The forgotten man: Jeremy Hefner

Jeremy Hefner is doing well in his Tommy John rehab…if anybody cares.  Not to be rude, but it seems that nobody really cares about Hefner and his Tommy John surgery.  When Matt Harvey had the same surgery, all eyes were on him (and they still are).  But Hefner has seems to have completely fallen under [...]

This day in Mets history: May 7th

The Mets have been around for 52 years, and they have had a lot to celebrate.  They won the World Series twice and the National League pennant four times.  But there is more to celebrate than just that, especially on a day like today.  Although it may seem like an average day, the Mets have [...]

The interesting case of Curtis Granderson

“Real New Yorkers are Mets fans,” are the most remembered words by Mets new outfielder Curtis Granderson during his press conference this past offseason.  Granderson entered 2014 with high expectations, and has seemed to fail each and every one of them.  Granderson has a batting average well below .200 after playing in 19 of the [...]

Is it time to give Travis d’Arnaud a break?

Travis d’Arnaud is beginning to get hot, but he is still having a terrible start to his first season in the majors.  As of Wednesday morning, d’Arnaud is hitting .154 with one home run.  This does not mean that d’Arnaud should be traded or released, but the Mets do need to find a viable catcher [...]
