The amazing quality of 2012 Mets is their ability to bounce back time and time again. It’s a team that you just can’t write off (and that’s something we haven’t seen from recent Met teams). After a wasted weekend up in the Bronx, the Mets went down to Tampa, to visit the Rays. The Mets looked pretty solid over the three game set, sweeping the Rays away and getting back to their winning ways. Here [...]

What could have turned into a disaster of a road trip, ended up being a memorable one. Everybody seems to be on cloud 9 after the sweep in Tampa Bay. Just as the Mets have had to forget about their poor outings and focus on the next game, they must forget about the sweep and worry about today. This team is tenacious. However, I feel they sometimes get a tad too comfortable in success. For [...]

Finishing up the nine-game road trip and being the last time the Amazin’s will have to use the designated hitter (until of course the world series ), the Mets hit early and often despite a bad start by Johan Santana and an iffy ninth to complete the sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 9-6. Johan Santana was on the hill to get the sweep for New York, going toe-to-toe with 2011 [...]

It may not have been the best performance of the evening, –that accolade belongs to Matt Cain and his perfect game and 14 punchouts– but it was the most dominant performance by a Mets pitcher all season long. R.A. Dickey completed a masterful one-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays taking 106 pitches to do so while also going 32 2/3 straight shutout frames, trumping Jerry Koosman’s franchise record of 31 2/3 set back in 1973. [...]

Starting Lineup Kirk Nieuwenhuis – CF Jordany Valdespin – DH David Wright – 3B Lucas Duda – RF Ike Davis – 1B Daniel Murphy – 2B Jason Bay – LF Josh Thole – C Omar Quintanilla – SS The Mets go for the three game sweep tonight as they take on the Rays in Tampa. Last night was another tremendous night for this team as Dickey absolutely crushed the Rays and made a strong case [...]

Professional sports, especially baseball, have a way of sensationalizing the efforts of millionaires.  These folks are after all only human, but even still there are times when things just seem too good to be true.  Take for instance the career path of RA Dickey.  I would call his time with the Mets a resurgence,  but that would give the impression that Dickey has done this before, when in fact he has never come close.  Drafted [...]

Game 1: Reading 3, Binghamton 1 By Tim Burns The Binghamton Mets jumped out to the early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first in game one of their double header against the Reading Phillies on Wednesday night, but in the end found themselves on the losing end of the final score by a 3-1 tally. The B-Mets first only run was scored by Josh Rodriguez, who was on first base when Jefry Marte [...]

R.A. Dickey had the most amazing, most tremendous, most [insert your favorite superlative here] start of his career last night, coming within two David Wright muffs of pitching the first perfect game in Mets history.  His performance came less than two weeks after Johan Santana tossed the first no-hitter in club annals and on the same night that Matt Cain pitched the first perfect game in San Francisco Giants history. Before Wright’s error allowed Elliot [...]

HE’S UNBELIEVABLE! The Mets (34-29) demolished the Rays (35-27) for their second consecutive win tonight by the score of 9-1 in what may have been Dickey’s most spectacular performance as a Met and in his career. Dickey faced just two batters over the minimum tonight in a scintillating performance, striking out 12 batters and allowing just one hit in a complete game masterpiece. He could have easily had himself a no-hitter if not for a questionable call on [...]
