The Mets had a .400 winning percentage in April and with four games remaining in May their winning percentage checks in at .390 for the month. It would be an easy conclusion to say that this is who the Mets are as a team yet the way they reached these marks is so different that [...]
Triple-A Las Vegas has been an interesting place for the past 10 games or so. Some players are putting on shows and it HAS to make some people wonder when they might be called up to help that team in Queens. Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Omar Quintanilla, Josh Satin, Wilmer Flores and Francisco Pena all have made [...]
Ike Davis is easily the most perplexing player on the Mets roster right now. Now in his fourth season since being called up in 2010, Davis has posted one-and-a-quarter good seasons, and one-and-a-quarter horrendous ones. He has looked like two completely different ballplayers. Davis’ early triumphs on the field have perhaps given him some leeway [...]

If you ask who the biggest stars were in Sunday night’s win over the Braves, most people would answer Shaun Marcum, who fanned 12 batters in seven innings, or Ike Davis, who had a two-run single to give the Mets the lead in the eighth inning. Perhaps some would mention Bobby Parnell, who cruised through [...]
Earlier this week ESPN's Adam Rubin wondered, "Where are the Moneyball players with the Mets?" Rubin lists several players signed by the Mets since Sandy Alderson took over as General Manager that did and did not fit the mold of "productive free agents signed to small contracts." It's an interesting question, since "Moneyball" isn't so [...]

Since the beginning of the 2012 season the Mets have been patient with Ike Davis’s struggles. They even kept him in the majors, allowing him to turn around his season, putting up a wRC+ of 141, offsetting his wRC+ of 79 in the first half. However, his start to this season has been nightmarish. Hitting [...]
Prior to tonight's regularly scheduled game, the Mets and Braves will complete last night's suspended game, which was called with the score tied, 5-5, heading to the top of the ninth inning. The suspended game starts at 6:10 PM. [chat id="80" ]
About a month ago (on April 20th), we looked at the way the draft might play out for the Mets who hold the 11th pick in the draft. Since then, we’ve had some draft order movement. Based on mlb.com, we’re seeing the top of the order now looking like: 1) Mark Appel (was #1) 2) [...]
It was a demoralizing scene if I ever saw one. In the bottom of the 8th inning in Friday night’s game vs. the Braves, Ike Davis struck out for the fourth time in the game while looking hopeless at the plate. Once again, Davis earned the dreaded “golden sombrero.” This was the third time this [...]
With a day off to lick their wounds, the Mets return to the diamond to face the division-leading Braves for the first time at home in 2013. First pitch slated for 7:10 PM. [chat id="79" ]
