The Mets' season might be over, but a new manager and individual performances signal hope for 2027. Plus, we pay tribute to Howie Rose's career, celebrate our fantasy teams making the postseason, and reminisce about attending historic games of the past.

Apologies to our Mets fan listeners -- this episode is Yankees-heavy! Our friend and lifelong Yankees fanatic Tom Caraccio visits the Dugout to share Yankees insights and heartfelt anecdotes while we anticipate the return of Judge. Do not fear, we also discuss why the Mets are allowed to be so unserious now. Plus, we debrief the trade deadline and pay our respects to Tommy John.

Glen Cove's own John "Zozo" Zozzaro -- whose rabid Mets fandom is known second only to his pizza -- visits the Donaldson Dugout to wait for trade news with our hosts... with 28 minutes left until the deadline. The Yankees disappoint, the Mets are still bad, and endless anecdotes ensue. Plus, we finally get to discuss the history of Curt Flood and his case for Free Agency.
