It may have lacked the pure drama of Friday’s game, when the New York Mets (61-56) scored four in the bottom of the ninth to stun the Washington Nationals, 7-6, but you couldn’t tell by the decibel level at Citi Field. The echos of victory are still reverberating through Flushing as the Mets came back twice to beat Washington, 4-3, to take the first two games of the series. (box...

A MMO Fan Shot by Larry Smith I’ll give Brodie Van Wagenen this – he’s proactive. I don’t think that Sandy Alderson would have jumped on Joe Panik or Brad Brach in recent years. Personally I don’t expect the Panik move will work out but I’m quite confident that Brach might just pan out. Here’s my thinking.

One day before the All-Star break, July 7, I’m with my friends from this website at Citi Field watching the New York Mets take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Everyone in the ballpark is booing the team as Zack Wheeler implodes and the Mets lose 8-3, all while the sad irony of Jay Bruce hitting two home runs at Citi Field for the Phillies kicks in.

Coming out of the All-Star break, New York Mets first baseman, rookie Pete Alonso, struggled mightily. Major-league hurlers, well-honed in their craft and ready, willing, and able to attack a hitter’s weaknesses, did so in spades against the Metsies’ slugging neophyte.
