Good morning Mets fans! A day after suffering a heart attack, Darryl Strawberry posted a positive message on his Instagram Tuesday night, which also happened to be his 62nd birthday. “I have a lot to be grateful for on my 62nd birthday today, celebrating the gift of my life and love of family! We thank God for this recovery process! Blessed,” the post read. Hours earlier, Strawberry had made...
After their upset of the 2000 Mets, the 2019 Mets took on the 2006 Mets—perhaps the best Mets team this century—in the latest Mets Madness series. The ’19 team, managed by Allison Waxman, looked on their way to another shocking series win, but David Wright and the ’06 Mets, managed by myself, turned their real-life Game 7 woes around. The ’06 Mets ultimately took the series in...
In one of the most shocking series of the first round of the Mets Madness tournament, the 2019 Mets showed what could have been as they defeated the 2000 Mets in seven games. The 2019 team, managed by MMO editor Allison Waxman, came through with the bat in the big moments, and their pitchers dominated. Led by two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, the 2019 starting rotation gave up nine...
It’s almost time. Mets pitchers and catchers report to spring training in just 12 days, and the first exhibition games are not too far behind, set for February 25 with both a day and night game. The Major League Baseball schedule is taking a more complete look, as game times are now available, and Peacock has announced its schedule for the weekly early Sunday game (the Mets have one...
August 2 of this past season left a lot of fans and pundits a tad puzzled at Billy Eppler and the New York Mets’ trade deadline approach. Interestingly enough, Friday morning Eppler defended the team’s decision making once again explaining that he has “no regrets” with how the deadline was handled. The approach that the Mets took was one that showed great conservatism....

Update: June 7, 11:20 P.M. Pete Alonso avoided broken bones in his hand. X-rays on the first baseman’s right hand came back negative the Mets announced. Starling Marte was diagnosed with left quad tightness. Both will undergo further imaging. Original Story Pete Alonso left Tuesday’s game against the San Diego Padres after he was hit in the hand by a pitch from Yu Darvish, and...
Eduardo Escobar might be in danger of losing his everyday role. The Mets third baseman has stumbled in the batter’s box during the month of May while his defense has been nothing special. It could open up playing time for the much-maligned J.D. Davis at the hot corner. Escobar has struggled since the months rolled over. Through the Mets first seven games in May, Escobar is 4-for-32 with...
It’s been one day since the Mets decided to designate Robinson Cano for assignment and eat the remaining $44,703,297 remaining on his contract. Some (me) might say it was a month too late but I’ll neglect the process with the Mets having a National League-best 18-8 record. Instead of Cano taking up at-bats and playing time, general manager Billy Eppler put his personal opinions aside...
