Mets On Tap Episode 83 – OMGee That Was Fun

Michael Jake and Jason discuss the end of the Mets season, the wall they hit, NLCS strategy, wondering where Ben Gamel was, and the beers we had along the way.

We discuss hoping the Yankees lose, our favorite Mets gimmicks of the season, and giving a billion dollars to Juan Soto. You heard it here first: $1b over 16 years. Get it done Steve.

That’s a wrap on 2024. We’ll be only recording sporadically until Spring Training, until then..

Mets On Tap Episode 80 – Energetic Mets Playoff Wins

Michael and Jason talk about the thrilling Mets clincher game, some games it reminded us, and how fun it is to watch these Mets play with such intensity and emotion.

But mostly we just enjoy the Mets, and Botty McBotface’s upgrades.
