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 July 1: The Steven Matz Show
WHO WON: The Mets…and Bobby Bonilla WHAT HAPPENED, THE STEVEN MATZ SHOW: Surprises are good. Well, maybe not the surprise itself, but sometimes they can result in good things. Take Steven Matz, for example. In a season which has presented itself as the least entertaining dumpster fire you will surely continue to rubberneck, Matz has […]
Game recap June 30: No Patrick, THIS is rock bottom
Marlins 5, Mets 2 Remember when we thought rock bottom was batting out of order during a little slump? Or calling Dom Smith up for a weekend series against the Phillies, only to give him a single at-bat before sending him down again? Well, I have news for you: This, this right here, this is […]
Game recap June 26: Wilmer Walkoff
On one of the most whirlwind days in recent Mets’ memory, the Amazins rallied late to reward everyone involved with the team with a feel good walk-off win. Tuesday afternoon at Citi Field began with an impromptu press conference to shockingly announce GM Sandy Alderson was taking a leave of absence immediately due to health complications. […]
Game recap June 21: Too little, too late
The Mets trailed from the first inning, and while the game was never out of reach, the team made sure they didn’t stand much of a chance to make up the difference, either. Steven Matz couldn’t retire the first five Rockies he faced, and by the time the first inning was complete, Matz had put […]
Game recap June 19: Coors
Primer The Mets have a nice little three-game win streak going, and they even got Jacob deGrom a win Monday. Brandon Nimmo is one of the best hitters in baseball, Michael Conforto is heating up and Jay Bruce is finally going on the DL. Things are almost looking up. Oh, except for the fact that […]
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 14: Scripted
Diamondbacks 6, Mets 3, Final It seemed like the same old story was unfolding at Chase Field: a decent outing by a starting pitcher, anemic offense and an imploding bullpen would converge for a desultory loss by the Mets in Arizona. And other than a late rally and generally close game, things otherwise followed the […]
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 9: Rinse and repeat
YANKEES 4, METS 3 If Mickey Callaway thought a lineup change would do the trick, it’s safe to assume he’s already back to the drawing board, pondering any possibility imaginable to spark this anemic Met offense. The Mets dropped the second game of the Subway Series, their eighth straight, all of which have come at […]
