Over the remaining few weeks of July leading up to the trade deadline, the Mets have some big questions to answer. 1- What do we do when Lucas Duda comes back? James Loney has been solid and he can platoon with Wilmer Flores who's really come on strong of late. Do we plug Duda back [...]
Where's Fernando Tatis? Clearly this is 2009 because Jose Reyes is here and everyone keeps getting injured. As if the news weren't bleak enough with Matt Harvey shut down for the season for shoulder surgery, our best player and best pitcher both exited tonight's game with injuries. Yoenis Cespedes left with a quad sprain, hopefully [...]
The Mets entered July on quite a roll, winning 6 of their first 7 on this crucial home stand. With good news on Noah Syndergaard's and Steven Matz' elbows, continued excellence from Bartolo Colon and resurgence from Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom, the Mets were out-pitching everyone. Now that the bats were waking up, we [...]
Put it in the books! The Mets out-slugged the Nationals on a night when neither starting pitcher was effective and the ball seemed to fly out of Citi Field. Bartolo Colon coughed up six runs on 10 hits in less than five innings, but was equaled by the young phenom Lucas Giolito, who couldn't make [...]
Happy 4th of July, Mets fans! What a weekend we had. As if the four-game sweep over the league-leading Cubs wasn't enough, the Mets won a dramatic comeback game against the pesky Marlins. Matt Harvey continued to struggle and left in the top of the 4th inning with the Mets down 6-0. While the former [...]
There were a ton of Debbie Downer posts and comments from disheartened Mets fans this week. As Bluto said, "Nothing is over until we say it is!" It's been an ugly month of baseball with injuries, slumps, and losses, but it's a long season and it's only half over. Let's get a grip here. There's [...]
The good news is, June is almost over. This seems to be a killer month for this team. The bad news, well, there's quite a bit. We lost our third game in a row and the second game in a row to our division rivals. Our feeble offense was shut out yet again. When you [...]
As Mets fans we're all accustomed to disappointment, however it comes in unexpected ways. One example being our dominant ace pitcher Noah Syndergaard picking the biggest game of the season to have his first clunker of an outing. With a golden opportunity to gain ground against the NL East leading Nationals, Syndergaard was gifted a [...]
Being an MLB General Manager is a tough job, particular if it's for the NY Mets. Between the hyper active Big Apple media, the knowledgeable and rabid fan base, and the organization's history of melodrama, it's enough to keep a baseball executive up at night. Sandy Alderson, by most accounts, has done an admirable job, [...]
The Mets have a lot of positives to take away from this game, but managed to come up on the short end of a 4-3 loss. The culprit was a bad, fat plate pitch from Addison Reed in the 8th inning that gave Adonis Garcia a two-run homer and the Braves the lead for good. [...]
In a strange, but very rewarding game, the Mets rode the shoulders of a hard-working bullpen to gut out a 2-1 win over the World Series champion Royals at Citi Field. In a slight rejuggling of the rotation, Bartolo Colon switched places with Noah Syndergaard to make tonight's start. The burly right hander was knocked [...]
The Mets are starting to resemble a MASH unit, or at least the 2009 Mets - you know the team that relied on a late career Fernando Tatis to play every position but pitcher and catcher. It's getting hard to keep track as there are now more Mets regulars on the DL than there are [...]
