Jimmy decides to catch up on some season finales and even a premiere! He got regular reviewer Melissa, new reviewer Kirstie and even Producer Joe to send in their thoughts on one show each. SPOILERS abound in our reviews so be warned. Some had very controversial seasons. Some were just outstanding. Some were even just a big pile of fun. What did we all think? Did you see any of these? What were your thoughts? Let us know!   Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

The Put it in the Books Show S8 E8: Chemistry, Clutch... and a Classic Mets Gut PunchThe Mets dropped one in true Mets fashion—a gut-wrenching, self-inflicted 6-5 extra innings loss to the Dodgers that felt like a throwback to the worst timeline. And what better way to unpack it than with Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe (who actually showed up this week)? Keith is out tonight, likely reviewing footage of Lindor's glove work from April.Despite the meltdown, the Mets are still 39-24 and winners of 12 of their last 15. Pete, Soto, and Nimmo are heating up at the plate. The dugout's loose (flip-the-bottle, anyone?), chemistry is cooking, and even McNeil's playing CF without needing a GPS. Pete and Megill's handshake? No idea what it is, but it's working. Extend them both.Should Pete be the captain? Lindor? Nimmo? Or do we just rotate the title weekly like Producer Joe's attendance?The fellas also dig into the pitching—maybe the best staff in baseball—and whether the Mets need to make moves or just trust the next man up. They'll preview the series against the 12-50 Rockies (yes, that's not a typo), followed by a return home for matchups with the Nationals and Rays.Join us as we laugh through the pain and put it all in the books.

Jimmy and Producer Joe celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special live recording with guests Michael Emerson, Greg Pak and Cynthia Von Buhler. While a bit last minute due to schedules & other glitches, it all came together nicely! As usual, Jimmy wrote some silly parody songs and sang them along with the CNI Chorus consisting of Sara Garfinkel, Kami Graves and Amy Wolk. Always funnier since we didn't really rehearse it much. We also get a very special news segment with Sara and Kami though make sure you check their sources. Thanks to the friends who came and even brought friends! It was a different set up as well because Producer Joe had to stay in the tech booth for most of the show. But it all turned out to be the usual fun times had by all!  Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

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? You be the judge.And yes, there *might* be some Juan Soto talk… again.Next up: the Mets wrap their homestand with the Rockies before heading west for another seven-game grind against the Dodgers and Rockies. Join us tonight as the crew breaks it all down—with stats, sarcasm, and possibly a few off-the-rails tangents.Let's put it in the books. #Mets #PiitB

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.

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!

Producer Joey has an update on a Chiefs super fan, an unusual lawsuit involving pets, and a creative marketing tool for one cell phone brand.

The Put it in the Books Show is back for Season 8, Episode 4, and while the Mets have cooled off slightly, they're still sitting at 23-14 and holding onto first place in the NL East like Farace clings to preseason predictions that might finally be aging well.Rodriguez, Keith, and Farace are on the mic tonight—Producer Joe is out again, possibly on assignment or just lost behind the wall, surviving solely on Shake Shack fumes and misguided optimism.The crew breaks down a week where the Mets snapped a two-series losing streak with a solid series win in Arizona and now return to Citi Field—where the energy is electric, the food is elite, and it has quickly become one of the best home field advantages in the league this season.Jose Reyes has entered the chat, publicly calling for Luisangel Acuña to play every day. 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. Let's put it in the books!

