Today I was fortunate enough, as part of the last day of my Summer internship, to get on the field at Citi for Mets batting practice. As an obviously avid Mets fan, I can safely say I was a kid in a candy shop…it just so happened to be a candy shop full of Jose …

Did You Know?
With the season slowly winding down, the Mets continue their quest for .500 while giving a bunch of rookies the chance to make an impression in the Bigs. Once the season does come to a close, there will plenty of time to look back, analyze, and speculate as to what direction the team will take …

Post-Game: Another Series Won
The Mets wrapped up their weekend series against the Nats with a 6-3 win, again showing some live bats. I only caught the first four innings of this one but that was enough Pelfrey to see. He was laboring the whole day, evidenced by the whopping 106 pitches it took him to get through just …

Post-Game: Classic Parnell
Apologies for the delayed post-game but here’s a quick rundown of last night’s contest, which the Nats took by a final score of 8-7. Dillon Gee got the start and got rocked early, giving up 5 runs in the first 2 innings but settled down after that and finished with a 5 innings, 6-run effort. …

Post-Game: Finally, Some Offense
In very Dickey-like fashion, R.A. threw another quality start, going 6 innings and allowing just 3 earned despite serving up 9 hits. In very un-Dickey-like fashion, he got a ton of run support, and got it early. The Mets scored early and often in this one and took the series opener by a final score …

Post-Game: Thank You, Marlins
He’s written poetry. He’s published a novel. He’s working on another one. And tonight, wearing Glavine’s 47, Miguel Batista collected career win number 100. He gave up 2 runs early on but then settled down and finished up with 6 solid innings of work, throwing 97 pitches and striking out 3. Batista became just the …

Post-Game: Duda Is The Dude-a
After Capuano’s gem on Friday, it was somewhat disheartening to see him labor through the first inning, giving up two quick runs. The second inning was tough for him too, but he got out of it without surrendering a run. At that point in the game, Ron, Keith, and Gary noted that Cap was only …

Post-Game: I Guess 5 In A Row Was Asking A Bit Much
The Mets had no offense going in this one, knocking only 6 singles in the game and getting a runner past first base only twice, in the 1st and 8th innings tonight as the Marlins took this one relatively easily by a final score of 6-0. On a completely unsurprising note, Jason Bay is now …

Post-Game: Double-Header Sweep
After being swept in their first two double-headers this year, the Mets came up with a sweep of their own behind a 5-1 win against the free falling Marlins, who have just six wins this month. Gee bounced back nicely from his disaster against Philly, following up very strong outings by Cap and Dickey with …

Post-Game: Dickey Gets His 6th Win…Finally
The Mets put the free-swinging Marlins to rest in the opener of the double-header today behind a strong effort from R.A. Dickey, taking the contest 2-1. Dickey did what the Mets have been trying to do all year, stringing together consecutive strong outings by starting pitchers. After Capuano’s incredible 2 hit, 13 strikeout effort on …
