We're back, and bringing on a very special guest!
Orange and Blue Thing: Season 2 kicks off two weeks from today, and Darren and I will be joined by new Mets skipper Mickey Callaway.
On October 23, Callaway was named the 21st manager in Mets history, and we'll talk to him about the interview process, his player-first approach, and how he expects to change the culture on Roosevelt Avenue. Plus, we'll be letting some commenters submit some questions, so make sure you tune into the live show and you could see Mickey answer your question on the air.
If you're new to the party, Orange and Blue Thing is our weekly show that airs on Facebook Live and doubles as an audio podcast. It covers all things involved with our team. The topics run the gamut, from on-field performance to lifestyle of being a Mets fan. It's a blast, and we're really excited to be back for a second season.
Thanks to the Mets for making Mickey available. Darren has spent the fall lining up a lot of great guests, so this is just the beginning.
Season 2 premieres Thursday, December 28 at 6:00 PM Eastern on Facebook.com/The7Line. Like the page if you haven't already, and set yourself up for notifications for when we're live.
To catch up on Season 1, which includes chats with Mike Piazza, Curtis Granderson, Paul LoDuca, Kevin Burkhardt, and more, check out the video archive here, and our audio archive on both SoundCloud and iTunes.
We're extremely saddened to hear that Rizky "Riz" Ridwan has passed. Riz was always a friendly face in the crowd and started cheering with The 7 Line Army a decade ago during the 2014 season. He hit San Francisco with us that year along with some games at Citi Field.
