Instead, the struggling club lost their season-high fifth straight game. After losing in disappointing fashion, the Mets look to rebound this evening in the continuation of a three-game series against the first-place Washington Nationals. New York lost its final game before the All-Star break to begin its current slide, which continued with a three-game sweep at the hands of the hosting Atlanta Braves last weekend. Following a needed off day, the Mets looked to have their skid snapped when Jordany Valdespin hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning, but Bobby Parnell gave up a run-scoring single...

Ryan Zimmerman Feeling Effects Of Cortisone Shot

Now that we've made it past the All-Star break, Ryan Zimmerman is due for another cortisone cocktail, according to the Washington Post. The shot in his shoulder will reduce inflammation in his AC joint, and prevent him from feeling pain when he hits. Zimmerman said that the ability he regained after receiving the shot made him “happier,” and it has been making Nationals fans...

Zimmermann is Nats' third ace

On a team with All-Stars Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez combining for 22 wins, Washington Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann can get overlooked. Maybe not as flashy as his rotation counterparts, Zimmermann has been more consistent. Manager Davey Johnson believes Zimmermann is a No. 1 starter, but Johnson doesn't need to go around telling anyone else how good the Wisconsin...

Post All-Star Swoon Continues in 4-3 Loss to Nats

“…and then I put in Batista and your home run meant NOTHING!” What a tease. The Mets made it interesting on Wednesday night — they always seem to do at least that — but the bottom line in a 4-3 loss to the Washington Nationals was that Chris Young can’t go deep into games and the Mets bullpen can’t stop teams from scoring. New York put the two together and the result...

These Mets Won’t Get It Done

It’s all fun and games until the Mets find themselves a half a dozen games back in the division and fading.
