What a sight! For the first time, the New York Mets popped bottles at Citi Field! With the 4-1 win over the division rival Phillies, the Mets move on to the National League Championship Series for the ninth time in franchise history! It was a spectacularly improbable run for a team that was 11 games below .500 at the end of May. Local sports talkers (and MMO commenters) were starting to stir...

The Giants loaded the bases behind singles from Jorge Soler and Michael Conforto, and a walk...

Do the New York Giants and San Francisco Giants ever get together? If Mike Francesa doesn’t know, nobody will. Playing for the Bay Area’s National League baseball team and the current New York NL resident that took their place (and their main color) is as close as we can get. Here are a few who suited up in blue, orange, and black. Willie Mays – Giants (1951-72), Mets (1972-73)...

Entering the 2023 season, the Mets were projected to have Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga, José Quintana, and Carlos Carrasco in their rotation. On Friday night, four of those five pitchers were out of the lineup, and Joey Lucchesi, who hadn’t pitched in the majors since June of 2021, gave the Mets some much-needed length as the Mets beat the Giants, 7-0. Lucchesi was simply...

The Mets needed more hitting and less drama. In late July 2015, they got both. The week leading up to the trade deadline, the Mets began seeking a bat that would jump-start a lifeless offense. This as New York teetered at the .500 mark yet had first place in its sights. It ended with the Mets landing that key bat and beginning their surge to the National League East title and, ultimately, the...

He won the Rookie of the Year award in the National League. And on September 15, he opened a game against the Marlins by striking out the first eight batters. Strikeouts are not new to deGrom, who despite being on...
It was a crazy week — even by Mets standards. It began with the team seeking help before the trade deadline — specifically a bat that would jump-start a lifeless offense — as it teetered on the .500 mark but had first place still in its sights. It ended with the Mets landing that key bat and beginning their surge to the NL East title and, ultimately, the pennant. In between...
