The Mets host the Yankees tonight. Your intrepid columnist is making his third pilgrimage of the year and he can only wonder what will greet him when he gets there. The first three games of this series have been more on the bizzarro side than anyone could have envisioned. First of all, the Mets – [...]
Late Wednesday night the Mets cut ties with Kyle Farnsworth, saving the remainder of his contract and earning the ire of the veteran reliever. The Mets are off the hook for the rest of his $1 million contract. What they did was perfectly within their rights but it seems like nothing more than a financially-motivated, [...]
Zack Wheeler isn’t having the best start to his season and some fans are panicking about his development at the big league level. The biggest problem has been Wheeler’s command. And that problem was on display last night against the Yankees. He walked six batters over the course of his start and it took him [...]
The Mets have been in a slip as of late, but there is still hope for them to pick themselves up and compete within the division. Entering the Subway Series, the Mets were 17-19 and they were scoring very few runs. But they were able to beat the Yankees in an amazing game one, and [...]

It was originally thought that since Mejia had pitched only three days prior, that he would only be expected to come in and get Alfonso Soriano out, which he did in splendid fashion on only three pitches. However, Mejia [...]
If I were in the Mets marketing department I’d be contacting Tom Hiddleston and Marvel Studios about teaming up on some advertising for the Asgardian hero who will shortly arrive in Queens. We’ve all heard about Noah Syndergaard, time and time again, but he’s starting to look worthy of Mjolnir. For those who don’t pay [...]
