That the Mets 7-6 loss to the Yankees in the second game of the Subway Series wasn’t even the third biggest team-related story of the day tells you all you need to know about what’s been going on in Flushing this year. News broke late Friday night of an impending trade with the Athletics for […]

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 […]
The financially restricted Mets are getting nothing out of their most expensive assets
The New York Mets have not been spending big-time money over the past decade. While this news will come as a surprise to no one, it reinforces the fact that the money this franchise does spend is all-the-more important. As the Mets continue to struggle this season—they sport a 16-26 record over their last 42 games […]
Game recap May 13: Questionable decisions aplenty
Just over a week ago, last Saturday to be exact, I wrote how it felt as if the Mets were quickly approaching rock bottom. I was exaggerating of course, but the Mets had just been swept during a six-game homestand and the offense was downright pathetic, scoring just 11 runs total. That being said, I […]
Game recap May 7: That’s what winning looks like
Boy did the Mets need that one. Entering last night, the team was in a pretty noticeable tailspin, dropping all six games of last week’s homestand. On Monday, they resembled the explosive team we had the privilege of watching during the first few weeks of the season. New York rebounded in Cincinnati, defeating the Reds […]
Game recap May 6: The Ian Desmond Game
WHO WON: The Ian Desmond-led Colorado Rockies WHAT HAPPENED, NOAH SYNDERGAARD DID NOT HAVE A NICE START: The easiest thing to do is to start with the negative. Sept. 7, 2016 was the last time Noah Syndergaard issued four free-passes in one start. In fact, over 68 career big league starts, Syndergaard had walked four […]
Game recap May 5: Are we there yet?
In what’s already been a tumultuous week for the Mets and their fanbase, it feels as if Saturday night’s 2-0 loss to Colorado may actually be rock bottom. The loss was the fifth straight for the Mets and marked the third time in four games the offense has failed to score a run. The Mets […]
Game recap May 4: Close, but no success
The Mets showed fight Friday night, but when it was all said and done the end result was the same as it’s been all week: walking off the field following a loss. New York’s weekend series with the Rockies could not have possibly begun any worse, with Zack Wheeler placing the Mets in an immediate deep […]
Game recap May 1: Welcome to the new dynasty
Primer Meet the Mets, same as the old Mets. Yoenis Cespedes was supposed to miss three days with a jammed thumb, instead he’s in the lineup after the team decided he didn’t even need an MRI. When have we heard that story before I wonder? Steven Matz also said he was fine, then was announced […]
Game recap April 28: A rotation full of question marks
Let’s start off today’s recap with a question: Are you really that surprised? Of course, I’m referring to Jason Vargas’ less than stellar season debut on Saturday, in which he allowed nine runs on nine hits to the San Diego Padres, one of the league’s worst offenses. The signing of Vargas to a two-year, $16 […]
