Just a little something to set the mood for the huge weekend series against the Phillies. Do you remember how down we all were only two weekends ago? Now we’re the ones that are striking fear down the spines of opposing teams. Baseball is so amazing that way… I have three things that I would love to see from the Mets tomorrow night… #1 – Jon Niese uncorks a high and inside fastball that sends Victorino sprawling to [...]

Last night I took a look at my weekly stats report from the week of April 18-24 and was surprised to see that MMO had reached another milestone. It’s been a while since I shared some sire info, so I thought, hey why not… Monday April 19th, 2010 will forever go down as the day that Mets first baseman Ike Davis made his Major League Debut and sparked the team into an exciting dash for first place [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 4/8/0, Durham 0/1/1 RA Dickey gave up a hit to the first batter he faced, then retired 27 in a row for a CG 1 hitter. The Bisons scored all they’d need in the 4th, with a lone run. Overall, they had 8 hits, while going just 1 for 6 with RISP, leaving 1 on base and striking out 3 times. Jesus Feliciano had the only multi hit game, while Jason [...]

The Mets are proving that winning baseball isn’t just measured by pure numbers such as batting averages or home runs or even low walk totals. Winning baseball is a mishmash of that along with solid clutch playing and a really big chaser of luck. Luck isn’t something the Mets are used to lately not to mention their fans. The start of the 2010 season was beginning to feel like a bad epilogue to 2009 as [...]

On what should have been a 3 day series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, due to a rainout Monday, the Mets achieved one of the most unlikely feats – winning three games in 24 hours. It all begun Monday, when due to a steady rain the Mets/Dodgers game was postponed and moved to a very rare, single admission double header beginning at 4 PM Tuesday. Once the Mets began playing, on a very windy Tuesday [...]

Before you jump to post a comment about how you hate Sabermetrics, or how you find them useless. Please at least read this? For starters, I’m terrible at Math. It was my worst subject in school, and I literally had zero interest in it unless it revolved around baseball stats. I don’t read about Sabermetrics, I don’t go to church on Sunday and pray to the God that is Bill James, and I don’t think [...]

I hate off days… Especially when we’re on a seven game winning streak! So on this slow Mets news day, I dug around and came across a cool post I wrote not too long ago that seems very appropriate today. This post was originally published in February, back when the Mets were the laughing stock of baseball. Back then, I wanted to let everyone know why I believed the Mets had what it takes to create some magic this season. [...]

AAA International League: Buffalo 2/9/0, Durham 9/10/0 Tobi Stoner had a rough outing tonight, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits, including 3 homers, for his 3rd loss of the season. Bobby Parnell, in his first outing since leaving to deal with a personal issue on the 22nd, got ripped for 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks in 1.2 innings. The Bisons offense had 9 hits and a walk, but were just 2 [...]
