OABT SEASON 5 FINALE: Mets 2021 - PAIN
It's been over, but now it's over over. Put a nail in it. This season has been a top 5 letdown. Who underperformed the most? Who was their MVP? Do you even care? 153 days until Spring Training Opening Day. Enjoy your time off from this misery. SEE YA IN 2022!
OABT S5 E30: Let's Get This Over With

OABT S5 E28: WE DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL!
With just a few weeks left, the Mets are still not out of this thing. Do you believe they have a shot? The Yankees are coming to Citi Field this weekend, and for the first time in a while, both teams have postseason hopes on the line during the Subway Series. The 7 Line Army Holiday Party is almost a go, Pete Alonso broke the 100 homers mark, and everyone will know your name in Boston with T7LA.
OABT S5 E27: THE METS PLAYERS HIT THE THIRD RAIL WITH METS FANS
To boo or not to boo? Do whatever you want, but the players need to toughen up. The Mets are 0-3 in in their black jerseys, Noah Syndergaard has coronavirus, Jacob deGrom is throwing again, Howie Rose is having season ending surgery this week, and all this thumbs down nonsense.
OABT S5 E26: So You're Saying There's A Chance
It's slim, but there's a chance. FanGraphs says the Mets now have a 5.3% chance of making the playoffs and as usual Darren is talking himself in to believing it'll happen.

OABT S5 E24: JUST SMILE, METS FANS
Sorry, Pete Alonso.There's nothing to smile about right now. Our Bobby V interview went about as well as the Mets road trip. But, in the brief time we had with him, he assured us that every team goes through a bad 2-8 stretch, and this was ours. Much like the Mets, we’ll try again next week.
OABT S5 E23: 86 CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN FIRST, BUT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT
August is here, and it's going to be a do or die month for the Mets. They've been all alone on the NL East's top step for 86 consecutive days, but it surely doesn't feel like it. The Mets were back in black on Friday, inducted 3 new members in to their HOF on Saturday, and lost the weekend series on Sunday. Baez is now a Met, but with another deGrom setback did the team really do enough before the deadline to set them up for the rest of the year? The Kumar Rocker draft deal fell through. Is this same old Mets or just bad luck?
