James talks about his latest athletic endeavor, and the intense focus of Mookie Betts.

Let's head over to La La Land and talk about the very durable and very talented James Loney. Listen as we go in depth on his hall of pretty good worthy career and hear about how during high school, he was Shohei Ohtani before it was even cool!

We are joined by former Dodger 1st baseman and current Sportsnet LA analyst, James Loney this hour!

First of all, the air conditioner commercial:And now, the Starling Marte home run chain as he and the Mets both embark on what hopefully will be a happier second half of the season…* Starling Marte hit his first home run off Dallas Keuchel, 7/26/12* Dallas Keuchel gave up his first home run to Asdrúbal Cabrera, 6/23/12* Asdrúbal Cabrera hit his first home run off Jason Hammel, 8/18/07Hammel connects us Brandon Nimmo's home run chain, as that's who gave up the Mets leadoff man's first home run, in 2016. Hammel was with the Devil Rays, in their final season as such, and Cabrera was a Cleveland rookie.Cabrera moved on to Washington in 2014, then the Rays in 2015, before joining the Mets ahead of the 2016 season. Hammel, meanwhile, pitched one season for the (non-Devil) Rays before a couple of decent years in Colorado, Baltimore for 2012-13, and then the Cubs as a free agent in 2014. Traded to Oakland later that year in the Jeff Samardzija deal, Hammel returned to Chicago the following winter when he returned to free agency… and that brought him, as the owner of a World Series ring, to Flushing with the Cubs on July 1, 2016.Jacob deGrom retired six of the first seven Cubs hitters that Friday night, and after Hammel set down the side in order in the bottom of the first, the Mets gave their ace a lead on back-to-back homers by James Loney and Cabrera. Loney's two-run double the following inning made it a 4-0 game before Kris Bryant got the Cubs' first hit, a homer off deGrom in the fourth.Nimmo busted that game open with his first dinger, a three-run shot, in the bottom of the fourth, but the Cubs stuck with Hammel to give up two more bombs — a leadoff dinger to Yoenis Céspedes in the fifth, and then Cabrera's second of the game, a two-run blast.That was the last time that Cabrera got to face Hammel, against whom he had not homered since his first at-bat against him in 2007, having gone 1-for-6 with a double in the years between. It was also Nimmo's only time facing Hammel. But Loney? Loney owned that dude — 16-for-44, four homers, 12 RBI, and a 1.083 OPS with only two strikeouts. Nobody had more hits against Hammel than Loney, and only Edwin Encarnación hit more homers, with five in 40 plate appearances.Editor's note: We Can Pod It Out will be off next week, but home run chains will continue along with other Willets Pen content.

This episode went over a few free agents, recent transactions and James Loney.

The worst thing that could have happened did happen and now what? James Loney and Matt Adams try to fill the void.A sublime series win against the Nats.Teheran is terrible at home, but Kemp, Flowers, and Suzuki are not terrible at the plate.Plus is that Kris Medlen's music????????And Shots in the Dark and the Week Ahead.

Roger eulogized the late Jacob 'deGrominator' deGrom before he cursed the day the Warthen Slider was invented. Brian got into Jay Bruce's troubles and if he would shoot him out of a cannon before the also struggling Travis d'Arnaud. The two discussed if Lucas Duda should get some more playing time in these final days before a listener asked why they pick on James Loney so darn much. The two talked proper Mets booing etiquette, and they dipped into a particularly anti-Terry Collins mailbag. There's a John Olerud reference. P.S. The Braves are jerks.

With snot-nosed punk kids going back to school, Brian and Roger figured out which Met was probably picked on the most in their formative years. Then they talked about if Yoenis Cespedes is, honestly, the most valuable player in baseball, before wondering if T.J. Rivera is going to be good before going around the horn to give the Mets the best offense possible. Then they looked back at their 2nd half predictions from the All-Star Break to see how smart they really are. Roger and Brian both gave out awards and felt bad for Wally Backman before deciding if they want Terry Collins' job in the first place. It's a must-listen to hear Brian give James Loney a round of applause and to find out if Roger can spell Doug Mientkiewicz correctly without cheating.

