"Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide." It doesn’t bring me any joy to say this, but I’ve had enough. No, not talking about all of the one-run losses – although those can stop, too – but rather the 9/11 tributes that everyone makes again and again and again. [...]
In the end, the curse of the primetime Fox game was just too much. The Mets fell behind, 5-0, yet rallied to take a 7-5 lead. But Trevor May allowed three runs in the eighth inning and the Mets lost another one-run game, this one an 8-7 setback to the Yankees Saturday night. May gave [...]
As this is written, the New York Mets are coming off a very large win over their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees. The victory restores their record to .500, squaring up at 71-71 and putting them a bare half-game behind the Philadelphia Phillies for second place in the NL East, five behind the Atlanta [...]

Steve_S. summed up what a lot of us are feeling here lately when he said, “Personally, the last time I was pleased with the Mets manager was around 1990 with Davey Johnson. Three decades ago!” Anyone who’s read this blog for awhile knows how I feel about Johnson. He was smart, knew his stuff, was [...]
Luis Rojas played matchups straight down the line in the 10th inning and it didn’t work on offense and it didn’t work on defense. The end result was a 2-1 loss to the Marlins in Miami. With a righty on the mound, Rojas used Luis Guillorme to pinch hit for Kevin Pillar, who’s been a [...]
