From Complex To Queens, Episode 148: Merry Metsmas Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

Premio sausages roasting on an open fire

Jim Beam nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Mr. Met

Everybody knows the G.O.A.T. and some

No-nos help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Sandy’s on his way

He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies

On his sleigh

And every mother’s

Child is gonna spy to see if

Reyes really know how to fly

And so, I’m offering this

Simple phrase to kids from

One to ninety-two

Although it’s been said many times

Many ways

“Merry Metsmas to you”

Until next week, #lovethemets #lovethemets!

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 110: APOTO Cookie Club 2021 Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

This week, we went live on the Amazin’ Avenue Facebook page to eat cookies and talk about all things Mets. We talked about the Mets’ major signings this offseason—Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha, Starling Marte, and Max Scherzer—and our excitement that Steve Cohen has opened his large purse (perhaps thanks in part to Steven Matz’s agent).

We also discuss the Mets’ new manager Buck Showalter and what we think of the hire.

In the second half of the show, we discussed recent reporting from the Washington Post about sexual assault allegations against Yasiel Puig that were kept hidden for years as MLB allowed him to continue playing.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.
