After hearing the worst news that the Mets fan base could hear twice in one month: David Wright and Matt Harvey have possible extended injuries, every Met fan was up in arms about how the future in queens would look next season. After losing five consecutive games, I started to wonder why I even bothered [...]
Matt Harvey has a small tear in his UCL, but he has left a pretty large tear in the Mets pitching staff, that, until now, had given Mets fans a good reason to have hope in the future. Harvey had been making a very legitimate run for the NL Cy Young crown, although it seems [...]
2011 TOPPS GYPSY QUEEN IKE DAVIS Gather your wits and hold on fast, Your mind must learn to roam. Just as the Gypsy Queen must do You're gonna hit the road. On Tuesday’s SNY telecast, the Verizon Text Poll question asked fans if they thought Ike Davis would be back as the 2014 starting first [...]
Unfortunately The Dilson will not be in the lineup for the Mets tonight as they look to even up the series against the Phillies. Game time is 7:10 PM [chat id="166"]
Sandy Alderson held onto Marlon Byrd at the trade deadline because he didn't get offered enough value in return. That decision paid off when he was able to land Dilson Herrera in a waiver move.
By now, we all know the terrible news about Matt Harvey’s partially torn UCL, which might require surgery. If Harvey would need to undergo Tommy John surgery, he would miss mot (if not all) of the 2014 campaign. The news was heartbreaking to all of us. It was the first time in a while that [...]
This is an old song, but Met fans are conditioned. “Hope for the best, expect the worst,” goes the mantra, at least since Carlos Beltran stapled a bat to his shoulder in October, 2006. We all knew this one was too good to last, didn’t we? Matt Harvey – the bellwether of the young pitching [...]
The Mets signed 27 draft picks in 2013. Here are their bonuses and pool allotment numbers.
After Monday night’s game, my thoughts drifted to the 1977 Pirates. If you just went to the Baseball-Reference page for that team, you might think that they overachieved. They had a Pythagorean Record of 88-74 but their actual record was 95-66. Yet my thoughts about this squad are how they did not score as many [...]
The Mets kick off a three game series at home against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Travis d'Arnaud gets his first (of hopefully many) cracks at making the Phillies regret trading him. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. [chat id="165"]
When Sandy Alderson was hired as the General Manager of the New York Mets back in 2010, one of the mantras recited by beat writers and fans alike was that the Alderson era would be “Moneyball with money.” Fast forward three cash-strapped years, and some fans and media members (here’s to looking at you, Evan [...]
The Mets announced that they have signed Dominican outfielder, Ricardo Cespedes, for $725,000.00 at the young age of sixteen. He’s a lefty with good bat mechanics and the speed to at least start in center field. The question for Cespedes, like so many young outfielders, is whether he will fill out and move to a [...]
