Game Summary After a slight rain delay, the sun came back out and the Mets fought their way back to win 6-3 over the Nationals thanks to some late innings magic. Dickey did his job on the mound, ‘pen gave up one run, and the offense, behind the Murph-Man, gave the Mets plenty of runs to win another one! Game Notes R.A. Dickey pitched impressively against the Nats, not quite like 2010, but he did his [...]

1. Reyes 2. Murphy 3. Wright 4. Beltran 5. Bay 6. Davis Best lineup in the NL? That’s what Rich Couthino says in a post for WFAN. I surely got your attention with that headline — but it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. New York’s lineup is the biggest reason why the Mets are in the midst of a 5-game winning streak. They have the ability to not only score runs early, but tack [...]

The trade winds have been swirling around New York recently. Rumors that both Jose Reyes and David Wright may be traded have been discussed ad nauseam. However, these two may not be the first Mets that would be traded this year. There is a possibility that the Mets could look to trade Mike Pelfrey. Yes, Pelfrey has struggled to begin the season, but that does not mean that he does not mean that he has [...]

Don’t look now, but have you taken a look at Jason Bay’s numbers since he returned from the disabled list? The Mets are 5-0 since Bay was activated on April 21st, and he has strengthened and fortified what was once a meek lineup.

It appears like such a shocking question to ask, but should the Mets deal their ace Johan Santana?  The Mets have a great deal of money invested in the ailing ace who has failed to complete 30 starts since the 2008 season, his first year with the Mets. With Santana’s health in question and no clear return date, would it be in the Mets best interest to trade Santana in a deal similar to the deal the Padres made when they [...]

This year’s visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center was much different from last years. This year, the Mets team and staff had a real military man with them who understands how and why these visits are so important. Yes, Sandy Alderson is a retired Marine and a Vietnam veteran who served as a platoon commander and intelligence officer, among other jobs in Vietnam in 1970 and 1971. This year’s voluntary visit to Walter Reed [...]

Chris Young, in his first start off the disabled list had a poor outing, but the Mets offense and bullpen carried them through to a 6-4 series opening win versus the Nationals. Game Notes Chris Young struggled in his first start off the DL, going four and two-thirds innings allowing three runs on four hits, but all the runs scored on home runs, walking two and striking out three. Despite only the two walks, both [...]

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? The Mets have confirmed that Ronny Paulino will be activated from the disabled list for Friday’s game in Philadelphia. Paulino caught all nine innings on Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo and went 0-for-4. Original Post 4/26 Since the Mets first signed catcher Ronny Paulino on December 7th, he’s been pretty scarce in the Mets clubhouse. First it was a one month delay due to visa problems stemming from his PED suspension, then it [...]
