It's been said before but bears repeating. The first-place Mets lead the National League in wins and still have yet to lose a series this season. They're getting it done with solid pitching, fielding, and timely hitting. However, we've seen this before. The season is about a fifth of the way through. So, let us pause and ask what differentiates this team from last year's Mets, who, on Aug. 14, 2021, dropped in the standings behind the Phillies and Braves and never recovered. Please join...

May the Fourth be with you. Despite Wednesday's sixth inning implosion, the force remains strong in Queens. Let's not lose sight of the Mets battling the defending World Champions and coming away with a split and that they are still yet to lose a series this season. That's partly due to some remarkable pitching from Tylor Megill and a bullpen that combined to pitch a no-hitter against the rival Phillies. The front office is performing with conviction as well as they bid adieu to Robinson...

You can't win them all, but the Mets are surely winning a lot, and they keep getting hit by pitches! Despite losing Wednesday's finale at St. Louis, they've won their first six series to start the season and return home with a 14-6 record, good enough for first place in the National League East. In that order, pitching, fielding, and timely hitting have led the way, with Buck Showalter spearheading the charge. Please join Sam, Rich, and Mike as they deliberate over one of the finest starts...

Play Ball!! After a long off-season of collective bargaining and abbreviated Spring Training, the game of baseball - pitching, defense, and timely hitting - is finally topical again. The New York Mets are now four games into their season, but fans already appear in mid-season form. After commanding the first three games against the Nationals, the Metsville Nine suffered a late-inning collapse on Sunday, thus preventing them from achieving a season-opening sweep at Washington. The next...

Look out, Roosevelt Avenue! That piano falling out of the sky has a New York Mets logo on it. Today's series finale against the Brewers was akin to something out of Looney Toons. If only they were as enjoyable to watch. Swept by the Cardinals, two losses against the Phillies, swept at Boston, and again at Milwaukee, the free fall continues. The season's final homestand opens on Tuesday against the always troublesome Miami Marlins, then it's off to Atlanta to close out the schedule...

LIVE at 8pm ET, baseball writer and analyst Ernest Dove joins us once more for a healthy dose of Metsian chatter as August wraps up. Players are thumbing down the fans, in good spirit they say, but are they the only ones who are laughing? Can two feel-good wins against the Nats become anything meaningful, or is whatever will occur be too little too late?

LIVE at 8pm ET, The Metsian Podcast braintrust ponders what it could take for this Mets team to get back into the conversation after an 11-game swing in the standinsgs in only 22 days. Can returning injured players such as Javy Baez and Francisco Lindor give enough of a boost to get the offense moving in the right direction? With Jacob deGrom most likely out for the season, do we even stand a chance? What can be expected from a returning Syndergaard? Was Steve Cohen right to call his offense...

The New York Mets have reached the all-star break in first place for the first time since 2007. It has been a rather interesting (slightly more than) first half journey to get there. The Mets saw their season have a delayed start because of COVID-19. Then, they had to weather a slew of injuries (18 players on the IL at one point). We saw names like Jake Hager, Johneshwy Fargas, and Mason Willimas. Yet, the Mets persevered. Most recently, they played 33 games in 31 days, and came out of...
