According to the New York Post, the New York Mets along with Borough President Melinda Katz will host a Hometown Rally at Queens Borough Hall on Monday — the day before Game 1 of the World Series. The rally will take place between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and will give fans a chance to cheer on the team as they get ready to compete in their first World Series in 15 years and hopefully bring the...
Jon Niese, being counted among the rotation New Yorkers “knew they had it in them,” has his work cut out for him for tonight’s finale in the Bronx. Nathan Eovaldi of the Yankees has 14 K’s in just under two game’s worth of innings pitched. The question for Niese tonight will be whether or not he can widen that K/BB ratio and keep the Bombers off the bases. It may...
You may have heard the Mets announced some new uniform changes for 2015 this morning… Well whoop-dee-freaking-doo… There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned uniform tweak to excite the masses and get them to closet their old jerseys and buy some new ones. Cha-ching… If they really want to excite me in November, how about they tweak our dysfunctional ownership group and...
After signing his new four-year deal with the Mets, outfielder Curtis Granderson created a stir – especially in the Yankees blogosphere – when he said “true New Yorkers are Mets fans.” Keven Kernan of the New York Post caught up with Grandy while he was visiting the children at Nathan Hale Elementary and Heritage Middle Schools in Chicago. Granderson said he has no regrets about his...
Look Who’s Smiling! The New York Mets just posted the first picture of Curtis Granderson sporting his new Mets cap and I gotta tell you, this is very exciting. Sandy Alderson: “We’re looking forward to having Curtis for the next few years.” Granderson: “I’m excited to begin my career with the New York Mets. Top to bottom the Mets are a great...
Citi, the New York Mets and the Mets Alumni Association presented by Citi hosted an unveiling of a new outdoor playground at the Shorefront Y, a United Neighborhood Houses (UNH) member, Monday in Brighton Beach, a continuing effort to help the New York/ New Jersey area following the devastation from Superstorm Sandy. Mets Hall-of-Famer and New York native John Franco was on-hand for the event,...
Last Sunday, it seemed the Mets were destined to continue their trek down a road they were all too familiar with. After eight innings of unimpressive play, the Mets were about to add to their losing streak. They had dropped their four previous match-ups and the offensively lacking team was two outs away from making it five. That’s when the recently recalled Kirk Nieuwenhuis gave the Mets...
The New York Mets today announced they will hold a Food Drive Wednesday, November 14 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Citi Field to benefit New Yorkers in need. Fans can drop off their food donation inside the Hodges VIP entrance next to the Mets Team Store. Fans donating 10 items or more of nonperishable nutritious food will receive a voucher redeemable for one pair of tickets to a select Mets...
I have to say, that although the 2011 version of the Mets is a win, a loss, a loss, a win, there have been no dearth of exciting comebacks this season. For instance, take last night. Down and almost out, they rallied with big hits by David Wright and Lucas Duda (he is starting to relax, and this kid has immense power) to stun the Padres 9-8. Uplifting to say the least, especially after the...
This is going to be short and sweet. So here we are slightly over two weeks into the 2011 season and already calls are being made for the team to be sold off into pieces like a Madoff estate sale. Lets deal Wright and Reyes for the coveted future phenom or phenoms, because certainly that’s what the Mets should get in return for either of them, right? Deal Beltran too. He can get us a few...
The best centerfielders in the game are the ones who cover the most ground. By doing so, they make everything easier for those around them. That’s exactly what Carlos Beltran has been doing recently, as he’s been spotted all over New York this week. First, he appeared at Citi Field for the MVP Reception on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he answered questions from Mets fans via Twitter. ...
