The business of Mets baseball Part II: Keeping Wilpon’s lobsters

Okay, we now have down on paper how the Wilpon family became Mets owners, the era of Omar Minaya, the beginning of Sandy & Company, the recession, and ‘The House That Number 42 Built’. I’m going to dumb it down a little here so everyone can understand just how a business survives and what determines [...]

A last look at the run differential for the 2012 Mets

Last night’s loss to the Braves dropped the Mets’ record to 73-85. The team’s actual record matches exactly its Pythagorean Record. Earlier in the year the talk was how the Mets were exceeding their Pythagorean Record by an insane amount. Those of us who pointed this out were scoffed at and while I looked for [...]

Chipper Jones’ night ruined by the Mets

How’s that for irony? Take that Larry! On the night when the Atlanta Braves honored their iconic hitter who defined their success from the 90’s through the turn of the century, it was the Mets who ultimately played spoiler on Chipper Jones’ big farewell night. It was only fitting that the Mets ruined the feel-good [...]

Jeremy Hefner’s value, David Wright’s resurgence, Daniel Murphy’s errors

On September 20th, Jeremy Hefner made his first start in 12 days and was obliterated. He gave up 7 ER and did not record an out. The start was so discouraging that it called into question his usefulness going forward. But in his very next start, Hefner rebounded with seven shutout innings. He now has [...]
