0:00.0	The last home series of the year last year against the Phillies, that's the first time in a few years that we had heard the stadium feel like a party.
0:10.2	And that continued through the postseason.
0:12.0	But the nice thing about it is that even, you know, with some bad April weather and even on weeknights, now we're getting the kinds of crowds that we're used to getting in those
0:24.4	late season, postseason situations.
0:35.1	What's up, everybody?
0:36.3	Welcome to the Metspot presented by Tri-State Cadillac. Spring is the season for new beginnings, and it's the best time to get behind the wheel of a sophisticated new Cadillac SUV. Visit your tri-state Cadillac dealer today. I'm your host, Connor Rogers, joined as always by my co-host, Joe DeMayo, and happy for the return to the Mets Pod of Gary Cohen.
0:55.3	Gary, thanks so much for jumping back on. How are you doing?

1:45.1	thing about it is that even, you know, with some bad April weather and even on weeknights,
1:50.3	now we're getting the kinds of crowds that we're used to getting in those late season,
