It’s July and the Mets are in last place. Anyone who said they saw that coming at the start of the season is full of it. But regardless of the insanity of it all, now’s the time to deal with the reality of the situation. And last place teams in July better be rebuilding or [...]
We’re all trying to make sense of how the Mets are in the position that they are today. Everyone has their theories and one that refuses to die is that the farm system has been bad in the past, bad in the present and bad in the future. Let’s take a look at the guys [...]

It’s hard to be a Mets fan right now. For the second year in a row we’ve entered the season with high hopes only to see poor play and injuries sabotage the season. Many of you have made a completely rational decision – stop watching. Where have you gone, Metsense? We so need your rational [...]

Innings eater Jason Vargas again failed to go more than five innings. He was given a 1-0 lead but allowed solo runs in the second, third and fourth [...]
There are things in life that are just hard to explain. Why does any company hold an online naming contest after Boaty McBoatface won? How does a 10 year old yodeling in Wal-Mart become a music sensation? What does the lower middle class find so appealing about authoritarianism? When will the Mets keep their stars [...]
