Bartolo Colon won six of his first seven decisions and we had visions of 2013 dancing in our head. Unfortunately, things didn’t remain this rosy the rest of the year. Of course, six of those first seven games were against NL East clubs and the seventh was a home game against an Orioles squad that [...]
The Mets thought they had something special when they drafted Steven Matz back in 2009. But because of injuries, he didn’t make it onto a mound for his professional debut until 2012. His number were good in both 2012 and 2013 but he didn’t pitch a ton of innings in either season, plus he was [...]

The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds. As usual, Casey Stengel knew what he was talking about. But here in 2016 with the New York Mets, it’s a fair question to ask if anyone on the team [...]
It was a weird year for Lucas Duda in 2015. Everyone wondered if he could duplicate the power he showed in 2014 and there were also concerns about his ability to hit lefties. So, Duda went out and again put up strong power numbers with a team-leading 27 homers. And he also hit lefties to [...]
