The First-Year Player Draft is a week away. The 2013 edition of the draft will take place on June 6-8 and the Mets are primed to get a highly-touted first round selection when they make their first pick in the 11th spot. The Mets have the foundation for what could be a great rotation some [...]
So, the Mets swept the Yankees for the first time in their regular season history. Sill kind of hard to believe that conceivably the biggest wins of the season came before June started, but that the way it seems. What? Oh, yes there is what happened 40 summers ago, but that was due to a [...]
What a difference a week makes. After Saturday’s loss to the Braves, the Mets had dropped five in a row, Dillon Gee had gotten pounded, the offense looked inept and there were seemingly questions everywhere with answers that ranged from “not helpful” to “did you really suggest that with a straight face” across the board. [...]
Yesterday we mentioned the "Terrible Trio" and how John Buck, Ike Davis and Ruben Tejada were acting as sinkholes for the lineup. Tonight, two of the three are not starting and who knows - maybe this will be the day Davis ends his 29-game, 105-PA homer-less drought. [chat id="86" ]
The Mets have had a heck of a week so far. After dropping five straight at home to the likes of the Reds and Braves – no shame in that; the rest of the National League has been doing the same – the Mets took the final game against Atlanta, then three straight vs. the [...]
Finally Jeremy Hefner can exhale. After countless good starts, Hefner finally broke into the win column on Wednesday night as the Mets assured themselves of winning the Subway Series against the Yankees (first time since 2008) after winning 9-4. For the first time this year, the Mets have pieced together a four-game winning streak. Fancy [...]
The Subway Series moves to Yankee Stadium as the Mets try to win four in a row for the first time this season. First pitch slated for 7:05 PM. [chat id="85" ]
Somewhat unbelievably, John Buck, Ike Davis and Ruben Tejada are all in the lineup again tonight. In the last 24 days, the Mets have played 22 games. Here’s how Buck, Davis and Tejada have done in this stretch: JB – 19 G, 75 PA, .65 ABs, 482 OPS, .154/.267/.215, 23 Ks ID – 21 G, [...]
Over the past two years there have been a number of moments that will stick with Mets’ fans forever. One of those moments was the first career hit for Jordany Valdespin, a pinch-hit go ahead 3-run home run off of Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon last year. He instantly became fan favorite with Mets fans; as [...]
2007 TOPPS CO-SIGNERS JOHN MAINE/PHILIP HUMBER Once upon a time (the summer of 2007, to be precise), I pulled this card and I was happy. The Mets were in first place that July, and seemed well-equipped to remain there throughout the year. John Maine was a solid presence on the mound, and would go on [...]
Weather permitting, the Mets look for a sweep of their half of the Subway Series. The schedule claims first pitch scheduled for 7:00 PM but it's an ESPN game so you know it will be later than advertised. [chat id="84" ]
