Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, Episode 237: Dead Cat Bounce?
Yesterday00:45:17Tap to summarizeWelcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. Brian and Chris convene to talk about a surprisingly good week of Mets' baseball. However, the huge gap between the Mets and the rest of the Wild Card teams means that, despite playing much, much better, things are still looking fairly bleak for the club. Discussions include Ryan Clifford's all of nothing approach, the injury to Mark Vientos, and Juan Soto's sole All-Star appointment.
