Good Morning, Mets fans! It is a strange and somber time in baseball right now, with the Mets and Marlins opting not to play yesterday in a stand against social injustice. They will play a doubleheader today against the Yankees, with first pitch of game one set for 4:05 PM at Yankee Stadium. Latest Mets News The Mets and Marlins took the field, held a 42-second moment of silence, then left the...
When he removed his Mets uniform for the final time he was our all-time leader in hits, runs, RBI, doubles and 2nd in batting average. There was no fanfare, no celebration of his achievements, no day honoring his accomplishments after a decade of playing in New York. Instead, he lumbered away, head down, disgraced, a beaten man. He’s one of very few Mets who can call himself a two-time pennant...

An MMO Fan Shot by MetsFanInParadise The love of baseball runs through families. It’s passed from grandparent or parent to child. The bond baseball can form between between a father and child can be a special thing. It’s often portrayed in various art forms, and sports can be one medium across which the bond is built. The recent publicity about Adam LaRoche and his son is proof of...
The Mets. The Braves. Late September. This is what a pennant race is all about. It was the 148th game that season and the defending NL Champion Mets were surging. We’d cut the lead from 13 ½ to just 5 ½ and now the first place Braves were coming to town. At least, that’s what a pennant race should be about. But on this September night there was not the usual electricity in the air that...

Thinking back on my college days, I remember my squeaky voiced coach telling us every practice on Friday night, “Don’t worry about winning every game, worry about winning the series.” Back then we played a doubleheader on Saturday and a single game on Sunday. It made sense – winning 2 out of 3 against eight conference teams would generate a 16-8 record. Things aren’t quite the same with a 162...
A lot has been made about the Mets´ offensive struggles this year and whether Citi Field has been detrimental in that regard. And indeed, the collective performance of David Wright and Curtis Granderson has been well below expectations in 2014 thus far. Both currently are sporting an OPS well over.150 points below their career norms. Granderson has shown signs of life lately but Wright´s...
Despite a heart-breaking loss on Opening Day, a game that had the Mets only three outs away from victory, there were a couple of bright spots worth mentioning. While many may overreact to the team’s first loss and are focusing on another classic bullpen collapse, Eric Young striking out four times while batting leadoff, and Curtis Granderson’s 0-for-5 Mets debut, we did have two...
FLORES SINGLES FOR HIS FIRST MLB HIT The Mets took their second straight game against the Rockies and beat them by the score of 5-0 on the strength of a dazzling pitching performance by Matt Harvey and a stunning offensive showing by Wilmer Flores. Wow, what a performance by Matt Harvey… In spectacular fashion, Harvey tossed the first shutout of his career tonight – a four-hit gem...
I feel sorry for all those saps who claimed they wouldn’t go see or in some cases watch this team because of some stupid protest against the Mets owners. What about all the princes and paupers who predicted doom and gloom and falling attendance, and the seers and prophets who refused to give this Mets team a chance? What a bunch of whiny, uninformed, poor excuse for Met fans they turned...
