99 Games into the 2008 season, your 2008 New York Mets are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies at 53-46 for first place in the NL East. It appears all the pre-season talk about whose the "team to beat" and the return of the "Turnpike Series" rivalry is finally panning out and living up to the hype... READ MORE

After tonights game, as far as I'm concerned the season is over...

There's no way Pelfrey is gonna beat Webb tomorrow, and we'll be lucky if Santana can beat Haren on Thursday...

This whole season has been a joke, every single player except for Wagner has seriously underperformed, Willie has made every mistake possible along the way, and everytime we get teased by winning a few games we always find a way to come back and screw it up... READ MORE

Although hardly mentioned by the incompetent Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on ESPN, Mets ace Johan Santana won his 100th career game on Sunday night against the Dodgers. His career record is now 100-47. According to the Elias Sports Bureau...

Only four other active (or disabled) pitchers had fewer than 50 losses at the time of their 100th career win: Mike Mussina (100-43), Tim Hudson (100-45), Roy Oswalt (100-47) and Pedro Martinez (100-49).

Congrats Johan!

Growing up as a die hard Mets fan as a kid, one of the most lasting memories I have of the Mets and of Shea Stadium during the 90s was a promotion day the Mets used to do every once and a while called the Dyna-Mets Dash. This was the day when the kids would get to go down to the field after the game and run around the bases. This was a great event for kids, and one many children would look forward too. I can remember my dad specifically buying tickets to these games so my brother and I could run the bases after the game. READ MORE

Did you know...

This week (Sunday-Saturday) the Mets scored 34 Runs, which was the 7th most in all of baseball.

In addition, they averaged 4.86 runs per game this week, which was 11th highest in all of baseball.

Yet they went 2-5.READ MORE

Mets Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, who is currently managing the independent Orange County(CA) Flyers, made some controversial comments on the Mike and Murray show on Sirius Satellite Radio today. READ MORE

One of the greatest players in Mets history officially announced his retirement today. Mike Piazza, the face of the franchise from 1998 to 2005 and the player who led the Mets to the World Series in 2000 has called it a career. READ MORE

So by now, you've probably all seen the home run hit by Carlos Delgado which was called a foul ball by the umpires in Sunday Night's Mets-Yankee's game. If you haven't, you can see it here.

This type of play is the kinda thing that makes me think about the rules and unwritten rules of baseball, so I thought I'd go over a few things about this call that were running through my head when I was watching this.

This weekend the Mets took both games from our crosstown rivals the New York Yankees, during a rain shortened series in what may be the most important series of the year thus far. I refuse to call a two game series win a sweep, so we'll just say the Mets won this weekend's series, reclaiming bragging rights for the time being. READ MORE

Before I even get into this non-sense, I want to go back to Monday's 10-4 loss to the last place Washington Nationals. The expectations were high for the Mets to take at least 3 out of 4 from the pathetic Nats. However, the tables were turned, and the Mets dropped 3 of 4 instead and fell to a mere 20-19. Then we saw the New York media once again calling for Willie's job, pointing out that the Mets have been just a .500 ball club since last May, resurrecting the the epic collapse... again. Some serious questions were surrounding this team's troubles.

As it was members of this blog who broke the news to Metsblog regarding the injury to Mets' top prospect Fernando Martinez, it is only appropriate we provide with our injury report. In Wednesday night's game in Binghamton, Martinez strained his right hamstring running to second. Martinez claimed to hear just a little pop and was moving quite gingerly with a significant limp.

So SNY debuted it's new show "Beer Money" tonight (an hour after it was supposed to be on) but none the less, the show wasn't half bad, basically this guy and this girl go around sporting venues and sports bars in the tri-state and ask random fans New York sports trivia questions for cash.

The Mets completed the sweep of the Washington Nationals tonight when Damion Easley scored the game winning run in the bottom of the 14th on a wild pitch by Joel Hanrahan. READ MORE

Well after 3 losses, the Mets finally mustered a win. I'm glad Mike Pelfrey got the W today, even though it was far from ace-like. I'll take a stopper in any way, shape, or form. In all seriousness though, I want Pelf to do well. I want him to seize his opportunities and show some guts. So hats off to him. Pelfrey seems like the obvious XOXO winner, but not today. I would love to give the THM my XOXO's for breaking out of his slump...but many/most of you lack interest in the THM. I also considered giving El Duque's boot a few XOXOs for confirming he really is 172 years old. In the end it came down to one...one Kyle Kendrick.

Ok, so a bunch of people have contacted us about the "Philly Sucks" Counter which you can see in the right hand sidebar. So today we are happy to say you can now add the Philly Sucks counter to your website. Just follow the instructions below... READ MORE