(00:00-21:06) Voice of the Blues, John Kelly joins us to wallow in our anguish. Game 7 felt like a bad dream. Game will go down as one of the toughest playoff losses in franchise history. Excited for the future of the Blues. 6 on 5 woes. Buchnevich not skating the puck out of the zone. The trend in the NHL of icing the puck late. Comparing Game 7 to the Monday Night Miracle. Wishing we could have seen Holloway out there with Schenn and Kyrou. Hellebuyck's issues. The Blues offseason needs.(21:15 -47:14) Happy Birthday Bob Seger. Jackson's dislike list is pretty small. Producer Joe is the grudgemaster. Larry gets a little salty. LIght vamping on the dossier gets us fired up. Watch the Throne tour in '09. Slamaroo. Gerbil Apocalypse. Cheap, Cheap Kai. Why is Jackson fading the Plowhawk's wedding? Jackson is a tertiary friend. Shrewsbury Seminary Student is on the phone lines and he has thoughts on the Webster/South County discussion from yesterday.(47:24-59:28) Is it about heavy petting or a getting older metaphor? Infidelity Stew. Matt LeBlanc in Night Moves. Hoosier Ass Investigation. Doug got bumrushed hosting a trivia night.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jimmy and Producer Joe celebrate their 1600th episode w/ a long and fun talk! They chat about favorite moments and guests, current likes in comics/TV/film/streaming and more.

After a 3-3 road trip through the land of transplanted teams and lakes with too many names, The Put it in the Books Show is back with its second episode of Season 8! Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are on deck, while Producer Joe takes the night off—probably still recovering from his scouting trip to find the best hot dog stand at Target Field.The Mets head back to Citi Field with an 11-7 record, a team ERA of 2.38 (best in baseball), and an offense that continues to hit like it's allergic to the month of April. They're batting .219 as a team (21st in MLB), which somehow looks worse when you realize half of the team's errors belong to Francisco Lindor, who apparently wanted to make sure fans stayed warm by keeping the gloves moving. But are Mets fans overreacting to the defensive struggles of an elite shortstop, or should we expect cleaner play from a guy getting paid like a defensive anchor?In center field, Jose Siri is hurt—again. So who should get the majority of the playing time? The crew debates whether the next man up is the answer or just a placeholder until someone actually hits .250.And in what can only be described as the most Mets thing ever, Francisco Alvarez homered in a rehab game, then got hit on the exact same hand he broke. Luckily, he's going to be okay—but is the universe just messing with us at this point?Plus: do injuries sometimes fast track the future? With younger players being thrown into the fire earlier than expected, are we getting a sneak preview of what the next generation of Mets might look like? And should we be concerned that said sneak preview includes a .219 team average?We'll also preview the upcoming seven-game homestand against the Cardinals and Phillies, which means we're about to find out whether the Mets are contenders, pretenders, or just really good at ruining Philly fans' weeks.Join us for all that, plus dry humor, overreactions, and Rodriguez trying to claim he predicted this pitching dominance all along. It's Season 8, Episode 2. Let's put it in the books!

The 2025 regular season is underway, and *The Put it in the Books Show* returns for Season 8 with a fresh batch of overreactions, mild panic, and… an actual winning record? That's right, the Mets are off to an 8-4 start after a strong 5-1 homestand against the Blue Jays and the Marlins—who somehow still have a team and a TV deal, much to Farace's disappointment. Producer Joe is likely out tonight (probably scouting hot dog stands or auditioning for a Citi Field hype video), so Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are left to dig into a team that's **pitching like champs and hitting like they forgot it's not still March**. The Mets are rocking a league-best **2.10 ERA**, but hitting a **painful .210 as a team**, which means the offense currently consists of "hope and vibes." Meanwhile, the much-hyped youth movement—**Vientos, Baty, and Acuña**—have all started ice cold, and not just because of the Citi Field wind chill. It's been rough, and if you're wondering whether Rodriguez is ready to bench all three, tune in for what may be the first of many impassioned rants. We've got **injury updates** on Manaea, Alvarez, and McNeil, who are all missing time for a variety of very Mets reasons, and a preview of the upcoming road trip to face the **Sacramento A's (yes, that's still weird to say)** and the Twins. The crowds at Citi Field have been surprisingly strong despite the arctic temps, proving that Mets fans will show up and suffer—just like the hosts of this show. So grab a jacket, lower your batting average expectations, and tune in for another episode filled with stats, sarcasm, and the kind of unfiltered Mets talk that no one asked for but everyone secretly needs. Let's put it in the books!

