Now, the team is alive and well. The Mets are 7-3 since their dreadful start, taking series from the Reds, Braves, and Royals, and on Monday night won their eighth win in eleven tries. A...
What a very, very, very special weekend at Citi Field. Not only was one of the best players in franchise history honored, but the New York Mets also clinched the series against the Kansas City Royals on Doc Gooden Day.
