But - there are bright spots with the pitching on the club, including the debit of rookie pitcher Steven Matz. SNY insider Andy Martino is in the lead off - giving us all the back stories of the Mets week, including the pitching hiccups, injury updates, the log jam with the kids in the infield, plus why Citi Field is the place to be this summer!

Attending a New York Mets game at Citi Field is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike. With its proximity to some excellent Asian food in Flushing, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!Brief History of Citi Field and the MetsFounded in 1962, they're based in Queens, New York, and have won two World Series championships (1969 and 1986). The team colors are blue and orange.Citi Field has been the Mets' home stadium since 2009, replacing the iconic Shea Stadium. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, the ballpark was designed as a tribute to Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, featuring classic brick architecture. The stadium has a capacity of about 41,900 and is known for its distinctive exterior rotunda, excellent sight lines, and the Home Run Apple that rises when a Met hits a home run.It's genuinely a beautiful stadium that feels both updated and modern, yet retains its charm. I love watching planes take off and land at nearby LaGuardia Airport as the game progresses.Best Seats at Citi FieldThere are NO bad seats at Citi Field. We often scour various ticket sites for last-minute cheap tickets, then float around the stadium throughout the game.We often have the best luck on ticket prices on Vivid Seats (plus you earn rewards for free tickets).Where to Eat/Drink Before a Mets GameThere is little to nothing right next to Citi Field, so most people either eat or drink wherever they're coming from, or go to Flushing or Corona.Corona is known for Latin food, Flushing (Main St. stop on the 7) is one of the best spots in the world for Asian, and specifically Chinese food (besides China, of course).Spots in Flushing (one stop on the subway or a 20-minute walk):Nan Xiang Soup DumplingsFood court in the basement of the New World MallPeking Duck Sandwich StallChung Moo, try the homemade kimchiWhite BearThis Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - White BearCash-only and very little seating (maybe none at all post-COVID..

Farace is out tonight scouting the next generation of CitiField greatness as his son's Angels face off against the Mets in a makeup of last week's washed-out championship. Meanwhile, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (behind the wall and definitely not checking TikTok mid-show) are holding it down for another edition of *The Put it in the Books Show*.The Mets are 34-22, just finished a tidy 4-2 homestand after series wins over the Dodgers and the “please-relegate-them” White Sox, but somehow the mood in Metsland still feels like they're 22-34. Why? Maybe it's the team hitting like they're allergic to runners in scoring position.Still, this squad just keeps winning – with lights-out pitching and timely defense doing the heavy lifting while the bats slowly wake up. With some injured arms eyeing returns soon, the guys will debate who gets bumped and whether a six-man rotation might be on the table.Plus: the case for team captain—Lindor, who checks in with every player after each series like he's taking roll call, Nimmo and his endless energy, or Big Pete and his polar bear presence?

Tonight's Knicks-Pacers Game 4 is being hyped as another "biggest game in 25 years." A caller who caught Boomer's football from Friday weighed in, and questions arose about how "furries" got into Citi Field. Jerry's update covered the Knicks-Pacers preview and the Thunder's 3-1 series lead over the T-Wolves. The Yankees beat the Angels again, with Anthony Volpe hitting a 3-run double, as heard on Dave Sims's call. Jerry also shared audio from an Australian radio show about short-lived marriages. The Mets secured their third straight win. A caller even wondered if Phil Simms is a fox furry. The hour concluded with talk of the "Kickoff To Summer" with Chris Lane and more anticipation for the Knicks game.

Every game is the ‘biggest game the Knicks have played in 25 years' and that continues tonight. We got a call from the guy who caught the football Boomer threw into the crowd on Friday. A caller wonders how the furries got into Citi Field when he was hassled years ago for having ‘RA Dickey' on his bare chest. We took calls from people who had experiences with furries.

