This year, the Mets decided to do their fans a favor and tank in June instead of late-July. This way, we can get a jump on our summer plans without having to bother paying attention to a possible pennant race. It certainly warms the heart that 2014 was supposed to be the year and the [...]
There has been talk festering throughout the Mets' blogosphere that the Mets should admit that they are going nowhere fast, swallow their pride and trade David Wright away for prospects while he still has some value. Wait, what? You mean trading the franchise and the effervescent face of the franchise? Well, before we dismiss it [...]
Mets fans, especially those on Twitter, have a fascination with Daniel Murphy. The #ImWith28 movement seems to grow with each and every game, as Murphy is proving to be one of the Mets better hitters. After last night’s game, Murphy is tied with Paul Goldschimidt of Arizona for the National League lead in hits with [...]

Combined with the scheduled off day, Wright had two days to reflect, decompress, chill or whatever it is that pro players do when they're [...]
A few weeks ago, I claimed that Ruben Tejada's time with New York was done. His rather putrid offensive and defensive numbers had been improving only slightly by that article's publishing and there was no realistic indication that those improvements were going to stay. He had rebounded to have a few nice games, but for [...]
In his last 12 games, Savannah third baseman Jeff McNeil has seven multi-hit games and has a .420 AVG and a 1.015 OPS. For the year, McNeil is tied for fourth in the league in batting with a .346 AVG and his .409 OBP places 10th in the loop. McNeil was one of seven Sand [...]
