In many ways, the David Wright who ran onto the field for the first time as a major leaguer in July 2004 at Shea Stadium was the same David Wright who trotted out for the final time in September 2018. Within that 14-year span, he broke records, made seven All-Star teams, was an elite third baseman both in the field and at the plate, and was the face of a franchise that far too often didn’t...
By the measurement of time, it was a season. But if you compare the amount of incredible events to what you’d expect in a typical season, it felt like five… at least. It would have been difficult to predict this kind of year for the Mets before the schedule began, especially after starting 0-5, and pretty much inconceivable at the end of May. Just as challenging is trying to narrow...

It is another do-or-die game for the New York Mets on Sunday. In hopes to extending the National League Championship Series to a Game 7 in Los Angeles, the Mets will have to work some more of their magic and get another victory against the league’s best. In the potential decisive Game 6 matchup, who will each team go to on the mound? Sean Manaea Where would the Mets be if it wasn’t...
The magical carpet ride that is the 2024 New York Mets just continues to amaze. Against all odds, these remarkable Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies in four games to advance to the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2015. And, at this point, can you really bet against this team taking down either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the San Diego Padres and going all the way to...
When the darkest hour approaches, when the sky seems to be falling when you’ve been backed so far into a corner that you can’t even see the direction from which you came, those who believe will emerge into the spotlight. It’s safe to say that Francisco Lindor is a certified believer. The 30-year-old shortstop continued his reign of terror on his opponents this postseason on Wednesday night,...
Games 1 and 2 of the National League Division Series have been anything but boring. The Mets emerged victorious with a five-run eighth inning in Game 1, but the Phillies returned in a back-and-forth Game 2 and walked it off. With the series now tied 1-1, playoff baseball returns to Citi Field for the first time since 2022. Better yet, a NLDS returns to Citi Field for the first time since 2015!...
Good morning, Mets fans! For the first time in 16 days, the Mets will play a game at Citi Field, hosting the Phillies for Game 3 of the NLDS. Sean Manaea (12-6, 3.47 ERA) will take the hill for the Mets against Aaron Nola (14-8, 3.57 ERA). Manaea was solid in his first outing of the postseason, holding the Brewers to two runs over five innings. Nola faced the Mets twice this season, throwing a...
Keith Hernandez, the 1986 World Champ, one-third of the beloved GKR announcing team, and proud owner of Hadji the cat, will throw out the first pitch at Game 3 of the National League Division Series at Citi Field on Tuesday. The 70-year-old, 11-time Gold Glove winner will make the toss to fellow Mets Hall of Famer, John Franco. Daniel Murphy, the 2015 NLCS MVP, will throw out the first pitch for...
It has been a crazy week for the New York Mets, to say the least. From trailing in the ninth inning of Game 3 against Milwaukee with their backs against the wall, to a home run that made MLB history. From coming close to being shut out by a former Mets pitcher, to scoring five runs in the eighth inning to lead to a Game 1 win in Philadelphia. Mark Vientos did his best to create another magical...
After the New York Mets emerged victorious over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday, the page quickly turned to an all-important Game 2 on Sunday. A win, and the Mets take a commanding 2-0 lead in a five game series back home to Citi Field. Who will each team turn to on the mound in the high-stakes contest? Luis Severino After pitching Game...
Good morning, Mets fans! Carlos Mendoza announced the Mets’ pitching schedule for the first two games of the NLDS on Friday. Mendoza surprisingly announced, rather than Tylor Megill or David Peterson, that Kodai Senga would get the ball for Game 1, making just his second start all year. Mendoza then announced that Luis Severino will pitch Game 2 on the road on regular rest. Latest Mets...