Hour 1 The Knicks took Game 3 on Sunday, with Brunson and Hart leading the charge. They look to continue their road winning streak tonight in Indiana, where Tyrese Haliburton's dad will be in attendance. Jerry provided an update, noting Charles Barkley had counted the Knicks out when they were down 13. In baseball, the Yankees defeated the Angels, and the Mets beat the White Sox on a Francisco Lindor sac fly. Gio avoided the norovirus, unlike his daughter, and Stephen Waldron is out due to an appendectomy. Finally, Pablo Torre rented the Airbnb where the Bill Belichick Ring camera footage was taken. Hour 2 Tonight is Game 4 for the Knicks and Pacers and calls came in about people surprisingly wanting the Knicks coach fired, despite their run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jerry provided an update with OG Anunoby on the Knicks' Game 3 win, and Kevin Harlan's funny "I'm wet, I'm dirty" comment from Game 2. Bill Simmons had Jon Stewart on his podcast where they talked about WFAN, Mike & The Maddog, and "two bald guys." The Yankees beat the Angels thanks to an Anthony Volpe bases-clearing double, making them 13 games over .500, and the Mets won on a Francisco Lindor sac fly, with Gary Cohen on the call. There were also furries in the crowd. Finally they discussed the missing Larry Johnson 4-point ball and more about the furries. Hour 3 Tonight's Knicks-Pacers Game 4 is being hyped as another "biggest game in 25 years." A caller who caught Boomer's football from Friday weighed in, and questions arose about how "furries" got into Citi Field. Jerry's update covered the Knicks-Pacers preview and the Thunder's 3-1 series lead over the T-Wolves. The Yankees beat the Angels again, with Anthony Volpe hitting a 3-run double, as heard on Dave Sims's call. Jerry also shared audio from an Australian radio show about short-lived marriages. The Mets secured their third straight win. A caller even wondered if Phil Simms is a fox furry. The hour concluded with talk of the "Kickoff To Summer" with Chris Lane and more anticipation for the Knicks game. Hour 4 The Jets reportedly wanted to keep the "tush push," potentially for Justin Fields. Gio's contacts found the Brett Favre documentary disappointing, and he wondered about the vanished NJ drones. The conversation then shifted to numerous calls about the Knicks-Pacers game. Jerry's final update included Coach Thibs discussing the Knicks' Sunday comeback. A young fan subtly asked Aaron Rodgers about playing for the Bears, while Joe Burrow preferred an international game over more Baltimore primetime matchups. The Yankees beat the Angels with a Volpe bases-clearing double, and the Mets won against the White Sox on a Lindor sac fly. The "Moment of The Day" involved furry talk with Eddie and Phil Simms. The show concluded with discussions about the high-rated, commercial-heavy Indy 500 and the lengthy challenge reviews in NBA playoff games.

Michael Cuddyer joins Jay Horwitz to reflect on the career of David Wright ahead of Wright's jersey retirement. From a fateful cafeteria moment in Virginia to their bond as Mets teammates, Cuddyer shares how Wright inspired his journey—and helped bring him to New York in 2015. They dive deep into the Home Run Derby at Citi Field, the 2015 postseason run, mentoring Michael Conforto, Daniel Murphy's October dominance, and the legendary Championship Belt. Plus: why Cuddyer walked away from the game and how he stays involved in baseball today. An emotional, honest, and often hilarious look back at a pivotal friendship in Mets history.

