Mets Broadcasters Break Down On Air While Remembering José Fernández
The Marlins are playing their first game since José Fernández died in a boating crash over the weekend, and it’s been an incredibly emotional affair. The whole team is wearing Fernández’s number 16 jersey and both teams paid tribute to him before the game. Dee Gordon’s leadoff dinger provided an inc...
The Mets' Pitching Staff Is Dying
Noah Syndergaard was scheduled to start for the Mets tonight, until suddenly he wasn’t, due to strep throat. Innocent as the news of ordinary illness might seem, given that he’s been pitching with a bone spur in his elbow since June and the fact that this comes on the heels of other Mets’ pitcher in...
Asdrubal Cabrera Flips The Everloving Shit Out Of His Bat After Huge Walk-Off Dinger
After getting their walk-off snatched out of the sky last night, the Mets made damn sure this one was headed out of the ballpark. Asdrubal Cabrera did the knocking, and he followed it up with an explosive, two-hand heave of a bat flip....
Ender Inciarte Robs Yoenis Cespedes' Would-Be Walk-Off, Ends Game

Bartolo Colon Gets Hits, Gives Massages Now
Bartolo Colon nearly doubled his season hit total last night. When you consider that such a feat only required going from three hits to five, this is not as impressive as it sounds. When you consider that it involved Bartolo Colon getting not just one hit, but two, it might actually be more impressi...
Darryl Strawberry Says Doc Gooden Is A "Complete Junkie-Addict"
On Thursday, Doc Gooden missed a scheduled appearance alongside Darryl Strawberry and other former Mets at a WFAN event.

Terry Collins Had A Good Manager Rant
Yesterday, the Mets got smoked 9-0 by the Arizona Diamondbacks, a bad baseball team that somehow managed a three-game sweep against New York. Mets manager Terry Collins was not happy with his team’s effort level during the series, and expressed his displeasure in a postgame rant....
Mets Tell Injured Yoenis Cespedes To Cool It With The Golfing
Yoenis Cespedes really loves golf. Loves it. Plays on game days if he can. Has probably played 10 rounds in the last couple of weeks, according to one Mets official....
John McEnroe Brought The Heat
The best first pitch of 2016 does not belong to a 92-year-old World War II veteran, Snoop Dogg, or, uh, whoever these people are. No, the honor goes to John McEnroe, who smoked this fastball in to open this evening’s Mets-Yankees game....
Yoenis Cespedes Drops Routine Catch In Order To Make Spectacular Catch
Baseball can be boring, so I appreciate Yoenis Cespedes going out of his way to make this would-be routine catch into something much more videogenic....
Jason Heyward Nails Runner At Home With A Gorgeous Throw
Jason Heyward’s work at the plate this season has not been anything Cubs fans can get too excited about, but he has maintained his sparkling reputation as a defensive outfielder.

Darryl Strawberry Says He Used To Bone During Games
Last night, ESPN aired Doc & Darryl, a 30 for 30 documentary about former Mets stars Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry. While promoting the documentary, Strawberry went on Sirius/XM radio to talk about the crazy times he lived through....
