Stop, Wheeler time!

So as most people predicted, the Mets have sucked this year.  As of this writing they are 20-29 and so many players are struggling that it’s hard to see it getting any better soon.  Ike Davis has struggled mightily with constant talks of demotion, Ruben Tejada forgot how to hit, and so on and so [...] more...

Offense Fails Harvey’s Gem

As we all know, Matt Harvey has been an absolute beast this season.  You can even make the case that he has been the best pitcher in baseball, or at least in the top 5.  He has excellent command of his pitches, throws hard, and has the mentality of a seasoned ace. Last night, Harvey [...] more...

Matt Harvey: The Face of a Gamer

Matt Harvey has electric stuff, there’s no doubt about that.  His average fastball velocity is among the best of NL starters, and his vicious slider is making hitters look foolish.  He’s already showing complete dominance but what’s scary is that I truly think he’s going to keep getting better.  Not because of his physical gifts [...] more...

Flashback Friday:Part 2

This past Friday night was the epic showdown of Matt Harvey against Stephen Strasburg.  I had the privilege of going to the game to witness it firsthand, as the chance to watch two young studs was too good to pass up. Harvey was absolutely dominate, only giving up one run over 7 strong innings.  His [...] more...

Opening Day’s a Charm

I had the privilege of attending Mets opening day thanks to a friend with box seats.  The seats were great, the weather was fairly nice at the start, and it was my first opening day game ever. The Mets looked impressive.  The defense was solid, as David Wright made a few nice plays. Jonathan Niese pitched great, limiting [...] more...

A Tiny Bit of Light

Is it me, or are the Mets giving us a little something to get excited about?  I must stress the “little” part, as I have learned over the years to avoid getting too excited about the team’s prospects.  Being born in the latter part of the 80′s, I’ve only been able to celebrate one division [...] more...

Realistic v Nonrealistic Mets Fans Expectations

At the start of every season, fans dream about what their team can do.  Some of the dreams are realistic, some are not. How realistic, (or not realistic) are the following scenarios to happen? Scenario 1: David Wright repeats last season’s performance.  I say realistic.  David Wright’s 2011 was an aberration and he worked extremely [...] more...

Low-Risk High-Reward for Shaun Marcum

Shaun Marcum has signed a one year deal with the New York Mets, pending a physical.  This is the type of move that can pay enormous dividends and further showcases Sandy Alderson’s brilliance. Shaun Marcum has a career 3.76 ERA and has spent about half of his career in the challenging American League East pitching [...] more...

The Future in Flushing is Bright

The Mets have a trio of young pitchers that should get Mets fans excited about the future.  2013 is going to be a year of rebuild, especially considering Dickey was traded and has yet to be replaced.  Hard to imagine a team being better without a Cy Young winner, but Sandy Alderson, the Mets general manager, has been [...] more...
