MLB: New York Mets at Washington Nationals

Game recap April 8: Surging Mets complete statement sweep in D.C.

It’s dangerous to put too much stock in an early April series, but what the Mets just accomplished in D.C. this weekend certainly sent shots over the Nationals’ bow. New York’s 6-5 win in 12 innings on Sunday night completed a three-game sweep against their arch rivals, but the way the Mets won was indicative […]

MLB: New York Mets at Washington Nationals

Game recap April 7: Don’t look now, but Mets off to best start since 2006

After a less than stellar debut outing that resulted in the Mets’ only loss of the season thus far, Steven Matz returned to the mound Saturday looking like a man with something to prove. The Mets sent Matz out to face Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez, who’s enjoyed a great deal of success against the Mets […]

Game recap April 3: It’s raining, it’s Reyes, the man at short is…bad at baseball

Game recap March 29: We’re back, baby

Mets 9, Cardinals 4, final As our intrepid leader said, we survived the winter. But like the overcast, chilly weather, Opening Day started on a somber note with the news that Mets legend Rusty Staub had passed away. Even without the loss of a good man, few fanbases move through the season with equal parts […]

MLB: Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics

Who We Believe Will Be on the 25-Man Roster Come August… But Isn’t Now

Travis d’Arnaud: rotator cuff inflammation. Lucas Duda: lower back stress fracture. David Wright: frogs, boils, locusts, darkness for three days. Not only are the Mets down three position players, they’re missing arguably their three most important ones. After all, Juan Lagares is a rather studly fourth outfielder. But the team’s infield depth was such a weakness entering […]
