Is the wind out of the Mets sail for good this year?

Are you excited for the final month of baseball, Mets’ fans? Clearly that’s a rhetorical question. With the Mets dropping six of their last seven games, the grittiness and fight that this team displayed shortly after the All-Star break, all but seems to have dissipated.

David Aardsma: A valuable commodity

Whether he stays with the Mets for the duration of the season (perhaps maybe even beyond) or being part of deal to bring in some prospects, David Aardsma has once again become a valued commodity in the major leagues. Aardsma put together another fine outing in the Mets’ 13-8 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on [...]
