Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

In Episode 160, Jeffrey and Lukhas discuss all the goings-on in Metsland, which include...well...uh...the Mets are interested in Ben Zobrist? Jordan Zimmermann signed with a team in the AL Central? People on twitter want to trade Lucas Duda? Yeah, it is the miserable dregs of the offseason where we have nothing to talk about and still somehow fill 60 minutes. We also answer your e-mails about Daniel Murphy, JA Happ, Matt Harvey, Daniel Murphy, baseball history and Daniel Murphy. Well, at least some things never change. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's time for your hosts Amazin' Avenue Audio Offseason Plans, but Chris McShane can't be bothered to defend his 2014 title (which he won by cheating). He claims he is sick or something, leaving Jeffrey and Greg to debate the merits of Hansel Robles, 8th inning guy versus Dexter Fowler, leadoff hitter. Next, we answer your e-mails on Jeremy Hefner, Marcell Ozuna, and once and future podcast legends. Finally, we end the show with Greg dropping some Irish soccer (?!) knowledge.

You won't stop e-mailing the show, so Jeffrey and Lukas break the emergency weekend podcast seal to clean out the inbox. And since there is a bit of Mets news to cover we kick things off with a discussion of Daniel Murphy's Qualifying Offer and the Mets "attempts" to trade for Andrelton Simmons. Then it is onto your e-mails about Adam Eaton, Denard Span, trading Lucas Duda, spending lots of money, the Mets shortstop situation, and (sigh) Jose Reyes. Finally, we wrap things up with a belated IFK Goteborg update. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Normally by now on Amazin' Avenue Audio, we would have done a season review, an offseason preview, and some Rule 5 talk, but as you may have heard on podcasts like this one, the Mets spent all of October in the playoffs. So we have some catching up to do. First Jeffrey and Kate review the 2015 season one last time and discuss the Terry Collins extension. Next, Jeffrey and Brian look at some early roster moves and the Mets crop of free agents.Then, Jeffrey and Greg discuss Rule 5 protections and further 40-man roster machinations. Oh there's more, Jeffrey and Lukas preview the Mets offseason and discuss the *sigh* shortstop situation. Finally, Jeffrey and Milo answer your e-mails until Jeffrey finally has to cry 'uncle.'

Gather round listeners and you shall here, well nothing about Game 5 of the World Series. It doesn't feel right (and really you could just listen to the Game 4 recap again for effect). Instead Jeffrey, Steve, Lukhas, and Brian throw an Irish Wake for the 2015 Mets. There will be time for season reviews, offseason previews, and hot Rule 5 protection action in a week or so, but for now we send off one of the most fun teams of our lifetimes.

"The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor." - Albert Camus Look, you know what's coming in this episode. You can probably guess what we are going to discuss. Whether you choose to listen or not is up to you. Whatever. We'll understand if you don't. This wasn't some Mets/Marlins extra-inning disaster from 2013 Jeffrey and Greg can bitterly, but still bemusedly joke about. This was something else entirely.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In our Game 3 World Series recap, Jeffrey and Greg are exuberant after the Mets win over the Royals at Citi Field. We also might be loud because we tried to record on podcast on Jeffrey's phone on the way back to the 7 train. Greg is in love with David Wright, Jeffrey is confused by Ned Yost, The Mets are back in the World Series, and we are all back in the New York Groove. The lesson is you should always listen to Rowdy Roddy Piper. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Episode 153 Jeffrey and Chris try to make sense of the first two games of the World Series. It's hard, because we are very tired, and the Mets have been kinda bad. We review the bizarre oddities of Game 1, the depressing thrashing in Game 2, and try and figure out a way back into the series for the New York Mets.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In the first ever Amazin' Avenue Audio World Series preview Jeffrey and Greg are confused and terrified. This was true before every other Mets playoff series though, so a good omen perhaps? We discuss the Mets playoff rotation, how confident we are in the Mets bullpen, and who on the Royals scares us the most. Next, Andy McCullough, who you may remember from appearances on such podcasts as this one, joins the show to delve further in depth on the Mets World Series opponent. Then, David Roth is back to talk about Pat Misch, Alay Soler, and other non-World-Series playing Mets we have known. Finally we wrap things up with your emails. It's just like a regular podcast, except the Mets are about to play in the World Series ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Episode 151 of Amazin' Avenue AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   (so that happened, Jeffrey, Greg, and Steve try to talk about it coherently. They mostly succeed we think. On the agenda: The 2015 National League Champion New York Mets are your 2015 National League Champions. They don't have great merchandise, but they do have Daniel Murphy, who is hotter than the rapidly expanding universe after the Big Bang which also resembles the speed and trajectory of all his crazy dingers.)

It's another milestone episode for Amazin' Avenue Audio! Seems like this one came around quickly. Maybe because we are doing podcasts after every playoff game and THE METS KEEP PLAYING PLAYOFF GAMES YOU GUYS. This one was similar to the previous two. Good pitching, scrappy runs, Daniel Murphy dongs, DANZA KUDURO, and the Familia fist pumps. What happens next? We have no idea. This is crazy. We also answer your e-mails about what pro wrestler we would like to curse us out on Twitter because it is that kind of night (the kind of night where the Mets are up 3-0 in the NLCS to be specific).

In episode 149 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Steve recap the Mets Game Two win over the Cubs in the NLCS. We've run out of things to say about Daniel Murphy, and we can't say it any better than Pedro when it comes to Noah Syndergaard, so we just end up exchanging recipe ideas by the end of the show. Though there is some (more) real talk about our emotional state as it relates to the 2015 Mets for those of you that (rightfully) demand actual Mets content in your Mets podcasts.

The Mets won Game 1 of the NLCS behind a sterling performance by Matt Harvey, and Jeffrey and Steve are hear to talk about it in Episode 148 of Amazin' Avenue Audio. Not at the bar where they were watching the game (Jeffrey's phone died), but several hours later when we were all very sleepy. "Let's do it in ten minutes" was the off-air directive, so of course enjoy thirty minutes of discussion on Harvey shoving, Familia freezing, Murph murphing, Beltran playoff stat reading, and general incoherent babbling.

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's measured, reasoned review of NLDS Game 5, Jeffrey, Greg, and Steve consider the big questions? Like is Jacob deGrom a "big game pitcher?" Is Noah Syndergaard a "Big game pitcher?" Is Jerurys Familia a "big game pitcher?" Have we reached peak Daniel Murphy? And what do we think of the Chicago Cubs? There's also some great NYC ambient sound because Greg decided to walk his dog during the pod. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's NLDS Game 4 recap, well, things didn't go to Terry Collins (also our) plan, so the Mets are headed out West for a do or die Game 5, whch hopefully won't be as crazy as Blue Jays/Rangers. We tip out hat to Clayton Kershaw (though we wish he could have waited another year to smash some #narrative) and talk about how we are coping with the impending Game 5. Fortunaely the Mets have one bad hombre on the mound. Next, we answer your e-mails about America's favorite shorstops and suitable punishments for Chase Utley. Finally, we wrap things up with a slightly concerning IFK Goteborg update. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
