Starting Lineup Andres Torres – CF Mike Baxter – DH Daniel Murphy – 2B Lucas Duda – RF Ike Davis – 1B Justin Turner – 3B Kirk Nieuwenhuis – LF Ronny Cedeno – SS Mike Nickeas – C Game Preview Last night’s game was a stinker. This afternoon the Mets look to bounce back as they take on the Blue Jays for game two. Anyway, in this afternoon’s game Miguel Batista will get the call [...]

Recap: The ink on his contract has dried, his Rangers jersey is packed away, but Jon Niese was not smiling tonight. He had a few good pitches, but the Blue Jays were just absolutely dominant tonight. Niese’s Achilles heel has always been the long ball, and the Jays had that going for them. Niese allowed a career high four homeruns in the first three innings and two came from the same guy. Three innings, eight [...]

The Mets make the journey up north to America’s Hat to open up an interleague series against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight. The Mets split each of their last two series and finally got firing on all cylinders yesterday as they rolled past the Reds by a score 9-4. The Mets made a comeback bid, went for the kill in the bottom of the eighth and then held it for the ninth. In tonight’s game, Niese will [...]

There’s nothing like a little controversy to keep us all busy for the next 6+ hours before first pitch tonight huh? Doesn’t it seem like whenever the Mets lose the final game of a series, there is always that “how will they bounce back from ____?” Whether it be a bullpen disaster, injuries, or a dispute in the dugout. They always make it interesting don’t they? Tonight, the odd 2 game NL Central theme continues. [...]

Mets got beaten all-around tonight in an 8-0 Brewers victory. Summary Well, it was not Francisco tonight. There is no nice way to say this – we just did not have it tonight. The offense bit and Collins made one really intriguing decision… Oh, Dillon Gee was not on his game either. So the aforementioned Gee started tonight and pitched into the sixth ineffectively – allowing 8 H and 7 ER, with the main blows [...]

Buffalo 9, Charlotte 3 By Tim Burns The Buffalo Bisons ended their week long road trip on a positive note in Charlotte on Monday night, defeating the Knights by a score of 9-3. The Herd tied the four game series with the Knights, each winning two games apiece. Coupled with their three wins, out of four games, against the Gwinnett Braves earlier in the week, the Bisons are returning home with a record of 22-16, [...]

Recap He came up to the mound, everyone doubting him and he shocked the world. Miguel Batista was on fire tonight! He dominated the Brewers tonight and lasted longer than most of our starters do. Going seven strong innings, only allowing four hits, one walk, striking out five and at one point set down 12 of 13 batters he faced. He impressed me and impressed everyone. He’ll earn himself one more start. He walks away [...]

Recap: Despite a valiant effort by Jon Niese and the New York Mets, who have scratched and clawed for every win this year, the bullpen for the second time this series could not hold it together, dropping the rubber game on a walk-off grand slam by Mike Giancarlo Stanton, 8-4. Niese took the hill despite not feeling his best and handed the Amazin’s goose eggs over six frames before being taken out for a pinch hitter [...]

Not even two months into the season, the Mets have played better then many have expected them to. At 19-14, the Mets are now one and a half games behind the first place Washington Nationals. From Nieuwenhuis to Duda, the team has been lead by a young bunch. Though David Wright has had a rough first three seasons at Citi Field, he has seemed to have found the stroke that once made him a fixture [...]

Recap The roof opened up on the new Marlins Stadium just in time for our lovable Mets to see it’s lights, fish tanks, and once again those ugly Marlins jerseys. On this historical night – the Mets’ eight-thousandth regular season game – the Amazins were still looking to get that glaring no no-hitter monkey off their back. Johan Santana continues to be the Santana of old. The Mets ace was dominant going six innings and [...]
