As I write this, the Mets are doing their dead-level best to lose three out of three games to the Miami Marlins. Yeah, the “We traded away everybody on our team except for Giancarlo Stanton” Marlins. The team that went almost the entire month of April before winning a series Marlins. Those guys. As I’ve [...] more... On this past week’s edition of SNY’s Hot Stove, Mets’ General Manager Sandy Alderson made some comments that the majority of Mets fans (myself included) agree with wholeheartedly- he is not comfortable with Frank Francisco as the team’s closer heading into 2013. Regarding the topic of the bullpen and Francisco, Alderson had this to say: [...] more... Earlier this week the Mets signed RHP Scott Atchison to a minor league contract that comes with an invite to spring training. In 42 relief appearances the 36 year old went 2-1 while pitching to an impressive 1.58 ERA in 51 1/3 innings. He ranked 4th best among pitchers with at least 50 innings, striking [...] more... This just in Mets fans, if the season started tomorrow, the Mets’ outfield would be pretty bad. And that’s putting it lightly. As of right now, there is no outfield set in stone, but Lucas Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Mike Baxter and even Justin Turner and Zach Lutz are all possible candidates to be roaming Citi [...] more... 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... What outfield? That’s what Sandy Alderson said. It’s one thing for fans to joke and poke fun at the mess that is the Mets. But for the team’s GM to continually joke about it is no laughing matter. Sandy Alderson has gone on record various times making fun of the current Mets standing of being [...] more... With 2012 behind us and an upcoming season that’s tough to look forward to, Mets fans haven’t been shy in expressing their expectations for 2013. Throughout the social platforms, one thing is loud and clear. Expectations are comical to say the least. Posted below are some funny and interesting comments from fans found on following [...] more... R.A Dickey is pissed, and we don’t blame him. It’s one thing to not have the financial flexibility to sign a player, it’s another thing to undeservedly and blatantly disrespect one of the most stand-up players on your team. If the Mets are not blatantly disrespecting R.A. Dickey, then it’s clear they have no clue [...] more... 
The Mets are certainly saying the right things in reference to retaining David Wright and RA Dickey for an extension. The question is, will their actions match their words? Or is what they’re saying just a dog-and-pony show giving fans false hope like last year? In case we need to be reminded, about one year [...] more... 
Sandy speaks! To a group of season ticket holders that is. It’s fitting as the Mets desperately need these season ticket holders to renew their seats. Heck, they need to do everything they can to make sure anyone that anyone listening comes to Citi Field in 2013. Not an easy task when the team is [...] more...
