The Mets came back from a 4-0 deficit to defeat the Cincinnati Reds, 9-4. (Box Score) New York had runners on base in every inning, and scratched and clawed their way into a tie game, before David Wright and Ronny Cedeno blasted the Mets into the lead. Missed opportunities The Mets couldn’t capitalize on early …

Confession: I didn’t see the game tonight, I only just saw the highlights. Not much to see, save for a dominating performance by a former Cy Young winner, Zach Greinke, and a rough night for Dillon Gee. Then there was the top of the 7th. The struggling Rickie Weeks found the cure for his prolonged …

I had this dream – it was about the Mets. They were playing the Phillies and Roy Halladay. In this dream I was on my way to the sports bar to watch the game with a friend. The game had already started, and I was yelling at Jonathon Niese through my radio. ”Oh good, fall …

The second and final game I attended at Coors Field began with a pre-game beverage at a bar called “1UP.” It’s an establishment whose theme is 80s arcade games. And they have plenty of them – Pac Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders, and my personal favorite, Operation Wolf. There are other 80s-themed features such as Pabst …

The Houston Astros (11-14) completed their sweep of the New York Mets (13-12) today, taking the final game of the 3-game series by a score of 8-1. As was the case on Friday, Chris Schwinden (0-1) and Manny Acosta got hammered. Schwinden looked like he was lobbing beach balls over the middle of the plate, and …

I’ve lived in Colorado for the better part of the last 15 years. When I was 25, I left my cushy-but-boring job at WWOR-TV to branch out and join a broadcast software company in Colorado Springs. I didn’t miss ‘OR all that much, but I did miss all the free Mets tickets. While I haven’t …

The Mets dropped 2 out of 3 from the Braves in Atlanta this week. We learned this team can look very good one day (Monday’s 6-1 win), and very bad the next (Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s beatdowns). Let’s see what else we learned. Hitting The Mets lineup pounded out 30 hits over the three-game series, but …

Nine games are in the books in 2012, and the Mets have won six of them. Certainly a better start than most predicted. Getting off to a good start was important to this team. It gives the fans a modicum of hope, and reason to go to the ballpark, watch the games on TV and …

The second series of the year is history, and it wasn’t nearly as encouraging as the first. The Washington Nationals took 2 of 3 from the Mets at Citi Field, and David Wright missed the last two games of the series with a broken pinky finger. So, what did we learn from this series? Hitting …

The first series of the season could not have gone better for the Mets. Following the Misery and Malaise of the offseason, and the inauspicious Pre-Season, the Metropolitans swept their late 20th century nemesis, the Atlanta Braves, to start the season 3-0. So what can we take away from the first 3 games of the …
