Cleanup hitter Ike Davis plans a four-hit game to support Torres in his first start as a Met. Game time is 7:15 [chat id="125" ]
AL East: Boston Red Sox Biggest Need: Closer – Bobby Parnell would be a hard guy to let go for the Mets who have said they would need to be overwhelmed to make a deal. The prospect I’d expect to be offered is below and I don’t think that would be enough. If the Red [...]
Recently an eBay auction for a “unique” collectable caught my attention. The opening price was only about 4 bucks for an 8x10 mockup of Willie McCovey’s 1968 Topps baseball card. Only instead of the Giant road greys, Stretch was seen in vintage Met road greys (which is slightly odd considering the photo on the card [...]
The Mets lost a tough one in extra innings Friday night against the Pirates. As the game was wrapping up, Keith Hernandez, much like he did earlier in the game, talked about how it was well-managed on both sides. Let’s ignore the Pirates and focus only on the Mets. What exactly was it that made [...]
Its #HefnerDay in Pittsburgh as the Mets look to continue build momentum after a sweep of the Giants. [chat id="124" ]
The baseball season is 162 games long and that’s about how many columns I write for the site in a year. Not one of my columns is a game recap, which means there’s an awful lot of opinion pieces. Anyone who gives that many opinions in a year is going to be wrong more than [...]
A year-by-year examination of how Mets players did in the All-Star game in the polyester 70s. And Maz got hosed in 1979.
The Mets went out to San Francisco and swept the Giants for the first time in forever. This is on the heels of taking two-of-three from the Brewers in Milwaukee. That came after a seven-game homestand which saw the team go 3-4. And before that was the thought-to-be-grueling 11-game swing through Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chicago and [...]
Bobby Parnell has been outstanding this year for the Mets, but can he be traded for the right prospects?
When I was a boy, I read every sports book I could get my hands on. I read more than my share of disposable biographies on baseball players and rooted for the hero of the story, regardless of what team he played on. It wasn’t unusual for me to read a book about a player [...]
Zack Wheeler makes his first career start in San Francisco against the team that traded him away during the 2011 season as the Mets look to sweep the Giants. First pitch at 3:45. [chat id="122" ]
After a 16-inning affair Monday night, the Mets finally saw themselves on the winning end of a marathon. It was the fourth time this season that a Mets game has gone into at least the 15th inning, the most in the majors. For a team with so little to cheer for (outside of Harvey and [...]
