The Mets look to end August on a three-game winning streak. Game time is 7:10 PM. [chat id="170" ]
It’s sad to see our Ace get hit with an injury the year before the Mets were “Ready to Compete” but… if you think about it, it could have been worse. Imagine if we had traded Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler for offensive help (Like Giancarlo Stanton or Carlos Gonzalez) in the offseason and Harvey [...]
Ok, so the loss of Matt Harvey goes pretty deep. The last time I had a reaction like that was back on July 30, 2004, when the Mets dealt Scott Kazmir to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for Victor Zambrano and Bartolome Fortunato. I have to say, though, that the team’s reactions and the articles [...]
Well, it seems all but apparent that Bobby Parnell’s fine season will be coming to an end this month. According to MetsBlog, Parnell is not even close to resuming any baseball-related activities. Parnell was placed on the DL on August 6 with a neck injury. He had an epidural shot to alleviate the pain, but [...]
The Mets square off against the Nationals at 7:10 p.m. tonight at Nationals Park. [chat id="169" ]
Almost 25 years ago to the day, on August 28th, the New York Mets, in the midst of another pennant winning season, called up prized prospect Gregg Jefferies. The 21 year old, drafted number 20 overall by the Mets in 1985, was placed in starting lineup by Davey Johnson playing third base. Batting second in [...]
On Thursday, Anthony Recker made his first start since being recalled from Las Vegas. He went 1-for-2 with a HR and 2 BB and he did a fine job working behind the plate with Carlos Torres. The Mets had a laugher, as they downed the Phillies, 11-3, to earn a split of the four-game series. [...]
Reading Charlie Hangley’s piece on this season seemingly turning into 1978 before our eyes made me wonder about lean eras in Met history. Some say this is a bit masochistic of a topic, but the reasons behind the logic of it are worth pondering. So the case can be made that the “lean eras” since [...]
The pitching matchup all of New York and Philadelphia is talking about! Game time is 1:10 PM. [chat id="168" ]
“Bring your kids to see our kids!” So went the lame entreaty from the Mets to bring your kiddies, bring your wife out to the ol’ ballpark: Shea Stadium, 1978 vintage. The fossil front office tried to drum up interest in a whole new crop of Mets. In the absence of Tom Seaver, Dave Kingman, [...]
Are you excited for the final month of baseball, Mets’ fans? Clearly that’s a rhetorical question. With the Mets dropping six of their last seven games, the grittiness and fight that this team displayed shortly after the All-Star break, all but seems to have dissipated. The air has been let out of the balloon as [...]
