“I was 9 years old in 1956 when I attended my first ballgame at Ebbets Field. It was the last regular season game, Brooklyn won the game 8-6 against Pittsburgh, Newcombe won his 27th game, Duke hit 2 homers to win NL homer title with 43 HRs, the win clinched the pennant on the last day/season and it turned out to Jackie’s final regular season game (he hit a homer, too). So I was hooked on baseball. A year or so later I got my first life lesson with a broken heart when the Dodgers did the unthinkable and moved away.
As a kid I hated the Yankees. No way they could be my new team. And then there was talk of a new NL NY team. The selection of the name Mets was a head scratcher. Didn’t like the sound of it. I thought Metros sounded better. Still do. But whatever. I liked the selection of royal blue but would’ve liked blue, white and red numerals. But oh well. I was glad to have a local team to root for and their ineptitude was endearing. Every one of those 40 first wins felt like David slaying the Goliath.
So a suggestion for a show - a deep dig into the genesis of the re-entry of NL baseball in NY.
Keep up the great work, Mike.”

“UPDATE: The pandemic and protests exposed Mike as a know-nothing blowhard. Bad production quality plus really bad takes = not a show worth listening to anymore. No wonder Metsmerized dumped him.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Mike does a pretty good show and I must admit I listen regularly. Always a good and...”Read full review »

“Talkin Mets is the voice Mets fans need to hear because it has a unique perspective, and is very well reasoned. Mike Silva speaks truth to power AND to the hive mentality with unique insight and perspective.
If you need proof, go back and listen to how Mike treated the 1. Callaway firing, 2....”Read full review »
