Brian Wright talked about his new book "Mets in 10s: Best and Worst of an Amazin' History" and Roger and the other Brian made their 2018 Mets Over/Under predictions!

First Brian and Roger talked about Keith Hernandez joining Twitter (04:00) of course. Then they went over how they thought Steven Matz looked and Mickey Callaway's decisions after the first Mets series of the season (13:00), and the potential outfield logjam once Michael Conforto returns (27:15).

Then the boys invited a second Brian onto the show for the first time in history. Brian Wright talked about his cool new book "Mets in 10s", specifically: how his anger at Chase Utley influenced him (42:00), how he got Jerry Koosman to write the forward (44:00), how he became a Mets fan(48:00), fighting anti-recency bias when compiling Mets top 10 lists (51:00), the hardest top 10 list to compile (55:30), and keeping all of the "anguish"ing lists in one section (01:00:00).

After that, the boys got their 2018 over/unders (01:04:00). Early on, Brian remembered to update the METCON level (01:05:00).

You can pre-order Brian Wright's book 'Mets in 10s: Best and Worst of an Amazin' History' on the Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and probably elsewhere.
