Matt Harvey's career has had more ups and downs than a drunk kangaroo. As a summer time call up in 2012, Harvey started 10 games for the struggling team and gave fans a taste of their future ace with impressive mound presence, pitch repertoire, and some gaudy stats (70 Ks and 42 hits in 59 innings). [...]
The Mets won their first ever game at Sun Trust Park and it was a team effort. The team finally made Julio Teheran look human, jumping out to an early lead on a Michael Conforto solo home run, before lighting him up in the 4th inning. Ten Mets batters got up in the fourth contributing [...]
Whew! We really, really needed that win. Prior to the game, Terry Collins spoke about a sense of urgency, and it sure felt more like a September playoff push game than an April contest. But after lousy play, lousy weather, and lousy injuries dropped this team to last place, Collins wasn't going to stand for [...]
You know what this Mets team could really use? A leadoff hitter. Our three in-house options - Jose Reyes, Curtis Granderson, and Juan Lagares - have been woefully ineffective thus far this season. At the time of this writing, all three are batting well under .200 with Granderson leading this hopeless trifecta with an OBP [...]
"Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains." Crash Davis was a wise man. But while, a manmade rain out helped the Durham Bulls catch a break, this Mother Nature variety might not be as good for the Mets as it seems. On the surface, an extra day off gives Yoenis Cespedes, Travis d'Arnaud [...]
Our leadoff hitter is not getting on base. Nor is our second best option. Our lineup has no speed. Our power hitters are streaky and slump prone. While we sit around waiting for a 3-run home run, we're losing too many games. Simply put, we're not consistently putting up enough runs to support our pitching [...]
The movie title that best sums up this game is "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." There was plenty of good despite the loss dropping us back to .500. Noah Syndergaard pitched his butt off, striking out 10 in gutty 7-inning, 114-pitch outing. Neil Walker golfed a low curve ball for a 3-run home [...]
The Mets are on a four-game streak and it's not a good one. For the fourth straight game the Mets not only lost to a division rival, but they wasted a strong start, failed to hit much, and were undone by a shaky bullpen. For good measure, they threw in a few costly errors as [...]
Entering this current series, the Mets hold an edge over the Marlins, with an all-time record of 209-189. However, you probably would not have guessed that given how much of a pain in the ass this young organization has been for us since they were born in 1993. Back in their inaugural season, the Mets [...]
Based on the comments posted on this site, most of you are biased Mets fans. That is to say that none of you are realistic. A few of you optimistically see everything falling into place and the Mets win 110 games en route to their third World Series. A few others have had their hearts [...]
Over the course of a 162-game season, the first 25 games can make a big difference. The first month of six sets the tone, particular this coming season for the Mets, when the league has made all eight series against NL East rivals. For three straight years now the Mets have gotten off to strong [...]
From the rotation to the bullpen, to reserves in Las Vegas, this is shaping up to be the deepest Mets pitching staff in a very long time. Regardless of which 12 or 13 guys make the opening day roster, the number of available arms runs about 20 deep. Assuming health, the rotation will begin with [...]
