Here on the final day of the regular season, the Mets are 14th in the National League with a .676 OPS with RISP. The average NL team has a triple slash line of .256/.341/.415 while the Mets check in with a .225/.305/.372 line. It’s pretty amazing that they’ve made the playoffs with those numbers. But [...]
The Mets are going to the playoffs for the second consecutive season, as they edged the Phillies, 5-3, Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. It's just the second time in franchise history the club has made the postseason in back-to-back years, joining the 1999-2000 club. Today's win means the Mets will host the Wild Card game on [...]

There's a long history of Phillies players, announcers, and fans wanting to stick it to the blue and orange. This is a bad team for sure, [...]

The Mets defeated the Marlins 5-2 in Miami tonight, taking the rubber game of the series. Seth Lugo got the start in this one, and he was very Lugo-like again. He gave up two runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts. He worked in and out of trouble all night, living up [...]
