Double, double toil and trouble; summer burns, and dog days bubble.  After two losses against the Padres, the resilient Mets responded with a dramatic takedown of the New York Yankees in the subway series.  They thus reestablished a three-game lead over the second-place Atlanta Braves.  Alas, what will prove to be a wild second half of the season is excitedly underway.  With the trade deadline now less than a week away, it's up to the general manager to reinforce the team and fortify their division standing.  Assisting the Metsian Podcast in detailing the Mets' minor league commodities at Billy Eppler's disposal and plotting a potential course of action will be the Sunshine State's baseball reporter and analyst Ernest Dove.  This evening's podcast goes LIVE at 9:00 pm (EST); call the show with a quick hot take at 646-787-1919, or send questions, comments, and rude remarks to @THEMetsianPod on Twitter.