The Knicks prep for Game 2, Juan Soto returns to Citi Field, and much more

Season 8, Episode 6 is here, and while Farace is off the grid watching his son's championship game—Angels vs. Mets, because of course that's the matchup—Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe are stepping up to the mic. Well, Joe's technically behind the wall, but we'll pretend he's contributing more than just echoing Keith's stats.The Mets snapped a three-game losing streak last night with a solid win over the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty finally waking up at the plate and Tylor Megill looking like a guy who wants to stay in this rotation permanently. The Mets now sit at 29-19 and are still holding strong near the top of the division, despite the recent hiccups.It might be time to officially say it: the Mets have five pretty good starters. This rotation has been the unexpected rock of the team, which is saying something when your offense and defense have been running on vibes and hope against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox.Starling Marte was bumped up to the two-hole yesterday, which sounds good on paper… until you watch him take three pitches nowhere near the zone and walk back to the dugout like he forgot what a bat is for. The fellas will discuss how long that experiment should last—though with Keith's patience, he's probably ready to send Marte to the seventh spot already.Luisangel Acuña continues to try to make his case in the bigs, while in the minors, names like Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat are lurking—just waiting for someone to slip up. The competition is real, and with Rodriguez scouting the Syracuse box scores daily, expect a strong opinion or seven.Francisco Alvarez has returned and is now splitting duties with Luis Torrens, which gives us all the opportunity to watch Mets Twitter melt down every other night depending on who's behind the plate. But hey, if the pitchers keep throwing gems, maybe the platoon is working—though don't expect Producer Joe to commit to a side. He's still emotionally recovering from Tomas Nido.And then there's Juan Soto. A little jog here, a few boos in the Bronx there, and suddenly the guy's a lightning rod. Is it overblown, or is this just the beginning of Mets fans getting real acquainted with the “Soto Experience”? We'll break it down with the usual amount of sarcasm, overreaction, and probably a conspiracy theory from Rodriguez.Coming up next: nine straight at Citi Field—three against the Dodgers, three against the White Sox, and three more against the Rockies. If there was ever a stretch to gain some momentum, this is it... unless Producer Joe jinxes it by calling for a sweep again.Join us tonight as we talk Mets, roast each other, and try to convince ourselves that a quiet week in Flushing is a real thing. Let's put it in the books.

Episode 498: Revenge, redemption, and payback.  This week Luis Barraza met his former team and played one his best games of his career to hold NYCFC scoreless in DC and then the Boys In Blue got some payback of their own with a demonstrative victory over Red Bull at Citifield.  Questions still remain about this … Continue reading The Payback / Ep 498 / Blue City Radio →

For episode 49 of Staffcast, Tom and Richard are joined by The Atlantic's Ellen Cushing and Kaitlyn Tiffany to talk about what Juan Soto is actually doing in the bullpen, baseball as reality TV, our beautiful Pete Alonso, vibing while kids suffer, horror stories of Mets past, asking to get stepped on, pandering Bryce Harper, Hack's first and only game as a fan, amendments on jerseys, naked streakers, and more!Listen and subscribe to Hits Different!Follow your incredibly cool hosts and guest:Ellen CushingKaitlyn Tiffany⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sean Doolittle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trevor Hildenberger⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard Staff⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Hackimer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode art by Abigail Noy (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sympatheticinker.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Edited by Italian Dave (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠twitter.com/theitaliandave⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Intro: I'm So Blessed - CAINOutro: Shooting Stars - Bag Raiders

The Put it in the Books crew is back for Season 8, Episode 5, and the Mets are 28-16, sitting atop the NL East with a sparkling 17-5 record at home. Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are in the lineup tonight, and Producer Joe is a game-time decision—though there's a good chance he's behind the wall, lost in a sea of Citi Field concession options or pretending to scout bullpen arms from his couch.This week, the guys break down a Mets team that's built what might quietly be the best pitching staff in baseball. The rotation is shoving, the bullpen has been solid, and the Mets currently lead the league in ERA. Not bad for a staff many thought would need duct tape and prayers to get through May.Meanwhile, the offense is showing signs of stability, and the young guys are pushing the veterans. Are we watching a new era start to take shape? And more importantly, did the Mets actually hit the jackpot with Carlos Mendoza? In just his second year, he's got this team playing focused, consistent baseball—and maybe, just maybe, we've finally found a manager who knows when not to over-manage.As the season grinds on, the crew looks at whether the Mets should consider a six-man rotation to keep things fresh. With guys like Senga already off to a strong start, could spreading out the workload be the key to sustaining success deep into the summer?The upcoming schedule isn't exactly a walk in the park. After going 4-2 on the homestand against the Cubs and Pirates, the Mets now enter a tough stretch with series against the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. That means all eyes will be on the Bronx this week, where Juan Soto returns to Yankee Stadium—but this time, he's wearing blue and orange, and it's going to be loud. Probably not in his favor.And yes, we'll close the show with a quick reality check on the latest round of clickbait: the so-called Pete Alonso trade rumors. Because clearly, the best time to trade your franchise slugger is while you're in first place and playing your best baseball in years.Join us for all that, plus sarcasm, chaos, and whatever stat Keith has printed out this week that no one else asked for. Let's put it in the books!

