It took the Mets thirty innings, ten hours and one rainout to lose two more games to the Miami Marlins over the weekend. That makes five straight losses to Miami, over successive weekends. Let that sink in for a minute. The Miami. Marlins. The Marlins, who have won just 18 of their 63 games. The [...]
With 40 Rounds and the Mets selecting players between 11th overall and 1196th overall, the draft can seem daunting. This is a cheat sheet for Met fans who want to know about their draft picks without doing hours of research. 11th: Dominic Smith Position – He’s a solid first baseman and could be the first [...]
The following story is respectfully offered for your consideration. It concerns two people—Ike Davis and Lucas Duda —but they are from another galaxy and another time. They live quite simply in the Twilight Zone. Okay so they’re not from another galaxy and another time. But after hearing Sandy Alderson’s comments on WFAN Monday, it’s quite [...]
The Mets are 58 games into the 2013 season. A miserable season so far, to be sure, highlighted by their dreadful outfield. Much has already been said about the Mets terrible outfield this year. It's very bad, in case you hadn't noticed. Not only is the outfield a point of poor performance for the team, [...]
I went to an actual Met game for a change. It was a mistake as the Mets lost 8-4 but the highlight of the game for me was seeing the minor league update and hearing that Cesar Puello had collected three hits the night before. It’s likely that you’ve heard Puello’s name before but it [...]
With all the pomp and circumstance surrounding Zack Wheeler’s major league debut, most likely occurring later this week, the future of Mets baseball is rapidly approaching. The future appears to be built on strong starting pitching, anchored by Wheeler and Matt Harvey, and a slew of quality arms in Savannah, St. Lucie, and Binghamton waiting [...]
By now you have most likely heard the news that the Mets plan to demote Mike Baxter, Robert Carson and Ike Davis, with an official announcement coming Monday morning. If it took being embarrassed by the last-place Marlins for these very necessary steps to happen then that seems like a small price to pay to [...]
The offense should have gotten all of the ground outs and harmless fly balls out of its system yesterday. Perhaps Niese will be the beneficiary of an offensive outburst today. Tune in at 1:10 PM to find out. [chat id="93" ]
Usually Terry Collins never misses a chance to use a lefty reliever. If you recall, he spent much of the previous two seasons bellyaching about not having a second lefty to utilize out of the bullpen. So it was a bit surprising in a game that lasted 20 innings and one in which the Mets [...]
This time on Memorabilia Review we will take a peek at the first program put out by the Mets for the 2013 season. This issue is Volume 52, Issue #1, cover price is $5. First of 5 different issues that the Mets are scheduled to produce in 2013 (April 1st, May 20th, June 28th, August [...]
Seems like awhile since the Mets have played a game. And what better way to come back than Harvey Day? Game time is 1:10 PM. [chat id="92" ]
George Stone was a great Met. He didn’t last that long with the team but he was an integral part of the 1973 championship team’s starting rotation. Bob Scheffing acquired George Stone as part of the November 1972 transaction with the Atlanta Braves. The Mets dealt Gary Gentry and Danny Frisella to the Braves in [...]
