And so Jonathon Niese took the mound in the first start since signing a five-year extension with the Mets. One might say it was his resurrection into the core of the Mets. The Mets took an early lead in the bottom of the first, when Tejada led off the inning with a deep double to …

The New York Mets announced today that they have dropped ties with their Gulf Coast League affiliate (link). This leaves the Mets with eight minor league affiliates, which is standard for a Major League Baseball club. Now I did a bit of research and tallied the number of affiliates for each MLB team, here’s the …

In the 2011 season the Mets’ bullpen racked up an ERA of 4.33, good for 3rd worst in all of baseball. Last night Sandy Alderson took measures to greatly improve the effectiveness of the team’s late-inning pitchers. Alderson traded Pagan for a replacement as well as a new reliever Ramon Ramirez, while he also signed …

Following today’s loss and sweep at the hands of the lowly Nationals, Terry Collins exploded in the press-game conference. His speech included the following disparaging quotes: “This has been an awful time. … I’m the manager of this team and I’m responsible. We didn’t manage, we didn’t coach and we didn’t play. It’s pretty simple.” …

After a lengthy rain delay, the Mets took on the Brewers tonight, and lost the game by a score of 6-1. The Mets were never really in the game as the Brewers scored their first run off Mike Pelfrey in the first inning, and later tacked on five more before the Mets rebounded with their …

Usually the trade deadline is the time for a New York fan to assess his (or her) team’s playoff prospects. Certainly that’s what we all prefer, in lieu of the other end of the spectrum: the fire sale. I wouldn’t call what Sandy Alderson accomplished a complete ‘fire sale,’ but there’s no doubt the Mets …

It is with RDM’s deepest condolences that we sadly announce the loss of Willie Harris and his wife’s unborn child. Harris’ wife went into labor only five months into the pregnancy, and the baby tragically did not survive. I have no idea what it’s like to lose a child, but I can only imagine the …

With Dickey surrendering 6 runs in only 4 innings pitched, the Mets were on the short end of a 6-2 game coming into the 5th inning. Turner and Beltran were walked to lead off the inning for the Mets, and after Murphy made out, Jason Bay had a clutch (!?) single to score Turner. Braves …

Somewhere, Omar Minaya has a “mission accomplished” banner strung up in his kitchen, celebrating the Mets’ current record. I firmly believe that Minaya’s long-term goal was to build a .500 baseball team, and the Mets have done just that – with mostly his players. So, congratulations Omar! Your hard work paid off! If you hadn’t …

As you open up this webpage and begin to read this piece, you no doubt will be expecting another reaction to Fred Wilpon’s roasting of his own franchise. And while I firmly believe his comments were deplorable, inappropriate, and generally lacked class, this piece is directed at my fellow Mets fans instead. There have been …
