The first game of the Mets’ massive four-game series with the Phillies on Monday night featured a pitching matchup of Nolan McLean and Aaron Nola that heavily favored the Mets. After all, McLean dominated the Phillies for eight scoreless innings the last time he faced them, and Nola entered Monday’s action with a 6.78 ERA on the season. But that’s why games are played on fields...

The New York Mets are back at Citi Field for a big game Tuesday, you may have heard. A pre-game and post-game block party is planned. Rally towels. Grimace is not throwing out the first pitch (fans will have to settle for Keith Hernandez tossing to John Franco), but there will be an 11-car, “Grimace-wrapped” 7 train departing Manhattan’s Hudson Yards at 1 p.m. bound for Citi...
Games 1 and 2 of the National League Division Series have been anything but boring. The Mets emerged victorious with a five-run eighth inning in Game 1, but the Phillies returned in a back-and-forth Game 2 and walked it off. With the series now tied 1-1, playoff baseball returns to Citi Field for the first time since 2022. Better yet, a NLDS returns to Citi Field for the first time since 2015!...

The New York Mets are back, playing in the National League Division Series for the first time since 2015. Wow, that sounds great! But, let’s not forget that the Mets were a few minutes away from their season ending at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers. That was until Pete Alonso had what is the greatest moment of career, hitting a go-ahead three-run home run in the ninth inning of Game 3....

Good morning, Mets fans! What a win! The Mets looked lifeless for the first eight innings of the rubber game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon, going into the ninth with no hits. However, Bowden Francis, who was looking to complete his no-hit bid, was rudely greeted by the potential NL MVP Francisco Lindor. Lindor ripped a fastball into the right field bleachers to tie the game at one...
The Mets (19-21) are nearly a quarter of the way through the 2024 season, and just now are they facing the division rival Phillies (29-13) for the first time. Entering Monday’s action, the Mets have been subpar to average, whereas the Phillies have had the best record and the second-best run differential in baseball.
