Even without Matt Harvey, the New York Mets have themselves a fine rotation with Zack Wheeler, Jon Niese, Dillon Gee and free-agent newcomer Bartolo Colon set to anchor the staff. However, one question mark that remains is who will grab hold of the fifth spot? Terry Collins has publicly stated that he would like to [...]
While the New York Mets were making some splashes this offseason with the additions of Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon—and to some degree Chris Young—it’s going to be some of the holdovers from the 2013 squad that may hold the key to success in 2014. One such player that could hold the key as to whether [...]
After just seeing the Boston Red Sox win the World Series and going from worst to first in the process, a lot of Mets fans are clamoring for a similar type of turnaround. While it’s a bit of a stretch for the Mets to compete for a championship next year, they can infinitely get better [...]
Well, we have come to the end of another long, grueling and agonizing season for our beloved New York Mets. Between glimpses of greatness from Matt Harvey (storming out of the gate and starting the All Star Game) and the agony of his season-ending (and perhaps longer) injury, the Mets have not had much to [...]
After a dreadful beginning with the Mets, Daisuke Matsuzaka has pitched fabulously over his last four starts, posting a 3-0 record while recording a quality outing in each of last three starts (only missing a quality outing by one/third of an inning in the start before this stretch). Matsuzaka was simply dominant in the Mets’ [...]
With his first inning two-run home run off Cole Hamels on Friday night, David Wright emphatically stated he was back. After missing nearly seven weeks with a strained hamstring, Wright returned to the lineup on Friday against the Phillies, assuring he will suit up for the next ten games. The newly-minted captain, didn’t want to [...]
What can the Mets expect from their recent batch of September call-ups and do they have a future with the Mets?
To say that Travis d’Arnaud has struggled in his debut with the Mets, well, that would be a massive understatement. After another o-for on Friday night, d’Arnaud is now sporting a pathetic .145/.221/.217 slash line to go with just one home run and three RBI’s (in 69 at-bats). After the Mets traded away John Buck [...]
After being shut out for the second time in three days to the Washington Nationals (and only registering 13 hits in the three games against them thus far), the Mets are limping—all bandaged and wounded—to the finish line. The spirit has been sapped out of this club, and a team could only take so much [...]
In a season in which has been defined by injuries, nonperformance and general malaise, Daniel Murphy has been a constant the Mets can count on each and every day, but will that be enough for him to welcomed back in 2014?
One man’s pain is another man’s game. With Ike Davis likely being shelved for the rest of the year with an oblique strain, it now opens the door for Lucas Duda to reassert himself with the Mets. For those rallying around Duda to get his chance at first base—his “comfortable” position—you all got your wish. [...]
Well, it seems all but apparent that Bobby Parnell’s fine season will be coming to an end this month. According to MetsBlog, Parnell is not even close to resuming any baseball-related activities. Parnell was placed on the DL on August 6 with a neck injury. He had an epidural shot to alleviate the pain, but [...]
