I’m pretty overwhelmed at the outpouring of support for last night’s final edition of The Alternate Side. It’s incredible to see how impactful the show was for so many people and I’m honored to have fostered that connection. Humbled and grateful…

Coming up at 9p, it’s the last ride for The Alternate Side. I’ve got all kinds of feels right now so it would be great if you could join me to help sort through them all. Hit me up if you have a request and I’ll see you at 9p on @wfuv.bsky.social.

After more than a decade on Friday nights (with earlier incarnations dating back to 2008) The Alternate Side is coming to an end. It’s been an incredible ride, and I’m honored to have been part of TAS for the past 15+ years. (1/3)

Simply put, the Mets played themselves out of the playoffs. They absolutely must address what went wrong and what improvements need to be made to fix it. It’s gonna be a really long offseason for the players who will be back. But… I still love them. #LGM
