Am I Going to Opening Day?
Short Answer: Maybe. Let me Explain. I’ve gone to Opening Day in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The last five times I’ve gone, the Mets have won. In addition, I’ve gone to the final home game of the season in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, all of which we’ve won. Now,…

MetsPlus featured on C70’s Playing Pepper
Every year since 2009, my friends over at Cardinals Conclave have been doing a series called “playing pepper”. The name holds some historical importance to me, as long-time readers of this blog might remember that the original name of this blog was “Pepper: MLB Blog” and later “Pepper Mets Blog”, before becoming “MetsPlus” in 2015.…

PATHETIC: 25 MLB Games to be Shown Exclusively on… Facebook?!?!

WATCH: 1986 World Series Game 6
Leading 5-4 in the 10th inning, just one out away from their first Championship since 1918, the Red Sox (much to the frenzied delight of the Shea Stadium crowd) watch it all roll slowly away from them… literally. Bob Stanley’s wild pitch allows Kevin Mitchell to score the tying run. Then, on the final pitch…

WATCH: Mike Piazza Angry Over….. Italian Rent?
This is one of the stranger video’s I’ve seen. The video, which features Mike Piazza, the owner of the AC Reggiana, a low-level Italian football (soccer) club, getting quite heated during a press conference, as he discusses the abnormal rent and un-fair criticism from the locals and from the local government, including the mayor. Watch the…

You a Mets fan?” Me: “Yeah, I’ve been a Mets fan all my life, how about yourself?” Random Guy: “Eh, yeah, my father was a…

#MetsPlus360: Matinee at First Data Field
Baseball is here, and I’ve witnessed it! The exhibition version, at least. Another year of Spring Training has come, and Mets fans have flocked down to Port St. Lucie, at the newly renamed First Data Field, in it’s last year before a massive remodeling that is planned. Getting There: Unfortunately, the only way to get…

I’m In Florida for Spring Training, but There is a Caveat…..
….. I’m sick. And it’s a shame too. I’m thinking back at all those Winter days where I had nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs, when I was 100% healthy, and now, when I want to enjoy the warm air and the breeze, I’ll be watching the game under the weather. Of course, I…

Club Mets 2018 Memberships Available
Since 2016, I’ve been a Club Mets member. The membership has cost $19 since I joined, and while there are a lot of pointless benefits, you do get two complementary tickets for any non-Saturday non-Opening Day game. So, if you use the ticket voucher wisely, that easily negates the $19 price tag, so a membership,…

WATCH: Johan Santana Pitches a Shutout in the Penultimate Game at Shea
Leaving David Wright out of the equation, there is no one that I wish we would’ve seen more of than Johan Santana. The lefty ace, who is responsible for the Mets lone no-hitter, a warm June night in 2012, is still a cult hero in New York, and in Minneapolis, where he pitched for the…
