The Mets lost an ugly game last night as a 4th inning implosion set the tone for the rest of the night. They look to get back on the winning track against the Astros tonight as they open up a series against them at home. The Mets look for Pelfrey to continue his late resurgence.

In a post by Mark Simon of ESPN New York, he writes that despite being ostracized by the Mets, Oliver Perez still wants to be with the team next season. “I want to be back here,” Perez told ESPNNewYork.com. “I want to have a championship because I know the fans want it and I want it, too.” Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, Jerry Manuel has been reluctant to use him and he has not thrown [...]

After Jesse Orosco struck out Marty Barrett, I lost my passion for the Mets. I don’t know why, but its never been the same. I just didn’t care as much in 1987 as I did in all the previous years, and with each passing year I cared less and less. In 2007 I started rooting against the Mets because I saw how lazy and uninspired they played. My lasting memory is Lastings Milledge jogging after [...]

I think this graphic speaks for itself…. And for the few positive Met fans like myself, here’s hoping… UPDATED: And for the in between….

Despite the Mets 63-62 record, numerous team problems, mismanagement and an overall inability to win on the road, 2010 has been a great season for the Mets from a different point of view. I’ll avoid the sappy introduction filled with highlights and recaps of moments when they succeeded and just get into the observations: 1. The Mets apparently have a farm system…with skilled players This may come as a shock to people, but this year [...]

“It doesn’t necessarily get better next year.” — That’s how Adam Rubin starts the second part of his “Meet The Mess” series for ESPN New York. He believes that the Mets may have to bide their time until 2012 before “resuming relevance” mostly because by then they could potentially have cleared $51.5 million in salary off the books from four players alone. He believes that the 2011 season will be mostly a “budget-induced youth movement” and will [...]
