“Those days are gone. Pitchers aren’t meant to go deep.” – Ron Darling during Monday’s SNY telecast of Braves & Mets. As all of you may know, Matt Harvey was pulled during the sunday night Subway Series matchup after the fifth inning with the Mets leading 1-0, after which the Mets bullpen blew the game…

deGrom hasn’t been good lately. Neither has Harvey, or Syndergaard. Even Matz hasn’t been “spectacular”. And the other guys? Niese and Colon? Consistently inconsistent. And, to make matters worse, every critic wants to shut down the young guys. Buy and large, the Mets pitching staff is not having it’s most impressive month, but maybe that’s…

I remember it well. Too well. Game 162 of 2007. The day after John Maine’s near no-hitter, a bench clearing brawl, and Lastings Milledge’s big day. It was a one o’clock start, and Tom Glavine was on the mound. I guess it was because I was so young, but I didn’t comprehend the magnitude of…

While the fact that the Mets can clinch in a few series is very cool, we can’t help but project when that might happen. It’s no secret that the Mets would love to clinch at home. It’s extremely unlikely that they are going to clinch in the final home stand, which consists of only one…

The Mets have a 9.5 game lead on September 13th. You don’t know how long I’ve waited to say that to anyone. It’s so fun to hear professional analysts predict the Mets as National League Champions. This is the year we’ve all been waiting for, all of the struggles and pitiful seasons over. I really…

You know which home run I’m talking about. 9/21/2001. The home run that “lifted” New York. I was to young to remember the game, which is a shame, because from watching it on replay, I get goosebumps. If you have any story or re-collection, feel free to share in the comments section below. Now, without…

A 307 batting average, 13 home runs, and 34 runs batted in. Seems like a good season. David Wright would love season numbers like this. Then again, who wouldn’t? Sure, the runs batted in are a little low, but a 307 average and 13 home runs isn’t something to be laughed at. So whose numbers…
