When you say the words “Game 6″ to any Mets fan, immediately their thoughts turn to the 1986 World Series.  You can’t blame those fans for thinking of that memorable game first.  After all, the game in which Mookie Wilson hit a “little roller up along first” was voted by Mets fans as the most memorable moment in Mets history. But that wasn’t the only memorable Game 6 for the Mets that season.  If not [...]

On Saturday, the New York Mets completed a doubleheader sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies and handed the NL East champions their eighth straight loss. Game 1 – Mets 2, Phillies 1 R.A. Dickey got everyone’s attention when he took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning. Center fielder Shane Victorino broke it up with a hard hit double for the Phillies first hit of the game, and after a Ryan Howard single the Phillies were up [...]

Get your minds out of the gutter Metsmerizers, the BS is for “blown save”… I don’t usually get asked to do these game recaps so this will be anything but typical. Despite a somewhat solid effort from starting pitcher Chris Capuano, and an almost valiant comeback attempt led by the resurgent Jason Bay, the Mets still found a way to hand the Chicago Cubs a 5-4 victory this afternoon at Citi Field. David Wright and Jose Reyes combined [...]

Chris Schwinden made his major league debut and was hit hard in the Mets 6-5 loss, and in the second game of the double header, Dillon Gee overcame early trouble to hand the ball to a bullpen that would cough up two more runs in the Mets second loss, a 5-1 defeat. Game One Chris Schwinden made his MLB debut, and it will probably not be a memorable one for many. Schwinden went five innings, [...]

  Miguel Batista had another good outing spoiled by a blown save, but Nick Evans had a huge day in the Mets 7-4 win. Game Notes Miguel Batista took the mound, and pitched another surprising game, but was not as sharp as his last outing. Batista went six innings, allowing one run on five hits, walking four and striking out three. Batista wasn’t hit hard, but he had Marlins batters chasing bad pitches consistently. While [...]

Game Summary Dillon Gee got rocked with homeruns as he let up three in his five innings of work. The bullpen is good except for Parnell. Mets bats did all they could do. Mets lose in walk-off fashion, 8-7. Game Notes The rookie, Dillon Gee, had quite the set back today. After such a decent rookie season, he really got rocked by the Nationals offense, and especially the long ball. Only five innings under his [...]

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. Game Notes RA Dickey pitched another gem today. With a weekend full of rain and no Mets baseball, it was nice to get a win off the bat, and good to see it didn’t affect the pitchers at all. [...]

Game Summary Mets avoid a sweep against the Phillies and end a five game losing streak as the Mets take a 7-4 win thanks to the man nobody remembers, Nick Evans. Game Notes Mike Pelfrey was laboring today, requiring a career-high 125 pitches to get through six innings, but notched his first win since July 27. He got knocked for three runs on nine hits, two walks, and two Ks. Not terrible, but Mike Pelfrey [...]

The Mets got clobbered by the Philadelphia Phillies 10-0 tonight in what I would call was the ugliest loss of the season by far. They have now gone 5-16 in their last 21 games and are in their worst strecth since their 5-13 start to begin the season. They are in a deep funk and continue to slide deeper and deeper into baseball oblivion. Dillon Gee was torched for eight runs and six walks in 3.2 innings pitched; the [...]

Despite the best efforts of Bobby Parnell and umpire Todd Tichenor, the Mets were able to end their 5-game skid and take the opener by a final score of 5-4. With the scrapping, “Never Say Die” Mets bravado returning after being nowhere to be found in Arizona, last night’s victory, capped off by Jason Isringhausen’s 300th career save, was truly a sight for sore eyes. The Mets were first to draw blood when Lucas Duda and Josh [...]
