With the All Star game a little more than two weeks away, prospective Mets’ all-star hopefuls have two more weeks to showcase their skills for the Mid-Summer Classic, which, as you all should know, is being held at Citi Field. The last time the Mets hosted the All-Star game was back in 1964. Just how [...]
On June 7th, the Las Vegas 51s played the second game of a four-game series in Tacoma, Wash. The following day, the Mets called up reliever David Aardsma, who made the cross-county trek to Queens and pitched a scoreless inning in a day game. Starting on June 8th and the promotion of Aardsma, the Mets’ [...]
The 11-game road trip roaming through four cities is over. But in a series against the division-leading Braves, Philadelphia, Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies, New York abruptly came to life. The 25-39 Mets were mired in another bleak season, with captain David Wright as one of the few bright spots amidst disasters like Ike [...]
With Ike Davis tearing it up in Las Vegas, his return to the majors will happen at any moment now. As it is, the Mets will be facing a slew of lefties in the next 6-8 games and the Mets seem hellbent on recalling Davis when the time is right—i.e. when they are set to [...]
The resident ball club is still in search of its first pennant, but Citi Field is a home run with Mets fans. The Ebbets Field-style brick and Jackie Robinson Rotunda are a nice change of pace from the bright blue walls of Shea Stadium. All of the seats have great leg room and a fantastic [...]
Zack Wheeler has made his first two starts for the New York Mets and now it seems as if the future all Mets’ fans have been waiting for is beginning to take shape. All the big prospects that the Mets have been grooming and getting ready for the big leagues are now up in Flushing [...]
MLB Trade Rumors (By way of FanGraphs) has come out with some lists of those players most likely to be traded at the deadline. Within the top 30 of each category the Mets have a total of 8 players listed as being “Likely to be traded.” Yet you’ve probably heard Sandy Alderson telling people that [...]
Wheeler tries to follow up his impressive debut but has a tough matchup with Sale, a first-round pick of the Sox in 2010, the same draft that produced Matt Harvey. Game time is 8:10 PM. [chat id="107" ]
It seems like the only one that can slow down Matt Harvey is Mother Nature. Harvey took the mound on Sunday afternoon (6/23), threw six innings, struck out six batters, allowed two hits and one walk. It was a passing Philadelphia monsoon – a game delay of twenty-odd minutes – that kept him from lasting [...]
While a lot of attention has recently been paid to the Mets unorthodox methods of promoting David Wright’s all-star candidacy, the much bigger story is that Wright is posting numbers worthy of an all-star in 2013. Only two years ago, it seemed nearly unfathomable that Wright would ever post an all-star caliber season again, [...]
The Mets' short-season affiliates got their seasons underway this past week. Those affiliates are, in order from most advanced to least, the Brooklyn Cyclones (New York-Penn League), the Kingsport Mets (Appalachian League), and the GCL Mets (Gulf Coast League). The Cyclones are at the short-season A class-level while both Kingsport and the GCL team are [...]
With the trade deadline just six weeks away, the Mets find themselves with a record of 29-42-- five and a half games ahead of the last place Miami Marlins, and 11.5 games behind the first-place Braves. A chance that the Mets make a playoff run this year is unlikely, so the question is whether they [...]
