  • Mets rained out, Day-Night tommorow

    One of my favorite things about baseball are doubleheaders. Honestly, there is nothing more exciting then knowing that you can make up two games in one day. Even though the Mets split the only other doubleheader this year (May 25th vs D-Backs), almost every doubleheader seems to go this way: dramatic finish in game 1,…

  • Who’s sticking around with the club next year? This guy…. And .. Well… This other guy….

    Today, the Mets extended the contract of Mets GM Sandy Alderson, who since being brought on in 2011, has watched the Mets complete 3 losing seasons, and may (but hopefully not) witness a fourth this year. Regardless, Sandy is given credit for rejuvenating the farm system and producing home grown talent that will be ready…

  • Wilfredo Tovar will be in uniform for tonight’s game

    If you watched late September baseball last year, you might remember young Wilfredo Tovar. Tovar appeared in 7 games last year for the Mets, and will be playing a maximum of 6 games this year. Tovar has a short stroke, no power and very little line drive power. Tovar earns his two cents from his…

  • Injury plagued Mets shuffle infield

    Who would have thought that a MLB team has a very limited bench in late September? Seems un-heard of right? Well, not for the New York Mets, who actually have had a remarkably good year. I mean considering we never won a game versus the Nats, we didn’t have the real David Wright, a sub-par…

  • Mets officially eliminated from Postseason contention

    Terry Collins wasn’t all smiles after yesterday’s shutout victory over the Braves. “We didn’t accomplish what we wanted to..” said Collins, who had long preached that meaningful September games were around the corner, and for a while, he had a valid point. Before the 9/11 game, the Mets were 5.5 games out of the second…

  • 11 Questions with Mets in-game host Branden Wellington

One of the best new features that the Mets have introduced are permanent in-game hosts. These guys energize the crowd and make a Mets game 10x more enjoyable! One of the Mets in-game hosts,…

  • Andrew Brown isn’t getting called up

    For those of you who remeber Opening Day, you might remember the first of the three Met home runs on the day was a 3 run blast from Andrew Brown. Brown’s forte has always been his power, something the Mets have been deprived of, and he is on the 40 man roster. It’s strange to…

  • In-Game: deGrom makes deHistory

    Jacob deGrom became the first rookie pitcher to start the game with 8 consecutive strikeouts. The only other pitcher to do this was then-veteran Jim Deshaies with the ’86 Astros. Congrats to ROY candidate Jacob deGrom

  • Marlins vs Mets preview

    The Marlins face the Mets in a 3 game series. The Mets will need to go 9-3 to reach 500. Jordany Valdespin makes his return to Queens. Valdespin did not appear when the Mets face the fish on Labor Day weekend. He is batting #7th on today’s Marlins lineup. Jake deGrom makes another start tonight…
