The Put it in the Books Show S8 E8: Chemistry, Clutch... and a Classic Mets Gut PunchThe Mets dropped one in true Mets fashion—a gut-wrenching, self-inflicted 6-5 extra innings loss to the Dodgers that felt like a throwback to the worst timeline. And what better way to unpack it than with Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe (who actually showed up this week)? Keith is out tonight, likely reviewing footage of Lindor’s glove work from April.Despite the meltdown, the Mets are still 39-24 and winners of 12 of their last 15. Pete, Soto, and Nimmo are heating up at the plate. The dugout’s loose (flip-the-bottle, anyone?), chemistry is cooking, and even McNeil’s playing CF without needing a GPS. Pete and Megill’s handshake? No idea what it is, but it’s working. Extend them both.Should Pete be the captain? Lindor? Nimmo? Or do we just rotate the title weekly like Producer Joe's attendance?The fellas also dig into the pitching—maybe the best staff in baseball—and whether the Mets need to make moves or just trust t

Tonight, the A-Team of Farace and Tim take the mic—Anthony and Dave are out, possibly still trying to process the fact that Aaron Rodgers actually signed a contract. That’s right, after months of cryptic quotes and holding everyone hostage like it was *Lost*, Rodgers is heading to Pittsburgh. Unfortunately for the Steelers, they now lead the league in ayahuasca exposure. Don’t worry—neither Tim nor Farace are buying in. They’re just happy he’s *not* a Giant.In the NHL, the Stanley Cup Final kicked off in *Edmonton*, where the Oilers took Game 1 behind lockdown goaltending from Stuart Skinner and just enough from Connor McDavid, who’s still terrifying even when he doesn’t score. The Panthers will look to bounce back before Alberta gets their long-awaited parade.In the NBA, it’s Game 1 of the Finals tonight: Pacers vs. Thunder. Don’t let the small markets fool you—OKC is *dominant*. They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a squad that’s been steamrolling opponents. The Pacers

Farace is out tonight scouting the next generation of CitiField greatness as his son’s Angels face off against the Mets in a makeup of last week’s washed-out championship. Meanwhile, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (behind the wall and definitely not checking TikTok mid-show) are holding it down for another edition of *The Put it in the Books Show*.The Mets are 34-22, just finished a tidy 4-2 homestand after series wins over the Dodgers and the “please-relegate-them” White Sox, but somehow the mood in Metsland still feels like they’re 22-34. Why? Maybe it’s the team hitting like they’re allergic to runners in scoring position.Still, this squad just keeps winning – with lights-out pitching and timely defense doing the heavy lifting while the bats slowly wake up. With some injured arms eyeing returns soon, the guys will debate who gets bumped and whether a six-man rotation might be on the table.Plus: the case for team captain—Lindor, who checks in with every player after each series like he’s taking roll cal

We’re celebrating Pride Month the best way we know how—with love, laughs, and the complete inability to stay on topic. Fred randomly brings up The All-American Rejects (because apparently it’s 2005 in his head), and Parker goes deep on black fatigue, while Allan leads the charge against outrageous concert ticket fees—because seriously, $79 to sit behind a pole and hear the bass line?Add in some hilarious back-and-forth banter, a deep dive into weird fights between monks (yes, that happened), and a few takes tha

Well, Joe’s technically behind the wall, but we’ll pretend he’s contributing more than just echoing Keith’s stats.The Mets snapped a three-game losing streak last night with a solid win over the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty finally waking up at the plate and Tylor Megill looking like a guy who wants to stay in this rotation permanently. The Mets now sit at 29-19 and are still holding strong near the top of the division, despite the recent hiccups.It might be time to officially say it: the Mets have five pretty good starters. This rotation has been the unexpected rock of the team, which is saying something when your offense and defense have been running on vibes and hope against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox.Starling Marte was bumped up to the two-hole yesterday, which sounds good on paper… u

The Put it in the Books crew is back for Season 8, Episode 5, and the Mets are 28-16, sitting atop the NL East with a sparkling 17-5 record at home. Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are in the lineup tonight, and Producer Joe is a game-time decision—though there’s a good chance he’s behind the wall, lost in a sea of Citi Field concession options or pretending to scout bullpen arms from his couch.This week, the guys break down a Mets team that’s built what might quietly be the best pitching staff in baseball. The rotation is shoving, the bullpen has been solid, and the Mets currently lead the league in ERA. Not bad for a staff many thought would need duct tape and prayers to get through May.Meanwhile, the offense is showing signs of stability, and the young guys are pushing the veterans. Are we watching a new era start to take shape? And more importantly, did the Mets actually hit the jackpot with Carlos Mendoza? In just his second year, he’s got this team playing focused, consistent baseball—and maybe, just maybe
