The Mets will continue their 5-game series with the Marlins tonight at 7:10 pm as Mike Pelfrey (7-10, 4.60 ERA) goes [...]

GAME ONE: Game Summary Nice start by Dickey with seven shutout innings. Duda and Evans combine for five hits, and the Mets score two just enough to win 2-1 in the first game of the double-header.

Chris Capuano has had his share of ups and downs in 2011.  He struggled during the month of July, and has started to bounce back with his 2-hit performance against the Braves Friday night. With Capuano’s 1-year deal expiring at the end of the season, will he return in 2012?

McEwing only played five seasons with the Mets, but during that time, he quickly became appreciated by Mets fans everywhere. His offensive stats were pedestrian, but his play was described as “hard-nosed”. If you [...]
