It feels like the third or fourth year in a row I've written this piece. The Mets have hit a rough patch and fans are despondent. It's a familiar refrain - the crushing disappointment of injuries, underperformance, losses, and clubhouse drama while the crosstown Yankees are tearing it up and some of our division rivals [...]
It's been another rollercoaster ride for Mets fans this week - lopsided wins and losses, rain outs, injuries and Keith's tweets. This weekend feels like a good time to get things turned around. Hopefully, the weather cooperates. Three games at home against the Diamondbacks with deGrom pitching the opener and Syndergaard closing it out. Let's [...]
Back in the early 80s, when Dale Murphy was one of the best players in the game, my brother had him on his fantasy team and thought he was the greatest. Looking to take him down a peg, I told him – you get to 0-2 on Murphy and throw him a curve out of [...]
On a damp day in Flushing, Queens, the Mets got romped by the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, 12-1. After putting a 12 spot on the visitors last night, the Mets were considerate enough to allow the Blue Jays to do the same to them today. Zack Wheeler was the starter today for the Mets, and [...]

Taking the mound for the Mets very fittingly was Noah Syndergaard, [...]
The Mets have two starting pitchers, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom, who have been solid performers this year. They have two pitchers, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler, who have been roughed up some but have looked better in their most recent starts. Then there is the fifth starter, Jason Vargas, who has had a dreadful [...]
When Travis d’Arnaud was injured and wound up out for the season, few people were surprised. The timing could not have been worse for the Mets who lost Kevin Plawecki to another injury and have not gotten him back as of yet. This sent Sandy Alderson to the bargain basement looking for spare parts and, [...]

The Phillies used a three-run sixth inning to claim a 4-2 win over the Mets Sunday in a game delayed at the start by rain. The game marked the return of Jacob deGrom but the Mets hardly got a vintage version of their ace. He needed 45 pitches to escape the first inning and did [...]
