The 2011 Mets were a team that fans and the front office would want to forget; David Wright and Johan Santana were injured, Mike Pelfrey couldn’t maintain any kind of consistency, Jason Bay had another sub-par year, and Jose Reyes departed to Free Agency following the season. One of the few bright spots for this [...]
Can you feel the shift? Your intrepid columnist can, despite what some of his colleagues think. Citi Field is looking noticeably fuller and those there noticeably louder than in recent weeks. At least that’s how it played on SNY during last night’s ultimately frustrating loss to Atlanta. Maybe the crowd size was a bit of [...]
Using Billy Shakespeare and GIFs to help make sense of Torres' non-fastball pitch.
Dillon Gee looks to lead the Mets to a big win in game one of a big series against the NL East-leading Braves and their feast or famine offense. [chat id="132" ]
It’s been a busy few weeks in Mike Piazza land. First, he played in the Taco Bell All Star Legends and Celebrities Softball Game, then it was announced he would be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame on September 29th. With Piazza being thrust back into the national/local spotlight, the question of whether or [...]
Much has been said about the regression of the Mets' "core" this season, both on Mets360 and in Mets commentary in general, and with good reason. Ike Davis has once again opened the season in a "slump" so bad that mere words can no longer describe it. The word "slump" doesn't even apply anymore, truth [...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhUJe3vkLIs You have certainly read reports that the Mets would need to be “overwhelmed” to trade Bobby Parnell (who Detroit and Boston have interest in) but what you may not have read is that they need to be equally “overwhelmed” to trade the thirty five year old rental, Marlon Byrd. Parnell is only 28 and [...]
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 [...]
Jeremy Hefner takes the mound as the Mets look to avoid their annual post-All Star Break slide into oblivion tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. [chat id="129" ]
David Wright and Matt Harvey weren't the only Met organization employees to perform in All-Star Games this month. There was also the Major League Baseball Futures Game at Citi Field this past Sunday and the Triple-A All-Star Game held Wednesday night. As well as the Double-A Eastern League's All-Star Game held back on July 10th. [...]
Now that the All-Star break is over, I reached out to my friends in the Mets blogosphere and asked the following question: What are your expectations for the Mets in the second half? These people all do great work and their names are hyperlinked to their blogs so please go ahead and click on them [...]
Outside of phenom Matt Harvey, starting pitching has not been the New York Mets' strong suit in 2013. From Aaron Laffey to Shaun Marcum, nobody has been anywhere near as consistently reliable as Harvey has. This poses a lot of questions as to who will start Opening Day next year, or in the games following [...]
