Jay Bruce is back and apparently healthy. Yet, the Mets being the Mets, have to find some way to screw things up and in this case, it’s making a guy whose played the outfield for 99% of his long career, play 1st base: NYPost.com: As the Mets evaluate their options for next season, manager…

Seth Lugo Wants To Be A Starter
MetsBlog.com: Seth Lugo has been a weapon for the Mets in the bullpen this season, but when asked Wednesday at Citi Field if he had thought about next year and what the future holds, he didn’t hesitate. “To be honest, I have,” Lugo told SNY’s Joe Kraus. “With the way I’ve been pitching this year…
Nationals Trade Daniel Murphy, Declare 2018 Season Over
With like 6 weeks left in the season, this comes as a bit of a surprise. But I guess Nats management figured with 2 teams (Braves and Phillies) to try and jump instead of 1, might as well get the fire sale started now and get some pieces back before it’s too late. They’re not…
Mets Talk About Their Little League Memories
David Wright Makes Minor-League Appearance After Long Absence

Could Double Digits in Wins Get Jacob deGrom the Cy Young?
Two wins in a row gets him to 7 total. And you have to figure that if everything stays on track, deGrom has about 6 or 7 starts left in him before the season ends. Felix Hernandez won a Cy Young with only 13 wins not too long ago. If deGrom stays atop in the…
Can the Mets Just Leave Amed Rosario Alone, Please?
This idea that the Mets rookie shortstop should learn to play center-field for 2019, much less bat leadoff with a current OBP of .274 is just ridiculous. This off-season, Rosarion should just be assigned to work on his defense and get a better appreciation of the strike zone. The kid has a load of talent,…
Why Isn’t Michael Conforto Getting More Criticism for the Horrible Year He’s Having?
I know that he came back this year from a major injury. But considering that he was an All-Star last year and is now in his 4th season in the big leagues, a .232/14HR/39RBI line just isn’t cutting it at all. Yet, Conforto continues to get the benefit of the doubt from the press along…
The Mets Should Not Trade DeGrom, Syndergaard, Matz or Wheeler
Sick and tired of all this trade talk about the Mets and one of their starters. I no it makes for good copy, but what does it do for us in the long run? What big name prospect out there can we really pick up for Wheeler? Even in a lost season like this one,…
Yoenis Cespedes Is Back and Dominic Smith Sent Down
They just have to be really careful with Cespedes, DH him at every opportunity, rest him when feasible and hey if he really can play 1st base and it’s easier on his legs, why not? As for Smith, what “expense” was there exactly? The guy has just never taken advantage of any opportunity that he’s…
1984 All-Star Game: Dwight Gooden Strikes Out The Side
Tonight is the 2018 All-Star game, so why not go back in time with my favorite All-Star game moment involving a Met.
Yes, The Mets Should Demote Dominic Smith
If the chatter is real, then yeah demote him. Like, yesterday. I’m long tired of the excuses. I mean, Smith doesn’t look lost at the plate, he looks like he doesn’t belong at the plate, Big difference. Which tells you that maybe, despite getting chance after chance, the guy just can’t hit major league hitting….
The Return of TJ Rivera?
This is good news: New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera made his first step back to the major leagues on Thursday night when he was the designated hitter for the Advanced-A St. Lucie Mets. Rivera, playing for the first time since last July, went 0-for-4 with two line outs as the No. 3 batter for…
Where Is David Wright Going To Play?
Of course, the idea that David Wright could return to the Mets lineup before Yoenis Cespedes is both funny and ironic considering what was thought to be the extent of each player’s injury. However, what if Wright really does make it back sooner than later? For starters, it’d speak a lot to Wright’s resiliency, fortitude,…
