The New York Mets have announced that RHP Jenrry Mejia will leave his Florida rehab assignment with St. Lucie and head north to join up with the AA Binghamton club to make a start for them this weekend. The B-Mets will be in Maine playing the Portland Sea Dogs on Saturday afternoon. The 1:35 PM game will be the second of the series against the last place Sea Dogs (14-25, 9.5 GB), and Mejia’s start [...]

The Mets seem to be in a win one lose one funk right now and look to completely put last night behind them as they take on the Reds tonight. For the Mets, it will be their second two game series in a row. Tonight the bats will look to wake up against Mike Leake as Johan Santana gets the start for the Mets. Santana is 1-2 on the season with a 2.92 ERA over [...]

There’s nothing like a little controversy to keep us all busy for the next 6+ hours before first pitch tonight huh? Doesn’t it seem like whenever the Mets lose the final game of a series, there is always that “how will they bounce back from ____?” Whether it be a bullpen disaster, injuries, or a dispute in the dugout. They always make it interesting don’t they? Tonight, the odd 2 game NL Central theme continues. [...]

Updated 5/16 at 1:30pm: The Mets have been awarded the 2013 All-Star Game announced MLB commissioner Bud Selig today at a press conference at City Hall. In addition to Selig,  Mayor Bloomberg, Fred Wilpon and of course Mr. Met were on hand for the announcement. “As we celebrate the franchise’s golden anniversary this year, I am pleased to award the 2013 All-Star Game to the New York Mets and their loyal fans. We are delighted to bring [...]

For years, Jose Reyes would be considered the “spark plug” of the Mets; the man to light up the basepaths, and the dugout. Now with Reyes trying to find his spark in Miami, the Mets were supposed to be lacking such a catalyst both on and off the field come 2012. Turns out, the true spark of this franchise was just waiting to catch fire all along. His name: David Wright. In 2012 to this [...]

Gwinnett 6, Buffalo 1 By Pete Shapiro The Gwinnett Braves scored two runs in the first inning and put up a four-spot in the sixth, to brand the Herd with the loss by a score of 6-1 on Tuesday night. Right-hander Jeremy Hefner (3-2, 2.72) started the game for Buffalo and was ineffective for the first time this season. After pitching extremely well in his first six GS, this time out he lasted 5.2 innings [...]

Jason Bay has begun working out in Port St. Lucie. He’s still several weeks away, but what is to become of the Mets’ outfield when he comes back? Terry Collins said Bay will play, but not how much. I don’t like the idea of Kirk Nieuwenhuis returning to the minor leagues or having his playing time substantially reduced. And, for the money the Mets are paying Bay, he will play. That’s always a factor, regardless [...]

Mets got beaten all-around tonight in an 8-0 Brewers victory. Summary Well, it was not Francisco tonight. There is no nice way to say this – we just did not have it tonight. The offense bit and Collins made one really intriguing decision… Oh, Dillon Gee was not on his game either. So the aforementioned Gee started tonight and pitched into the sixth ineffectively – allowing 8 H and 7 ER, with the main blows [...]
