Mets came back home feeling good after sweeping the first place Rays. Dillon Gee tried to keep the ball rolling but he had no control and was getting batted all over Citi Field. In the second inning, Gee gave up a lead-off inside the park home run to Jay Bruce after Jason Bay slammed into the left field wall chasing down the ball, hitting his head and neck. He came out of the game, able [...]

Last week in the MMO Lets Talk Mets chat room, myself and Met Maniac were discussing the recent amatuer draft and how we were both disappointed that the Mets bypassed the opportunity to select slugging High School OF Courtney Hawkins or High School sensation RHP Lucas Giolito with the number 12 pick. With Alberto Almora and David Dahl already off the board, two of the four players I had on my wish list, the other two Lucas [...]

According to Buster Olney, the ruling by the official scorekeeper in Wednesday night’s game that kept R.A. Dickey from throwing the second no-hitter in Mets history has been upheld by Major League Baseball. The Mets had appealed the ruling that B.J. Upton’s first inning infield single was a hit.

The series sweep of the Rays once again showed that the 2012 Mets are a resilient group of players. Something that I don’t think has been written about enough is their knack for bouncing back after tough losses or a stretch of bad baseball that has them on the fence of falling out of contention. So far this season they have overcome adversity and stormed back to reclaim their spot in the race for a [...]

There are certain dates in our nation’s history when Americans remember exactly where they were and what they were doing. One day that stands out for Mets fans is June 15, 1977. That is a day in our history which will live in infamy. Tom Seaver, the face of the franchise, the heart and soul of the franchise, The Franchise, was traded away–no, was discarded–by the team he loved. No player in the history of [...]

Pawtucket 5, Buffalo 0 By Joe D. There’s only one storyline for the Bisons in this game and it was the stellar performance by one, Matt Harvey, who put on a dazzling display of pitching in his ten strikeout, seven inning show last night. He made just one bad pitch and it cost him big-time as it sailed over the wall for a three-run homer to put Pawtucket up 3-0 over the The Herd. Harvey [...]

Well, today is decision day on the appeal that the Mets filed hoping that MLB would overturn the play that was scored a hit during R.A. Dickey’s spectacular start against the Rays. That one hit turned out to be the only one the Rays would get that day, and the masses are split as to whether it was actually a hit or an error by third baseman David Wright, who flubbed the play by trying to bare-hand it. The Mets appealed [...]
