Traditionally, Memorial Day is when it’s “okay” to check the Major League standings. Well, Memorial Day is upon us, and if you’re a fan of the Mets, you may want to look away. There have been bright spots – including hot starts out of Matt Harvey, David Wright, Daniel Murphy and the lightly-used Bobby Parnell [...] more... “The Mets are a season-high 10 games below .500, at 17-27. Predictably, they are going nowhere, slipping into irrelevance before Memorial Day. If they had a compelling replacement for Davis, it might make sense to send him down. They do not.” – Tyler Kepner, New York Times (May 22) In fact, the Mets do have [...] more... The Mets had themselves a solid weekend on the North Side of Chicago, as they won two out of three games at Wrigley Field versus the Cubs. They have won three of their last five overall after losing six consecutive games against the Cardinals and the Pirates. While the Mets are finally may have gotten [...] more... An underplayed story this off-season for the Mets was the relocation of their Triple-A affiliate to Las Vegas. While under normal circumstances the move from dreary Buffalo to the Sin City would be considered the opportunity of a lifetime, it actually has the potential to be a hindrance to the Mets if they are not [...] more... The New York Mets, at 12-15 (not counting Sunday’s game), certainly have had their problems in the early going. However, one thing that has been a pleasant surprise from the boys in orange and blue is their power output so far in 2013. At 32 home runs through 27 games, the Metropolitans currently have the fifth [...] more... The weather was cold, but the bats were hot this weekend as the New York Mets defeated the Minnesota Twins twice in as many games. Sunday’s game was postponed due to inclement wintry weather, and will be made up August 19th. Friday night, the Mets got rolling early and never looked back. After scoring five [...] more... The Knicks are about to clinch a division title. The Jets may trade their best player in Darelle Revis. My response to these headlines? Who the f@!# cares!!! There should be one thing and only one thing on true New York sports fans minds right now. Baseball is back baby!!! So no one outside of [...] more... The Mets are a little late to this Harlem Shake party releasing their own version as the ‘Citi Field Shake’ earlier this week. We’re a little late in posting this though who cares, it’s still funny, kind of. The video stars who else, the Mets mascot, errrrrr we mean PR clown, Jay Horowitz. I mean [...] more... 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... The worse outfield in major league baseball, so they say. Well not on Opening Day at least. With unproven Collin Cowgill manning center field, cast off Marlon Byrd in right, and hacksaw Lucas Duda in left, the Mets outfield situation is looking like a major weak spot heading into the season. Unproven Collin Cowgill, in [...] more...
