Friday night’s New York Mets victory over the Washington Nationals was one of the most heartening since Citifield opened four years ago. Matt Harvey (4-0) outpitched Stephen Strasburg while Ike Davis and Lucas Duda each hit two home runs with Dwight Gooden watching it all from a front row seat.…
Tuesday night in freezing Denver, the Colorado Rockies commemorated the 20th anniversary of the franchise’s first game, which was against the Mets at Shea Stadium, by wearing their original 1993 road uniforms at home in Game 2 of a doubleheader. That was all well and good. For some reason, they…
When it comes to the 2013 Mets, patience is a virtue. Now, while that might sound like the boilerplate from a marketing staff desperate to convince Mets fans to just hang in there through one more depressing, sub-.500 season before all their dreams can finally start to come true in…
For the Mets, over the last six years, every backstop has been a stopgap. Every catcher the team has employed since Paul LoDuca slammed his last bat and threw his last tantrum has been deployed without even a hint of permanence. And many would classify John Buck, this year’s model,…
Matt Harvey was virtually the only reason other than R.A. Dickey to watch the New York Mets over the last 10 weeks of the 2012 season. This season, whether you’re a Met-hater who has no interest in the franchise, or whether you’re a Mets fan who just doesn’t want to invest…
All media outlets on Thursday reported that Johan Santana’s 2013 season is over before it has begun, and that there is a re-tear of the left shoulder capsule that sidelined him for all of 2011. Anybody reading the tea leaves carefully enough could have seen this news coming as far…
Last week, the New York Mets made two announcements of modest newsworthiness and curiously calculated timing. David Wright has been named the team captain, and Jonathan Niese was tabbed as the Opening Day starter. The announcement on Wright was well-deserved, one that few level-headed observers could reasonably dispute, but also…
Even before David Wright withdrew on Thursday from the remaining games in the World Baseball Classic with a left intercostal strain, there was something bittersweet and all-too-familiar with the way Wright’s saga was playing out in the international preseason tournament. Wright was absolutely tearing it up, turning in monstrous performances…
There’s going to be a natural inclination this season to lament the absence of R.A. Dickey every time a New York Mets starting pitcher gets cuffed around, or every time the 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner turns in a spectacular outing in his new Blue Jays uniform. But I…
New York Mets 2013 Prediction: 4th NL EAST Alderson’s Vision Beginning To Take Form When Sandy Alderson took the reigns as General Manager of the New York Mets prior to the 2011 season, he inherited a roster that was littered with bloated contracts and underachieving veterans. The two years that…
In the past week the New York Mets have been linked to several right handed outfield bats, most notably Justin Upton, Mike Morse, and Scott Hairston. While each would fill a huge need for New York, there are significant obstacles to obtaining all three. Arizona Diamondbacks General Manager Kevin Towers…
Many Mets fans were troubled, and even outraged by the club’s controversial decision to move defending National League Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey to Toronto. What the trade really did was outline General Manager Sandy Alderson’s long-term plan for the organization. And news flash folks, it’s a pretty good one.…
