Yesterday's David Wright press conference epitomized the term "bittersweet." After two plus years of surgeries, rehab and set backs, the Mets captain is rejoining the roster on September 25 with plans to start the game on the 29th. His primary motivation for fighting through all the pain was giving his young daughters the chance to [...]
The Mets are embarking on their last road trip of the season against three good teams - the Red Sox, Phillies and Nationals. The Mets have been playing well, but how many of these 10 road games can we expect to win? Sunday is expected to feature a matchup of Jacob deGrom and Chris Sale [...]
It was a successful day for the New York Mets, as they swept the Miami Marlins in a double header,4-3 in the first game and 5-2 in the second game. The first game was one packed with power both on the mound and on the plate. The Mets starter for the game was Steven Matz, [...]
What was supposed to be a double header got relinquished to a five-hour-delayed single game following non-stop rain. Zack Wheeler and the Mets didn't seem to let it phase them though as they blew out the Marlins 13-0. Wheeler pitched one of the best games of his career, tossing eight scoreless innings Other than a [...]
NOTE: Today's posting has to be in the form of a Quick Hitter: I'm in the midst of a move and they're coming to take my computer away in a matter of minutes. Thanks for your understanding. Once the Mets finally got to play last night -- five-and-a-half hours after they were supposed to -- [...]

Not counting the vendors and ushers, it looks like there are barely enough people to fill a classroom in the stands. Presumably, the teams will look to get in one game [...]
Use this for both games of the DH
Michael Conforto has homered in three straight games, two behind the club record of five straight contests, set by Richard Hidalgo back in 2004, when three of them came against the Yankees. Conforto hit his first two against the Phillies and then last night’s blast came against the Marlins. But Conforto’s hot hitting extends further [...]
On a night of solemn ceremony the Mets had their sites set on helping their ace and continuing their late season surge, but the vexing Miami Marlins had other ideas. Jacob deGrom was sensational as usual, but again, his teammates failed to provide enough support for a win. Not only did they only muster one [...]
Earlier this month, against the Dodgers, Todd Frazier made a spectacular non-catch that was ruled a catch. The Mets’ third baseman had raced over to the stands in foul territory while chasing a foul pop fly, and he dove into the stands. Frazier then emerged holding the ball high, and the batter was called out. [...]
