WHO WON: Clayton Kershaw and his other 8 pals in gray jerseys (I guess the Mets too, but in a weird ‘never have to face Kershaw again in the 2016 regular season’ kind of way) WHAT HAPPENED, AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE MEETS FIVE TOTALLY MOVABLE OBJECTS: For the second time this season, the Mets had the…we’ll […]

Game recap May 27: To love and hate and everything in between
WHO WON: The cool-looking, ’86 retro Mets WHAT HAPPENED, I HATE BASEBALL: Honestly, I do. You think you’ve seen everything and you think that everything makes sense. You think that, then your closer enters the game with a four run lead. You go to the kitchen to grab a drink. You say, “Ahh, nothing like […]
Game recap May 15: Mets swept by Rockies as bats can’t rally
WHO WON: The purple-striped, mountain-themed not Mets WHAT HAPPENED, JACOB DEGROM: Jacob deGrom had one of those starts where he wasn’t at peak deGrominance, but he wasn’t terrible.

WHO WON: The Blue and Gray Metropolitans WHAT HAPPENED, THE RETURN OF THE ONE CALLED JACOB DEGROM: Over the course of the last two weeks, baseball was likely the last thing on Jacob deGrom’s mind. After stepping away for 12 days due to his son’s health complications, the righty rejoined the team to start the […]
Game recap April 17: The Mets are pretty good at baseball
Who Won: The Gray and Blue Hatted Mets What Happened, A Tale of Two Innings: Did you watch the first two innings of this one? Good, then you’ve already gotten the basic gist of how Game 11 went. It felt as if the Mets had decided to go golfing on this fine Sunday. By that, […]
Game recap April 3: Cespedes error haunts Mets, bats falter in 4-3 loss to Royals
Who Won: The Off-Shade Blue and Gold Not Mets What Happened, Pitching: For starters, Matt Harvey had one of those days at the office. You know, one of those days when you do everything you can to succeed, but the powers that be have other ideas. One of those days when you watch a seemingly-routine fly ball fall […]
