The only thing that matters are the games that they play in the majors in real life. Some people are stars and would be stars if we had the ability to play major league seasons like computer situations, bursting through 100s or 1000s at a time. In 1,000 of these simulated seasons, Tom Seaver would [...]
The Mets broke out the broom in a big way, piling up 22 hits en route to a 14-3 win over the Cubs Sunday and a sweep of the four-game series. Wilmer Flores tied a club record with six hits, including two home runs. He started the game batting .224 and finishes it with a [...]
For the fifth time in their history, a Mets manager will pilot the NL All-Stars at the midsummer classic. Sure, the All-Star game doesn’t have quite the allure that it once had, with an interleague game virtually every day. Still, it’s nice to see the All-Star banner on a player’s Baseball-Reference page and it’s nice [...]
The Mets defeated the Cubs tonight at Citi Field 4-3, and have taken the first three games of this four-game series. What is there to say about Bartolo Colon, really?

If you like rain and homers, this game was for you! There were three separate rain delays totaling two hours and six homers, five of them by the Mets, who jumped on top early and cruised to a 10-2 win Friday. There were many stars in the game but the best story was Brandon Nimmo, [...]
There were a ton of Debbie Downer posts and comments from disheartened Mets fans this week. As Bluto said, "Nothing is over until we say it is!" It's been an ugly month of baseball with injuries, slumps, and losses, but it's a long season and it's only half over. Let's get a grip here. There's [...]
After a demoralizing sweep in Washington, the Mets came home to face the Cubs, who most pundits have going to the World Series. After falling behind early, the Mets rallied to take the lead and survived threats in both the eighth and ninth innings to escape with a 4-3 win Thursday night. Brandon Nimmo played [...]
