For the last two days the Mets have been rained out. Two consecutive days without baseball could be considered a long time. For Juan Lagares, it may seem like an eternity. You see, Lagares rarely plays (he’s appeared in only 26 games this year while only making 56 plate appearances since his debut on April [...]
Round 3: Winners: Boston got Denney and if they can sign him he’s the clear pick of the round. Pick #76: Ivan Wilson, RF, [Ruston HS] Scouting: At 6’3” and 220 Lbs Wilson is a big player who projects to have a big bat. The power is there and he seems to have enough of [...]
In his second stint with the Mets, Omar Quintanilla is picking up right where he left off, hitting the ball sharply and enjoying his best streak of ball in the majors. In six games with the Mets in 2013, Quintanilla has a 1.273 OPS and has been a huge upgrade over what the club had [...]
I wrote last Saturday about the draft and selected a pretty auspicious group of players to be joining the Metropolitan ranks. With my analysis the Mets would have come away with three college bats and a talented high school pitcher. You’ll recall that I thought the Mets could come away with: Hunter Renfroe, OF [Mississippi [...]
The Mets are currently playing around where a lot of fans and baseball people expected them to be playing this time of the year. They sit fourth in the NL East, ahead of only the Marlins - who could have one of the worst teams in the last ten years – 12.5 games out of [...]

With Zack Wheeler’s eventual call up to Queens to come in the next week or two, Dillon Gee and Jeremy Hefner are doing their best to not lose their spot in the rotation. Simply put, they are not going down without a fight. While the club and Terry Collins are trying to downplay the addition [...]

It’s been over a year since that unforgettable June day. Ask any Mets fan where they were on June 1st, 2012 and they can tell you. It is a moment that will go down in history: Johan Santana threw the first Mets no-hitter. Now, a year later, what impact does that no-hitter still have? For [...]
1974 TOPPS RON HODGES This is the rookie card for Ron Hodges but Hodges made his major league debut the year before in 1973. For reasons known only to a kid, I remember Hodges’ MLB debut. Specifically, I remember his first at-bat. Hodges crushed a ball but it was foul and he ended up striking [...]
