The first real note on David Thompson is that back in 2012 the Yankees aimed to snatch him in the 38th round of the amateur draft. As all scouts predicted, Thompson went to college instead. Part of the issue with his draftability was the fact that he was a two sport player. He wound up [...]
The Mets took on the Indians in Cleveland this afternoon in the rubber game of the series and came away the with shut out the win, 6-0. It was the first series win for the Mets this young season. Steven Matz was looking to bounce back after his horrid season debut, and he was phenomenal. [...]
Lucinda Williams went to Slidell to look for her joy, meaning that the Mets going to Cleveland to look for their offense is not the unlikeliest road trip ever. The good news for Mets fans is that it appears to have happened, as the club has hit seven homers in two games, after delivering just [...]
