One month ago, the Mets were seven games out of a Wild Card spot and executed baseball's biggest firesale with the supposed intention of tanking the season. And now, the Mets are still seven games out of a Wild Card spot. Is this the worst possible scenario? And because the Mets news isn't all that interesting nowadays, Grace dedicates a segment to the streaking New York Liberty, who are vying for the top seed in the WNBA playoffs. Will the Libs deliver New York its first WNBA title? What sort of impact has seafoam green had on New York's basketball scene? Is this going to become a basketball podcast? And finally, Grace and Christian discuss MLB rule changes impacting the playoffs and a truly wild movie sweeping the nation.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Shohei Ohtani torched the Mets only days after finding out he suffered a torn UCL. That isn’t really a Mets story, except maybe it kinda is? And while it’s a little gross to ask, do the Mets benefit at all from Ohtani’s career-changing injury?   Grace and Christian also discuss Kodai Senga and José Quintana as the not-bad one-two punch for the Mets’ pitching staff. Is this a top-of-the-rotation that Mets fans can be excited about for 2024? They also praise the Mets for announcing number retirement ceremonies for Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, both long overdue and well-deserved for two franchise legends. And speaking of legendary, Grace discusses what she believes to be George Lucas’s finest movie.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing the past week of Mets baseball, including the struggles of Carlos Carrasco, whose career may be over. We talk about all sorts of sad pitcher news, including Shohei Ohtani’s torn UCL, Noah Syndergaard’s DFA, and Stephen Strasburg’s retirement. We also talk about the Pete Alonso trade rumors and the latest on Edwin Díaz’s progress toward game action. In our baseball segment this week, we discuss other teams following the Athletics’ lead in threatening to relocate if they do not get the funds for renovated/new stadiums. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we enc

A handful of minor-league position players have found regular playing time on the big-league roster. What do they bring to the Mets? Do any of them have futures with the 2024 squad? Grace and Christian discuss. They also examine Mrs. Met as the internet’s favorite girl and how and why her makeover came to be. And did you know Daniel Murphy just retired? Grace and Christian debate on what exactly he means to Mets lore. And finally: The Hill. It’s a new baseball movie! Will it be any good? Maybe! But probably not!

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing the Mets, dare we say it, actually playing well over the past week. We also chat about the Pete Alonso ball toss “controversy.”  Next, we cover the small nuggets of information we are learning about the investigation into Wander Franco, none of which are good. We also discuss the latest word salad from Orioles owner John Angelos and wonder why that man is ever allowed to speak to the media.  Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Home Run Applesauce podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Brian and Chris discuss how the Mets are not good enough at tanking, but not good enough at baseball, and so are in this very strange middle ground in terms of the season record. The lack of a Major League Ronny Mauricio is, again, brought up as well.

Welcome to Flushing is Burning, a weekly podcast hosted by Grace Carbone and Christian Romo that examines the Mets, queer issues, and the occasional intersection of the two. Now that the Mets are playing for 2024 and beyond, Grace and Christian discuss what tanking means for those still invested in the 2023 Mets. And while it’s not a fun discussion, it still leads to thankfulness for those narrating the way through the rest of the season.  They also talk about some Justin Verlander gossip leaked to the New York Post, as well as speculate on which Mets player could have been behind the leak. And while they couldn’t find an easy transition, they also touch on the Wander Franco accusations.  Also, Christian watched Asteroid City! He has some thoughts, and Grace dives into a movie this week that is the complete opposite of Asteroid City.  Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingIsBurningPod, and email us at flushingisburning@gmail.com.  As always, you can listen or subscribe to all of our Home Run A

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by talking about the truly heinous lineup the Mets put forward against the Braves in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader and debate whether it’s worse than the 2015 lineup in which John Mayberry Jr. batted cleanup.  We then discussed an encouraging piece by Ken Rosenthal in The Athletic that indicated that the Mets do plan to spend money in the offseason. It also contained the framework for a potential Pete Alonso extension, which we wholeheartedly support in spite of unfounded allegations that Alonso is a clubhouse cancer. In our baseball segment this week, we talk about recent comments by Athletics team president Dave Kaval and disturbing allegations that Wander Franco engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor.  Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of u
