet another blowout, it didn't mean National League Town wouldn't try its luck at meeting. Here, we have Jeff Hysen getting together with original co-host Greg Prince to try and figure out why the f-word (frustrating) is so gosh darn prevalent in Mets fans' thoughts these days. NLT has no good answers to the club's pitching and hitting woes, but at least nobody's ERA rose or OPS sagged while this episode was being recorded.

Two wins out of twelve will put you in a bad #Mets mood, and Jeff is there (but he's sorry). Also, we open the NLT Mailbag. Join us! #LGM

The #Mets are not playing well, but maybe the upcoming series against Atlanta will turn things around. Plus, we talk to author John T. Williams about his book "We'll Call You Mr. Met!" Join us! #LGMWebsite:mrmetbook.comInstagram: @mrmetbook

The #Mets are not playing well right now, but at least we have Mr. Met! We talk about the Mets' poor play and debate Mr. Met vs. The Philly Phanatic with a Phillies fan. Join us! #LGM

Guest Co-Host Kerby Valladares joins Jeff to discuss the #Mets' lost weekend and the upcoming 10 games. Also, Jeff and Kerby talk about All-Star Voting, the Alumni Softball game, and "Get Metsmerized". Join us! #LGM

The #Mets swept the Nationals and Rockies because that is what good teams do. We talk about the Senga injury, Jeff's trip to Denver, and ask, "What is your Mets quirk?" Join us! #LGM

After a frustrating loss, the Mets will be in Denver (and so will NLT). We talk about the games with the Dodgers, what Rob Manfred did right, and what Rob Manfred did wrong. We also comment on an ongoing mistake at Mets HQ. Join us!

The #Mets have passed the one-third point of the season. We talk about the State of the Mets as well as MLB's "temporary" move to Sacramento with Guest Co-Host Kevin G. Chapman. Join us! #LGM

We're feeling better about the #Mets after taking 2 of 3 from the Dodgers. We discuss the importance of Tyrone Taylor, preview the White Sox series with author Dave Bagdade, and Jeff has a commentary about the Yankees (20:05). Join us! #LGM

The #Mets won a big game as we try to turn out the noise. We talk to the co-author of "More Amazin' Mets Trivia" and open the NLT Mailbag.

The Mets looked terrible on Sunday and Jeff was there. He tells you if there was anything good about his trip and more. #LGM (Updated in an attempt to improve sound.)

#Mets fans, you've heard of "Must See TV" but these Mets are "Must See ABs". Plus, Rob Manfred has sunk even further by reinstating Pete Rose. Jeff also tells us what we should stop doing and explains "Foot Long Hot Dogs" at Blue Jays games. Join us! #LGM

It's been a frustrating week for the Mets and we discuss how the rotation revolves around one player. Plus, we visited the Rogers Centre and recommend "Fight For Glory". Join us! #LGM

#Mets fans: Call it the Brandon Nimmo Game, call it a Unicorn--it was a great Met win after a horrible loss. Jeff was there for 3 of the games and tells you about it on today's show. #LGM

How can a #Mets fan not be in a great mood after sweeping Philadelphia and St. Louis? We talked about as well as the latest nonsense from Rob Manfred. We also open the NLT Mailbag! Join us #LGM

The Mets lost their 2nd in a row which put Jeff in a Bad Mets Mood but guest Co-Host Kerby Valladares brought positive vibes as we talked about Soto, Alonso, Acuna, Baty, and more. Join us!

We'll take a 5 and 1 homestand, although we're worried about Brett Baty. We also equate Yankees fans with Nationals fans and open the NLT Mailbag!

The Mets come home at 3 and 3. It could have been better, but it could have been worse. Speaking of worse, Rob Manfred handled yet another situation poorly, and Jeff tells you what he did this time.

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood. National League Town likes to think out loud about the Mets season ahead. For our Opening Day Spectacular, Jeff invites Old Friend (TM) Greg Prince onto the show to talk about where Mets fans' heads oughta be in 2025 (besides under Mets caps) and where the Mets oughta finish this year (in a ticker-tape parade, hopefully).

On the season finale of GLT, the Mets won and we reflect on what we've learned about the Mets this spring.

The Mets tied and Soto hit a HR. We have Spring Training tips and open the "NLT Mailbag"!

The #Mets lost but Tylor Megill looked good and Donovan Walton hit a Grand Slam. Also, it's the return of "Jeff's Brilliant Ideas", and we open the "NLT Mailbag".

It was a great night at Clover Park: the Mets won, I was on the field, and I met a father & son from NC. Also, we have a commentary on the lack of Spring Training broadcasts.

