Summary

All the Mets are getting married! We should rename them the New York Bridegrooms ! We're back after another horrible experience with a technology gremlin who crazily and unfairly entered our devices and ruined an episode of the show during which we discussed Brett Baty's engagement for upwards of 10 minutes. This week we're talking about the looming trade deadline, but not in the way where guys who have no experience in baseball management draw up their "mock proposals" and then ask for approval on them from internet strangers. We're only talking about our feelings, really. Mark "Swaggy V" Vientos—this is not a man who should be in Minneapolis or Cleveland, with all due respect to those possibly lovely American cities (wouldn't know). Incidentally, I'm sorry I sound so New York elitist this week and that I didn't know how to say "Wilkes-Barre." Edwin Diaz almost killed someone two times this week which was interesting. We answered a mailbag question about whether pitchers feel bad when they do this and why they basically never apologize. Send us more questions at [email protected] we love them!! Let's go Mets!
