In 1969, after the Mets won the World Series a fan stood on the rapidly disappearing Shea Stadium grass with a sign thet read "There Are No Words." Words are failing me right now. Oh, wait, I thought of one: guts. The Mets have won the 2015 NLDS and will now face the Chicago Cubs [...]
The playoffs landed at La Guardia for the first time since 2006. To say that Mets fans the world over were thrilled about this might be the understatement of the year. A hard fought 162-game regular season – which began with an 11-game winning streak and culminated with the dispatch of the Washington Nationals with [...]
Are the Dodgers Punting the NLCS? We weren’t going to be lucky enough to get the Dodgers to not start both Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke starting twice in the five game series. What you have to realize is that if the Dodgers do beat the Mets tonight they are severely handicapped against the Cubs [...]

Editor's Note -- This story was submitted two days ago and only my incompetence kept it from being published in a more timely manner. My apologies, Julian. To begin, Ruben Tejada is not a very good baseball player. Mets fans have ridiculed Tejada for the past half-decade after hitting .270 in four out of his [...]
The Mets didn't need to throw any punches on Monday night. Instead they let their bats do the talking. Against a stony-faced, Ivan Drago-esque Chase Utley and the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets showed what true character is. They glowered determination by immediately rebounding from a rough start, and they displayed an unrelenting desire to [...]
The Mets spotted the Dodgers an early 3-0 lead before coming back to give them the beating they so richly deserved for Saturday night, with a 13-7 thrashing. New York now holds a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series and can clinch a spot in the NLCS with a victory Tuesday night. After giving up [...]
