Thanks to the courage of Travis Dermott, and the ineptitude of the NHL, the ban lasted not even a single game and now players can do as they please (with regards to their stick tape) yet again. ...

Flushing is Burning: Ramble On

October 26, 2023 15:22 - 51 minutes

Flushing is Burning: Don't Say Gay (Tape)

October 20, 2023 13:37 - 50 minutes

In the midst of the playoffs there's no Mets news, so Grace pivots to general baseball coverage and talks about the playoffs to this point. Two LCS's with stories on the road to them, and how the teams stack up. Grace also has a (somewhat) shameful admission about the 2023 Phillies, so try not to get too worked up about it.

Flushing is Burning, Episode 24: The Mets will never be normal

October 11, 2023 02:51 - 59 minutes

Grace anticipated a light week of Mets news, but she forgot that the Mets have always been deranged. There's a "leak" (wonder who from) about infighting between Buck Showalter and Eppler, Eppler's bizarre resignation and investigation, and even some Pete Alonso rumors! Then, after the first full week of the playoffs, Grace has some thoughts! Wild Card series discourse, which teams look good, which teams looked bad, which teams needed more pitching (exactly who you're thinking). Finally, playo...
