Your 2026 New York Mets: There is no more darkness. “Despite all of our efforts, Mendy’s included, we haven’t been able to get this going this year and I take responsibility for that. These are very difficult decisions. I have a ton of respect for him. At the same time, this is my job and […]
Mets celebrate America’s 250th with four-game series in Atlanta
The New York Mets (36-51) return from a brief stint in Canada to face their division rivals, the Atlanta Braves (50-35). The Mets, if you can believe it, actually took two out of three from the first place Braves at Citi Field in June. You can probably believe this, but it’s the last time the […]

Mets Morning News: O Canada, Mets blown out in Toronto

Mets gift Blue Jays a blowout win on Canada Day
On Canada Day, the Mets dropped the rubber game of their series with the Blue Jays, 9-3. The Mets have now lost ten of their last twelve, and are 2-4 in the Andy Green era. Certainly, the Mets hoped that Freddy Peralta’s most recent start was the beginning of a turnaround for the veteran free […]

A reminiscence of David Peterson’s Mets tenure
It finally happened. The Mets selling before the trade deadline was a worst case scenario going into the season, with a roster full of promise and hope for a return to the postseason. Once they lost 12 in a row, it became a more defined hypothetical, that if the Mets were unable to turn the […]

Thank goodness for Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing
For all of the things that have gone wrong for the Mets season—and if we want to talk about anything else, let’s just leave it at that, lest we spend 1000 words outlining the various failures—the promotion and performance of both Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing has been a bright spot. And in a season […]
Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, June 15-28

Freddy Peralta had a […]

Where does Carlos Mendoza rank in Mets managerial history?
Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns. With the team coming off an embarrassing series against the Chicago Cubs and officially falling into the depths of the wild […]
