As of this morning, the Mets' record stands at 36-30. They're in second place in the NL East, six full games behind the Nationals. It's not where we hoped the team would be at this point in the season, to say the least. The team has been dealing with under-performance, and the injuries are reminiscent [...]
The Mets lost the opening game of their three-game series against the Braves tonight at Citi Field, 5-1. It was not a happy Matt Harvey day. He went six innings and gave up seven hits with four earned runs against the worst offense in baseball, though that offense was pretty aggressive early in counts against [...]
The Mets are starting to resemble a MASH unit, or at least the 2009 Mets - you know the team that relied on a late career Fernando Tatis to play every position but pitcher and catcher. It's getting hard to keep track as there are now more Mets regulars on the DL than there are [...]
The Mets took the rubber game of the home 3-game series, beating the Pirates 6-4 behind another terrific pitching outing from the ageless Bartolo Colon.

He also spent some time in minor league organizations of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Senators. His first pro season was in 1961, when he split time [...]
We are just a shade past the 62-game mark in this 2016 season, which means there are still 99 left to play. 99 games over the next, roughly, 110 days. The Mets right now find themselves five games behind the NL East leading Washington Nationals. While many would say it’s a little early to be [...]
Of course it had to go this way. Of course. Sometimes, baseball is a completely illogical game. The Mets came into this game starving for runs, hoping Noah Syndergaard could hoist them onto his strong back and eke out a win. There was to be no mere eking tonight, though. Manager Terry Collins had to [...]
There was a little girl, And she had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good She was very, very good, And when she was bad she was horrid. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) Who says there’s no culture in the baseball blogosphere? The first domino to tip over was [...]
