The Mets came into this game looking to win their first road series since mid-April. Remember mid-April? When we thought the Mets might still be good? Seems a long time ago, doesn't it? They would send Jacob deGrom to the mound to recall that era of good feeling. In any case, the Mets started off [...]
The Mets came into tonight’s game closer to the Marlins for last place than to the third place Phillies. After coming out of the All Star break stumbling, Noah Syndergaard led the Mets to victory by the score of 4-2. Syndergaard went seven innings strong, giving up two runs and striking out nine while lowering [...]
I'd like to think the Mets really wanted to end the first half on an up note. That they'd want to go out with their heads held high, ready to take on all comers in the second half; to make that second half more than garbage time. After all that had gone on this weekend [...]
The Mets finally won a game against the Phillies and they have their bullpen to thank for it. Philadelphia entered the night with five wins against the Mets since June 9th, while going 4-15 against other teams in that stretch. Noah Syndergaard battled early, going five innings and leaving the game with a 6-4 lead. [...]
After a day off, the Mets’ bullpen felt the need to remind us how terrible it is and it did it in impressive fashion, allowing five runs in the ninth inning, leading to a 7-2 loss to the Phillies Friday night in Citi Field. Allegedly one of the driving forces for Brodie Van Wagenen in [...]
The good vibes from last night's Subway Series win faded as the Mets bats failed to show up tonight in a 5-1 loss to the Yankees. Jason Vargas got off to a rocky start, allowing two runs in the opening inning, the settled down for four scoreless innnings, before tiring in the sixth and allowing [...]
A little less than a month ago, the Mets and Yankees played a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, the second game of which featured a pounding of Yankee starter James Paxton. This intra-city rite of summer picked up again tonight at Citi Field, with the Mets hoping to repeat that performance. They'd send Zack Wheeler to [...]
The Mets used an eighth-inning comeback to snap a seven-game losing streak, as they salvaged the final game against the Braves, 8-5, Sunday night at Citi Field. Todd Frazier homered to lead off the eighth inning, which cut the deficit to a single run. The Mets proceeded to load the bases and with two outs, [...]
It really should not have been a shocker, but despite a ninth inning comeback by the Mets, the Phillies walked off for the series sweep. A pitcher’s duel between Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola turned into a bombardment of each team’s closer, and the Phillies retook the lead in the final frame with a two-run [...]
In a nightmarish ending to the game, former Met Jay Bruce walked off on a deep fly ball to centerfield in the bottom of the 10th. While Gary Cohen ended the broadcast the echoing bell at Citizen’s Bank Park sounded like a funeral toll for this season. The Mets seem to be living in some [...]
The Mets lost yet another game they should have won tonight, falling 7-5 to the Phillies. The gist of it is that the Mets wasted scoring opportunities, stranding nine base runners, including seven in scoring position. Yes, the Mets surrendered seven runs, but that's to be expected when injuries and a lack of pitching depth [...]
There is a meme on the internet from a cartoon comic where Spiderman is pointing at an identical version of himself, both of them bewildered at the other’s existence. For those who aren’t aware, memes are screenshots from any form of video or photo and often captioned with a witty remark. The Spiderman meme is [...]
