The Mets are not scheduled to appear on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball for the first few months of the season according to a press release issued by the network. There’s always the chance that the Mets will have games broadcasted on the fly during the second half of the season, which we’ve seen a lot of over the last few years. And I’m betting there will be plenty of interest in...
The Mets (62-73) lost to the Nationals (69-67) by a score of 6-5 Sunday night at Nationals Park. Jon Niese took the hill against Ross Ohlendorf as the Mets sought to sweep Washington on the road. Jon was handed a 2-0 lead before throwing a pitch thanks to Daniel Murphy’s RBI double and an RBI single from Lucas Duda. Matt den Dekker padded the lead in the top of the 2nd with his first MLB homer,...

It went all down hill for the Mets and Mike Pelfrey after that as those cheesy bums anihilated the Mets 10-0. Game Notes Mike Pelfrey started today for the Mets, and things were going pretty...
