When you start the year losing your first five games, you can’t complain about winning the seventh game ugly. The Mets played just good enough to emerge with a 3-2 win over the Reds Friday night in Cincinnati. The Mets came into the contest averaging just 2.17 runs per game, which was 28th in the [...]
Back in the middle of March, there was a piece here called, "Jose Butto should be in the rotation over Adrian Houser." It was a good piece because it was a real opinion backed up with facts. Additionally, it was something just about no one was saying and even fewer were writing. Of course, even [...]

From 4/19-4/23 and again on 7/15-7/19 and once more on 9/15-9/18, the Braves lost four straight games. Of course, it helped when they [...]
It’s hard to decide which one was more brutal – the Mets fielding in the 10th inning or their hitting throughout the game.