Guests: Joe Boyd, Record Producer & Author of And the Roots of Rhythm Remain Joe Boyd is a legend in music. He was the soundman when Dylan went electric at Newport, the founder of the legendary UFO club in London, and the producer of seminal works by Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, John Martyn, Fairport Convention, R.E.M., and many more. In the 1980s, Boyd pioneered global music through his label Hannibal Records, which brought the world everything from the greatest in Cuban music to Bulgarian throat singing and Afropop. Joe's experience in the 1960s was profiled in his 2007 memoir, White Bicycles: Making Music in the 1960s. Now, Joe has created a comprehensive history of world music in his new book, And the Roots of Rhythm Remain. Boyd explores centuries of fascinating backstories to these sounds in this sweeping 900-page history, compiled from more than a decade of travel, research, interviews, and deep listening. He shows how personalities, events, and politics in places such as Havana, Lagos, Budapest, Kingston, and Rio are as colorful and momentous as anything in New Orleans, Harlem, Laurel Canyon, or Liverpool. Moreover, jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock 'n' roll would never have happened if it weren't for the notes and rhythms emanating from over the horizon. "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers. In each episode, host Sal Cataldi speaks to the authors of some of the best reads about rock, jazz, punk, world, experimental music, and much more. From time to time, the host and authors will be joined by notable musicians, writers, and artists who are die-hard fans of the subject matter covered. Expect lively conversation and a playlist of great music to go with it. "Reading Is Funktamental" can be heard the second Wednesday of every month from 10 – 11 AM on Wave Farm: WGXC 90.7 FM and online at wavefarm.org. It can also be found as a podcast on Apple, Spotify and other platforms. Sal Cataldi is a musician and writer based in Saugerties. He is best known for his work with his genre-leaping solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, and is also a member of the ambient guitar duo, Guitars A Go Go, the poetry and music duo, Vapor Vespers, and the quartet, Spaceheater. His writing on music, books and film has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, Inside+Out Upstate NY, and NYSMusic.com, where he is the book reviewer.

Spring Training is officially over, and we are just two days away from Opening Day. On this week's episode of The Put it in the Books Show, the full crew is back together as Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) get ready for the season to begin.With Opening Day around the corner, the guys dive into the starting rotation. Who's locked in, who still has something to prove, and what could go right or wrong as the season gets underway?There's also some concern with Edwin Díaz's velocity being down this spring. Should Mets fans be worried, or is this just a typical slow ramp-up for a closer? The crew debates what this means for the bullpen and if there's anything to read into before the season starts.And with the season about to begin, it's time for bold predictions for 2025—both for the Mets and across the league. Who's winning divisions? Who's taking home hardware? And most importantly, are the Mets set up to make a deep October run?It's also good vibes all around, with the Mets landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Citi Field winning Best Ballpark Food for the third straight year. The food is elite, the excitement is high, and the countdown to Opening Day is almost over.Tune in as the guys break it all down with the usual mix of insight, humor, and maybe even a rare Producer Joe hot take. Let's put it in the books!

Spring Training rolls on, and so does *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, the full crew is back together as Rodriguez makes his triumphant return from the IL—though he insists he was just "day-to-day." Join Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) as they break down the latest Mets news with the usual mix of dry humor, analysis, and a little well-earned skepticism. First up: injuries. Sean Manaea is progressing after his oblique injury, while Jeff McNeil is hurt again—something Rodriguez blames on too much golf. The big question: does this injury cost McNeil his job? With Brett Baty now set to platoon with Luisangel Acuña at second base, the Mets may be looking at a future without their scrappy contact hitter. On the mound, David Peterson continues to step up, making a strong case for himself in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets have named Clay Holmes their Opening Day starter, a move that could be brilliant or a complete wildcard. With Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn looking to solidify roles as well, the Mets' pitching depth is getting its first real test. And let's talk culture. Is this the best team culture the Mets have ever had? With stars, depth, and a front office that actually knows what it's doing, the guys will debate whether this is truly a new era in Queens or if we're all just drinking the Spring Training Kool-Aid. Tune in as the crew dissects the latest Mets developments, welcomes Rodriguez back into the fold, and gets ready for Opening Day. The countdown is on—let's put it in the books!

