Throughout this career, Jon Niese has been nothing short of an effective left-handed pitcher for the New York Mets. With a career winning percentage aournd .500, Niese currently finished only two of his eight total seasons with more losses than wins. Niese is also the only lefty in the Mets’ starting rotation, but with Steven [...]
The Mets are the number one team in the National League East, while Avengers: Age of Ultron is the number one movie in America. But if you think that is where the similarities stop between the team and the movie…you have a lot to learn. Not only do the Mets have two players, David Wright [...]
Bartolo Colon may not be the most athletic, diverse, or even handsomest of pitchers, but he is the best in baseball right now…which means his value is through the roof. Colon has won each of his first four starts, which has only been done by two other pitchers this season (Matt Harvey (NYM) and Alfredo [...]
Earlier this week, New York Mets manager Terry Collins announced that Jeurys Familia will continue to hold the closer’s role for the first few weeks of Bobby Parnell’s return from TJ Surgery. This means that Familia will be holding the closer’s job well into the beginning of the season, and may hold onto it for [...]
A team with young potential, veterans hungry for a World Series title, a manager on the hot seat, and fans who have struggled enough and want their team to win now. The previous statement can be connected to two surprisingly similar teams: the 2014 Kansas City Royals and the 2015 New York Mets. While the [...]
In case an Opening Day win against the Washington Nationals was not enough to prove that the Mets will be a force to be reckoned with, then the Mets’ 2015 schedule should do the trick. The Mets’ division is not as tough as it was in the past, because the Atlanta Braves & Philadelphia Phillies [...]
In 12 years, the format of Major League Baseball will be completely different. Last week, I went in depth about how the divisions will look with two new teams added to the mix (the Puerto Rico Sapos and the Dominica Tarantulas). With that out of the way, this week will focus on what the Post [...]
In 1999, the New York Mets took place in an MLB-wide promotion known as “Turn Ahead the Clock.” For the promotion, 21 teams around the majors redesigned their uniforms and changed some of the advertisements around the stadium all in the spirit of predicting what baseball will look like in 2027. In fact, the Mets [...]
Spring training is a time for newbies and newcomers to make an impact on their team and the fans. For the first time since October, rookies and veterans put on their uniforms, and play in front of a crowd in order to make their mark and reserve a roster spot. So, without any furthered ado, [...]
Major League Baseball prides itself on the jerseys worn by its teams. All 30 teams have three or more jerseys that they wore in 2014, some of them even have over 10. Some jerseys do a great job representing their teams, while others should be discontinued immediately. Within the past few seasons, ball clubs have [...]
In 14 days, the Mets will be playing the Atlanta Braves at 1:05pm Eastern Time for their first Spring Training game in 2015. Therefore, leading up to that game, here is a Mets countdown from 14 to 1. 14: The number wore by Gil Hodges. Hodges played for the Mets in 1962 & 1963, and [...]
Every season, fans can look back and think of a plethora of words/phrases to describe a season. In recent years, it could be inferred that the best word to describe the Mets has been “disappointing” or even “failure,” but looking ahead to 2015, that word will be “exciting.” Why? The Mets have some new/returning stars [...]
