The Mets stand 41-50 at the All-Star Break, finishing 17-13 in their last 30 games. This has pulled them 11 back in the division and only eight losses out of the second Wild Card spot. With the way they have been playing, is it outrageous to dream of a second half run? Well, yes and [...]
The game's in Citi Field and has a Met SP - seems like we should do a chatter! Coverage starts at 8:00 PM [chat id="128" ]
You gotta admit: when the Mets throw a big party, they do a pretty decent job. The 84th Major League All-Star game is tonight. You may have heard. If you’re local to Citi Field, the build-up and giddy excitement have been inescapable. From the minute 35 All-Star Apples were sprinkled around town, the anticipation surrounding [...]
Rumors continue to circulate that the Mets are in the market for a power-hitting outfielder. Giancarlo Stanton – wow, wouldn’t that be great? Carlos Gonzalez – now, that would be exciting! Andre Ethier – wait, wait… what? One of these things is not like the other. In 2009, Ethier hit 31 HR, drove in 106 [...]
In case you haven’t been watching a lot of ESPN lately, and I don’t blame you if you haven’t, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Max Scherzer is 13-1, before the All Star Break, one of the best pre-break records in years.

A look back at the first half with grades for each Mets' player as well as Head Coach Terry Collins and GM Sandy Alderson.
Over the past month the Mets have looked like a different team. The addition of Eric Young, Jr. provided some life to an otherwise ghastly outfield. The move has been celebrated amongst most of the mainstream media, from Mike Francesca, Boomer and Carton to the Mets blogosphere, including Metsblog.com. Most of the staff here at [...]
The Mets lost a tough one in extra innings Friday night against the Pirates. As the game was wrapping up, Keith Hernandez, much like he did earlier in the game, talked about how it was well-managed on both sides. Let’s ignore the Pirates and focus only on the Mets. What exactly was it that made [...]
Its #HefnerDay in Pittsburgh as the Mets look to continue build momentum after a sweep of the Giants. [chat id="124" ]
The baseball season is 162 games long and that’s about how many columns I write for the site in a year. Not one of my columns is a game recap, which means there’s an awful lot of opinion pieces. Anyone who gives that many opinions in a year is going to be wrong more than [...]
The Mets went out to San Francisco and swept the Giants for the first time in forever. This is on the heels of taking two-of-three from the Brewers in Milwaukee. That came after a seven-game homestand which saw the team go 3-4. And before that was the thought-to-be-grueling 11-game swing through Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chicago and [...]
Bobby Parnell has been outstanding this year for the Mets, but can he be traded for the right prospects?
