Chris is scheduled for the Gut Reaction
In the book Prodigy by Marie Lu, there is a line that reads “June will break your heart. I can see it already. She’ll shatter you into a million pieces.” For the New York Mets, no saying could ring anymore true. The Mets finished the month 10-18, by far their worst month of the season. [...]

A little less than a month ago, the Mets and Yankees played a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, the second game of which featured a pounding of Yankee starter James Paxton. This intra-city rite of summer picked up again tonight at Citi Field, with the Mets hoping to repeat that performance. They'd send Zack Wheeler to [...]
