It was a sister-kisser last week...
Hey, not sure if you’ve heard but the Mets are going to the NLCS. It’s a tremendous accomplishment for a team that most of us didn’t think would even make the playoffs, much less win two series once there. Sure, sure – your neighbor and your co-worker and half the guys at the bar will [...]
Francisco Lindor, who doubled in his previous AB, hit a grand slam home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to propel the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Phillies Wednesday at Citi Field. The victory gave the Mets the NLDS win and vaults them into the NLCS against either the Dodgers or [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Please use this space instead of going off topic on the most-recent thread.
Sean Manaea turned in a terrific start and the offense came alive, with nine hits and five walks. And that turned into a 7-2 win over the Phillies and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. The Mets can clinch tomorrow with Jose Quintana taking the mound in another 5:08 p.m. start. Pete Alonso gave [...]
So much has been made about the pitching moves of Carlos Mendoza and the performances of the relievers so far in both the Wild Card and the divisional series that the offense has avoided scrutiny. Which is a good thing for the hitters, who were MIA against the Brewers and depending on mostly two players [...]
These are the Comeback Kids! They are creating memories of a lifetime - seemingly on a daily basis. Here’s how crazy it’s been: my 18-year-old son called me from college to revel in the excitement. Not a text. A phone call. Amazing! Sept. 30, 2024 The Mets faced elimination from the playoffs unless they beat the Braves in Atlanta. In one of [...]

Here are some random notes as the Mets get ready for Game 2 of the NLDS * The Mets used 18 of the 26 players on their roster in Saturday’s win. And all 18 played some role, either big or small. Even Luisangel Acuna contributed a putout. * Much was made of how none of [...]
Ho-hum, another day, another late-inning comeback by the Mets. A five-run eighth inning, after they managed just one hit thru the first seven innings, led to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies in Game 1 of the NLDS Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. The Mets couldn’t do anything against Phillies starter Zack Wheeler. But he was [...]
Here's hoping the momentum from the last Phillies series carries over.
It’s a long way for a Mets team that just barely survived the Wild Card round to think about the World Series and who they might play. But just because the Mets can’t do it doesn’t mean that the fans can’t. And it’s hard not to notice that one of the ALDS series features the [...]
