Much has been said about the regression of the Mets' "core" this season, both on Mets360 and in Mets commentary in general, and with good reason. Ike Davis has once again opened the season in a "slump" so bad that mere words can no longer describe it. The word "slump" doesn't even apply anymore, truth [...]

There was also the Major League Baseball Futures Game at Citi Field this past Sunday and the Triple-A All-Star Game held Wednesday night. As well as the Double-A Eastern League's All-Star Game held back on July 10th. [...]

Outside of phenom Matt Harvey, starting pitching has not been the New York Mets' strong suit in 2013. From Aaron Laffey to Shaun Marcum, nobody has been anywhere near as consistently reliable as Harvey has. This poses a lot of questions as to who will start Opening Day next year, or in the games following [...]
