One of the Mets’ perceived strengths heading into the 2013 season is the makeup and depth of their rotation. With the Mets expected to get consistent, reliable seasons from the likes of R.A. Dickey, Jonathon Niese and Matt Harvey, the health and reliability of Johan Santana could be the major wild card for success for [...]
The Mets need outfield help. You, I and the family pet all know this much. It’s so obviously evident, that the Mets should post a Craigslist ad asking for outfield help! One current Mets’ outfielder who stands a decent chance of cracking the starting rotation is Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Scott Hairston and Andres Torres are likely [...]
It’s only been a week since the Mets' 2012 season ended and Mets’ fans are already thinking of ways to upgrade the team for next season. For a team that stormed out of the gate this season but crashed and burned in the summer yet again, Mets’ fans want to correct a few wrongs and [...]
Looking through a vacuum, the Mets' 2012 season was pretty par for the course. Think about it. Nearly every pundit and prognosticator predicted the Mets to be an underwhelming bunch and almost all unanimously picked the Mets to finish last in the NL East. At least we beat out the Miami Reyes! So, for the [...]
How’s that for irony? Take that Larry! On the night when the Atlanta Braves honored their iconic hitter who defined their success from the 90’s through the turn of the century, it was the Mets who ultimately played spoiler on Chipper Jones’ big farewell night. It was only fitting that the Mets ruined the feel-good [...]
Today we could witness history, as R.A. Dickey attempts to become the first Mets’ pitcher to win 20 games since Frank Viola won 20 in 1990. Dickey is trying to close a chapter on a sensational season by recording the magic number for wins while also solidifying his chances to win the NL Cy Young [...]
With the season rapidly and mercilessly winding down, this very well could be the last 12 games we see Scott Hairston in a Mets’ uniform. For a season that has gone south with each agonizing moment begetting another one, one of the constants (specifically on offense) through all the turbulence this season has been the [...]
In a season with the Mets taking many punches to the gut, Wednesday’s night’s loss may have been the most difficult to absorb. Sure, the games don’t mean a whole lot now considering the Mets don’t have any playoff implications on the line, but on a night when Matt Harvey was masterful and with David [...]
There is no other way to sugarcoat it. The Mets appear to be stringing along the end of the season. While it was nice for the Mets to actually score some runs and play spoiler on Friday night by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3, the Mets are once again headed towards a losing season defined [...]
Based on merit, the following headline doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, I’ll give you that. Since his recall from Buffalo, Lucas Duda is only batting a measly .225 with one home run and seven RBI’s. Those are hardly the numbers that scream more playing time. There is no other way to slice it: [...]

On Wednesday afternoon in St. Louis, R.A. Dickey became the first Mets to amass 18 victories in one season since Frank Viola and Dwight Gooden both achieved the feat in 1990. With each win and with each quality outing, Dickey is solidifying his chances to become the first knuckleballer to win a Cy Young. [...]
