Slugger Donn Clendenon and light-hitting Al Weis each homered to back the five-hit pitching of Jerry Koosman as the “Miracle Mets” closed out their first-ever World Series championship with a 5-3 victory over the heavily favored Orioles. While I never saw this game, I’ve watched it plenty of times. This game is special in a…

deGrom was great yesterday through 7.2 innings, while only giving up one run and getting his ERA down to 1.98, which is second best behind Zack Grenkie. deGrom’s only blemish was a home run to Geraldo Parra, who almost hit a second home run off Tyler Clippard in the eighth inning. Curtis Granderson hit a…

For every monday home game the last two years, the Mets have worn their “digital camouflage” alternate jerseys on all mondays. The two exceptions were Opening Day of both last year and this year, during which the Mets sported their pinstripes, which they always do during the home opener. Yesterday, however, the Mets came up…

Despite being up 1.5 games entering play yesterday, this was an important game for the Mets. They had dropped two tough games in a row and they needed to re-bound quick. Niese pitched three great innings, people were hoping that he would throw a complete game. Then Niese had his bad inning. First pitch single.…
