I had the pleasure to attend the Thursday matchup between the Aberdeen Ironbirds (Orioles) and the Brooklyn Cyclones on 6/26 and was able to see some of the talent in the Mets system first hand. I highly recommend going out to MCU park and watching the Cyclones play, it’s a very good time. You’ll even [...]
The trade deadline is moving slowly towards the Mets and it’s safe to say that some things can be claimed as definitive: The pitching staff is fine. Bartolo Colon has provided a nice veteran complement to the young pitching that is making its way either through the system or around the pitfalls and land mines [...]

Tonight, the New York Mets and the Oakland Athletics play game two of a two game series at Citi Field. Last night when former Athletic Bartolo Colon pitched against former Met Scott Kazmir, the Mets beat the A’s 10-1. Tonight, the Mets will look too sweep the series against the A’s, and will send Zack [...]
