Heck Of A Day For The Mets, Via Twitter

The Mets weren’t even on my radar yesterday afternoon, until I had to make trip to the bank for work. I flipped on WFAN just in time to hear a classic anti-Mets rant from the all-knowing, all-powerful Mike Francesa. The Omnipotent Pope of Sports was at his bellowing, bellicose, bloviating best. It sounded like he [...]

Perception meets Reality: Mets look like they have thrown in the towel

After Tuesday’s night’s 6-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies, Terry Collins was steaming mad at the effort the Mets put forth and uttered what many of us were thinking when he said the following to reporters: “Perception is reality. And when you sit on the outside and you watch a game like tonight, perception is, [...]

2012 Mets don’t need a second lefty in the pen, they need Bob Myrick

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you could taste it? And the longer you go without the item, its appeal only increases exponentially?

Have the Mets Given Up?

I can barely bring myself to pay attention anymore. I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m sure there are other Met fans out there who have decided to get on with their lives and not concern themselves any further with the goings-on in Queens, as evidenced by the acres of empty green plastic at Citi Field. [...]

Mets Card of the Week: 1979 Pat Zachry

1979 TOPPS PAT ZACHRY In his 1978 card, Pat Zachry looked like a college kid. On the 1979 card pictured here, Zachry looks like a middle-aged man on a first-name basis with the clerk at the local liquor store. I wish I had a current photo of him. I’d like to think he still has [...]

Mets Minors: Zach Lutz looking to force promotion with bat alone

If a player can hit over .300 with good patience and power… why isn’t he playing in the big leagues?  The answers to that question are varied but in the particular case of Zach Lutz, let’s try to get to the bottom of it. Lutz was a 5th round pick for the Mets back in [...]

Thoughts on Left on Base and GDPs for the Mets

Sunday the Mets left 10 runners on base and lost, 5-2. The story of the game is they had their chances but could not cash in. It stood in stark contrast to Saturday’s contest, where the Mets left only three runners on base but won the game. It’s easy to view Left On Base (LOB) [...]

Just how amazing is the Mets’ 42-4 record in runs allowed split?

The Mets beat the Nationals Saturday night, 2-0, to bring their record to 42-4 when they hold their opponents to three runs or fewer. That amazes me. Obviously all teams will have a good record in these situations but for a sub .500 team to be playing at a .913 winning percentage seems significant. So [...]
