OABT S3 E6: OPENING DAY IS FINALLY HERE! Ron Darling joins the show.
At least for today, all is right in the Mets world. Opening Day is upon us, Pete Alonso made the roster, Jacob deGrom got his extension, spirits are high, and baseball is finally here! Pete McCarthy and Darren Meenan chatting about all things Mets from T7LHQ, and take a few live calls.
Plus, a special taped segment with Ron Darling from his home in Connecticut. A very laid back conversation between Ron and Darren about the current state of the Mets, his thoughts about the upcoming season, and a few great stories. Plus, he answers some questions from Twitter, and we chat about his new book "108 Stitches", available April 2nd wherever books are sold.

An "Orange and Blue Thing" is something that Mets fans can relate to, so that's what we talk about. The comments section during the live stream turns in to a chat room, and the fan engagement is cool to see.
This Mets legend is just a couple years removed from the ball field. He leads the team all time offensively in numerous categories, should have his number retired soon enough, and has a book titled The Captain about to drop on October 13th. He's our friend, and yours. The one, the only, number 5, and soon to be father of 3, David Wright.
The Mets are in the home stretch, and with these wacky MLB postseason rules for 2020, the boys still aren't out of it. Jacob deGrom's Cy Young 3 peat might be in jeopardy. The Mets were granted permission to wear the first responders caps on 9/11, but was is for genuine reasons? The 2021 Spring Training schedule is already out. Steve Cohen is inches away from owning the team, and more. Mets talk mixed in with the usual randomness you'd expect from Julia Quadrino and Darren Meenan.
It looks like the ink is about to dry on Steve Cohen's deal to purchase the Mets. Conforto is having a career year, and somehow still gets hate. Gsellman broke a rib while pitching. Darren wants to pay the Mets to let him work at Citi Field, and more from this week in Mets baseball.
