  • Real Mets Fans

    I recently discovered them and quickly fell in love with their podcast. They are not only Mets fans, they are realistic Mets fans, and I find I am agreeing with most of what they say. They keep it simple, they keep it real and also entertain, hoping to continue enjoying their podcast for a very long time.
