Jay Bruce loves New York. On a night when it looked like the Mets' beleaguered bullpen would let them down again, Bruce saved everyone's bacon with two home runs, accounting for all the Mets' scoring. Robert Gsellman started for New York and was stellar. He threw 99 pitches, lasting one batter into the eighth, while [...]
the Washington Nationals and Mets will clash at Citi Field in their first meeting of the season. Presumably Daniel Murphy will be batting in the middle of the Nats batting order. Murphy, a long time Met and key cog in the Mets 2015 pennant season, received a thunderous ovation in 2016 when he returned for [...]
The Mets are on a four-game streak and it's not a good one. For the fourth straight game the Mets not only lost to a division rival, but they wasted a strong start, failed to hit much, and were undone by a shaky bullpen. For good measure, they threw in a few costly errors as [...]

If you thought Saturday night's loss was heartbreaking, you'll have to come up with a new word to describe Sunday's 4-2 setback. After being no-hit for 7.2 innings, the Mets came back with two runs in the ninth inning to tie. Singles by Travis d'Arnaud and Wilmer Flores, along with an error by Giancarlo Stanton, [...]

No matter how much we know, or think we know, this will always be true. As a general rule, throughout baseball history we’ve asked [...]
The old wisdom is that you're going to win 1/3 of your games no matter what and you're going to lose 1/3 no matter what. It's what you do with the other 1/3 that determines what kind of year you're going to have. The Mets lost one of the games from the third category Saturday [...]
