Of all the mistakes Sandy Alderson has made as Mets GM, none look more egregious than the non-tendering of Justin Turner. In fact, letting go of Turner looks like one of the all-time bad moves in Mets history. Friday night, even more salt was thrown into the wound. The infielder clubbed a three-run homer off Taijuan Walker in Game 1 of the NLDS to help propel Los Angeles to victory. In a playoff...
Well, the Mets are not in the playoffs for the first time in three years but there are still reasons to get excited for playoff baseball.

We all have dreams in life. We all strive for something better, something that fulfills us and makes us feel like we truly found the right calling. Whatever the desired goal is, it’s usually an arduous uphill battle to achieve it. No one ever said it would be easy. Hard work, sleepless nights, and, at times, self-doubt creep in and try to deter us from reaching our desired ambitions....
“Journey,” is how Kevin Burkhardt described his time with SNY and the Mets. It certainly has been a journey for Burkhardt, who 10 years ago made his primary living as a car salesman in New Jersey. However, once SNY entered the picture, everything changed. High quality reporting as the color man on TV broadcasts and a little faith from the network have caused Burkhardt’s career...

He talked to real fans...
There’s news aplenty out of the Mets sports network, SNY. First something that we at the Di-Jest applaud. The programming department has now finally and officially abandoned their plan to find someone to fill the Ralph Kiner role in the Mets TV booth. The SNY suits thought that it was possible to find some mature individual to visit with Gary, Keith, and Ron about once every few weeks for an...
What an stunning and deflating loss last night. I don’t mind losing, I can handle losing, but it’s the agonizingly, torturous ways we lose that kill me. And last night’s gut-punch was the worst of the season. You know, I started to get that feeling of impending doom in the bottom of the sixth when Zack Wheeler came up to hit assuring that he was coming out to pitch the seventh....
Kevin Burkhardt will be the host of the all new Fox MLB pregame and post-game show for the 2014 season. Burkhardt will still continue to work as the roving reporter during Mets games on SNY, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot less of him as mainstream media is now onto his amazing talents behind a mic. From the official press release by Fox: FOX Sports lifts the curtain on 2014 by...
There is today’s winner for best banner during today’s Mets Banner Day Parade before the game. If I might say so myself, they did a fantastic job and out of the banners the Mets posted on their Twitter account today, I liked this one the best myself. Here are some of the other images the Mets tweeted or re-tweeted today, and also a few from New York Newsday: I loved the message in...
As unusual as it might sound from a pitcher who has given up six hits in 22 innings with three wins, 25 strikeouts and a 0.82 ERA, Matt Harvey wants to improve. Its always interesting when you hear the opposing press rave about a player. Patrick Reusse, legendary Twin Cities sportswriter, and a few others peppered me with questions about Harvey as I was one of the first members of the Mets press...
