So far from what I’ve observed, I come away very impressed with Terry Collins who has conducted himself as a true professional and savvy baseball man. The way Collins handled the Carlos Beltran situation the past Spring was flawless and poetry in motion. He has an aggressive, but calm demeanor about him and has a professional way of doing business. Last week, I saw Collins way of handling things again – during a game when R.A. Dickey gestured to Terry to [...]

Over the past few seasons a lot of the talk has been about how the Subway Series has lost it’s juice.  People say it’s not the same anymore.  Radio personalities say that once it moved from 3 games a year to 6 games,  and now alternating stadiums every year, that it became diluted. I disagree with all of that. The Subway Series is a time for New Yorkers to engage in friendly banter.  Whether it [...]

I came across a post by John Schweibacher of WFAN who reminded me that tonight marks the the 15th season of interleague play. Where do all the years go? Believe it or not, the Mets were a franchise-best 13-5 in interleague play last year, not bad considering how the season played out. It was the most wins they’ve ever racked up against the AL beating their previous high of 12 wins in 1999. Of course going [...]

Dillon Gee gave the Mets a glimmer of hope in throwing the team’s first-ever no-hitter. However, like so many hopefuls before him, Gee fell short of making history. Though there have been some heartbreaking possible no-hit efforts in Mets history, the last two have been particularly hard to swallow, since the opposing team’s pitcher broke up the bid. How fitting that former Met Livan Hernandez was the culprit this time? While he’s been a good [...]

Mets Minors 5.19.2011 BUFFALO 5, INDIANAPOLIS 1: Brian Sweeney shut out the Indians for six innings, helping the Bisons to a 5-1 win in Indianapolis Thursday.

Dillon Gee had the best outing of his career and Justin Turner knocked across the only run in the Mets 1-0 win against the Nationals, winning the series Game Notes Dillon Gee pitched like a veteran today, nearly tossing a no-hitter, but like every other Met to ever pitch in uniform, gave up a hit eventually. Dillon went seven and two-third innings, allowing two hits while walking three and striking out three. While the Nationals [...]

Jose Reyes went 3-4 with two runs scored last night and has now raised his batting average to .322 for the season. The Mets are 110-29 (.791) when Jose Reyes scores two or more runs. Currently, Reyes leads the majors in triples (6), multi-hit games (19), hits (59) and stolen bases (16) and is tied for second in the NL in doubles with 13. George Willis of the NY Post says if the Mets really do care about [...]

Since the hiring of Sandy Alderson there seems to be a an overwhelming sentiment among the fanbase that if you don’t 100% support everything Alderson and his front office do then you’re not a real fan of the New York Mets. Gone are the days when having a different opinion was acceptable. Today, Mets fans who disagree with the front office are labeled haters and trolls. They are singled out and attacked on sites like this one or social [...]
