Mets News and Notes: The METS ARE A MESS..... They’re 11-26 since the All-Star break and dropped to nine games under .500 for the first time in three years following a 6-2 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday night, which prompted manager Terry Collins to hold a team meeting.

Collin McHugh Or Jenrry Mejia Could Replace Johan Santana On Thursday

Adam Rubin of ESPN New York says it’s possible RHP Jenrry Mejia could make Thursday’s start instead of Johan Santana.

After deciding that Santana would make his next start on Thursday, the Mets announced that Santana has a stiff back. He will have an MRI today...

The Mike Francesa Mets Rant

Yesterday afternoon, following the Mets 1-0 to the Rockies, Mike Francesa had an abbreviated version of his “Mike’s On” show on WFAN 660-AM in New York. What followed may have been one of the greatest rants in the history of Sports Radio. One that will go down in history considering the host and station that aired it. Did I agree with most of it, yeah I would say so. But comparing...

Prime Nine: New York Mets

Bernie Madoff took the Mets mojo and it might be years before they get it back. Sandy Alderson is certainly a good executive, but it will be tough for even him to get this thing turned around. He certainly kept them in the hunt this season for a few months, but the lack of talent kept them from remaining in the hunt. He has hinted that changes were coming next season...

Young starts strong, falls apart quickly in 6-2 loss to Rockies

Was Chris Young really perfect through five innings, or was I just imagining things? Young struck out the first four batters of the game and didn’t allow any baserunners until the top of the sixth, when D.J. LeMahieu rolled an infield single up the middle. One would hope that Young would shake off the hit and continue with his dominant outing, but hoping for those type of things...

Enough Already, It’s Time To See The Kids

The best thing about summer is that there is a baseball game on virtually everyday. When life gets you down or you feel that you need an escape, you can just turn on the television and immerse yourself in a ballgame. As a baseball fan I usually can enjoy each game as a single entity and forget about where we are in the standings. Lately instead of being able to enjoy a game I find...

Rockies CF Fowler leaves game with sprained ankle

Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler has left Colorado's game against the New York Mets with a sprained right ankle. Fowler took a huge turn around first base on his fourth-inning single Wednesday night, so right fielder Scott Hairston threw behind him. Fowler took off for second and made it easily when the ball got past Mets first baseman Ike Davis. But as he cruised in standing...

McHugh impressive in debut, but Mets lose 5th straight

NEW YORK -- Collin McHugh couldn't get enough help from his offense, and the New York Mets bullpen didn't get the assistance it needed from its defense. So, for the second straight game, a Mets rookie starter dominated the Colorado Rockies, only to have the Rockies push the winning run across against the bullpen. This time, McHugh made an impressive first impression in...

Rockies 6, Mets 2

Jhoulys Chacin made an impressive return from an extended absence and the Colorado Rockies backed him with a pair of sharp defensive plays, beating the New York Mets 6-2 Tuesday night. Chacin had not pitched in the majors since May 1 because of inflammation in his right shoulder. He came off the disabled list earlier in the day and held the Mets to one run and four hits in six innings...
