This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The ” I Was Wrong!” Edition 10-04-12

Well with yesterday’s 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins ( why couldn’t they win the final games over the Marlins in ’07 and ’08 – maybe the Mets present day situation would be a lot different these days) the 2012 Mets season mercifully came to a close. Yes now we have about a month of …

This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The “I’ts Almost Over” Edition 09-27-12

Today is a bittersweet day to say the least. Yes this Mets season has gone from a pleasant surprise to irrelevance quicker than Mo Vaughn can down 5 entire Two Boots Pizza pies with the works, but still I have to admit that I enjoy myself whenever I am at the Citi Morgue ( oops …

This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The “Random Thoughts” Edition 09-25-12

Well another Mets season is winding down and yet again this organization has more questions to ask themselves than answers. This off season looks like it will be  busy one – I doubt that there will be a lot – if any new  big ticket players making their home in Flushing, but with that said …

This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The ” Don’t Expect An Elevated Payroll For 2013″ Edition 08-19-12

A few thoughts on last nights win against the Giants

You know as well as I do how brutal the Mets have been—Personally,  I have had serious problems just watching or listening to them. I do feel, after Terry Collins made his proclamation regarding this road trip, that the Mets would turn it around. I’ll tell you what, at 2 in the morning I would have …

This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty: The “Random Thoughts” Edition 07-04-12

Last night’s 11-1 spanking of the Phillies marked the 81st game of the Mets season. As we all know this means that Mets baseball is half way through the ’12 season, and the Mets record stands at a respectable 44-37. I am sure that if you polled most Mets fans ( including myself) the consensus …

We Need Relief!

Say what you will about the defense in Tuesday’s 7-6 loss in Washington, but the bullpen was to blame. And this isn’t the first time. They have struggled since the beginning of this season and need help. Badly. Ironically, the bullpen was the only thing the front office spent money on this year- signing Frank Francisco and Jon …

Post Game: It’s that two out magic again! Mets win 7-4

  The Never-Say-Die-Three-Straight-Win-Mets were in Citizens Bank Park to try to take another game from the limping fighting Phillies.  Joe Blanton would stand in the way of Mike Pelfrey’s second replacement Miguel Batista who literally threw batting practice for the first three innings. The Phillies struck first in the bottom of the first inning when, …
