The New York Mets were trailing 4-0 through the first five innings of their game on Tuesday night, but then their superstars came to the rescue.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the impressive win and also looks ahead to some positional battles for the playoffs.

The New York Mets have officially clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2016! Max Scherzer threw six perfect innings in his return off the IL and the lineup piled on seven runs to win their fifth game in a row, clinching their place in October. Host Ryan Finkelstein discusses the significance of clinching the playoffs and recaps what was a great game.

The New York Mets have reached a low point in what has been an overwhelming positive season, getting swept by the Cubs in embarrassing fashion. Host Ryan Finkelstein vents the frustration every Mets fan is enduring right now, but also takes a look back two years ago to try to find a silver lining. At least, the Mets aren't still owned by the Wilpons, who sold the team two years ago on the same day the Mets were just swept on. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
