The Mets have been playing some pretty good ball the past week, don’t you think? Granted, their latest wave of success has been at the expense of two of the NL’s more hapless squads: the decimated Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies at sea level. But hey, there are no style-points in baseball. The NCAA [...]
Earlier this month, Terry Collins announced that Rafael Montero would get at least one more start in the majors this year. True to his word, Collins gave the rookie a start Wednesday night and Montero rewarded his manager with 5.1 scoreless innings and he picked up the win as the Mets swept the Rockies with [...]
When the season began, if I told you that a Mets starting pitcher was in the Rookie of the Year hunt, who would you have guessed? The obvious answers are Rafael Montero and Noah Syndergaard. Well, Montero hasn’t had a good start to his big league career and we will have to wait until next [...]

Gee has had an up-and-down year in 2014, partially to blame by [...]
In their last 13 games, the Mets are 8-5. While they’ve benefited from playing nine games in this stretch against Philadelphia, Miami and Cincinnati, the 2014 club is in no position to turn its nose up when it comes to wins regardless of the quality of the opponent.
