If the MLB Season Ended Today:

With approximately 125 games played so far this season, what would happen if the MLB playoffs began this week?  Who would be a definite lock-in for the postseason, who would be on the bubble and which teams would be watching the playoffs on television?  American League: Division Leaders: Houston Astros-West, Cleveland Guardians-Central, New York Yankees-East […]

Top Teams in Each Division of MLB 2022

MLB, or Major League Baseball, is a professional sports organization and the oldest league globally. As the league kicked off last April, 30 teams are now going toe to toe to have the best record in the season and secure spots for the playoffs. Throughout the years, many teams have made history and won one […]

Lindor Sends Mets to First Walk-off Win of ‘22

Francisco Lindor gave the Mets a first walk off win in the tenth inning against a red hot in form Giants in Citi Field. The reigning National League West-champion Giants were a hard test for Mets but Lindor conjured what they needed to win.  Mets Early Season Test The Mets vs Giants showdown was game […]

MLB News: Offseason Movers & Shakers

The MLB lockout is in full swing and whether the sides can negotiate a mutually beneficial agreement in the near future is anyone’s guess. But that doesn’t mean there weren’t some major signings before the owners padlocked the stadium gates. Below we will discuss which players are changing uniforms this season and who will have […]

The Not So Amazin’ Mets

 The first run they ever scored came on a balk. They lost the first nine games they ever played. Rumor has it they picked the name of the best pitcher (Tom Seaver) in their history out of a hat on April Fools’ Day.         They were supposed to be the replacement for the Brooklyn Dodgers and […]

Former New York Mets players representing most projected 2017 postseason teams

To say the 2017 season has been a disappointment for the New York Mets baseball team, its players and coaching staff, its fans, and the media is an understatement. Past season success and expectations had the ball club competing with the likes of the Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Dodgers for supremacy in […]

Can the New York Mets overcome their current controversies?

It has been 31 years since the New York Mets last won the World Series but only a couple since they played in the Fall Classic, with a 4-1 loss to Kansas City in the 2015 showpiece. The long-suffering fans will be hoping for return to the season finale this term but, even at such […]

Configuring the New York Mets 2016 roster

As spring training is about to start in Port St. Lucie, Florida, the New York Mets have to deal with expectations that are as high as they have been in years. Not just because they are coming off their fifth National League Pennant, but the fact that they are expected to do very well this […]

New York Mets best options for a right hand hitting OF/ 1B

If a grade could be given to the New York Mets 2015 off season, I guess it would vary based on one’s vested interest in rooting for the franchise. Outsiders (non- Mets fans) will continue to talk about the Mets projected starting staff, which of course features Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz […]

TEJADA’S OUT, UTLEY SUSPENDED!

BY ISMAEL NUNEZ If you missed it: This past October 11th, 2015 on Saturday night in the MLB playoff game between Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, the talk was not the Dodgers 5-2 victory it was the slide! Dodger 2nd Baseman Chase Utley slid into Mets Shortstop Tejada causing a broken fibula. Tejada is out for […]

The greatest mid season acquisition the Mets ever had?

Yoenis Cespedes has performed better than anyone could have imagined since his trade to the New York Mets from the Detroit Tigers. For a better part of the last calendar year or so, talk has been about the Mets need to add a franchise star caliber bat to their lineup. Comparisons were made to the […]

Dodgers and Mets have the excess to make a deal happen

I stay away from the so called “phantom trades” for the simple fact that baseball fans are very shortsighted. The thought behind a trade for most baseball fans is to see their team improved (on paper) at the expense of another team. If this just applied to the mongo fans, I would call it sheer […]

The Ruben Tejada approach and how it can be a detriment to Juan Lagares

The Mets have had few “can’t miss” position players come out of their system in recent years. David Wright, and prior to him, Jose Reyes were the last players that were expected to be able to perform at an All Star level. We all about the labeling players as “prospects” and know that a players […]

The Jason Bay roller coaster has finally idled to a complete stop

It looks as if the career of OF Jason Bay is finally coming to an end. As many would say (particularly fans of the New York Mets), it will probably be three years too late. It is self explanatory to describe the drop in Bay’s production; which saw a six year run with the Pittsburgh […]

What if Jordany Valdespin was Gregg Jefferies?

Jordany Valdespin gained a minor cult like following after he had some success during the 2012 season. I got to see Valdespin for a couple spring trainings before he made his MLB debut. I also watched him play a couple seasons in AA Binghamton. A line drive hitter with some speed, he never seemed like […]

Mets Cyber Monday value list for 2013

This is the 3rd consecutive year I have put together a list of some players that will likely command little money and could over perform over what they will get paid. With the continuous uncertainty over whether the Mets will be willing and or able to pay a player “market value”, there is a possibility […]

Recapping the Mets ML free agent signings over past three seasons

Money and payroll flexibility has had all to do with the Mets small presence in the free agent market over the past three seasons. With several payroll dollars coming off via expiring contracts, the Mets could be considered a team that will spend significant money this offseason through free agency. Of course, trades are a […]

Mets should not let Marlon Byrd fly away

“Outfield? What outfield?,” New York Mets’ GM Sandy Alderson famously wise-cracked in November.   Well, the Mets have at least one solid outfielder, and that’s no joke. And if they are smart, they will not let Marlon Byrd get away.   Byrd is having a terrific season, with 15 homers and a personal-best .498 slugging […]

To bunt, or not to bunt?

An excellent topic for baseball fans to discuss is the importance of the bunt. One may be in favor of it completely, while another may only prefer the bunt in certain cases such as a pitcher batting with a runner on base. Some are completely against it, stating it gives away outs- something at the […]

Most July veteran “dumps” net little to nothing in return

After every Mets loss, as I am sure it now applies to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Chicago and of course in Miami and Houston, the talk always heats up about what veteran players could be traded before the July 31st trading deadline. The ones leading the conversation, usually a beat writer or outspoken fans on […]

Analyzing the shortstops in the New York Mets system

The New York Mets have quietly tried to draft shortstops over the past several seasons. Most other teams do the same, as shortstops on high school and college teams tend to be the best athletes. While solid athletes like Wilmer Flores, Reese Havens and Robbie Shields were drafted as shortstops, Flores is in AAA Las […]

What should be expected from the Mets for the next five months

As the month of April is now behind us, the New York Mets are intent on trying to right the ship of what has been a disappointing month. To say it has been a struggle would be an understatement. Less than two weeks ago, we as the fans were giving the team respect for its […]

Scott Rice’s story and similarities to two other former MLB players

  New York Mets LHP Scott Rice made his major league debut Monday against the San Diego Padres. The 31 year old pitched a scoreless 9th inning, striking out two finishing off the Mets 11-2 victory. Rice had signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training and won a job as a […]

Time for fans to get over your frustrations with Johan Santana

Johan Santana did not live up to the expectations of the 6 year, $137.5 million contract he signed with the New York Mets in February of 2008. When he undergoes surgery Tuesday to repair the tear in his anterior capsule muscle for the second time, it will mean the end of his 2013 season. Of […]

Potential trade options for Mets OF, if interested

It would not be a surprise if the Mets move to acquire OF Collin Cowgill was the only one made to address the team’s putrid OF. More than likely though, the Mets will make at least one move to improve what has to be considered, at this point, the worst OF in MLB. The Astros, […]
