WGB #91: Happy Harvey Day

It's no secret that there was no love lost between the New York Mets and Matt Harvey when they parted ways. The one-time all-star had the city of Gotham eating out of the palm of his hand, but the brightest stars burn twice as fast. The guys reflect on the impact that Matt Harvey had on the franchise, what his starts meant during the dark ages of Mets fandom and how his fixation with celebrity ultimately did him in in the city that never sleeps. While KFC and Clem were happy with the way the fans treated him on his return, that doesn't erase any of the bs that he put us through during the final seasons of his stay. We break down the bench mob and how they may be the factor that leads the Mets to a postseason birth, try to figure out what the hell is going on with James McCann at the plate and relish in our stockpile of pitching that's shutting down the entire league. KFC asks the important question: just how good does Kelenic have to be for us to regret the Diaz trade and will the team's success based on saves erase any sour taste in our mouths? Also Clem draws a line in the sand for Frank the Tank. We know this podcast is called 'We Gotta Believe' and we tell you you have to believe, but does that apply to pessimistic Frank or are we just letting anyone jump on the bandwagon after a 7-game win streak? Clem has some strong feelings on the issue and the countdown clock has begun. If you chose to believe, we salute you. If you want to believe, you're welcome to it. But if you're still on the fence, figure it out because time's ticking and we're only getting stronger.
