Coming into this Wild Card series, the thought was that where the Mets had the edge was with power. So, of course, the Mets put up eight runs without a homer. In a game that featured two comebacks by the Mets, they emerged with an 8-4 win over the Brewers and a 1-0 lead in [...]
The Mets got blanked in the final game of the regular season but given they won Game #161, few people outside of Arizona are very upset. While it would have been nice to win and knock the Braves out of the playoffs, the important thing was no one got hurt in the 3-0 loss. The [...]
The Mets are in the playoffs!!! A six-run eighth inning gave the Mets the lead. But they gave up four runs in the bottom of the frame to trail by a run. It seemed like another brutal ending for the Mets. But Starling Marte hit a single up the middle and Francisco Lindor delivered a [...]

Mark Vientos can hold his head high. The rest of the team needs to do some soul searching. It was a disappointing night for the Mets, as they didn’t hit or field particularly well and lost to the Braves, 5-1, Tuesday night in Atlanta. Some poor defense did in Luis Severino early. And the Braves [...]
Brandon Nimmo gave the Mets the lead with a solo homer and Edwin Diaz came on for a six-out save, lifting the Mets to a 2-1 win over the Phillies Sunday night at Citi Field.
