According to multiple, reliable sources the Mets are indeed in discussions with as many as six teams regarding a potential return for pitcher Noah Syndergaard. Blasphemy! At least that was my initial reaction and certainly many of you reading this shouted out similar, though perhaps less dramatic words. Syndergaard possesses tantalizing talent and Hall of [...]
It's Thanksgiving weekend and I have no interest in football. My basketball team - the Knicks - are unwatchable. I don't do black Friday. In my free time I obsess about the Mets and it's nice to know I'm not alone. Among the things that I'm thankful for is having a place to connect with [...]
There are multiple solutions to every problem in baseball. My belief is that the first problem that the Mets should look to solve is the bullpen. My solution is to sign Craig Kimbrel and whatever solid free agent reliever is left in late January. But you could sign Jeurys Familia and David Robertson and that [...]
That's a lot of infield hits! Oh, and Daren Willman is great

Those guys always get my respect but the difference between Stengel and your typical guy who stays involved in the game for 50-plus years was his wit and his [...]
Going into the later innings of a Mets game last season was to say the least, nerve wracking. The 4.96 ERA that the bullpen brought in the later innings was the source of frustration for Mets players and fans, as well as losses for the team. Mets fans were reminded of this weak spot in [...]
It took nearly 30 years of listening to Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo's loud, obnoxious voice, but for the first time I found myself nodding in agreement with the radio host. Earlier this week on his XM radio show he suggested that any American League team other than the Red Sox, Yankees, Astros or Indians should [...]

The hope with the hiring of Brodie Van Wagenen is that it won’t be business as usual for the Mets.
