The Mets’ 2024 season came to an end in Game 6 of the NLCS, as they fell to the Dodgers, 10-5. This year’s World Series will be the one the TV networks wanted, a Dodgers-Yankees battle. The game got off to a good start, with Pete Alonso getting an infield single, which was a hit [...]
Managing to win versus managing to avoid criticism
Making the NLCS, after a brutal opening to the season and at one point being 11 games under .500, is nothing for the New York Mets to sneer at. This Mets team, regardless of the final outcome or destination, has jolted the fan base and has them feeling hopeful that something special is finally starting [...]
Pete Alonso hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Mets took advantage of the early lead to come away with a 12-6 win over the Dodgers Friday afternoon at Citi Field. The team that has scored first has won all five games in the series, which L.A. leads, 3-2. Having staved off [...]
After four games in the NLCS, the Dodgers have a +21-run differential and it seems like they are dominating the Mets. But as bad as it is now, it’s nowhere near the whupping behind the woodshed they laid on the Mets back in 2017. The Dodgers authored a 7-0 sweep of the Mets that season, [...]
The Dodgers executed in the clutch and the Mets didn’t. The Dodgers got great results from their pen and the Mets didn’t. The end result was a 10-2 loss Thursday night at Citi Field. The Mets will try to stave off elimination Friday afternoon, as they trail in the series, three games to one. The [...]
After J.D. Martinez walked in the second inning in Game 3, in the Game Chatter I joked that it wasn’t too early to pinch run for him. Matinez struck out twice after that, looking just as bad as he has since the start of September. Or even earlier than that. Martinez needs to be on [...]
For the second time in three games, the Dodgers pitched a shutout in the NLCS, this time an 8-0 blanking of the Mets Wednesday night at Citi Field. L.A. jumps out to a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Walker Buehler, a one-time ace who had been beset by injuries, was terrific in four innings, [...]

After the Game One thrashing by the Dodgers, the Mets needed to look inward to figure out why it happened. With our own eyes we saw that Kodai Senga had nothing, as evidenced by his lack of control and all the walks that came back to haunt the team. The lack of good pitching by [...]
After getting blown out in Game 1 of the NLCS, the Mets roared back with a not-as-close-as-it-sounds, 7-3 win over the Dodgers in L.A. The Series now moves to New York for the next three games. Francisco Lindor got things off to a great start with a leadoff homer to stake Sean Manaea to an [...]
