Mets Fan Nearly Drops Baby For Foul Ball, And Mom Is <i>Pissed</i>
In the eighth inning of last night’s 6-3 Dodgers win, one Mets fan decided he could make a one-handed play on a foul ball with a baby already in the other arm. He did, I suppose, though I’m not sure the baby’s mother would agree with his decision-making....
The Mets Are Pissed At Yasiel Puig For Admiring His Homer
Yasiel Puig recently said having to adjust to MLB’s rules of decorum means having less fun. “They’ve wanted to change so many things about me that I feel so off,” he told ESPN. “I don’t feel like the player I was in 2013.” Puig tried to enjoy himself last night, taking his time with a home run in th...
One Day After Promising "No Reason To" Suspect Injury, Mets Place Zack Wheeler On DL
After Zack Wheeler got his tits lit on Monday night, giving up seven runs in two innings, he promised that he felt fine—it was just an issue with poor command, he said. New York Mets officials backed him up, with manager Terry Collins saying that there wasn’t any reason to think it was a sign of inj...
Clayton Kershaw Gives Up Four Home Runs For First Time In Career, Looks Suddenly And Distressingly Mortal
Clayton Kershaw began the night against the Mets looking more or less like Clayton Kershaw, which is to say that he began the night looking as if he’d be very hard to hit. But that soon unraveled—seemingly slowly, at first, and then very quickly—and suddenly it was the seventh inning and baseball’s ...
Keith Hernandez Thinks He's Off The Air, Says Tanner Roark's "Getting His Tits Lit"
SNY analyst Keith Hernandez was caught in an unfortunate spot tonight when the broadcast came back from commercial early and caught him unawares—right as he was discussing how Washington Nationals starter Tanner Roark has been “getting his tits lit” lately....

Ian Happ Did Something Only Four Other Players In History Have Done
Cubs rookie Ian Happ went 1-for-5 last night with a walk, a grand slam, and four strikeouts during the Cubs’ 14-3 beatdown over the Mets. That makes him, per Baseball Reference, one of only five players in baseball history to hit a grand slam and earn a Golden Sombrero in a single game....

The New York Post has shed some more light on the Mr. Met bird-flipping controversy, quoting a fan who says Mr. Met’s rude finger was flipped in response to persistent heckling....
Mets Manager Terry Collins Ejected After Umps Reverse Ball Boy Interference
Today, the Mets found themselves in minor drama that had nothing to do with a rebellious mascot. The umpiring crew initially ruled that the Milwaukee Brewers’ ball boy had interfered with Wilmer Flores’s attempt to catch a fly ball, but after the officials convened to discuss, they reversed the call...
Report: Bird-Flipping Mr. Met No Longer Allowed To Be Mr. Met
Last night, Mr. Met gave us the highlight of the New York Mets’ season when he gave the finger to a fan. It was fun and good, mostly because the visual of a grinning Mr. Met giving some jamoke the finger is a pleasing visual, and also because it was no doubt deserved. Unfortunately, the Mets were no...
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. Over the past month, the team’s relief corps has been the worst in baseball—below replacement level as a unit, actively costing wins rather than doin...
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. There’s been plenty of talk in that time on what Harvey was really doing the night before his no-show, whether it’s a sign of a more serious problem, and how competently the ...
Report: Tim Tebow Could Be Moving Up In The World
On the same day the New York Post runs a cover asking “Why does God hate the Mets?”, they have this extremely related story claiming that Tim Tebow could be in for a promotion....
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. A win is a win (and this one doesn’t change the Giants’ standing as the worst team in baseball by record), but the victory was notable for one astonishing fact: ...
