It would be too easy to overreact with disgust after watching last night’s game. Max Scherzer was absolutely dominant (as we all know by now). Granted it may not have been the starting lineup, but it is a pretty dismal performance when you are one error away from having a perfect game tossed against you. [...]
What else can you say about this game except, congratulations Max Scherzer. That was one of the most dominating pitching performances that has ever taken place in the history of baseball. It only took 109 pitches for him to complete the no-hitter, and in doing so struck out 17 batters. Were it not for a [...]
Call me crazy, but I always like to a see a team entering the postseason on a hot streak, not losing their last four games. The Mets had only five hits today, and managed only one run, as Noah Syndergaard was absolutely brilliant. He struck out 10, walked one, and the only blemish on his [...]

As our storied regular season comes to a close, we have a looming showdown with the three-time National League West champion L.A. Dodgers. Clearly, after winning the division the last three years, and on their way to finishing with 90-plus wins again, the Dodgers have proven themselves to be a formidable opponent. Like the Mets, [...]
The eagle landed yesterday. Your intrepid columnist had received an e-mail before the weekend that his tickets for the Mets’ postseason – it’s still hard to believe the words “Mets” and “postseason” are strung together this year – series had been shipped. Possession of a partial season plan – nine Friday nights, plus Opening Day [...]
