Three in a row is a good start but honestly I won’t feel this team has turned it around until we see 8 wins out of 10 games or something like that.   more »

In May the Mets have won 2 games in a row just twice. There are all indications that this Mets team is not going to be a very competitive club this year. It’s a similar pattern every night.   more »

No hustle, no aggressiveness, and most importantly there is very little smart ball being played. We’ve seen this before, a collection of stars earning ridiculous salaries underachieving all the while.   more »

What fan can not appreciate Wright’s feelings about winning and losing?    more »

Remember this series. This is the turning point of the 2008 season. The Mets will either continue to founder or they will begin to show the talent they have.   more »

As Jose Reyes goes, so go the Mets. Nonsense and it’s a dumb excuse for a bad offense.   more »

With all due respect to Keith Hernandez, Darryl Strawberry, and Gary Carter, Mike was the best offensive player the Mets ever had.   more »

Up one day, down the next. Did you really think it would change? And to add insult to injury (literally), the team’s biggest star this year, Ryan Church, is out with another concussion...   more »

Umpires are human so mistakes will be made. That’s why instant replay should be used on homerun calls only! It should never be used for calls involving balls, strikes, or plays in the field, just home runs.   more »

It’s a franchise that never seems to be able to sustain success. They have given us just 7 post seasons in 46 completed seasons.    more »

The Mets are now just 1 game over .500 with 1 short of 40 played for the season. It’s really not the way you want the Mets to head into the subway series tomorrow night.   more »

Heilman’s performance is not really new. Last year, Aaron Heilman won the Mets bullpen under achievement award for blowing a total of 7 games. In those games, Aaron gave up the lead and left with the score tied or with the Mets trailing.   more »

Some observations – you realize what errors can do to a pitcher when you see the pitch count on the scoreboard. Last evening, Jose Reyes bobbled a ball that could have been turned into a double play.   more »

The Mets simply can’t send Joe Smith down. He has done a fine job in the pen and sending him down just because he has options is just plain wrong. What message would that send to the fans or even to the players for that matter?    more »

They are still leading the National League East, now by 3 games over the Mets. Meanwhile, the teams that should be contending, the Mets, Phillies, and Braves, can’t seem to get more than a few games over .500.    more »

After the rain out tonight, I decided to surf MLB.TV and see what’s going on around the Majors. It got me to thinking how things have advanced since I was a kid.   more »

Last night, yet another game the Mets gave away. By the end of the third inning last night the score should have been 8-0, Mets. Instead, all the Mets could muster was 4 runs.   more »

After that day last season the Mets started to spiral losing 9 of 10. Over the next couple of months the Mets were like a seesaw, win a few then lose a few. They stayed around 10 to 14 games over .500 but never could get away from the rest of the struggling division.   more »

Perhaps the shellacking they took from the Pirates helped wake up some of these players. Maybe it was Billy Wagner’s open criticism of Oliver Perez that did it.    more »

From 2004 to 2007, the Mets won 13 straight games against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix’s Chase Field. In ‘04, the Mets lost the first game of a three game set before taking the final two games.   more »

Well this is interesting. For the moment the Mets find themselves in first place without trying.    more »

Although the Mets have not gotten off to a great start, they are not in horrible shape by any means. They are 14-12, one half game behind the Marlins.   more »
