The Mets hosted the Giants for the first game of a three-game set on Friday night. The game officially marked the beginning of the second half of the season for the Mets, and if this game is a sign of things to come, the team will only continue to disappoint. After a five-iinning start by Carlos Carrasco was followed up by two solid combined innings from Jeff Brigham and Brooks Raley, David...
Coming off the team’s first series win in a month, the Mets hosted the Guardians on Friday for the first game of a three-game series. In the first game between the two teams since the blockbuster trade that brought Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco to New York and sent Andrés Giménez and Amed Rosario to Cleveland, Carrasco got the start for the Mets against his former team while Cal...
There are many ways to acknowledge just how remarkable this 11th-hour turnaround a year ago really was. Before the Mets did it at Citizens Bank Park, there were 857 consecutive times that a team trailing by at least six runs entering the ninth had somehow figured out a way to win. Starling Marte’s long double off the wall was the punctuation. But this seven-run rally, like all comebacks of...

It’s been talked about, shown, and debated over and over. In film, in books, and in memories, October 25, 1986, is among the great days in the history of the universe for Mets fans and among the worst for Red Sox fans (even if it’s a lot easier to take now). What unfolded in the bottom of the 10th inning has been relived to a tremendous degree. Here’s a brief summary of what...
The St. Lucie Mets entered the ninth inning of the first game of their Championship Series down 5-4. After a Kevin Parada walk and two outs, the Mets found themselves down to their last out. That kind of pressure did not both Carlos Dominguez, however, as he blasted a two-run homer over the center field fence to give the Mets a lead that they would not relinquish. AAA: Syracuse Mets (59-82) 9,...
It’s rare that a comeback is largely forgotten, but the defensive wizardry displayed by Rey Ordóñez in his major league debut is still what’s most remembered from Opening Day 1996. The Mets had sliced a 6-0 deficit in half by the time the Cardinals were at bat with two outs in the top of the seventh and Royce Clayton on first. Ray Lankford went down the left field line — a hit that...
What more can be said? In books, in films, and in memories, October 25, 1986 is among the greatest days in the history of the universe for Mets fans and among the worst for Red Sox fans (albeit it’s a lot easier for them to take now).
