Mets Apologize After Mr. Met Gets Caught Flipping The Bird At A Fan
The Mets lost to the Brewers tonight by six runs. Aside from Eric Thames’s big dinger, what happened on the field was not particularly notable (the Mets lose all the time). However, right next to the field, Mr. Met provided the highlight of the night when he flipped off a fan who was videotaping the...
The Mets Bullpen Is A Confusing Wasteland
As the Mets rotation has increasingly become a desperate bunch of relatively interchangeable substitute scraps, their bullpen hasn’t fared any better.

Hansel Robles Provides A Lesson In Optimism
On his 15th pitch in Monday’s game, Mets reliever Hansel Robles delivered a high fastball to Diamondbacks outfielder Yasmany Tomás. The result of the play will be addressed in a moment, but please note this:...
It's A Shame The Mets Are So Bad, Because Zack Wheeler Looks Pretty Good
In six innings last night, Mets starter Zack Wheeler gave up one run and struck out six. That isn’t saying much in the context of a normal season, but it was a welcome sight for a Mets team that has gotten very little from its starting rotation this season. Wheeler left the game with the score tied...
Matt Harvey's Return Was Not Pretty
It’s been a week since Matt Harvey failed to show up for a game, triggering a three-day suspension and a whirlwind of rumors.

The Giants Finally Broke A Very Sad Streak
The Giants narrowly avoided a sweep by the Mets yesterday afternoon, which would have been the second consecutive series sweep for them.

Page Six: Matt Harvey Missed Game Because He Was Sad About Adriana Lima Going Out With Julian Edelman
Here’s a dumb, fun rumor from the New York Post’s Page Six: Moping Mets star pitcher Matt Harvey was out partying until 4 a.m. last Friday before he failed to show up for Saturday’s game because he was distraught after seeing photos of Adriana Lima out on the town with Patriots wide receiver Julian ...

Matt Harvey Reportedly Out Partying Until 4:00 A.M. Night Before No-Show
The best story in baseball keeps getting better.

This Matt Harvey Thing Is Only Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Better
Matt Harvey’s non-dildo-related suspension is just the latest beef that the Mets have tried and failed to keep inside the clubhouse, instead looking on in horror as the beef spills over into the stadium corridors and onto the field and everywhere, just nothing but beef, rancid, scabrous beef smeared...

Noah Syndergaard Won't Be Throwing At All For At Least Six Weeks
Nothing has looked good for Noah Syndergaard since he abruptly exited in the first inning of his last start—the news that he’d refused an MRI before the game because he “felt fine,” the news that the Mets had let him do that, and the news that he was suffering from a partial tear of his lat muscle w...
Noah Syndergaard Is Going To Be Out For A Bit
Mets ace Noah Syndergaard was pulled from his start yesterday in the second inning with what was described as an injury to his lat muscle. This happened after Syndergaard had already had his start pushed back due to biceps tendonitis. Today, the Mets have revealed that the big hurler suffered a part...
Anthony Rendon Had Himself A Day
This was a truly glorious day for the Nationals, updates on Adam Eaton’s injury notwithstanding. They romped to a 23-5 victory over the Mets, setting a franchise scoring record and providing a platform for Anthony Rendon to stage an all-time great offensive performance....
It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Mets
The Mets’ season has mostly been an exercise in maximizing use of the new 10-day disabled list, which has been the biggest contributing factor in the fact that they’ve lost an awful lot this year. (They haven’t been so far below .500 since 2014.) The bad seemingly got worse today, with Noah Synderga...
The Mets Had Yet Another Rotten Day
Remember the Mets? You know, the team that made a surprise run to the 2015 World Series thanks to Yoenis Cespedes’s strong hitting, then made the play-in game last year, all the while flashing one of the deepest and most dominant young rotations baseball had seen in years? Things aren’t going well f...
