The following story is respectfully offered for your consideration. It concerns two people—Ike Davis and Lucas Duda —but they are from another galaxy and another time. They live quite simply in the Twilight Zone. Okay so they’re not from another galaxy and another time. But after hearing Sandy Alderson’s comments on WFAN Monday, it’s quite [...]
The Mets are 58 games into the 2013 season. A miserable season so far, to be sure, highlighted by their dreadful outfield. Much has already been said about the Mets terrible outfield this year. It's very bad, in case you hadn't noticed. Not only is the outfield a point of poor performance for the team, [...]
By now you have most likely heard the news that the Mets plan to demote Mike Baxter, Robert Carson and Ike Davis, with an official announcement coming Monday morning. If it took being embarrassed by the last-place Marlins for these very necessary steps to happen then that seems like a small price to pay to [...]
Usually Terry Collins never misses a chance to use a lefty reliever. If you recall, he spent much of the previous two seasons bellyaching about not having a second lefty to utilize out of the bullpen. So it was a bit surprising in a game that lasted 20 innings and one in which the Mets [...]
This time on Memorabilia Review we will take a peek at the first program put out by the Mets for the 2013 season. This issue is Volume 52, Issue #1, cover price is $5. First of 5 different issues that the Mets are scheduled to produce in 2013 (April 1st, May 20th, June 28th, August [...]
For the last two days the Mets have been rained out. Two consecutive days without baseball could be considered a long time. For Juan Lagares, it may seem like an eternity. You see, Lagares rarely plays (he’s appeared in only 26 games this year while only making 56 plate appearances since his debut on April [...]
Round 3: Winners: Boston got Denney and if they can sign him he’s the clear pick of the round. Pick #76: Ivan Wilson, RF, [Ruston HS] Scouting: At 6’3” and 220 Lbs Wilson is a big player who projects to have a big bat. The power is there and he seems to have enough of [...]
In his second stint with the Mets, Omar Quintanilla is picking up right where he left off, hitting the ball sharply and enjoying his best streak of ball in the majors. In six games with the Mets in 2013, Quintanilla has a 1.273 OPS and has been a huge upgrade over what the club had [...]
I wrote last Saturday about the draft and selected a pretty auspicious group of players to be joining the Metropolitan ranks. With my analysis the Mets would have come away with three college bats and a talented high school pitcher. You’ll recall that I thought the Mets could come away with: Hunter Renfroe, OF [Mississippi [...]
The Mets are currently playing around where a lot of fans and baseball people expected them to be playing this time of the year. They sit fourth in the NL East, ahead of only the Marlins - who could have one of the worst teams in the last ten years – 12.5 games out of [...]
News flash: the Mets are eleven games under the .500 mark. A lot has been written and a number of fingers have been pointed as to why. We can look at the failures of Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada and any one of about five or six minor-league outfielders to develop. We can blame a porous [...]
With Zack Wheeler’s eventual call up to Queens to come in the next week or two, Dillon Gee and Jeremy Hefner are doing their best to not lose their spot in the rotation. Simply put, they are not going down without a fight. While the club and Terry Collins are trying to downplay the addition [...]
