  • The Bad and the Good of NY Sports

    Lets get the bad stuff out first. The Mets choked away a series win against the Phillies. The Mets blew two games. Their playoff hopes took a lot of damage with the Braves having a chance to overtake them tonight. The hitting and bullpen of the Mets were not clutch in the last two games.…

  • The Mets Golden Opportunity

    The Mets enter a three game series with the worst team in baseball, the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are on pace to have the worst record for any team in history and ironically that is held by the 1962 Mets. It is a series where the Mets must win all three games. They…

  • The Mets missed opportunities

    The Mets finished off a 10 game West coast trip this past Sunday. They went a frustrating 4-6. They lost a series against the Angels and in two games they either choked or couldn’t hit. The Mets did have a good four game stretch after the Angels. However, in an embarrassing series they got swept…

  • The Mets Trade Deadline 

    The trade deadline has passed and the Mets added pitching depth and a solid hitter, in Jesse Winker. The depth was mostly in the bullpen. Most pitchers are decent and have been consistent. The retooling of the bullpen  makes  sense because the bullpen all season has been in flux. Pitchers have been overused and or…

  • A disastrous Mets weekend

    The Mets looked promising from Monday-Friday by winning all five games. The sweep of the Yankees on Tuesday and Wednesday was big. Good fortune was on the Mets side for the first two games of the series against the Braves. The disastrous part comes from the Mets losing the final two games — including Saturday’s…

  • The Mets 2nd half slump

    The Mets are three games into the 2nd half and issues have arisen. They have lost two out of three games to a bottom-feeding team in the Marlins. Pete Alonso has been dreadful. He has been a rally killer, either by striking out or grounding into a double play. The clutch gene he has had…

  • The Mets at the All Star Break

    The Mets have made it to the All Star Game break three games above .500. They are currently the third wild card team in the NL. The Padres and the Diamondbacks are both close behind them. But the Mets are in a good position to be in. They are going to play meaningful games in…

  • Are the Mets a real playoff contender?

    The Mets have beaten the Pittsburgh Pirates to bring them back to the .500 mark. From now until the end of July the Mets are playing to be a serious playoff contender for one of the wild card spots. July 31st is the trade deadline so in most years that is the point where a…

  • Subway Series

    The Mets have one more game before they play a two game series against the Yankees. The game tonight won’t affect the series due to the Mets having an off day tomorrow. Every Subway Series is important due to the media and fans. This year will be the same. But just like every other game,…

  • The Mets might be back

    The Mets have finished a 5-1 home stand. The sweep of the Padres this weekend was huge. The Padres are currently above the Mets in the wild card race. With the sweep the Mets are 4 games under 500. There is a chance for the Mets to be in the wildcard hunt due to the…
