SNY and the Mets have finally fixed that annoying score bug that has led to so much confusion regarding the score during Mets telecasts.

Here is the the one they started the [...]

So here it is, with inspiration from the unsinkable Metsie, and of course Joe D. Metsie said: There are a lot of “Fans” who don’t know anything and go solely on the BA List of prospects! If BA doesn’t mention them [...]

An introduction is not necessary as the title does all of the justice. Statistically, he has faltered in every role this season, from set-up man to mop-up guy. Acosta has almost as many walks as innings pitched, allowed more runs then innings pitched and has allowed a run in 10 of his 18 games pitched. So, logical readers of MMO – why is the man still up north occupying a roster spot, and who could [...]

His entire family flew in from Oklahoma to see the 26-year old pitch in front of a crowd of nearly 25,000. After a 1 hour and eight minute rain delay however, it became [...]

A Day In Pictures  Jenrry Mejia follows through after delivering a pitch in the first inning. I had gotten to the ballpark in New Britain on Thursday morning at around 9am for a 10:35 start time. I really wanted to get some coffee and eat breakfast but that would have to wait until I went up to the press-box about 45 minutes before game time. In the meantime I snapped off a few pictures for [...]
