Primer Yup, we’re still here, for whatever reason. Zack Wheeler took the mound against Joe Musgrove mere hours after Jacob deGrom got screwed out of yet another win. Austin Jackson was getting the start in FF because the recently resurgent Michael Conforto has a sore thumb, leaving us less than optimistic for a better offensive […]

Game recap July 27: Deep Freese
David Freese will forever be a known name in Mets lore after his strikeout completed Johan Santana’s 2012 no-hitter, but on Friday night, the veteran extracted a little bit of revenge against the boys in orange and blue. In New York’s 5-4 loss in Pittsburgh the veteran right handed hitter drove in all five Pirates’ runs, […]
Game recap July 20: A second half team
Noah Syndergaard held the potent Yankees offense to only one run, Yoenis Cespedes had two hits including a home run and Michael Conforto drove in three runs during Friday night’s series opener with the Yankees. In a lot of ways, this game was everything the Mets envisioned could be routine when they broke camp in […]
Game recap July 13: That’s more like it
While trade rumors continue to swirl around the Mets’ pitching staff, Noah Syndergaard’s return from a lengthy DL stint gave the club a glimpse of why they should potentially not deal from their only strength. Syndergaard wasn’t quite dominant, but he was plenty good enough Friday night, limiting the Nationals to only one run across […]
Game recap July 9: The Enigma
Mets 4, Phillies 3 During any given start, Zack Wheeler can look like the ace many projected him to be once upon a time. The problem though is that during any given start, Zack Wheeler can also look like a backend starter that should be moved to the bullpen. The 6’4 right-hander is an enigma, […]
Game recap July 4: Jose, Can You See?
It’s cool when the Mets prove they can actually win a game once in a while. The Mets defeated the Blue Jays last night by a score of 6-3, for just their seventh victory in their last 30 games. Apparently, wins are so rare for the Mets nowadays that they now call for firework celebrations —or at […]
Game Recap June 25: Yikes
The score of the game may have been 6-4, but it really didn’t feel all that close. Unfortunately for Seth Lugo, who had been superb previous to his last two starts, he could not will his team to victory despite allowing one earned run. Sure-handed middle infielder – yes, that’s right, I said middle infielder […]
Game Recap June 20: This park is stupid
Coors Field, in theory, is a lot of fun. It’s a place where the baseball magically flies further, with dingers all over the place and double-digit run totals all the time. It’s extra-base hit galore, and every home run goes 450 feet. It’s like some kid messed with the settings on a video game. It’s a mythical […]
Game recap June 15: Things keep going from worse to worse
The Mets collective asses remain in the jackpot. As astonishingly terrible as things have been going for the Mets, what is equally shocking is just how long their complete offensive inadequacy has gone on. We’ve been watching this story for about six weeks now, and this team is just entirely incapable of getting out of […]
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 […]
