Welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Beat.

Welcome to the Fantasy Baseball Beat part of the Pitcher List Podcast Network.

Thank you so much for joining us.

My name is Torres. I'll be your host today.

On today's episode, we'll be joined by a special guest.

We have Laura Albany's New York Mets beatwriter for Newsday, and also the co-host of the first-time listener, longtime caller podcast.

She'll be with us talking all things, New York Mets.

We'll get her take on the Mets recent losing streak,

Francisco Lindora's struggles, Nolan McClain's debut, Juan Soto's first season in Queens,

and much, much more. I'm also joined by my co-host, Mike and Dave. We'll hear from them shortly.

But without further ado,

let's bring in Laura. This is her, I believe, her third time on the podcast. So we are so appreciative of her being so gracious with her time. Laura, welcome back. How are you doing? I'm doing fairly well.

I'm pretty sure I've cursed the Mets, but other than that,

things are fun. Well, I'm glad, you know, you made that revelation before we went on. So,

you know, for all the Mets fans listening, send all of your hate mail to Laura, and you could

provide your direct email later in the show, because apparently once Laura

officially became part of the Mets beat, that's when things have fallen apart for this team.

So at least we now, everybody's been asking, what's going on with this team?

What's going on with this team?

Well, now we know.

So thank you for taking the onus

here absolutely please send glitter bombs glitter bombs i hate vacuuming so that's the way you get me
