The comeback kids did it again! After following up yesterday’s final seven innings without a run, the Mets went eight innings scoreless in this game. But they came thru with a four-run ninth inning against the Brewers' closer, highlighted by a 3-run homer by Pete Alonso, and emerged with a 4-2 victory, which gave them [...]
It’s sobering to contemplate that the 2024 season may end later tonight. This team, one that very few thought was going to make many waves this season, has given me a lot of joy. Sure, it was a miserable start to the year, followed by a month of May that would look at home among [...]
The Brewers hit three home runs, two of which came in the eighth inning. The Mets were held homerless for the second straight game. The end result was a 5-3 loss for the Mets Wednesday night in Milwaukee. The series is now tied 1-1, with the rubber game scheduled for 8:30 p.m. One thing that [...]

Coming into this Wild Card series, the thought was that where the Mets had the edge was with power. So, of course, the Mets put up eight runs without a homer. In a game that featured two comebacks by the Mets, they emerged with an 8-4 win over the Brewers and a 1-0 lead in [...]
In the most important game of the season, Francisco Lindor came thru when it mattered most. The Mets entered the eighth inning trailing by three runs and Lindor had an RBI single which made it 3-2 and he later scored on a shallow SF, which put the Mets ahead, 4-3. Then after the Mets gave [...]
The Mets got blanked in the final game of the regular season but given they won Game #161, few people outside of Arizona are very upset. While it would have been nice to win and knock the Braves out of the playoffs, the important thing was no one got hurt in the 3-0 loss. The [...]
The Mets are in the playoffs!!! A six-run eighth inning gave the Mets the lead. But they gave up four runs in the bottom of the frame to trail by a run. It seemed like another brutal ending for the Mets. But Starling Marte hit a single up the middle and Francisco Lindor delivered a [...]
Here we sit, waiting on the next to last game of the season, or perhaps the last game of the season. Should the Mets win one of the two games played today, they will make the 2024 Postseason. Should they win both games, they will sweep the Atlanta Braves out of the post-season. On the [...]
The Mets broke two bad streaks in what was supposed to be the final game of the year. They finally scored more than two runs on a Sunday and they earned their first win this year over the Brewers, as they emerged with a 5-0 victory for their 88th win of the season. Unfortunately, the [...]
There’s nothing like a three-game losing streak at the end of the season with the playoffs on the line to make one start questioning everything and turn oneself into a philosopher. If you were to tag my personal philosophy, Existentialism would be as good of a label as any. Wikipedia describes Existentialism thusly: Existentialism is [...]
The Brewers went with a bullpen game. The Mets responded with a total of two hits. The end result was a 6-0 loss Saturday night in Milwaukee. The Brewers are now 11-1 against the Mets since the start of the 2023 season. A month or two ago, it was pointed out how the Brewers owned [...]