The Put it in the Books Show '25 Spring Training Special #2: Mets Rankings, Early Standouts & Alvarez Concerns Spring Training is rolling along, and so is *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, Farace, Keith, and the ever-mysterious Producer Joe (still comfortably stationed behind the wall) take the reins once again while Rodriguez remains on the IL—or maybe he's just dodging Spring Training like a veteran pitcher with a sore arm. First up: Francisco Alvarez. The young catcher's situation is causing some early spring concerns, and we'll break down what it means for the Mets moving forward and if the team needs to start considering backup plans. Next, we'll dive into MLB Network's “Top 10 Right Now” rankings and check out which Mets made the cut at their respective positions. Are these rankings fair, or are we looking at another case of the national media disrespecting the orange and blue? Finally, we'll take a closer look at how some Mets are performing this spring. Who's hot? Who's cold? And most importantly, which overreactions can we start making immediately? With Rodriguez out, Producer Joe behind the wall, and Keith likely bringing an Excel sheet of unnecessary stats, this episode is guaranteed to have it all. Tune in as we break down all things Mets, Spring Training, and the early signs of what's to come in 2025. Baseball is back, and it's time to put it in the books! #FranciscoAlvarez #Mets #PutItInTheBooks #PiitB

Spring Training is here, Mets baseball is back, and so is The Put it in the Books Show! Farace and Keith are holding it down this week while Producer Joe and Rodriguez conveniently take the night off—probably recovering from the stress of the offseason or just avoiding the work like a veteran skipping Spring Training drills.The Mets are kicking off 2025 with high expectations, and why wouldn't they? The team made the biggest splash of the offseason, signing Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million deal, proving once again that Steve Cohen has pockets deeper than a Citi Field rain delay. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso flirted with free agency, but in the end, the Polar Bear is back where he belongs, signing a two-year, $54 million deal—because what's a Mets playoff run without a few Alonso moonshots?Of course, no Mets season would be complete without an injury update, and Frankie Montas is the early winner of the “First Guy on the IL” award after a lat strain is set to sideline him for a significant chunk of time. Because why wait until April for rotation problems when you can start early?And then there's Steve Cohen, who isn't exactly thrilled that the Mets finished 18th in attendance last season, despite a playoff run that had Citi Field rocking. The guys will break down his comments and what it means for the fan base moving forward—because when an owner spends like Cohen, he expects the seats to be filled.With a new season, big names, and unfinished business from last year's playoffs, the excitement is back in Queens. Tune in as we break it all down, crack some jokes, and get ready for another wild ride with the Mets. Baseball is back, and the fun is just beginning! #Mets #PiitB

Producer Joe updates us on Mt. Happer, a falsely advertised snow village, a cake bandit, and the truck spill of the week.

Excellent beers picked up at The Brewers Taphouse (Encinitas) and Beer Town (Oceanside). 

Gomer is going to be MIA for a few weeks and Luke was scrambling for a guest. That brings us to Producer Joe's appearance on Catching Foxes after two (long) years of producing the show. Luke and Producer Joe discuss what the future of media looks like, the morality of technology, and whether rich people should buy fancy things or simple things. Enjoy!

It's our BIG Best of 2024 podcast! In the annual very lengthy podcast, Jimmy and Producer Joe invite friends Avery Kaplan and Heidi MacDonald to join in the fun.

