Originally posted on Justice4U: If you had tapped Terry Collins on the shoulder in Spring Training and told him how it would play out, he surely never would have guessed that his Mets would still be nicely position to return to the postseason on Labor Day. To revisit: The Mets do not have David Wright,…

Thanks a lot MLB. You guys really screwed up this time. CONFIRMED: All #MLB clubs adding the New Era logo to their on-field caps, deal begins with 2016 Postseason Details: https://t.co/zwmxf8TyzB pic.twitter.com/v5kTWTLyq1 — SportsLogos.Net (@sportslogosnet) September 19, 2016 If someone could tell me how to embed GIFs into WordPress, I’d really appreciate it, because I’d…

Or any time soon for that matter: Alderson said deGrom will be shut down for the season. Likely to have ulnar nerve surgery on right elbow. @Mets — Barry M. Bloom (@Boomskie) September 17, 2016 I’m a huge Jacob deGrom fan, and this news is really depressing. I was hoping that deGrom was going to…

Jacob will try to do something Sunday he hasn’t been able to do since August 13th: Have an acceptable start. Acceptable is very vague, but in my eyes, 5 innings pitched with three or less runs is an “acceptable” start. Unfortunately, deGrom has really struggled in the last month. He’s lost velocity, had high pitch…

Originally posted on MLB.com Blogs Central: Major League Baseball has just introduced a major new award, and this one’s for you. In fact, there’s even at least one father-son duo from this MLB.com/blogs family among the 120 nominees. See my story just posted at MLB.com introducing MLB Fans of the Year presented by Esurance.…

I’ve actively rooted hard for five people in the Mets organization since I became a fan in 2006: R.A Dickey, for being a great family guy trying to figure out a lifelong mission. Daniel Murphy, for being one of my favorite players that I wanted to see play day in and day out. David Wright,…

Since 2014, I have been blogging here on the MLB.com Blogs page. I wanted MetsPlus, or, Pepper Mets Blog at the time, to be something I do whenever I have the time to blog, and to be something fun that I can share with my family and friends, and to be able to look back at it when…

Here’s a look at the latest standings, figures and odds for the Mets and the Postseason. First, here’s a look at the National League Eastern Division Standings: As you can see, Washington has this division locked up. There hasn’t been much movement in the division, and it would be highly un-likely for Washington to fall…

I was reading an article from one of my favorite, satirical Mets Bloggers, Shannon Shark, from MetsPolice.com, where he explains that a team that makes the Wild Card isn’t really a “playoff” team: The 2016 Mets are like a team that’s trying to get the eight seed in the NHL playoffs.  Not really that good,…

Professional comedian Steve Hofstetter was at a Mets game a few days ago, and like he usually does, he did something routine with a comedic twist. This time, Hofstetter teased Mets fans with things like season tickets and a vacation with Bartolo Colon, and the only caveat was that they had to answer three questions correctly. Check…
