Mets News and Notes: The Mets were swept in a six-game homestand for the second time in the second half and are now 4-21 at Citi Field since the All-Star break. They have a day off before opening a weekend series in Milwaukee. Jon Niese (10-9, 3.47 ERA) opposes right-hander Mike Fiers (9-7, 3.05) in Friday's opener, followed by Jenrry Mejia's first major league start in two years on Saturday opposite right-hander Shaun Marcum (5-4, 3.71). Chris Young (4-7, 4.39) opposes right-hander Wily Peralta (1-0, 3.46) in Sunday's finale. Terry Collins said he met, along with David Wright, with Ryan Braun at the All-Star Game to try to ensure there would be no retaliation for D.J. Carrasco plunking Braun during a May series at Citi Field. Collins had pulled Wright from that game to ensure Milwaukee could not get a reprisal against him before leaving Queens. Collins believes Jason Bay's struggles may be related to slowed reaction times caused by a pair of serious conc...

Hey, Mets! Lock up David Wright long-term already!

Via Mets360.com  |  September 15, 2012
There is no other way to sugarcoat it. The Mets appear to be stringing along the end of the season. While it was nice for the Mets to actually score some runs and play spoiler on Friday night by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 7-3, the Mets are once again headed towards a losing season defined by another stumble to end the season. The Mets are now 4-8 in September. Aside from R.A...

Matt Harvey: Taking His Game To Another Level

Via Mets Merized Online  |  September 13, 2012
With one final start slated for Matt Harvey this season, it’s a good time to evaluate what we have seen from the young fireballer in 2012. Like many speculated, he had some really great outings, and some that would be best if forgotten all together. It is expected that the Mets’ young righthander will have his ups and downs, but Harvey has ultimately done enough to lock down...

David Wright: Extend, Trade, or Wait?

Via Fangraphs  |  September 14, 2012
A few weeks ago, David Wright told Jon Heyman that he was “extremely optimistic” about the chances of reaching a long term contract extension with the Mets, and said all the right things about loyalty, about the franchise heading in the right direction, and about idolizing Cal Ripken because he stayed with one team for his entire career. Generally, when you have a 29-year-old...

Going, Going, Gone: David Wright Edition

Via Mets Merized Online  |  September 13, 2012
It hard to think that after the stunning exit from the 2006 NLCS, the consecutive collapses that followed, the mediocre baseball since, and the gut check that was the departure of Jose Reyes, that things could actually get worse for our beloved Mets.  With the team poised to close out its worst campaign in at least four years, the organization isn’t exactly entering the offseason...

Mets trying to figure out what to do wiith Bay

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 13, 2012
On a near daily basis, the New York Mets try to find ways to salvage something out of Jason Bay's contract. Tuesday against the Nationals, for example, manager Terry Collins slotted Bay in left field against a right-handed pitcher because he thought Bay's superior defense could help R.A. Dickey win a game. But the Mets are paying Bay to be more than a novelty, and he still...

Harvey doesn't need to show Mets anything more this year

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 13, 2012
One start remains for New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey after the rookie struck out 10 batters in a 2-0 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. One more chance for Harvey to prove himself on the mound -- as if that's what the Mets still need him to do. "I don't think there's any more that I need to see," manager Terry Collins said before Wednesday's game...

Wally Backman Talks About Matt Harvey, Says He’s Never Seen Him Pitch Like This Before

Here’s a clip from SNY of Kevin Burkhardt interviewing Wally Backman who is now part of the Mets coaching staff since the minor league season ended. The subject is Mets rookie Matt Harvey who Backman says he’s never seen him pitch like this when he was at Triple-A Buffalo, and he wonders if Harvey was just bored in the minors and probably not going full tilt. Have a look and...

Mets Homer Twice In 7-3 Win Over Brewers

Via Mets Merized Online  |  September 14, 2012
Mets took game one against the Brewers thanks to a strong start from Jon Niese and bombs from Murphy and Duda. The offensive night led the Mets to a 7-3 victory in Milwaukee. Jon Niese had a great start, and had strong offense behind him. He needed that offense early, as he gives up two quick runs on three straight hits in the second. Niese bounced back nicely with several more...
