So much has already gone wrong for the Mets this season that the radar has barely picked up on the fact that Bobby Parnell has taken the closer’s role and run with it. In retrospect, it seems puzzling that the organization was so reluctant to hand the ball to Parnell…
Well, Mets fans, this year you don’t even get the fool’s gold. It’s been sort of a rite of spring since the New York Mets moved into Citi Field that at some point in May or June the team would put together a stretch of baseball good enough to inspire hope…
Ah yes, its that time of year again. Spring is in the air, flowers are blooming, Lebron James is tearing through the never ending marathon that is the NBA playoffs, all of Canada and approximately five Americans are watching hockey, and Mets fans are again calling for Ike Davis’s head.…
Bloggers, fans and sports-talk callers are imploring the scoring-starved New York Mets to play Jordany Valdespin more. Bloggers, fans and sports-talk callers are also imploring the pitching-poor Mets to call top prospect Zack Wheeler up from Triple-A Las Vegas. Should the Mets be doing one, both or neither of these…
Two beloved vestiges of the Shea Stadium legacy returned to Citi Field on Saturday before the New York Mets played the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only have the Mets revived their Banner Day tradition, which dates back before Shea Stadium to the franchise’s infancy, but one of the judges for the Banner…
Intermixed between the furor and euphoria of Matt Harvey’s run of dominance lays one overlooked April 29 start against the Miami Marlins. It was the New York Mets starters’ worst start of the year and not particularly noteworthy (few Miami games are) as he lasted only 5.1 innings despite throwing 121 pitches. Overlooked,…
Trenton, New Jersey – Catchers have the job of managing the mental ups and downs of pitchers on the field. For a soft-spoken Southerner like Blake Forsythe, you’d think that job would be difficult. But not so. He’s clear about how meaningful the job is to him. Vocal when he…
Matt Harvey is the biggest story in baseball. It seems like just a matter of time until Sports Illustrated deems the Mets right-hander worthy of slapping the whammy on him by featuring him on its cover. Harvey was the National League Pitcher of the Month for April and, after one…
Mazzoni’s comeback after not pitching since April 5th was a struggle from the first pitch. In a game against the Trenton Thunder (17-14) Monday night, the Binghamton Mets (16-15) RHP faced a lineup that took advantage of every mistake. And there were plenty. Mazzoni lacked control, and was unable to…
For the last 16 years, every Mets trip to Atlanta has been fraught with the potential for disaster—potential that was usually realized, and most often administered by Chipper Jones. Friday night, the Mets played the Braves in Turner Field for the first time since Chipper Jones retired, and they won…
The New York Mets were four innings away from the early-season ignominy of being swept by the Miami Marlins Wednesday when Jordany Valdespin pulled another one of those crucial pinch-home runs he seems to have an endless supply of in his bag of tricks, a three-run shot to give the Mets…
Start me up. The title of the ubiquitous Rolling Stones song that Ike Davis employs as his walk-up music sounds more like it could almost serve as a plea. Somebody, please, start Ike Davis up. For the second consecutive year, the Mets first baseman is having a nightmarish April, as his…
