I'd like to add multiple writers for the site. The minimum requirement is one article per month, although you can write more if you wish. You can write about any Mets-specific topic you'd like, although if I write a piece about Brandon Nimmo on Sunday, we don't need another story on him Thursday. Your articles [...]
Beggars can’t be choosers. You’d like to think that with Max Scherzer pitching on a day that the offense scored eight runs, you wouldn’t have to use all four of your best relievers. But that’s what happened. Hey, at least the Mets won, as they downed the D’Backs, 8-5, Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix. It was [...]
One of the main stories of the 2023 Mets is guys who were good for the team last year have been considerably less successful here in the current season. You can probably name the main offenders off the top of your head. But one guy who doesn’t get lumped in with the underachievers but who [...]
Congratulations to Pete Alonso for being selected as the Mets’ representative to the 2023 All-Star game! It’s the third All-Star selection for Alonso, which ties him with Keith Hernandez for most All-Star games by a Mets first baseman.

Another lost season. It’s almost not possible. Heading out of Spring Training there was such hope and optimism – almost certainty – that these Mets would be really good. Contenders for the World Series. A stacked lineup. Wonderful starting pitching. An awesome bullpen. What could go wrong? Everything. We’ll start with Edwin Diaz in the [...]
It took a few innings but the Mets’ offense got untracked and delivered eight runs on 11 hits. And for a change, the pitching bent but did not break. The end result was an 8-4 victory over the Giants, which gave the Mets their first series win since May. The Mets put up crooked numbers [...]
Yesterday our friend ChrisF left a comment that was a good one, not necessarily because I agreed with it but rather because it made me think. Chris said: The fact is this team is wildly imbalanced, way too old, and not staffed enough with really solid baseball players. As a result, its a patchwork of [...]
The Mets got three solo homers in a four-batter stretch in the third inning to back a strong start by Justin Verlander as the Mets gave a double-fisted, one-finger salute to June with a 4-1 win to open July Saturday afternoon against the Giants. Francisco Alvarez got the homer party started and one batter later, [...]
A new month means new luck!
Often times it’s not fair to pin a loss on one player. But as nothing has been fair about this 2023 season for the Mets, we’re going to do just that. This is my list. Your list might have a dozen different names and be just as correct. With that out of the way, here [...]
