A breakdown of the questions and answers from our Thursday poll.
I was going through some old game programs and I came across one that stands out in particular. It was a doubleheader; the Mets against the Chicago Cubs on July 29, 1984. Here’s the story: I was able to obtain two Press Box seats to this game before the season even started through the Long [...]
The regular season is getting closer every day and the Mets don’t seem to be moving in the right direction, at the major league level. I can’t think about the failings at first base and shortstop anymore, it’s time to dive into the minors. The Met minor leagues are still on the rise and there [...]
Opening day is 10 days away. The anticipation for that first pitch is rising and we’re all ready to settle in for seven more months of baseball. With that in mind, it’s time to see where this team stands in general as we countdown to opening day. So, here’s what I see as being the [...]
Justin Turner truly defined what a utility player actually could be last year. He played 23 games at third base, 18 games at shortstop, 15 games at first base, and 12 games at second base. He didn’t have as many at bats as in previous years, 200 AB, but he still managed to hit .280 [...]

As expected, it didn’t go over to well with the media and with the public. Columnists, reports and fans laughed at the [...]
For Mets fans, the majority of the offseason was spent talking trade rumors. Names were thrown out on the trade block such as Ike Davis, Lucas Duda, Daniel Murphy, and Ruben Tejada. Right now, the Mets seem to be happy with Murphy, and content with the Davis/Duda/Josh Satin platoon. But Ruben Tejada still seems to [...]
In these days to be an oddity, be hunted down like a scarcity...
Since 2011, Sandy Alderson has received a ton of heat for his picks in the first round of the draft (excluding 2013). Many criticize his willingness to pick players that have high risk in high school. Some fail to realize that the draft is a huge risk in and of itself and just because a [...]
The final two weeks of spring training are crucial for every team. This is when we start to see fewer split-squad games. This is when we see regular lineups on a regular basis. This is when pitchers are fully “stretched out,” in the modern parlance – close to any pitch count or innings limit. This [...]
