The Mets have been shut out 7 times this year, but doesn’t it seem like more? The more I watch this team, the more I realize that their first half success was reliant almost entirely on the shoulders of the starting pitching and two-out RBI hits. And when the team doesn’t drive in any two-out [...]

I Would Ask “How Much Worse Can It Get”, But I’m Too Afraid of the Answer
Look, I’m aware that the Nationals are a very good team with excellent pitching, but ONE GAME isn’t too much to ask is it? Stephen Strausburg looked dominant today in the Nationals 5-2 win over the Mets, their second consecutive 5-2 victory over the Mets. In a nod to consistency, this is the third straight [...]
Something Needs to Change in This Bullpen…
Tonight, the Met offense provided the bullpen with two opportunities to close out the Nationals, and the bullpen could not do the job in either circumstance and fell to the Nationals 5-4. After Jordany Valdespin hit yet another big homer for the team in the ninth inning to take the lead, Bobby Parnell couldn’t hold [...]
Mets use ‘home-grown’ formula help to even series with Cubs

WAIT! I Think Murphy Just Homered Again
Wow. I guess this team woke up today, lead by Daniel Murphy finally breaking out of his home run slumber. Prior to today Daniel Murphy went 352 at bats (and 273 this season) without a homer. After he finally slugged his first of the year, he liked it so much, he did it again in [...]
R.A. Dickey is Unreal
Tonight, R.A. Dickey continued his unprecedented streak of domination. Dickey threw his second straight one-hitter tonight, and struck out 13 batters, while improving his record to 11-1. AT NO POINT heading into this season could you have convinced me that ANY Mets pitcher would be 11-1 with an ERA of 2.00. Currently Dickey is on [...]
R.A. Dickey blanks Nationals to help the Mets avoid the sweep
The New York Mets snapped a three-game skid on Thursday afternoon, defeating the Washington Nationals 3-1: R.A. Dickey started for NY, tossing 7 1/3 scoreless innings en route to his major league leading ninth victory of the season: Dickey baffled the Nationals limiting them to just four hits while never allowing a runner to pass [...]
Mets drop third-in-a-row, fall to 2 1/2 games behind the Nationals
The Mets scored in two consecutive innings and added another in the seventh but it wasn’t enough as they were defeated 5-3, dropping their third consecutive game and second to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night: Jeremy Hefner started for the Mets, allowing four runs, three earned, over six innings: The Nationals got to Hefner [...]
Dickey matches win total for last season with CG shutout of the Cards
Here’s a note to opposing teams; leave your bats at home, because they are useless against the New York Mets. Or at least, that seems to be the case when Johan Santana and R.A. Dickey are on the mound. A day after Santana made franchise history by pitching the first no hitter in the club’s [...]