Another Mets loss but another good beer. We also discuss the departure of Jose Iglesias and we open the NLT Mailbag!

On this Special Episode of NLT we talk to Matthew Silverman, the co-author of Art Shamsky's New Book, "Mets Stories I Only Tell My Friends".

Another snoozer as the Mets lost. I discuss Yankees' fans and my encounter with another Mets fan.

The Mets pitched well but didn't hit well. I was a member of the press, and I can tell you what that was like.

The Mets won on a great day in PSL, except Jerry didn't say hello.

The Mets lost, a minor league catcher looked good, the ABS system fixed many calls, and we had some good beer. We also open the NLT Mailbag!

The rain held off but the Mets lost. We talk about the state of the rotation, parking, and "Never Gonna Give You Up".

My first game of the spring. The Mets lost but I met Steve Cohen and a players' father. I also describe the play where the Mets lost Nick Madrigal.

Welcome to Season 2 of "Grapefruit League Town"! Here, we set the stage for future episodes and open the "NLT Mailbag".

Finally, the Mets are back. We talk about Carlos' press conference, expectations for 2025, and open the NLT Mailbag.

Pete Alonso, what took you so long? At long last, the Polar Bear returns.

Jeff is symmetrical and uses "established fairness standards" when discussing Pete Alonso, Carlos Beltran, and (ugh) Chase Utley.

NLT bemoans the fact that the Mets still haven't signed Pete. We also recommend a new internet game and we open the "NLT Mailbag".

NLT is back for Season 4, and we're talking about Pete Alonso: why the Mets need him and why he needs the Mets. Plus, Jeff remembers Lenny Randle from Fantasy Camp in 2009.

We say hello again to Sean Manaea, coming back to the Mets after dabbling in free agency. We say goodbye to Rickey Henderson, the leadoff legend for all time (15:00). We say hello to Curtis Granderson's name on the Hall of Fame ballot and remember what made him such a special player in Flushing. And we say goodbye to 2024 on National League Town by noting a change to our lineup for 2025 (38:15). Happy new year to all NLT listeners from Greg and Jeff...and as always, Let's Go Mets.

A fifteen-year contract suggests Juan Soto will be spending the rest of his baseball-playing life as a New York Met. The number 5 in the Citi Field rafters confirms David Wright has been, is and will always be a Met for life. The way he's conducted himself tells us Art Shamsky has devoted much of his life to the legacy of the 1969 Mets. National League Town hopes you'll have the time of your life listening to Greg and Jeff talking about each of them.

Juan Soto is a New York Met. What else is there to say? Whatever it is, Greg and Jeff couldn't be happier to say it.

We welcome Frankie Montas to the New York Mets. We welcome Jose Siri to the New York Mets. Given the chance, we will welcome Juan Soto to the New York Mets. The so-called “golden at-bat” Rob Manfred is reportedly buzzing about? We show that concept to the door.

It's Thanksgiving week, so let's be thankful that as lifelong baseball fans, we've been fortunate enough to experience quite a few ballplayers still around to be reminded by fans that they'll never be forgotten. Join Greg and Jeff in appreciation of some legendary players, Met and otherwise, who made indelible marks on the game we love.

National League Town looks back at three baseball legends who've recently passed: the most prolific hitter of all time; the pitcher who generated a mania all his own; and a cat we couldn't hear enough about. Join Greg and Jeff as they remember Pete Rose, Fernando Valenzuela and, yes, Hadji.

Click and refresh all you like. Juan Soto is not yet a Met. Whether or not he will be is the steamiest Remains To Be Seen component of this Hot Stove season, but there are other matters to preoccupy Mets fans everywhere, including the ones at National League Town. Will Pete Alonso stay? Will most of our rotation go? Who will move to new positions? What heretofore total stranger will play his way into our hearts next year? Greg and Jeff have no conclusive answers, but that won't stop them from thinking out loud. Also, they remain very high on the value of Francisco Lindor.

How great was 2024 to be a Mets fan? That's one of the questions Greg and Jeff ponder as they conclude their reflections on a year they didn't see coming, yet are grateful to have lived through.

Greg and Jeff always believed in the 2024 Mets, especially once they gave up on giving up on them. National League Town retroactively pieces together its realization that — despite some stubborn cynicism that beset each of our co-hosts — the Mets were slowly but surely forging an unforgettable season.

Congratulations to whoever won the World Series, specifically for ensuring who didn't win the World Series. Mostly, in the wake of a fifteenth consecutive joyous Elimination Day, we look forward to what could be a year from now. You never know, but it's enough at this point to think of the Metsian possibilities.
