Recap:
Adam LaRoche hit a two-run home run and R.A. Dickey lost a game for the first time in over three months as the Washington Nationals took a 5-2 win over the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Dickey (13-2) came into the game having not lost since April 18 at Atlanta, but he gave up five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits over six innings to drop just his second game of the season. He went 11-0 in his 17 games prior to Tuesday.
"There were a lot of things I did right tonight that I've got to be able to take, discard what went wrong and build on what went right," Dickey said. "I'm going to try to do that."
Ryan Zimmerman went 3-for-5 with a run scored while Danny Espinosa and Jesus Flores each drove in a run for the ...

Mets News and Notes:
Mike Baxter's rehab tour, now in Day 9, is moving to Triple-A Buffalo. That suggests Baxter may be ready to be activated from the disabled list this weekend, when the Mets visit Arizona.
Baxter suffered a displaced right collarbone and fractured rib cartilage on the catch that preserved Johan Santana's no-hit bid on June 1.
He had solely...

The big news today in Metsland is that Sandy Alderson turned down a trade offer from the Padres where the club would have sent Daniel Murphy west in return for Luke Gregerson. On July 1st this might have been an interesting trade proposal. On July 26th, if Sandy had pulled the trigger it would have been the classic case of locking the barn door after all of the horses escaped...

I don’t think I need to remind anyone here about the tumultuous state that the Mets currently find themselves in. Clearly, I don’t have to tell you they have dropped 12 out of their last 13 games.
Obviously, Mets’ fans are at the end of their rope and almost all have thrown in the towel and bemoaning how a great story fizzled with such a devastating crash and burn.
Oh, but...

Embrace the horror my friends. Nothing we do now will change anything.

You snooze, you lose. Sandman fell asleep at the...

I know what your thinking..The Mets are well on their way to making the 2012 season nothing more than an afterthought. The fact is your probably right, and that’s exactly what needs to happen if the organization is to find its way back to the promise land sooner than later. With the semi-successful first half, many Mets fans (myself included) allowed themselves to buy into...

Tensions rise in the New York Mets dugout during today’s game.
Well it seems as the if New York Mets are finally showing some fight during this stretch of games that has seen this team lose 11 of its 12 games out of the all-star break. However, the New York Mets are not taking that fight out on their opponets. What we saw today during their Wednesday afternoon game against the Washington Nationals was the polar opposite as we saw the New York...

I need a smile.
Seemingly all of the goodwill built up by the Mets’ strong play at the beginning of the year has melted away after the All-Star break. I watch games now expecting bad things to happen and that’s not how I wish to be a fan.
Need something, anything, to break this cycle to get back to being an optimist in order to enjoy the rest of the baseball season. And I think...

That Barry Bonds cycling post last night brought up old memories for BC Twitter followers. See, Bonds is now looking like he did in 1991, which brought up Bobby Bonilla’s name from the crypt. That led to: “Is Bonilla still getting paid by the Mets?” Um, yes, and Bobby received check #2 this year of his 25-year run of $1,193,248.20 checks from the team for deferring his salary...
