Talk about a pick-me up! After an uninspiring first-game effort against the Dodgers on Tuesday and then failing to do much in Matt Harvey’s so-so start(at least by Harvey standards) to begin Wednesday night’s affair, the Mets appeared on the verge of dropping their second straight game to the Dodgers. The Mets were listless offensively [...]
Scott Atchison looks out of place on a 21st Century team. He looks old. I mean no disrespect when I say that – yet he looks much older than his actual age of 37. He looks more like a guy you would see gracing a baseball card from the 1950s or 1960s. He has a [...]

Longtime Mets beat writer Adam Rubin of ESPN tells us today that the Mets will be promoting outfielder Juan Lagares from Las Vegas in the very near term. Lagares is currently “tearing up the Pacific Coast League,” according to Rubin. Apparently, Lagares’s fine numbers have little to do with the PCL-is-a-hitter’s-league meme, since his form, [...]

Coming into Sunday’s matchup with the Nationals, Davis owned a .161/.254/.321 slash line and was striking out in 28.6% [...]
The headline sounds like a broken record to Mets fans, and may be a bit kind. The small sample size rule is in play of course, since the season is less than a month old, but so far in 2013 the Mets bullpen has not been very good. The bullpen has a record of 2-2 [...]
This past week, rumors leaked that Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson was considering pursuing Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton. The reports were that a package to get Stanton would likely include highly touted Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler and catcher Travis d’Arnaud.

Matt Harvey was the star of the show last night, as he pitched an outstanding game leading the Mets to a win over Stephen Strasburg. But clearly the other story line of the game was the Mets getting two home runs apiece from their lefty power hitters Ike Davis and Lucas Duda. It was the [...]
