Matt Harvey Is Not Bitter Toward The Mets At All, No Sir
The lowly Reds are taking on the even lowlier Mets Monday night, for the start of a three-game series. The occasion marks the return of Matt Harvey to New York, for the first time as a member of a visiting club. The Mets, perhaps feeling some regret over the way Harvey’s time as a Met ended, put tog...
Matt Harvey Is Throwing Hard Again
Matt Harvey left the hell hole that is the New York Mets to pitch for what was, quite honestly, a bigger hell hole in Cincinnati. He’s helped make that baseball hell hole in Ohio a more pleasant one, especially relative to the one at Citi Field. A change in scenery doesn’t always result in the retur...
Mets Finally, Fully Break Up With Matt Harvey
Baseball is difficult and contingent and deeply cruel under the best of circumstances, and playing baseball for the New York Mets is not the best of circumstances.

But six in...
The Matt Harvey Situation Is So Damn Sad
To look at Matt Harvey’s year is to see everything that could be and has been wrong with the Mets rotation lately: bad luck and bad health, managed rather poorly, resulting in bad pitching when there is any pitching at all. Individually, each of these factors typically gets reduced to a dumb punchli...
The Mets Will Pitch Matt Harvey On Short Rest, For Reasons Passing Understanding
It’s nothing short of cruel that the Mets have to find a way to finish out these next 26 games. Their season has gone so completely into the toilet; they haven’t won consecutive games since August 10; they’re 24 games back of the Nationals in the NL East and 14 games out of the NL Wild Card; they’ve...
Matt Harvey's Return Was Not Pretty
