Kevin Chapman is this week's guest co-host to discuss the latest Mets news. It's not easy talking about this team, but we have a good conversation. Plus, we open the NLT Mailbag, which includes a question from the UK. Join us! #Mets #LGM

Jeffrey Bellone ("Mets Fix") is here to discuss this mess of a Mets season. Who deserves the most blame? How are the prospects doing? Is there any hope left? It's a pulchritudinous episode! Join us! #Mets #LGM

A four-part show! We start with the horrible weekend (and the horrible season), and then talk to Margaret Guervich, the author of Yasha's Amazin' Bar Mitzvah.

Mark Simon (of Sports Info Solutions) is here to discuss defense and how David Stearns' promise of "Run Prevention" is doing. We also discuss whether Francisco Lindor is still an elite defender, which Mets are underrated defensively, and Mark's newsletter, which is all about the '86 Mets. Join us! #Mets #LGM

This episode was recorded on Friday due to scheduling conflicts, so we're not as angry as we could be.

Rob Cesternino ("Rob Has a Podcast") is here to discuss his Mets fandom and Survivor, including: which current Met would win Survivor?, should Survivor implement ABS?, and how would Jeff Probst talk about the Mets at Tribal Counsel? We also look back at the Survivor careers of Jeff Kent and John Rocker. After that, Jeff comments on Yankees fans' continued obsession with the Mets. Join us! #Mets #LGM

You can pre-order Rob's book, "The Tribe and I Have Spoken" at robhasabook.com.

Guest co-host Jeff Cohen (from the "Baseball & BBQ" podcast) joins us to talk about the Mets winning 3 of 4 games in SF and how a few wins can change your view. We also discuss ABS, Carlos Beltran's number retirement, and the idea of "Old Friends." We wrap up with "What Can the Mets Do For You?" which features the return of "Banner Day." Join us! #Mets #LGM

Jeff talks about the opening series and the first of 4 West Coast trips (thank you, Rob Manfred). Then, author A.M. Gittliz is here to discuss his new book, "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team" (7:30). Join us! #Mets #LGM

What do we know about the 2026 Mets? Until the first pitch is broadcast on NBC, nothing yet. But once the season starts, the sense of unfamiliarity that has pervaded our impressions of the offseason will dissipate and we will be able to say who these Mets are and what they might do. But National League Town doesn’t care to wait even that long, so for its Opening Day Spectacular, Greg Prince joins Jeff Hysen to attempt to articulate some feelings about an outfit that is 0-0 with 162 games to go. Also, they look forward to tuning their radios/devices to the last go-round with the singular Howie Rose as he prepares to talk us through one more year of Mets baseball (may it be put in the books as a championship season). Finally, during "What Can the Mets Do For You?", Greg cuts the ribbon, at least in his mind, on the Seaver Center, the home for New York baseball history, ideally adjacent to Citi Field.
