  • My Fave Mets Podcast

    Hey Mike, thanks for all the great shows and insights you provide us. And for helping to get us through this disappointing & frustrating season! A note from this past week’s extended episode. I thought Steve Keane was fantastic. I think you should bring him on a few times a season to chop it up. Thanks and LGM!

  • Snap Out of it!

    Peterson was an All Star last year not a 5th starter. And you think Conforto was only good for a few years? Familiarize yourself with Baseball Referenxe.com. Compare Conforto’s numbers as a Met to Nimmo and Lindor. Plus he played a gold glove right field the best player on the Mets for a long time.

  • No spin. Straight talk

    I appreciate how Mike Silva doesn’t do the typical click-bait show. He tells it like it is(even if we don’t want to hear it), no spin, no bull. Keep up the good work!
