Primer Oh boy have the Mets been bad. After finally climbing the hill back to .500, the Mets dropped seven straight to fall 8.5 games back in the division. Matt Harvey has been awful, Robert Gsellman looks like he’s pitching hurt, and Tommy Milone has been underwhelming. The only two bright spots in the rotation, […]

Game recap May 15: Don’t be surprised, don’t be anything
Well, if you had any hopes of the Mets washing away an embarrassing sweep against the Brewers with a victory in Arizona last night, you went to sleep disappointed. The Mets dropped their fifth game in a row after losing to the Diamondbacks 7-3. Panic City seems to be in full effect, as the Amazins’ continue […]
Game recap May 13: Ugly in pink
What Happened, In One Implosion: The Mets gave up a season-high eight runs in the fifth as part of an 11-4 loss to the Brewers. Mets starters now have an MLB-worst 5.13 ERA. Every time I watch Robert Gsellman, I look for signs that he’ll regress to the mean. The young right-hander entered Saturday with […]
Brewers series preview May 12-14
The Mets (16-17) head to Miller Park for a weekend series with the Milwaukee Brewers (18-17), a club that has won three of four and six of its last nine at home. New York wrapped up a homestand where they were one blown save away from a 5-1 record against Miami and San Francisco, considered a […]
Game Recap May 10: Welcome back, Bad Mets
Yesterday at my job, there was nobody around and nothing to do, so I pulled the Mets game up on my phone and watched it for a while. I forgot my phone charger at home, though, so my battery died after the eighth inning. The Mets were winning 3-2 at that time, and, even though […]
Game recap May 9: Righting the ship
Thanks to the media circus following Matt Harvey, one could hardly tell that the Mets are becoming one of the hotter teams in baseball right now. Winning eight of their last 11, including a 6-1 tilt against the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night, the Mets have righted the ship and injected life back into a […]
Game recap May 6: Offensive powerhouse New York Mets
What Happened, In a Sentence The Mets rode five first inning runs to an 11-3 win, but lost Asdrubal Cabrera to a left thumb injury. Mets Start Hot With Wei-Yin Chen out with a tired arm, the Marlins turned to Odrisamer Despaigne to make his first major league start of the season. Despainge was so […]
Game recap April 5: Never say die
I have to say, with Rafael Montero on the mound tonight, I did not have high expectations about this game. Coming into their Cinco de Mayo matchup, the Marlins held a 5-2 edge over the Mets in 2017, with the Amazins’ only real triumph being outlasting the Fish in a 16-inning marathon back in April. […]
Marlins series preview May 5-7
The Mets return home this weekend to host Miami after a successful road trip in Washington and Atlanta where they won four out of six despite continuing to be plagued by injuries, thanks in no small part to a recent offensive outburst. New York was ahead 3-1 in the fourth inning on Thursday night when […]
Game recap May 4: A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
Mets 3, Braves 1, Top 4 (ppd.) Welp, just as things started to get interesting, the weather pulled the plug. As the Mets celebrated their fourth inning rally, the skies over suburban Atlanta opened up at 8:45 p.m., and by 11, it was official: the team would head home and battle the Braves another day. […]
