Check out my video coverage of last night’s induction of John Franco into the Mets Hall of Fame.

Buffalo 5, Toledo 3 By Joe D. Matt Harvey started the game and really labored through four innings after which Wally Backman had seen enough and pulled his young righty after 84 pitches. Harvey didn’t allow a run, but simply didn’t have it having allowed four hits and dishing out an alarming five walks. Was it a terrible day? No, not at all, but it was clear he was struggling mentally and physically, so Backman [...]

First off, hat tip to the 7Line.com for the title of this article, it was just too fitting not to use. Usually I watch the Mets play upstairs, in the bedroom.  I don’t mind it to be honest; it allots me some relaxation from my day. Even though my wife isn’t much of a baseball fan, she does tolerate my screaming at the television for reasons she has the slightest clue about.  Last night there [...]

Last night, the Mets announced that comedian Bill Maher is now a new limited partner with the Mets after purchasing a minority stake in the team. “I think it’s a great investment,” Maher said. “I think it’s a great team that I’ve been rooting for since they came into existence, which was soon after I came into existence.” Our senior staff writer, Jim Mancari, covered the game yesterday and took that picture of Maher (on [...]

Recap: If these past three days have not been enough to convince every last nay-sayer out there that this team is for real, then I don’t know what possibly will. Continuing the theme of sharp play, red hot offense and of course unfathomable pitching, the Mets took the third game of this four-game set 6-1. Following Santana’s no-no and Dickey’s shutout, Jon Niese looked to keep the theme of “mythical” starting pitching going and that [...]

Take a look at the headline above.  This was the back page of Saturday’s edition of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  See anything intersting?  See it twice? Apparently, the writers and/or editorial staff of the newspaper don’t think Johan Santana earned his no-hitter, the first thrown by a Met in 8,020 regular season games.  They claim the blown call by third base umpire Adrian Johnson on Carlos Beltran’s screaming liner caused Santana to pitch a tainted [...]

Update 12:18 Andres Torres had a big night offensively, but he credited the pitching staff for their stellar performances lately. “Pitching is a big key for winning games, and all our pitchers are terrific.” He thinks tonight was his best offensive game as a Met. He’s not focused on being in first place right now, since it’s still so early. Torres was a home run shy of the cycle. I asked him if he was [...]

With an overall won-lost record of 44-12 and a winning pct. of: .786, the St. Lucie Mets have once again captured the first-half Southern Division title in the Florida State League (A+), repeating the feat of a year ago. The incredible record has enabled them to clinch the first-half title nearly two weeks early, as the mid-season point in the FSL does not happen until mid-June. The 2012 team, managed by Ryan Ellis has completely [...]

It’s kind of funny in that two days ago I posted an MMO Roundtable in which we discussed how much the Mets should offer David Wright whenever both sides got around to discussing parameters. After the game yesterday, Wright was asked about his stance that he did not want to negotiate during the season, and he pretty much said the Mets had every opportunity to talk to him before the season and “they chose not [...]

Hi everyone, a few notes on the minors, but before that I want to apologize for the meltdowns we experienced on MMO this past Friday and Saturday when we suffered a few outages due to heavy traffic. We have taken measures to increase our memory and resources so that will not happen again. The site might feel a little sluggish for the next 2-3 days while our technicians do what they need to do. Our [...]
