This season is destined to be something of a disappointment. Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler again spend time on the DL and the Mets need a major win streak to pull back to .500 baseball. With Harvey’s Met tenure drawing to a close it’s time to look at some of the [...]
The Mets completed a three-game road sweep with an 8-2 victory over the fellow 2017 disappointment San Francisco Giants. And the win came courtesy of two very unlikely heroes - Rafael Montero who pitched nearly six solid innings, and backup catcher catcher Rene Rivera who slugged not one, but two home runs.

That seems like ages ago as we've since gotten punched in the face by [...]
As the Mets hoped to salvage a game in the four game series, they sent out Steven Matz against a struggling Hyun-Jin Ryu. As he did yesterday, Curtis Granderson started things off he wring to lead off the game.it was his 20th Mets leadoff homerun for the all-time Mets record. It stayed rather uneventful until [...]
