It's been a rough week to be a Mets fan. If you've been rooting for this team as long as I have, deflating injuries, disappointing performances, and demoralizing losses are not unfamiliar. It wasn't long ago that we were riding high on the wave of a hot start. It may feel like the wheels are [...]
The Mets homestand continues with series against the Rockies and Reds. Can we get this season back on track?
The Mets nearly came up with another magical comeback, but their ninth inning rally came up just short. Try as he might, Yoenis Cespedes couldn't single handedly win this game for the Mets. The slugger, who was expected to miss three games with a finger injury, exploded for three hits, including a home run, and [...]
As well as the Mets have played in this first month of the season, this roster still has some issues related to injuries and underperformance. This team came to spring training better prepared for inevitable injuries and performance struggles than it has in years. The 40-man roster was stocked with Major League quality players instead [...]
Struggling sluggers Jay Bruce and Yoenis Cespedes sprang to life with two clutch long balls that propelled the Mets to a 6-5 win over the Cardinals in 10 innings. The Mets were down 4-1 until Cespedes' mammoth 3-run blast tied it up in the fifth inning. Bruce's two-out solo shot in the 10th gave the [...]
It took 12 innings, dueling bullpens, waiting out missed opportunities and overcoming a few umpire calls that didn't go their way, but the Mets prevailed 5-3 over the Atlanta Braves. The big hit came courtesy of a Yoenis Cespedes RBI single in the top of the 12th inning. The go-ahead run was scored by you'd-never-have-guessed it Robert Gsellman, [...]

Do the Mets really have an outfield logjam? The late blooming Brandon Nimmo has looked fantastic this season and really seems to be rounding into a strong player and a very effective leadoff hitter. Problem is, the Mets have three clear starting outfielders in Yoenis Cespedes, Jay Bruce and Michael Conforto, not to mention a [...]
Just as the Mets almost let one get away, Wilmer Flores saved the day with another signature walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Citi Field faithful erupted in applause, the team stormed out of the dugout to celebrate, and a certain blogger jumped out of his seat and screamed so [...]
There's a new sheriff in town and a whole new direction and vibe with this team. While many of the players may be the same from the past few seasons, this is a very different team than we saw the past few seasons and, so far, it's all for the better. Although the Mets red [...]
All good things must come to an end, but not just yet. In what appeared to be an impending end to their early season win streak, the Mets refused to lose, topping the Marlins 8-6 with a fantastic comeback. Jacob deGrom looked terrific for four innings and the Mets jumped out to an early 3-0 [...]
Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson certainly had an active off-season. By most accounts, his free agent signings grade out as a B for filling all the obvious holes, but not reeling in any big fish. However, if you look at it from another angle, based on his likely motivation, you could easily grade him an [...]
