It is not very often that you have the opportunity to sit by the fire, snow falling out the window, and just deeply think about things for a while. It is more rare for that to happen in the month of May, even in Denver, Colorado. Yet, Billy Eppler finds his team snowed out of [...]
It’s often hard to get a read on a team this early in the season. The excitement of a new season always clouds the judgment of a team, since everyone is just happy to be watching the game as we transition from the harsh, cold winter into the warm spring time. This winter was a [...]
Well, he’s still out there. Following a down 2021 season in which afterwards he was expected to command a big-time salary, Michael Conforto still remains a free agent entering the 2022 season. With Freddie Freeman, Kris Bryant, and Kyle Schwarber off of the market, Conforto is one of the best names still available in free [...]
Terry Collins is by far the best manager that the New York Mets have had in the past decade. Taking a struggling team and developing the clubhouse mindset into a team that expected to be in contention each season, Collins was only second manager to lead the Mets into back to back post-season appearances. The [...]
After a long day at work on Thursday, and a drubbing to my Seton Hall Pirates brought on by a lowly DePaul squad, I needed something to take my mind off of the day. I turned to my biggest vice, the thing that is always able to pull me away from it all better than [...]
While the New York Mets can’t make partnerships with players currently due to the lockout, nothing’s stopping them from making new business partnerships. On Friday, it was announced that Samsung would become Citi Field’s official display and technology partner. Besides this just being a corporate partnership name and a billboard at the ballpark, this is [...]
Few things in life are guaranteed. Of those things, death, taxes, and the New York Mets Metsing a situation up are the three most likely to be guaranteed. After a wild 2021 season however, it is time to look past the Mets getting in their own way, both on and off the field, and to [...]
It was on my daily stationary bike ride when I saw the bottom line scroll across the bottom of ESPN: “Cardinals Fire Manager Mike Shildt.” My first instant reaction was one of disbelief and shock. How could the St. Louis Cardinals fire their manager after he led them on a 17-game winning streak? Sure, the [...]
As the season has winded down, and the New York Mets have slid as far as you can slide without being eliminated from playoff contention, Mets fans have been calling for the guillotine for Luis Rojas. Okay, maybe not the guillotine, but many want him kicked to the curb. For good reason as well. He [...]
As poor as the New York Mets offense has performed lately, there is also room to blame their performance on the mound. Each month of the season, their ERA has risen as the injury bug has bit fiercely. As Jacob deGrom looks to be heading to the shelf for the rest of the season, it [...]
Over the course of the four days that the New York Mets had in-between blowing a five-run lead on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and their game against the Pirates last night, a lot happened for them. The night of them blowing that large lead, a lead which if they would have held onto would [...]
Everyone loves a good bargain. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re shopping as an individual or as a team in Major League Baseball. In the past, especially in the post Bernie Madoff years, the New York Mets were known throughout the league as a team that consistently shopped down the bargain aisle. And whenever [...]
