Flushing is Burning: MateGate

Home Run Applesauce: A New York Mets podcast

Grace is back after a busy week for the Mets. They still haven't been great but they have been doing a lot. Jorge Lopez had a meltdown on the mound and then said some choice words after the game that got everybody in a tizzy. And the Mets made several roster moves, some expected, some not.

Then, Grace gets into the latest with sports betting scandals, as MLB had multiple players facing various suspensions of varying lengths for betting on sports, including baseball games. The ethics of this situation are very murky when the league itself has begun tying itself closer and closer with legal sportsbooks. And Grace also dives into the fourth annual Lou Gehrig Day and how, on most fronts, it was another disappointment for a league with the ability to do so much more.

Finally, it's Pride Month, so Grace themed her movie minute for the occasion. It's a double feature of two seminal lesbian films that changed the future of film and continue to be more modern than a lot of films made today.
