The Mets are on their best hot streak of the year, having won 15 of their last 19 games. Back in 2011, after the conclusion of that season, I wrote an article about the top 10 hot streaks in team history. That article is getting some views now, so it seems like a good time [...]
In 2016, the Mets had high hopes of riding their pitching staff back to the World Series. With a starting five of Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Bartolo Colon with Zack Wheeler expected to return in June, the team had every reason to be optimistic. The 43-year-old Bartolo Colon has been [...]
That's what you call a team win. The Mets came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Braves 6-4 in Atlanta to start the three-game series. The win, the Mets' sixth in a row, keeps them at least ahead for the second wild card, possibly even the first, pending the outcome of the Giants-Diamondbacks [...]
Here we are in the home stretch and right in the thick of things. This season has, in no way, gone the way management, players or fans could have expected. We could probably assemble a team from our disabled list (if, magically, they were all healthy) that could beat our current team. Yet somehow, we [...]
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has signed a minor league contract with the Mets organization. No, it's not April Fool's Day an no, this isn't an Onion article. The Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida star turned Denver Broncos and NY Jets flop has set his sites on a second career as a pro [...]
The Mets hit a lot of home runs and the pitching staff for the Reds is on a pace to establish the record for most homers allowed in a single season. It was a match that looked great on paper and did not disappoint in real life, as New York clubbed nine homers in the [...]
Noah Syndergaard tried his damnedest to give the Cincinnati Reds this game. Apparently, they didn't want it. The Mets ran their latest winning streak to five games and their current run to 14 of 18 with a sweep in the Queen City. Syndergaard pitched five hair-raising innings, surrendering six hits, four walks and no runs, [...]
James Loney, simply put, is a below average baseball player. He started a promising major league career in 2006 (albeit in just 102 at bats) and followed it up with an even more impressive season in 2007 as a 23 year old. He showed offensive skills well better than most first basemen in the game [...]
The Mets continued their winning ways and their two year dominance over the Reds with a 5-3 win. This time they did it on the strength of a sturdy bullpen and four home runs. Yoenis Cespedes provided the big blow with a lead-changing two run-home run in the seventh inning. Curtis Granderson, Jose Reyes and Alejandro [...]
