We’re back! Sort of! It’s been a few weeks since we’ve gotten together to do a “studio” recording, and with Allison still finishing up her move and Colleen’s computer borked, it was just Addy and Jesse left to bask in the Mets’ sudden return to their early-season magic with their comeback in Cincinnati and Thursday night pounding of the Marlins.
We didn’t get back to it, but if you catch the “French YouTube” reference at the beginning of the show, it’s because we started recording and talking about a highlight of Ron Hunt, then with the Expos, breaking the major league HBP record. The clip includes Hunt saying, “I don’t think it was stupidity,” which gives us a fantastic French subtitle.
And, if you’re curious about that 1986 game in Cincinnati, yes, Jesse did tweet about it.
The entire recap of the game from 36 years ago is, of course, part of the 1986 video.
And, Chris Bassitt, man… c’mon. Like Addy said, you’re better than that. Or not.