Roger and Brian eulogized Neil Walker, talked about how Jelly "Kelly" Johnson and Wilmer "Wilmah" Flores have been stepping up lately, shook their heads at James Loney, determined if Seth Lugo and Rafael Montero will be any good, why animals haven't been supporting the Mets this season, and how the SNY kidcaster fared this year. Roger also tried to defend Jay Bruce, which Brian thought was very brave. This episode also includes the now weekly update of Brian's thoughts on if the Mets are still in it or not.

Mike Silva talks about his memories of Mike Piazza on the day of his induction into the Hall-of-Fame. Hear clips from Piazza's career with the Mets as well as highlights of his induction speech. Sal Licata of WOR joins the conversation and shares his thoughts on number 31 as well as his concerns about Michael Conforto's playing time.

Welcome back to Amazin' Avenue Audio. This week, we take a look at a former #33, the current #28, and much more.

Aaron Yorke is back to talk about what James Loney has meant for the Mets this season (37:38), and then podcast rookie Milo Taibi talks about what Vinny Rotino meant for the Mets in 2012 (43:31).

You can follow James on Twitter (@ByJamesWagner), and check out his work for the New York Times both in print and on their website.

This week on Good Fundies Brian and Roger discuss if Jeurys Familia's days are numbered as a Mets closer, if we truly know Ty Kelly, if Kelly Johnson or James Loney is our savior, if Gary and Ron were too mean about Jonathon Niese (nope), if this is the most devastating rash of injuries in Mets history, and if Matt Harvey is deserving of empathy. Also of note is a new segment: Narrative vs. Reality, the long-lost stinger for the SOUPPOD, and Brian makes a half-apology!

Even though the Mets are keeping pace in the NL East with their dominant starting pitching, the injury bug has bitten the Amazins again this week. With David Wright heading to the DL and Juan Lagares with a partial ligament tear, MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Mets reporter Anthony DiComo talk about how New York plans on managing their recent rash of injuries. They also discuss what James Loney can do to fill in at first base and what fans can except from the Mets in the 2016 MLB Draft.

Major League Baseball's amateur draft begins next week, and we've got plenty of draft talk for you in this week's episode of Amazin' Avenue Audio. Brian Salvatore, Steve Sypa, and Lukas Vlahos get things started with draft talk (1:46). We take a quick break from draft talk with Steve Schreiber's TWISNY segment (36:43) and Aaron Yoke with a segment on new Mets first baseman James Loney (38:22). From there, Chris McShane chats with Jonathan Mayo (43:47) of MLB.com—and specifically mlbpipeline.com—about the Mets' upcoming draft and drafts under Sandy Alderson. You can find Jonathan's work at the main site there, but here are a couple of things that came up in the conversation: his latest mock draft and the risk/reward of drafting high school pitchers early. You can follow Jonathan on Twitter at @jonathanmayo. After that, Kate Feldman and Brian answer your emails (1:03:39), Noel checks in with an update on Mets minor leaguer Patrick Mazeika (1:25:00), who also came up in the chat with Jonathan Mayo, and we round out the episode with our forgotten Met segment with Bryan Renzi on Terry Blocker (1:28:55) and Kate's Panic City Meter (1:35:08). You can follow all of our contributors on Twitter: Brian (@BrianNeedsaNap), Chris (@chrismcshane), Steve Schreiber (@_mistermet), Kate (@kateefeldman), Steve Sypa (@SteveSypa), Bryan (@brenz78), and Aaron (@apy5000).

In Episode 4 of For All You Kids Out There, Jeffrey and Jarrett had their agenda thrown into disarray with the Mets acquisition of James Loney. So we bring on Kate Feldman, Tampa Bay Rays expert, to discuss the new first baseman, and some old first baseman as well. We also chat about Matt Harvey, again, and tanking baseball teams. Next, Kate Morrison of BP and WFAA joins the show to talk about the new Texas stadium and their bumper crop of prospects. Finally we wrap things up with Jeffrey's five favorite Mets, Jarrett's five favorite pitches, and some babbling about Chase Utley and pro wrestling before our skype connection mercifully cuts out.

