Game recap June 24: In an alternate universe
WHO WON: Not-the-Mets, x6 WHAT HAPPENED, THE REAL GAME: The Mets have not lost six games in a row. Sure, it might seem like the Mets have lost six games in a row. It might feel like they haven’t held an opponent under five runs since June 18. It might appear that the Mets have […]
Game recap June 17: Streakin’
WHO WON: The Sunday Mets, of course!

Game recap June 10: Changes
WHO WON: The……Mets? WHAT HAPPENED, THE TODD FATHER: It’s tough to say Luis Severino did not have his best stuff on Sunday. Sure he didn’t throw a clean inning, but that might be more of a credit to a Mets lineup that seemed to barely pester the Yankee’s ace. Whether it was Brandon Nimmo and […]
Game recap June 5: No relief in sight
WHO WON: It…wasn’t the Mets WHAT HAPPENED, IT GETS WORSE: If you thought the woes of a 10-18 May would dissipate with a new calendar month, you will not be too pleased to learn that June is and will be much worse. The Mets and Orioles met on Tuesday in ways that only two immovable […]

Game recap May 6: The Ian Desmond Game
WHO WON: The Ian Desmond-led Colorado Rockies WHAT HAPPENED, NOAH SYNDERGAARD DID NOT HAVE A NICE START: The easiest thing to do is to start with the negative. Sept. 7, 2016 was the last time Noah Syndergaard issued four free-passes in one start. In fact, over 68 career big league starts, Syndergaard had walked four […]
Game recap April 29: Sweet Sunday bliss
WHO WON: It was definitely the Mets WHAT HAPPENED, TIME FOR THE NUMBERS: At this point, it seems safe to assume that the Mets did not enjoy getting blown out 12-2 on Saturday. Why is that? Oh, because the Mets tagged the San Diego Padres for 14 runs on 19 hits and seven walks. Every […]
Game recap April 15: Wilmer!
WHO WON: The red-hot Mets WHAT HAPPENED, NOAH SYNDER-GOOD: The real focal point of Sunday’s matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers was Noah Syndergaard. Although this is usually the case whenever Syndergaard takes the mound, for obvious reasons, Sunday was a showcase of spectacular stuff.
