With the trade deadline just six weeks away, the Mets find themselves with a record of 29-42-- five and a half games ahead of the last place Miami Marlins, and 11.5 games behind the first-place Braves. A chance that the Mets make a playoff run this year is unlikely, so the question is whether they [...]
With Jonathon Niese going on the disabled list, the Mets’ decision on which pitcher to drop from the rotation was delayed. That’s good news for Jeremy Hefner and Shaun Marcum, the two leading candidates to be removed. Let’s take a minute to look at the pros and cons for Hefner remaining a starter, if and [...]
Gee looks to continue his recent stretch of great pitching as the Mets look to win for the fifth time in six games. Game time is 4:10 PM. [chat id="105" ]
The Mets have made an in-season move and acquired Eric Young, Jr. I know, Mets360.com already has run an article about it but its so nice to see the Mets make a deal, I had to write another one. In what must be considered a significant move for the Mets, they have acquired Young from [...]
“I should really go to a Cyclones game.” I’ve been saying this for years, but on Thursday 6/20/2013, I finally did. First of all, let me tell you that MCU park is a nice park to watch a game. It was clean, the sight lines were good and atmosphere (with the rides of Coney Island [...]
I’m not sure who said it; I think it was SNY’s play-by-play man Gary Cohen, but someone had a valid comparison recently. And that is Marlon Byrd is turning into this year’s Scott Hairston. Just like when the Mets picked Hairston off the scrap heap, Byrd is doing his best to impersonate Hairston while playing [...]
The Mets look to continue their dominance of Cole Hamels tonight in Citizen's Bank Park at 7:10 pm. [chat id="104" ]
If you asked a random baseball fan from Atlanta or DC or Philadelphia what was wrong with the Mets, undoubtedly one of the first things they would bring up would be the awful bullpen. After watching the Braves’ telecasts of the just-concluded five-game series, I lost count of how many times their announcers talked about [...]
Mets go for the series win tonight at 7:10 PM. [chat id="103" ]
You may or may not have heard: Zack Wheeler was pretty good in his debut. That was on top of Matt Harvey being otherworldly earlier that same day. On what was clearly the best day of this benighted 2013 season, Mets fan and Mets player alike got a personal jolt from these two electrifying performances. [...]
Some Mets’ fans have shrugged at the idea of acquiring the services of Eric Young Jr. (traded for Collin McHugh on Tuesday night) from the Colorado Rockies, saying he is nothing more than filler with no real upside and one who will fit right in with the Mets’ under-qualified outfield. The naysayers have a point. [...]
It's Marcum's turn to frustrate the Braves. Mets SP in this series have pitched 21.1 IP and allowed just 5 ER. With a different manager, it could easily have been 21 IP and 0 ER. Game time is 7:10 PM. [chat id="102" ]
