In a harsh rebuke of the front office, New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro points out how the Mets vowed in the spring of 2013 that this was going to be the year they blew the dust off their wallets and jumped back into the game, act like they own a team based in New York City, not Oklahoma City. “And, you know: act like True New Yorkers.” The Mets, who are 1-6 since asking their...

I am just sitting here trying to wrap my head around how unfriendly this road trip was. Things were supposed to be different for our Metsies away from Citi Field. They were last year anyway. As we all know they just wrapped up a three-city 9-game road trip on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins, finishing a disappointing 2-6 (one rainout).

There may be 129 games left to play, but it’s not an overreaction to say that the Mets are at a critical juncture of their season. After a pleasantly surprising start to the season, the Mets lost Wednesday to fall back under .500, an event that has proven to be a death knell the last couple years. In 2012 our collective hopes were kept up until July 22nd before a loss pushed the team below the...
