So it is technically my job to recap the Mets game yesterday to you, the reader, and talk about things you would care about reading. It is not my job to make it about myself, because you probably don’t care too much about me or my personal experiences. That said, I feel the best way I can fully convey the misery […]

Game recap May 9: Oh look, it’s this team again
We all make mistakes. It happens. We misread things, we sign on the wrong dotted line, we go out into traffic or change lanes when we probably shouldn’t, whatever it is. We all mess things up. One time, I accidentally checked off the “I am a convicted felon” box on a job application. I am not […]
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 April 29: Sweet Sunday bliss
WHO WON: It was definitely the Mets WHAT HAPPENED, TIME FOR THE NUMBERS: At this point, it seems safe to assume that the Mets did not enjoy getting blown out 12-2 on Saturday. Why is that? Oh, because the Mets tagged the San Diego Padres for 14 runs on 19 hits and seven walks. Every […]
Game recap April 24: They’re saying Bruuuuuuuuuce
Primer Rain mercifully cut short the Mets’ time in Atlanta, saving our ears and our sanity from any more Tomahawk Chops until [checks schedule] ugh, late May. Instead, the team headed off to St. Louis to face the less-auditory-but-still-rage-inducing Cardinals with Luke Weaver on the mound. Zack Wheeler took the hill for the Mets, and […]
Game recap April 17: Death by a thousand papercuts
Primer One night removed from the latest in a long series of heartbreaking losses to the Nationals, life goes on for the 2018 Mets. Zack Wheeler took the mound, coming off of his brilliant season debut against the Marlins and facing the first real lineup he’s seen. Opposing him was long-time Met killer Gio Gonzalez, […]
Game recap April 11: I don’t know what’s happening, but I like it
The New York Mets are the best team in baseball. With their 4-1 victory over the Marlins last night, they are tied with the Angels for the most wins in the league with 10, though the fighting Mike Trouts are 10-3, while New York is 10-1. So that means the Mets have a better winning percentage, which means […]
Staff Post: Mets Alternate Realities
The 2017 Mets were set in the darkest timeline. No Mets squad won fewer than last year’s 70 since the first year of the otherwise-forgettable Art Howe era in 2003. The only player who didn’t get hurt was a prodigal son who returned to the team but felt little remorse for his faults. The manager […]
Padres Series Preview July 24-27
The Mets (45-51) begin a ten-game road trip on Monday night at spacious Petco Park against Andy Green’s San Diego Padres (43-55). New York has won four of five, their streak snapped on Sunday with a 3-2 loss to Oakland. The Padres return home after taking three of four in San Francisco. While these two […]
Game recap July 22: The Wilmer Flores Walkoff
Mets brought 15,000 Noah Syndergaard bobbleheads to Citi Field last night. If fans were fortunate enough, they could sit in line for hours waiting for the gates to open and actually get rewarded for it. Of course, there weren’t enough bobbleheads to go around. All those fans stuck in line arrived to a stadium ill-prepared […]
