Considering all the emphasis and changes the Mets made to their medical staff this off-season, it’s funny that Sandy Alderson gets flustered when asked about the rash of injuries this year. To think, we’re just hitting June.

The Mets Have Way Bigger Problems Than Jose Reyes
Almost back to .500 after an 11-1 start and people want to blame Jose Reyes for the Mets play of late?!? Instead of yunno, Sandy Alderson and his horrible signing of Jason Vargas or Jay Bruce’s struggling start or a bullpen that continues to implode (esp. A.J. Ramos and Jerry Blevins). Forget that Reyes is…
Lenny Dykstra…In The News Again For All The Wrong Reasons
Allegedly putting a gun to a Uber driver’s head and making terrorist threats, all the while possessing illegal drugs?!? The man is clearly beyond sick.
There’s No Excuse for Losing a Series to the Marlins
To think, with all the heat the Marlins got this off-season for trading away their star players and allegedly giving up on the 2018 season, we can only score 4 runs in 3 games against this wannabee Triple-A team?!? Embarrassing.
Mets Sweep Diamondbacks
Huge sweep, at home no less. And all without their best hitter. Great pitching by Noah and a huge pinch-hit HR by Cabrera, our MVP this season. Now we got the lowly Marlins coming up…let’s keep taking care of business.
Juan Lagares Is Done For The Season
MLB.com: Regardless what the future still holds, injuries will always define Juan Lagares’ Mets career. Never has Lagares, the Mets’ Gold Glove center fielder, enjoyed a full, healthy big league season. This year, he did not come particularly close. Lagares is expected to miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in the…
Yoenis Cespedes Is On The DL…Again
MLB.com: An offseason focused on flexibility and injury prevention did not allow Yoenis Cespedes to avoid the disabled list. Following days of consideration, the Mets opted Wednesday to place Cespedes on the 10-day DL with a strained right hip flexor, retroactive to Monday. Cespedes will be eligible to return May 24. Injuring his hip in…
Is Amed Rosario a Bust?
I know. I know. It’s way too soon to tell if Rosario’s a bust or not. But all the hype surrounding this guy last year and so far, other than an outstanding arm, nothing about this guy has impressed me. I mean, the guy can’t run, he swings at way too many balls out of…
Mets To Skip Jason Vargas’ Next Start
ESPN.com: The New York Mets will skip struggling left-hander Jason Vargas’ next turn in the rotation on Tuesday. Manager Mickey Callaway said Friday that Vargas will instead throw a simulated game before the Mets host Toronto. Vargas is 0-3 with a 13.86 ERA since returning from surgery on his right hand. “You’ve got to look…
Adam Schein: No Major League Team Should Sign Matt Harvey
I wouldn’t go as far as Schein does here, especially when I still think that Harvey deserved another chance to start after what would be his last start against the Braves a few weeks ago. I don’t think that Harvey’s done just yet, the guy has too much talent to be done this soon in…
