1:19:17

This team is rolling baby. Monday we crushed the Rangers, Tuesday was probably the best win of the season with big contributions from Brandon Nimmo, Mark Vientos, Francisco Álvarez, Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz and so many more.

2M ago1:02:37

1:02:37

Fun, actual fun. Mets sweep the Padres fueled half by grimace and half by JD Martinez. Does this change the Mets trade deadline plans? We try to figure it out.

3M ago38:48

In particular, what sort of mindset or attitude shou…

Mets are a Disaster, Jorge López Fiasco, Prospect Report | 293 1:10:41

3M ago1:10:41

1:10:41

This team is legit unbelievable. Not only did they get swept by the Dodgers, blow another lead, not score for 20 innings, and Pete Alonso might’ve gotten hurt. Jorge Lopez threw his glove into the crowd and then might’ve said the Mets are the worst team in the league and that he’s the worst teammate in the league. It never ends it actually never en…

Edwin Díaz Blew Another Save and Mets Keep Losing | 292 50:54

3M ago50:54

50:54

Somehow this keeps spiraling. The Mets have totally mishandled the Edwin Díaz situation. We're inventing new ways to lose games. Francisco Lindor stared at a two strike pitch. Brett Baty and Mark Vientos are pushing each other to be better. Great starts from Christian Scott, Luis Severino, and Sean Manaea. Media Marvels making fun of ourselves, a s…

Pain, pain everywhere. Something is wrong. We don't know what is but we try to talk through. This Edwin stuff is the worst. Even Christian Scott got hit. This stinks.

Crazy week. It felt like a year. Edwin blew two saves. Francisco Lindor didn't get a hit. Christian Scott hasn't even pitched yet.

How as churches can we best engage and help the next generation on the issue of sexuality?

Christian Scott is Sick, Pete Alonso is Lost, and Mets Swept by Rays | 286 1:10:01

4M ago1:10:01

1:10:01

Really bad series by our Mets overshadowed a completely electric debut by Christian Scott. We get to Scott, and James waxes poetic, but we have to go over the bad stuff first. Pete Alonso is ice cold, the stolen bases against us are getting ridiculous, and Edwin Diaz still isn't quite Edwin Diaz yet. All not good, we take the temperature of each an…

3M ago31:39

How should we approach a conversation with a gay couple wanting to get baptised or get their child baptised?

4M ago1:15:11

1:15:11

Shoutout Mark Vientos, avoided the sweep and made a huge case to stay in the lineup. We review the whole series including José Buttó's worst start in almost a year but James isn't worried, Adrian Houser's issues, Pete Alonso's 200th HR, five minutes of Knicks talk (sorry, we're excited and hate Philly), and Mets might have the best bullpen in baseb…

1:02:10

Get the brooms out baby. Mets complete their first sweep in over a year and we're super pumped. Trying not to get ahead of ourselves, but this team might be g**d.
