Jose Reyes was just named the National League Player of the Month for April!  How awesome is that! Only a few days ago on this site, we named Jose Reyes Mets Merized Player of the Month for April. Apparently, Major League Baseball agreed with our writer Michele!! Check out what Adam Rubin had to say about it in in his article! Reyes entered today’s action leading Major League Baseball with 17 stolen bases and five triples. The 2006 [...]

Last night was a strange night as I watched the Mets fall to the Florida Marlins 9-6 on SNY. During the 7th inning, I was suddenly overcome by a deep feeling of deja vu’. I believed that I was watching the Yankees playing at Yankee Stadium and that Alex Rodriguez was at the plate, but when I looked closer at the television screen, it wasn’t ARod at all, it was David Wright. And while my [...]

On Tuesday I attended my second game of the year.  Baseball has been part of our lives of my family and sitting in the Mezzanine out in right field, I was reminded why I love this pastime and [...]

Looks like Paul Lo Duca will get a well deserved day off after bruising his hand Wednesday in the Phillies game. Although he attempted to play last night, the pain was clearly affecting his swing. The interesting thing to note is that it is not David Wright replacing him in the two hole, or even Jose Valentin. It’s Carlos Beltran! I love the look of this line-up, what do you guys think?? 1. Reyes – [...]

During our first two Mets Tickets Contests, we asked you questions about the 2006 Mets. This time we will take you back to the magical season of 1986. Here goes… I was born in 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii. I broke into the major leagues at age 20 with the Los Angeles [...]

Finally, after a six game road trip to start the season, the Mets roll into Shea this afternoon with an impressive 4-2 record. Sure they could have easily been 6-0, but I’m not going to get all bent out of shape with a .666 winning percentage on the road. There are some interesting caveats that came out of the Mets’ first week of the season. Chief among them is probably Willie’s decision not to tamper [...]

It’s been said that all good things must come to an end. I guess that applies to winning streaks too. You didn’t really think we were gonna go 162-0 did you? OK, so did I. By now you all know we lost today 5-3. It was a tough game that could have gone either way. The weather definitely had an effect on the results. It was 45 degrees at game time and the 21 mph [...]

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the Mets would start the 2007 season with an opportunity to sweep the World Champion Cardinals, and to do it on the road. The final game of the three game series, falls on the shoulders or should I say arm, of John Maine. Maine had a terrific spring and had a few impressive outings last month, but alas those games didn’t count, and tonight’s contest [...]

Orlando Hernandez will take the mound tonight against the Cardinals after a day off yesterday. El Duque had a very impressive performance in his final spring training tune-up and I would suspect that he is up for the task. I’m still all tingly from crashing the Card’s flag raising party on Sunday. When I looked at the box scores last night I couldn’t help smiling when I saw that the Phillies got beat in their [...]

I must say that yesterday was quite a great day to be a Mets fan. No, we didn’t win any pennants or a fifty pound gold trophy with a bunch of little flags that go around it. It was a great day because our beloved team took the field and absolutely shined last night in St. Louis. It was a pleasure to see the Cardinals and their fans get some dirt kicked in their faces, [...]
