Episode 155: World Series Game 4 Recap Oct 31, 2015

Show notes

"The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor." - Albert Camus Look, you know what's coming in this episode. You can probably guess what we are going to discuss. Whether you choose to listen or not is up to you. Whatever. We'll understand if you don't. This wasn't some Mets/Marlins extra-inning disaster from 2013 Jeffrey and Greg can bitterly, but still bemusedly joke about. This was something else entirely.

Episode 154: World Series Game 3 Recap: That was fun, do it three more times Oct 30, 2015

Show notes

In our Game 3 World Series recap, Jeffrey and Greg are exuberant after the Mets win over the Royals at Citi Field. We also might be loud because we tried to record on podcast on Jeffrey's phone on the way back to the 7 train. Greg is in love with David Wright, Jeffrey is confused by Ned Yost, The Mets are back in the World Series, and we are all back in the New York Groove. The lesson is you should always listen to Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Episode 153: WELP Oct 28, 2015

Show notes

In Episode 153 Jeffrey and Chris try to make sense of the first two games of the World Series. It's hard, because we are very tired, and the Mets have been kinda bad. We review the bizarre oddities of Game 1, the depressing thrashing in Game 2, and try and figure out a way back into the series for the New York Mets.

Episode 152: World Series (?!) Preview Oct 26, 2015

Show notes

In the first ever Amazin' Avenue Audio World Series preview Jeffrey and Greg are confused and terrified. This was true before every other Mets playoff series though, so a good omen perhaps? We discuss the Mets playoff rotation, how confident we are in the Mets bullpen, and who on the Royals scares us the most. Next, Andy McCullough, who you may remember from appearances on such podcasts as this one, joins the show to delve further in depth on the Mets World Series opponent. Then, David Roth is back to talk about Pat Misch, Alay Soler, and other non-World-Series playing Mets we have known. Finally we wrap things up with your emails. It's just like a regular podcast, except the Mets are about to play in the World Series ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod.

Episode 151: NLCS Game 4: So this happened Oct 21, 2015

Show notes

In Episode 151 of Amazin' Avenue AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (so that happened, Jeffrey, Greg, and Steve try to talk about it coherently. They mostly succeed we think. On the agenda: The 2015 National League Champion New York Mets are your 2015 National League Champions. They don't have great merchandise, but they do have Daniel Murphy, who is hotter than the rapidly expanding universe after the Big Bang which also resembles the speed and trajectory of all his crazy dingers.)

Episode 150: NLCS Game 3: "I have no frame of reference for what comes next" Oct 20, 2015

Show notes

It's another milestone episode for Amazin' Avenue Audio! Seems like this one came around quickly. Maybe because we are doing podcasts after every playoff game and THE METS KEEP PLAYING PLAYOFF GAMES YOU GUYS. This one was similar to the previous two. Good pitching, scrappy runs, Daniel Murphy dongs, DANZA KUDURO, and the Familia fist pumps. What happens next? We have no idea. This is crazy. We also answer your e-mails about what pro wrestler we would like to curse us out on Twitter because it is that kind of night (the kind of night where the Mets are up 3-0 in the NLCS to be specific).

Episode 149: NLCS Game 2: Thorrrrrrrrrrrr dot mpeg Oct 19, 2015

Show notes

In episode 149 of Amazin' Avenue Audio, Jeffrey and Steve recap the Mets Game Two win over the Cubs in the NLCS. We've run out of things to say about Daniel Murphy, and we can't say it any better than Pedro when it comes to Noah Syndergaard, so we just end up exchanging recipe ideas by the end of the show. Though there is some (more) real talk about our emotional state as it relates to the 2015 Mets for those of you that (rightfully) demand actual Mets content in your Mets podcasts.

Episode 148: NLCS Game 1: The Dark Knight: Master Ace Oct 18, 2015

Show notes

The Mets won Game 1 of the NLCS behind a sterling performance by Matt Harvey, and Jeffrey and Steve are hear to talk about it in Episode 148 of Amazin' Avenue Audio. Not at the bar where they were watching the game (Jeffrey's phone died), but several hours later when we were all very sleepy. "Let's do it in ten minutes" was the off-air directive, so of course enjoy thirty minutes of discussion on Harvey shoving, Familia freezing, Murph murphing, Beltran playoff stat reading, and general incoherent babbling. Up the Night Owls!

Episode 147: NLDS Game 5: Explicit tag warning Oct 15, 2015

Show notes

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's measured, reasoned review of NLDS Game 5, Jeffrey, Greg, and Steve consider the big questions? Like is Jacob deGrom a "big game pitcher?" Is Noah Syndergaard a "Big game pitcher?" Is Jerurys Familia a "big game pitcher?" Have we reached peak Daniel Murphy? And what do we think of the Chicago Cubs? There's also some great NYC ambient sound because Greg decided to walk his dog during the pod.

Episode 146: NLDS Game 4: And to tell the truth, oh this could be the last time Oct 15, 2015

Show notes

In Amazin' Avenue Audio's NLDS Game 4 recap, well, things didn't go to Terry Collins (also our) plan, so the Mets are headed out West for a do or die Game 5, whch hopefully won't be as crazy as Blue Jays/Rangers. We tip out hat to Clayton Kershaw (though we wish he could have waited another year to smash some #narrative) and talk about how we are coping with the impending Game 5. Fortunaely the Mets have one bad hombre on the mound. Next, we answer your e-mails about America's favorite shorstops and suitable punishments for Chase Utley. Finally, we wrap things up with a slightly concerning IFK Goteborg update.
