Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets hit a new low on Friday night, losing to the Angels 3-1 to fall into last place in the NL East for the first time since August 2020. Although the Mets are riding a tough three-game losing streak and have had a rough go of it from the beginning, the Mets being in last place is also a testament to how well the Nationals have played lately, playing at a 24-15...
Coming off of a seven-game road trip, the Mets traveled back home to take on the Angels for the first of a three-game series on Friday night. Fittingly, it was Japanese Heritage Night at the ballpark with not only Kodai Senga on the mound, but with Shohei Ohtani making his first visit to Queens.

The Mets announced that David Peterson will start the team’s series finale against the Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon. Peterson will take the place of Taijuan Walker, who was placed on the injured list earlier this week with right shoulder bursitis.

Yet there Walker was on the Citizens Bank Park mound on Monday night, making his first...

In many ways he is absolutely perfect in his on the field and off the field persona. Thanks to Wright’s four hit performance last night, the Mets find themselves all alone in first place in the National League East. I’m betting...
Today the Baltimore Orioles declined the option on pitcher Kris Benson and normally I wouldn’t even consider the thought of having him back on the Mets, but then something dawned on me.Maybe we should sign him as a number 5 pitcher and then after a few good starts we can trade him back to Baltimore, or anyone else for that matter, in exchange for one of their former first...
I hate Mondays, but at least this one this one won’t be so bad because I have a Mets game to look forward to after work.And, might I add, that yesterday’s sweep was absolutely fantastic and that I loved the back page of Newsday this morning with the title "STRAIGHT A’S." ha haAs you all know Carlos Delgado didn’t play yesterday, but check this little...
