Mets look to Capuano to be a stopper against the Cardinals

After falling twice to the St. Louis Cardinals (86-69) in the seventh inning, the New York Mets  proved they still have a long road to travel before becoming legitimate contenders in the National League.  The Metropolitans (73-82) will send out starter Chris Capuano (11-12, 4.47 ERA) to act as a stopper in the finale in afternoon baseball action on Thursday. Thus far in […]

Unlucky seventh leads to 11-6 Mets loss to Cardinals

It was an unlucky seventh inning that led the New York Mets (73-81) to the 11-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals (85-69) on Tuesday night baseball. The Metropolitans had two leads in the game, before three relief pitchers allowed for a Cardinal comeback. The Mets took their first lead of the game, jumping all over St. Louis starter Edwin Jackson in the top of […]

Not so ‘Chipper’ loss for Mets

Larry ‘Chipper’ Jones has been known as a ‘Mets-killer’-so much so that he even named one of his sons ‘Shea’ thanks to his previous conquest in the old Stadium. There was no surprise that Jones worked his magic again, with a RBI single to lead the Atlanta Braves (record) to a 1-0 victory over New York. Atlanta started the […]

Mets start to ‘Wright’ the ship with 12-2 victory over Atlanta

Maybe Terry Collins post game interview on Thursday fired his team up? Maybe the Mets are more relaxed on the road? Or maybe this is just a reward for a team, who has had such a long-rough stretch at Citi Field. Either way David Wright hit two bombs to lead the New York Mets (72-79) to a 12-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves (86-65) […]

Sith Seventh leads to Mets 3-2 loss to the Nationals

On Star Wars/Stand Up to Cancer night at Citi Field, not even the Imperial Forces could inspire the New York Mets (71-77) to victory, as the Metropolitans fell by a final of 3-2 to the Washington Nationals (69-77) on Tuesday night baseball action. In what started out to be a real pitchers/lightsaber duel between Dillon Gee and Chien-Ming Wang, as both starters match […]

Mets edged by Nationals: 3-2

The New York Mets (71-76) were edged by the Washington Nationals (68-77) by a final score of 3-2 on Monday night baseball action. Starter R.A. Dickey (L, 8-12) went back to his tough-luck ways, as the Mets offense left five runners on base tonight. R.A. tossed seven innings, giving up eight hits-while also striking out seven batters. The knuckle ball specialist gave up […]

Mets ‘Turner’inate Cubs in 5-4 comeback victory

Justin Turner has thrived for the New York Mets (71-73) in clutch situations; Friday night’s 5-4 walk-off victory over the Chicago Cubs (62-82) was probably one of the sweetest for the second baseman. Turner, who laced two doubles in the game, got the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Mets to their fifth walk-off this season. For […]
