One of the great things about baseball is that the season is six months long. There are peaks and valleys every year. No team is out of it after the first series of the year. In 2005, the Mets went 0-5 to start the season. It felt like they were playing uphill the whole rest [...]
The Mets’ offense was nowhere to be found for the second time in three games, as the Brewers complete the sweep with a 4-1 win Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. Tylor Megill got the start but was not especially sharp, as he consistently ran deep counts and dealt with baserunners all game. He needed 78 [...]
C'mon Megill - throw strikes Tyrone Taylor in CF Megill picks a runner off first! Narvaez with a CI Baty can't make a leaping grab and a run scores. Talkative Spirit Sun Mar 31 2:00 pm I was a kid and saw the ‘62 Mets lose their first 9 games on their way to a [...]
When Kodai Senga went down, it was natural to have Jose Quintana take the ball for the Mets on Opening Day. Not only was Quintana a veteran who pitched well when healthy last year, he was the only one of the remaining four initial pitchers in the rotation who played for the Mets in 2023. [...]
Luis Severino single-handedly tried to prove that Spring Training stats don’t matter, as he allowed 6 ER in 5 IP, putting the Mets in a big hole early. The Mets rallied late with the home run ball but came out on the short side of a 7-6 score Saturday afternoon against the Brewers at Citi [...]

While still hungover – figuratively – from N.C. State’s third NCAA win and eighth-straight victory, it dawned on me that today is the fifth Saturday of the month and no one was scheduled to write an article today. For me, these early-season articles are the toughest ones to write. What has happened that isn’t already [...]
It was too much Freddy Peralta, as he combined with three relievers to one-hit the Mets for the first time ever on Opening Day, leading the Brewers to a 3-1 win Friday afternoon at Citi Field. The Mets jumped on top early, as Starling Marte hit a homer to give the Mets a 1-0 lead. [...]
After finally reaching my goal of having more predictions right than wrong in 2022 – it was back to reality with the picks last year. While fewer than half right, there were six correct predictions, which is a solid score, given the self-imposed mandate to not make safe picks. But no one wants to read [...]
This time last year, the expectation of most was that the Mets were going to top 95 wins. That didn’t happen and this year those expectations are considerably lower. Here’s a sampling of views of the 2024 Mets from national sites: FanGraphs: 81-81 CBS Sports: 81-81 The Athletic: 80-82 USA Today: 78-84 Gambling site FanDuel [...]
