The 2021 Mets season ended like it started – with a loss. Six Braves pitchers combined on a 3-hit shutout, leading Atlanta to a 5-0 victory. It would’ve been nice to end the year with a good taste in our mouth. Instead, we were left with some combination of onions, anchovies and Limburger cheese. Patrick [...]
The Mets scored two runs in both the eighth and ninth innings but the comeback fell short and the end result was another one-run loss, this one a 6-5 loss to the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. Carlos Carrasco didn’t give up a run in the first inning this time out. But he made up [...]
Brandon Nimmo hit two home runs to power the Mets to a 4-3 win over the Braves Friday night in Atlanta. With the Braves already clinching the NL East, several stars did not play in this game, including Freddie Freeman. Nimmo had just 12 XBH in his first 184 ABs after being activated from the [...]
It took 159 games but the offense we expected the Mets to have this year finally showed up. They hat 10 hits, with six of them going for extra-bases, along with seven walks and the end result was a 12-3 win over the Marlins Thursday night, giving them the series win by a 10-9 margin. [...]
On a night where Sandy Alderson essentially gave Luis Rojas a public vote of "no confidence," the Mets celebrated with a 3-2 loss to the Marlins Wednesday night. Taijuan Walker turned around a second-half slide to pitch into the eighth inning. But he gave up a double and a one-out walk before getting pulled for [...]
All the Mets needed to break their losing streak was to play a doubleheader. Either that are the offensively challenged Marlins. Either way, the Mets swept a twinbill on Tuesday, winning the opener, 5-2, and the nightcap, 2-1. It’s an open question if it’s in the Mets’ best interests to win any more games the [...]
The Luis Rojas farewell tour racked up another loss, as the Mets fell to the Brewers, 8-4, on Sunday. Milwaukee swept the three-game series, sending the Mets to their 10th loss in their last 11 games. The Mets jumped on top early, as Francisco Lindor homered in the first inning to give them a 1-0 [...]
Earlier in the day the Mets were mathematically eliminated from the postseason. They celebrated with another one-run loss, this one a 2-1 setback to the Brewers Saturday night in Milwaukee. Michael Conforto doubled and scored on a hit by Javier Baez. Aaron Loup pitched a scoreless inning to lower his ERA to 0.98 for the [...]
The change in venue from Boston to Milwaukee did absolutely nothing to inspire the Mets to play better baseball. The Brewers opened the series with a 5-1 win Friday night. The game started off on the right foot, as Brandon Nimmo led off the game with a triple. Despite that, and the fact that the [...]
The Red Sox scored in each of their first six half innings en route to a 12-5 win over the Mets Wednesday night in Boston. The win gave Boston a sweep of this two-game series, to go along with an earlier two-game sweep in New York. Taijuan Walker gave up 6 ER in 2 IP, [...]
When the Mets played the Red Sox earlier in the season, they gave up three runs in two games and lost both of them. They decided this series was going to be different. They allowed six runs in the first game this time and lost, 6-3, Tuesday night in Boston. The Mets jumped on top [...]

For the second straight Sunday, the Mets emerged victorious on an ESPN game! If you had that as your three-way parlay, it’s time for Gambler’s Anonymous. Regardless, the Mets broke [...]
