The Mets got a rare Sunday Night Baseball win, as they edged the Giants, 2-0, to split the four-game series. Noah Syndergaard looked in complete command, throwing his best game in ages. He threw eight shutout innings and looked ready to pitch the ninth, too. He had excellent command and was not plagued by countless [...]
In the last nine games, the Mets’ offense has sprung to life. Sure, some of that is due to the level of competition, as the Diamondbacks and Padres are two of the worst teams in the league. But in three games against the Giants, who are a playoff team, the Mets have banged out 37 [...]
The Mets defeated the Giants this afternoon in San Francisco 9-5, snapping a three-game losing streak. Bartolo Colon started this one and provided the Mets with 6.1 solid innings.

Entering this season, we all envisioned Michael Conforto as a fixture in the lineup and a budding star who would take the baton from David Wright as our franchise hitter. As a top prospect out of Oregon State University, Conforto was a sweet swinging outfielder with a legendary work ethic. In 2014 the Mets seemed [...]
The 2016 season is hurtling toward its inevitable conclusion. For three and a half months, the Mets have looked old, lethargic and inept. A 45-52 record – as of this writing – since May 1 will do that to you, never minding the fact that their projected starting lineup has not been on the field [...]
