The Mets snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with a ninth inning comeback that provided a 5-3 win and a split of the four-game series in Arizona. The D’Backs scored a scratch run in the bottom of the eighth and it looked like another tough loss for the Mets. But Jose Reyes reached base [...]
Steven Matz allowed just one earned run over 6.2 IP in the Mets’ win Saturday night. It was the fourth Quality Start in the last five games for Matz. And the one outing where he didn’t register a QS in that span he was well on his way before being sidetracked by a blister problem. [...]
The Mets’ losing ways continued Thursday night, as they dropped a 6-3 decision to the Diamondbacks. The Mets have now lost 11 of their last 12 games. Innings eater Jason Vargas again failed to go more than five innings. He was given a 1-0 lead but allowed solo runs in the second, third and fourth [...]
There are things in life that are just hard to explain. Why does any company hold an online naming contest after Boaty McBoatface won? How does a 10 year old yodeling in Wal-Mart become a music sensation? What does the lower middle class find so appealing about authoritarianism? When will the Mets keep their stars [...]

Yesterday's just a memory Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
The Yankees rallied from a three-run deficit to claim a 4-3 win over the Mets Saturday night. It was the 10th straight home loss for the Mets, a Citi Field first. The game was tied 3-3 after six innings and the Mets went to their pen. While usually Mickey Callaway might come under fire for [...]
If you follow amateur baseball at all, you know more about the players selected in the draft than me. The best I can do is tell you that a guy who hit a triple and a homer for the Copperheads was taken by the Giants – in the 15th round. But hopefully what I’m lacking [...]
People who complain about three true outcome baseball should have to watch Wednesday’s Mets-Orioles game on a loop. Think walks, strikeouts and home runs are boring? Try watching a never-ending supply of groundouts and lazy fly balls. Oh well, to each his own. But as yawnstipating as yesterday’s game was, it did have one moment [...]
Well, Adrian Gonzalez has made it to June and he’s still in the majors, starting more often than not. Unfortunately, that says more about the Mets than it does about Gonzalez. We have the team’s preference for veterans, combined with potential first base replacements on the DL and their Triple-A first baseman floundering while performing [...]
The Cubs completed a four-game sweep of the Mets with a 2-0 win Sunday afternoon. It was the first time the Mets were swept at home in a four-game series in five years and it made the team’s record 3-11 in their last 14 games. Steven Matz deserved a better fate. He held the Cubs [...]
The Mets’ bullpen in 2017 was a disaster. From the Jeurys Familia suspension & injury to the Fernando Salas implosion from overuse to the homer happy ways of Hansel Robles there was a lot of disappointment from the team’s relievers. So, when the Mets traded away impending free agents in July and August, they prioritized [...]
