Catchin' You Up on All the Podcasts

There have been a slew of podcasts that I haven't been posting in here, and I'll start with the latest of the Rising Apple Report.

...After telling you that legendary talk show host Larry King will be on my Bedford & Sullivan Podcast once more at 2PM ET to discuss the Playoffs, and of course, Dem Bums.

Now, back to the Report! Unfortunately, the beat got to the "Mets will not pursue Jose Abreu" headline AFTER we talked about it for 5 minutes on the show, but that doesn't take away from the great debate and conversation we had. On top of that, we discussed the Jumped-Over-the-Final-Hurdle Willets Point Development project, the arbitration-eligible players the Mets have, and Matt Harvey's decision to have the Tommy John Surgery.

And after you listen to that one, give yourself a taste of New York National League History, staying active listeners in the research process of my developing HBO-Style Brooklyn Dodgers TV Series! Highlights down below include Pitcher Carl Erskine discussing the '55 season on the 58th Anniversary of their Game 7 win over the Yankees, Polo Grounds visitor's clubhouse bat boy Richie McCabe with a slew of stories about the '54 and '55 NY Baseball Giants' seasons, and Dodgers Team Historian Mark Langill discussing Leo Durocher, Larry MacPhail and the early 40's era of Brooklyn Dodgers baseball!

Royally Blue

Well, that basically sucked.

It opened bittersweet with an Eric Young, Jr. walkoff, a glimmer of hope that this team has spunk after their leader, David Wright, went down with a hamstring strain (after hearing about tightness in that area for a few days prior.)

It was relatively clear all weekend how much this team misses the guy.

So, now it must be figured out how to ignite another spark while the Captain is down. I'm not sure what they are going to do with someone like Wilmer Flores, who is having a great year in Vegas and knows how to play 3rd, but just inserting Justin Turner, no matter how much he's the man, isn't really the way to go. If lackluster offense and shoddy defense continue, and we keep losing against Colorado this week (who, by the way, is on an 8-game winning streak at Citi Field) then all of us calling for Wilmer Flores (or SOMETHING) other than reorganizing the current player board are right.

Wait a sec...

We're still right, regardless of lackluster offense and shoddy defense, and losses.


Anyway, this morning, I will have the privilege of interviewing a legend of this National League town, Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine, aka "Oisk," on the first Bedford & Sullivan podcast of a podcast doubleheader. We'll discuss items such as growing up in Anderson, Indiana, stories from the streets of Bay Ridge, and his relationship with Jackie Robinson.

Tune in at 9:30AM EST.

Then later today, at 5:30PM EST, San Francisco State University Professor Svein Arber will call in and discuss his life growing up in Brooklyn USA.

Quite the Research Monday for the Bedford & Sullivan project.

Enjoy the Metsian off-day, everyone.

The Pity Party

Before the last 2 losses, we discussed on the Rising Apple Report a bit about Matt Harvey and how everybody around much feel this extra pressure to perform for him.

You got the opposition getting geared up to face the kid, the pitcher especially upping his game.

You got the offense pressing.

You got Matt Harvey feeling no margin for error.

Yesterday pretty much summed up Matt Harvey's season, and the way the Mets produce around him. I don't know what the number of people left on base was, but I know it was outlandish by the 3rd inning alone. 


Anyway, that same Rising Apple Report I mentioned can be found below...

And also, today at 9:30AM EST, Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine, aka "Oisk," will be a very special guest on the Bedford & Sullivan podcast at 9:30AM EST.

So there's that...

Anyway, enjoy your Friday, folks.

LET'S. GO. METS.