While they all often have multiple picks per category, Jimmy still has trouble narrowing down his choices (as usual). Hang in there for the ride as there a tons of great picks from the gang! Of course, as we always say, these picks are what we read/saw and we didn't read/see EVERYTHING. Do understand if we don't talk about some of your faves. Let us know what they are and we'll check them out!  Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

It's a brand-new offseason, and *The Put it in the Books Show* is back with an episode that Mets fans won't want to miss. Join Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (still hiding behind the wall like the Wilpons hid their checkbook during the Madoff era) as they break down the biggest moves of the offseason so far—starting with the bombshell news that Juan Soto is now a Met. That's right, Soto signed the biggest contract in North American sports history: 15 years, up to $805 million. Looks like the Coupons are long gone, and Steve Cohen is playing Monopoly with real money.But the Mets aren't done yet. The guys will discuss whether Pete Alonso will be next to lock in a deal or if he's stuck testing the open market, where he's reportedly struggling to find the long-term contract he's after. Will Pete stay in orange and blue, or is it time to panic-buy polar bear plushies? On the pitching front, the Mets made moves by signing Clay Holmes to a 3-year deal to bolster the rotation and picking up Griffin Canning on a low-risk, 1-year depth contract. With rumors of a cheap trade for a big name on the horizon, Mets fans can't help but wonder: Is this team finally ready to dominate, or are we setting ourselves up for another rollercoaster season? Tune in as the hosts break it all down with their trademark dry wit, overanalysis, and a healthy dose of nostalgia for the days when spending like this was just a pipe dream. With the Mets back in the playoffs and building for an even brighter future, it's an offseason filled with hope, excitement, and a touch of chaos—just how we like it. #PiitB #Mets

Producer Joe shares a special appearance made by a Jet-ski Santa, an NFL falling through over a Madden Rating, and an embarrassing Doug Gottlieb loss.

This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the ever-mysterious Producer Joe (still more cryptic than a bullpen meeting) wrap up the 2024 Mets season in style. The guys will look back at their preseason predictions to see how wildly off base they were—spoiler alert: it's going to be funnier than Keith trying to explain WAR to Rodriguez.The Mets' 2024 campaign saw them return to the playoffs, making it an exciting year for fans in Flushing. Now, with the hot stove heating up, the conversation shifts to free agency and one name on everyone's radar: Juan Soto. Rumors suggest he's about to sign a deal worth $650 million, a number so high even Producer Joe might come out from behind the wall to negotiate a cut.Join us for a mix of nostalgia, humor, and offseason speculation as we reflect on a thrilling season and look ahead to what promises to be an exciting winter for Mets fans. Whether you're here for the analysis, the jokes, or just to see who admits they were dead wrong about their preseason takes, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Mets baseball is back, and the future is looking bright—just like Soto's bank account. #Mets #PiitB

Gomer and I chat about his background as a speaker, credentialism in the nonprofit world, and how to improve your communication skills. Enjoy!

This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (who's still more of a ghost than a host) dive into what might just be the most exciting Mets playoff run in years. The Mets knocked the Phillies out of the postseason by taking games 3 and 4 in true dramatic fashion, proving that everyone on this team is stepping up when it matters most—something Keith wishes he could say about Rodriguez's fantasy team. Lindor continues to amaze, showing why he's the heart and soul of this team, while Vientos is developing into a superstar right before our eyes. Farace is already claiming he called it, but let's be honest, his predictions are as reliable as the Mets bullpen on a bad day. The Mets split the first two games of the NLCS in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, and now they're heading back to Citi Field for three games in front of a crowd that's going to be louder than Keith when someone mentions analytics. It's playoff baseball in Flushing, and the excitement is off the charts. Join us as we break down the action, poke a little fun at each other, and get ready for what could be the most electric stretch of Mets baseball in years. Playoff fever is here, and if you're a Mets fan, you're in for a wild ride—just don't expect Producer Joe to say it to your face.
