The Mets entered the 2016 draft with four picks in the first one hundred. The Met farm system has produced some great pitching over the past few years but had no more Matt Harvey’s, Zack Wheeler’s, Jacob deGrom’s, Noah Syndergaard’s or Steven Matz’ to offer up. While the farm does still boast a number of [...]
Our starting third baseman, first baseman and catcher are all on the DL at the same time. None of the three were having very good seasons prior to their injuries, we have experienced backups in place, and they should all be back by the All-Star break at latest. Surely the drop off from David Wright-Lucas [...]
On draft day, the Mets took the opening game of their four game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee. Bartolo Colon continues to be an ageless wonder who gets it done with smoke, mirrors, and maybe a little black magic. He went seven innings while allowing eight hits but just one earned run. Of course, [...]
Even in the best of times, baseball fans can experience the worst of times. Last season was one of the best for Mets fans, but if you’ll recall late-July, it wasn’t looking so hot. This stretch has been made famous in story and song – a highly recommended purchase is the book Amazin’ Again, by [...]
The Mets avoided being swept at Pittsburgh and ended their two-year losing streak against the Pirates with a tumultuous 6-5 victory. Noah Syndergaard allowed two earned runs in 6 innings of what was a solid, but very un-Thor like outing. The first of two fielding errors by Neil Walker (perhaps nervous in front of his [...]
The Mets added a veteran bat by once again turning to the Braves and acquiring Kelly Johnson, just like they did a year ago. The cost this time was Akeel Morris, a minor league reliever. Morris was on the 40-man roster, so no need to create a spot for Johnson there. But a 25-man roster [...]
While it is quite an amazing skill for a person to make solid contact with a bat on a quickly moving, often darting, ball it is even more impressive when the batter can do it from either side of the plate. A pejorative term sometimes used in politics is RINO which stands for Republican In [...]

It was not a good day in Mets-land, as the Mets dropped both games of their twi-night doubleheader against the Pirates. Game 1: Pirates 3, Mets 1 Steven Matz started this one for the Mets. While he wasn't great, he certainly pitched well enough to win. He threw only five innings with eight hits, two [...]
We'll use the same Chatter for both games
