The 2013 Mets Are Suffering From A Lack Of Accountability
Matt Harvey has it. So does David Wright. Ike Davis tried to show it Wednesday, but only had warning track power.
It is accountability, which is the backbone to admit screwing up.
We certainly didn’t see any the past few days from the Knicks, so let’s turn to the Mets. After losing Thursday to the Reds, Harvey was front-and-center about his performance and threw high-heat at...
3 Up & 3 Down: The Bar Is Now Open Edition
Last week I read an article here on MMO, and at the end of the article Joe D. added his comments. Joe was explaining that MMO is not a site that is going to sugarcoat things. We’re going to give it to straight. We’re passionate about the Mets, but we’re not going to insult your intelligence. Joe’s last sentence was “we serve hard liquor here”.
Those five words have inspired...
Where’s The Accountability With The Mets?

Mets’ Offense Flat Again In 4-0 Loss To Reds
The Cincinnati Reds (25-18) shutout the New York Mets (17-25) by the score of 4-0 tonight at a sparsely crowded Citi Field.

Mets Must Develop Consistency In Batting Order
Constructing a major league batting order is a tricky enough task for a manager in the best of times, let alone with the limited and non-productive options in front of Terry Collins.
It was good to see Daniel Murphy back at leadoff Monday against Cincinnati, but somewhat surprised at first to see Rick Ankiel at second. Then again, Murphy won’t be doing a lot of stealing, so there’s...

Something positive: David Wright
The Mets’ 2013 season is going down in flames faster than even the most pessimistic fan could have predicted. Sure, the team was not expected to be playoff bound and eventually slot into fourth or fifth place in the National League East, but the fall has been fast and unrelenting. This writer, for one, expected a semi-competitive first half with the annual Mets Second Half Collapse...

The Pitching Duel Fail and Thursday’s Box Scores
There was speculation that the Justin Verlander versus Yu Darvish pitching duel could be a thing of legend. However, Verlander never made it to the fourth inning, giving up seven earned runs in the third. Stephen Strasburg reminded us of his dominance as he pitched eight strong innings for the Nationals.

Bobby Parnell continues breakout campaign
The New York Mets managed to avoid being swept by the St. Louis Cardinals today thanks in no small part to a strong outing from Jonathon Niese and some much needed offense from Daniel Murphy and David Wright. On the back end of things, where the Mets have rarely found themselves having to secure a lead, stood Bobby Parnell. Parnell’s last save came over two weeks ago when he...
Murphy Rips Four Hits, Niese Solid, Mets End Skid With 5-2 Win Over Cards
Daniel Murphy had four hits and Jon Niese pitched a gem as the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 to salvage the final game of the series and avoid the four-game sweep.
The Mets got on the board in the third when Jordany Valdespin ignited a two-run rally with a perfect drag bunt in the third and then scored when the red-hot Murphy lined double to score Spin and then came...