The guys talk about the Rays relasing James Loney, the change in the Rays hitting philosophy, and the potential of their pitching and defense. After the break they talk Buccaneers, the Lightning's playoff chances, and Batman V Superman.

Are the Rays ready to name a starting catcher? MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Rays reporter Bill Chastain try to sort through the three viable options behind the plate, whether or not James Loney will start the season in TB, and make a few bold predictions for 2016.

How will the Rays starting rotation and bullpen shake out? MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Rays reporter Bill Chastain find out who's filling up the spots, whether or not James Loney will remain in Tampa and learn how the players feel about playing Cuba.

The Rays have an overflow of talent heading into Spring Training. MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Rays reporter Bill Chastain break down position battles in the outfield and at first base and whether or not James Loney will be in a Rays uniform on Opening Day.

Episode 233 The latest episode of “The Sleeper and the Bust” is live! In this episode, Paul Sporer and Eno Sarris discuss the injury news around Devin Mesoraco, Yasmani Grandal, Yan Gomes, Jonathan Lucroy, Travis d’Arnaud, Matt Wieters, Avisail Garcia, Michael Morse, Shane Victorino, James Loney, Devon Travis, Steven Souza, Johnny Cueto, Danny Duffy, and […]

Episode 2 of the 2015 season… honestly, not much to talk about. But we somehow filled up 45 minutes with nonsense and misinformation. There was even talk about BJ Upton’s name change. Closerpocalypse is upon us once again. We discuss a lot of Dodger news including the “big” injury to Kenley Jansen. We are relatively worried about this injury. Basically, we just don’t want to have to pay for Jansen when we could get someone cheaper in a later round. We have no idea who the replacement is but if you need a name, we went with Brandon League. Also in Dodger land, we discuss Greinke’s oiling his elbow. We discuss a bunch of deep league guys like Mike Moustakas, Billy Butler, and James Loney. Is Steven Souza legit? We wander around this question for a bit and about the Tampa Bay’s offense in general. We were struggling to talk about anything. We end off with a Dalton Pompei vs Anthony Gose vs Jarrod Dyson in a “last round speed only” guy. Enjoy it! Season 3 Episode 02 (46:20)

Jason Martinez of MLBDepthCharts and Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTradeRumors (live from the Winter Meetings in Nashville, TN) discuss all the latest signings (Napoli, Loney, Marquis) and rumors around the league. 

Ben and Sam size up this winter’s free-agent first basemen and estimate how much money James Loney will make, then talk about whether the Dodgers’ pursuit of a playoff spot is leading to dangerous decisions.

Queer honourees give their awards back to Pride Toronto over the banning of the term Israeli-apartheid, pre-G20 African activists speak out on celebrity activism, and coming out in Uganda where Pride is no party. Queer activists should be able to stand up for human rights. James Loney talks about why he is giving back his Fearless Award to Pride Toronto. Pride is political and Pride Toronto should not dictate what politics are not allowed. Jane Farrow talks about why she is refusing the title of Honoured Dyke in the 2010 Toronto Pride March. Last year we spoke to gay and lesbian activist Frank Mugisha, who was speaking against Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill. In this podcast, we'll hear how one Ugandan gay activist accepted his own sexuality. Bob Geldof and Bono are celebrity editors who helped the Globe write about Africa. But African activists have some critiques of the work they do. In this interview, produced by No One Is Illegal, Makoma  Lekalakala of Johannesburg's Earthlife Africa speaks about what African activists think would help the G20. June 23 update: Pride Toronto announced they will not ban the term Israeli-apartheid from use during Pride. More to follow in the next episode of rabble radio.

Rev. Dwayne takes a fresh look at Luke 11: 1-13, arguing that this scripture has been commonly misinterpreted to support “name it and claim it” theology and/or to support the view that God expects our persistence before God will answer our prayers. Rev. Dwayne contends that God is not behind the door, irritated by our knocking, but rather God joins us in the “knocking” and is “persevering” with us as we face difficult demands and circumstances.
