Say what you want about last night’s stinker against the Nats, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet. It’s become quite clear to me that this Mets team plays a heck of a lot better when they are doing the chasing rather than being chased. While last night’s loss represented a big blow to the confidence of a team that was already lacking the killer...

I came across an interesting blurb by Matt Cerrone as I was checking out MetsBlog this morning. While commenting on David Wright’s post game comments, Matt wrote… Wright better be careful, especially with his post-game comments, as, from what I can tell listening to other fans, he is walking dangerously close to being portrayed like Alex Rodriguez, i.e., a fat stat line,...

How can it end when the Mets themselves keep bringing it up? John Lannan, who was lit up by the Mets only last...

Joe Blanton notched a 7-3 victory for the Phillies in the first game. For the Phillies it was a night to remember… for the Mets it was a day that brought...
