It included himself and David Wright, Curtis Granderson and newly acquired outfielder Michael Cuddyer. Harvey may have been on to something with the title, but he should have bet strictly on homegrown talent like...
The Mets front office has been unsure of what to make of SS/2B Wilmer Flores. While New York does have a glaring hole at short, scouts were unsure whether or not Flores had the ability to play the position at the major league level. And even though the young Venezuelan projects to be a solid major league bat, he had shown little to back that up during the early going in limited and sporadic...
Dear Diary, Here I am in flight on my way back from Minnesota where I was a National League All-Star. I thought I would tell you about the experience while it was all still fresh in my memory. I’d love to say that it was totally magical and unforgettable and stuff like that. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first (last? only?) time I made an All Star team, but as you’ll see it wasn’t without...

Well, the Mets find themselves in a familiar position. Coming home from a nine-game road trip in which they went 6-3, they open a ten-game homestand against Atlanta with hopes of maintaining their success. Their record at Citi Field has been a problem since the new park opened. If this season is going to be any different, if the Mets dream of meeting Sandy Alderson’s lofty 90 win goal, it...
This had the feel of a real Mets game, guys — I do not know about you all, but I had an eerie feeling that the 1-0 score was never going to hold. The Mets were staked to a 1-0 lead after a Daniel Murphy RBI double in the top of the sixth, while Carlos Torres was completely in control through the first six innings of the game. Unfortunately, he ran into a little trouble in the bottom of the...
