Here we are, New York Mets fans. It's nearing the midway point of the season, and the team we love is a half-game out of first, and 10 games above .500. Who would have thunk it? Certainly not me. I went into this season with mixed feelings about this team. I felt that if they could stay healthy, they could put up a fight, and maybe sneak into the playoffs via ...

Not yet... The starting pitching had to let down at some point this season. It’s virtually impossible to keep up the pace. Mike Pelfrey got the fun started, giving up six runs in the fourth inning on Saturday en route to a 10-0 loss, the first loss for the Mets in eight games. Things only got worst on Sunday when Johan Santana put up his worst effort in his time ...

The New York Mets have found themselves atop the NL East after the best home stand to date in Citi Field. The team was falling apart last week, but seem to have turned things around completely. They're arguably the hottest team in baseball right now. What are the Mets doing differently these days? They're taking advantage of other team's mistakes. They're playing clean and smart baseball. They're getting timely hits, solid pitching, ...

Get ready for things to turn around Mets Fans! The chosen one, Ike Davis, will finally be rejoining the Mets tonight when they take on the Chicago Cubs, tonight at 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field. So...what should we expect from Davis’ promotion? Well, clearly the Mets will respond to Davis’ presence in the dugout, and score 14 runs on 22 hits to topple the lowly Cubs. This God of everything baseball will ...

The Mets lost another tough game last night against the Colorado Rockies, extending their losing streak to four straight. The optimist in me looks at the loss as a good one, with the Mets fighting back late in the game to eventually tie it in the top of the ninth. The pessimist in me, who has a much louder voice, says a loss is a loss. It seems ...

I remember being a fan of Jerry Manuel when he first got the job as manager of the New York Mets. His easygoing attitude was a far cry from Willie Randolph, and at first, the players seemed to respond well. How times have changed... It now seems that Manuel and his laissez-faire demeanor have lost the team.  The Mets have picked up right where they left off in 2009, underperforming in the field ...

I am lucky enough to be a Mets fan living in Queens. I’m lucky enough to have the means to buy a nice ticket package every season. I’m lucky enough to work for a company that has season tickets to the Mets. All those factors contribute to the fact that I go to a lot of Mets games every year. I was at Opening Day last season, a game ...

I find there's a lot to read during spring training, but not a lot to write. The main reason being I don't get a chance to watch many of the games, and don't feel like recycling other people's opinions as my own. Today, that changes... As I was perusing the many Mets-related blogs I frequent, I read the news that Ike Davis, the team's likely future ...

Much has been said about David Wright's home run total in 2009. Mets fans everywhere are wondering if Wright will have a bounce-back season in 2010 power-wise, getting his total back up to the thirties that we're used to. Well, the Mets are trying to help (or so they think). In what seems to be an attempt to make Citi Field more hitter-friendly, the front office has decided to lower the center field ...

The Baseball Bloggers Alliance was formed with the intention of getting a group of amateur baseball writers to vote on season awards the same way the Baseball Writers Association does. Think of it as a second opinion. Well the results are in. Manager of the Year American League Mike Scioscia, Los Angeles (8) 58 Ron Gardenhire, Minnesota (6) 46 Ron Washington, Texas (2) 30 Dan Wakamatsu, Seattle (4) 29 Joe Girardi, New York ...