I’ll go to engineering school.” (Judy)“If I want to be in these industries where I am the one and only minority, the one and only female, I don't care. I’m going to do it.” (Judy)“A restaurant is a business at the end of the day. You have to know cost control, maximize profits, and understand finance.” (Judy)“I know so many chefs who can't even get their way around an Excel spreadsheet.” (Judy)“Koreans are obsessed with fried chicken. Obsessed. Obsessed.” (Judy)“Today's invention is tomorrow's tradition. Korean fried chicken came from war and evolved. Is it authentic? I think so.” (Judy)“I've gone from being embarrassed about my lunchbox to everybody spamming me, asking, ‘What are they eating? What are they drinking?'” (Judy)“As long as the DNA is there—that makes it Korean.” (Judy)“Television cheffing is much easier. You’re in a nice air-conditioned studio versus burning yourself and dealing with employees.” (Judy)“Every single time I’m in a grocery store, whenever I travel, you’re constantly seeing new things. That’s a huge source of inspiration.” (Judy) 

Rain delays couldn't stop the Bucs tonight as Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo each launched two-run homers to lead the Pirates to a 4–0 win over the Mets at Citi Field. Bailey Falter danced out of early trouble, Chase Shugart held the line in relief, and the bullpen combo of Rainey, Bednar, and Santana sealed the shutout. Alexander Canario had a multi-hit night and cut down Pete Alonso trying to stretch a single in a highlight defensive moment. The NS9 crew breaks down the key performances, evaluates how Don Kelly's squad continues to respond post-swap, and asks the big question: are we finally seeing a spark?

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles previews the club's series against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Can Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller and Bailey Falter build on the series win against the Atlanta Braves and stifle a powerful Mets lineup that includes names like Pete Alonso, Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor? And how will Andrew McCutchen, Ke'Bryan Hayes and the offense handle a Mets pitching staff that's been better than expected? Especially if Oneil Cruz misses more time? Noah tackles those questions and more.

Is he right? Is this just another former Met pushing buttons? Would he like to manage next? We'll discuss.Meanwhile, the offense is getting more consistent, while the bullpen is starting to feel the early-season workload. Translation: the starters need to start earning their postgame spreads by going deeper into games.Ronny Mauricio is heading to Double-A to continue his rehab, and Frankie Montas is pacing for an early June return, which would be helpful unless someone else decides to break something in the meantime.Also: Are some of these recent losses actually helpful? Do they build resilience or just give Mets fans an excuse to start doomscrolling again?We'll also preview a big series at home against the first-place Cubs, followed by the Pirates, before things get real with a brutal stretch against the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. So yeah—enjoy this homestand while you can.Join us for another episode of dry humor, questionable takes, and a whole lot of excitement about a Mets team that, for once, actually looks like it belongs in first place.

From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): Mets lose their first series of the season at home. Besides game 1 of the series, the Mets left on way too many base runners and the bullpen did not come through the way they have in the past. On a positive note, Juan Soto finally went deep at Citifield.

Hour 2: Keith gives his thoughts on Juan Soto's breakout game, the Knicks Game Six against the Pistons, John Harper joins the show, and much more.

The rivalries in New York have been distinct between the two MLS branches in the Big Apple. However, FC Cincinnati has taken a few bites out of the core before as well. We've already covered the bile between Cincinnati and the Red Bulls, and this week we take on the bluer side of the 5 Boroughs. Last season, it ended a bit sour with New York City FC marching into TQL Stadium and winning the rubber match to knock the Orange & Blue out of the playoffs. While Cincinnati brought in a ton of big-money talent in the offseason, NYCFC did the opposite by staying pat. The only major change came at the head coach role, with Nick Cushing exiting and Pascal Jansen taking over. How has that big change worked so far in New York? We invite Andrew from Hudson River Blue back to talk about the Pigeons and perhaps give us a few insights on visiting Citi Field for a match. (Perhaps he has a recommendation for matzo ball soup?)
