@AdamRubinESPN Wheeler is another OVERRATED Met prospect — Chris #KNICKSTAPE (@ChrisNYG) July 25, 2013 Maybe Zack Wheeler is the next Mike Pelfrey... #EW — Francisco Sarceño (@Frank_Guate) July 6, 2013 Putting this on the record in the Twitterverse, Zack Wheeler will be Mets' Phil Hughes. Lots of hype/potential but won't live up to it [...]
Dice-K turns in his third straight clunker, once again burning out the bullpen and annoying the fans.
These past two weeks have been tough for Mets fans. Two weeks ago we learned that that both Jeremy Hefner and Jenrry Mejia were not going to be pitching again this season. This past week, we found out that Matt Harvey, the most exciting story this season, went down with a torn UCL. Harvey’s future [...]
In case you hadn't heard, the New York Mets will probably not be making the postseason for the seventh year in a row. That's particularly painful considering that the rebuild didn't really start in earnest until the 2011 season. The future does look bright for the franchise, devastating-Matt-Harvey-injury aside. You need look no further than [...]
It’s sad to see our Ace get hit with an injury the year before the Mets were “Ready to Compete” but… if you think about it, it could have been worse. Imagine if we had traded Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler for offensive help (Like Giancarlo Stanton or Carlos Gonzalez) in the offseason and Harvey [...]
Ok, so the loss of Matt Harvey goes pretty deep. The last time I had a reaction like that was back on July 30, 2004, when the Mets dealt Scott Kazmir to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for Victor Zambrano and Bartolome Fortunato. I have to say, though, that the team’s reactions and the articles [...]
Well, it seems all but apparent that Bobby Parnell’s fine season will be coming to an end this month. According to MetsBlog, Parnell is not even close to resuming any baseball-related activities. Parnell was placed on the DL on August 6 with a neck injury. He had an epidural shot to alleviate the pain, but [...]
On Thursday, Anthony Recker made his first start since being recalled from Las Vegas. He went 1-for-2 with a HR and 2 BB and he did a fine job working behind the plate with Carlos Torres. The Mets had a laugher, as they downed the Phillies, 11-3, to earn a split of the four-game series. [...]
Reading Charlie Hangley’s piece on this season seemingly turning into 1978 before our eyes made me wonder about lean eras in Met history. Some say this is a bit masochistic of a topic, but the reasons behind the logic of it are worth pondering. So the case can be made that the “lean eras” since [...]
“Bring your kids to see our kids!” So went the lame entreaty from the Mets to bring your kiddies, bring your wife out to the ol’ ballpark: Shea Stadium, 1978 vintage. The fossil front office tried to drum up interest in a whole new crop of Mets. In the absence of Tom Seaver, Dave Kingman, [...]
Are you excited for the final month of baseball, Mets’ fans? Clearly that’s a rhetorical question. With the Mets dropping six of their last seven games, the grittiness and fight that this team displayed shortly after the All-Star break, all but seems to have dissipated. The air has been let out of the balloon as [...]
After hearing the worst news that the Mets fan base could hear twice in one month: David Wright and Matt Harvey have possible extended injuries, every Met fan was up in arms about how the future in queens would look next season. After losing five consecutive games, I started to wonder why I even bothered [...]
