As a Disgruntled Mets Fan reader pointed out, there are only 27 innings left... I will sincerely be doing rain dances at the end of the fifth inning of every game against the Astros this weekend. Maybe we can turn that 27 innings into 15... After a well-pitched game from Tim Redding last night, recently maligned closer Francisco Rodriguez put in a stinker of an effort in the ninth inning, throwing 40 ...

An ugly season can be made considerably uglier with six games remaining for the New York Mets. Ninety wins is an accomplishment any organization can be proud of. Ninety losses is an accomplishment in failure usually reserved for small market teams with payrolls that can't be expected to compete. The Mets have broken new ground.á They've even been called the worst organization in Major League Baseball here. It's hard to disagree with them ...

That's right Mets fans.á The Mets won a game.á They moved the Florida Marlins, the team that has dashed the Mets playoff hopes on the last day of the season for the last two years, one step closer to post season elimination by scoring two runs in the top of the ninth inning off Marlins closer Leo Nunez to come from behind for the victory. Daniel Murphy and Jeff Francoeur got the ...

For New York Mets pitcher Nelson Figueroa, the season can’t end fast enough. In his last start in August, Figueroa had one of the best outings of his career when he threw eight innings of one run ball while striking out ten.  Speculations were made about Figueroa’s spot in the rotation next season, as he seemed to be passing with flying colors in his 2010 audition. September has been an unkind month ...

After an 11-3 drubbing, where the Atlanta Braves did all their damage in the first three innings, the Mets have something to play for for the rest of the 2009 season... Their pride. Sure, they're not going to win any titles.  Sure, they're the most expensive fourth-place team in the history of the game.  But that doesn't mean they should lose embarrassingly like the way the did last night. Thanks to some solid work ...

Jeff Francoeur has been playing hurt, but you’d never know it looking at him. He’s got a torn ligament in his hand, that will require off season surgery. Most players would probably end the season early in Francoeur’s situation, getting a head start on recovery time for next season. But not the gutsy right fielder. Instead, he’s on a tear. Francoeur is hitting .324 since August and .314 since coming over to ...

Atlanta Braves' rookie pitcher Tommy Hanson single-handedly beat the New York Mets last night. In addition to seven scoreless innings of three hit baseball, where he struck out eight batters, Hanson dropped down three sacrifice bunts leading to three RBI for lead-off man Nate McLouth. His curve ball was enigmatic to the Mets' lineup. He was working both sides of the plate with all his pitches, keeping the batters off balance ...

Yesterday, the Mets were down one run going into the ninth inning.  They were even down to their final out of the game.  All signs pointed to another loss to the Phillies.  Their fifth loss in a row. Then David Wright came up to bat with a man on, and delivered what could be one of the best wins of the season, belting a two-run, go-ahead home run into the left ...

Angel Pagan’s production has far exceeded expectations this season.  He’s batting .313 in 67 starts with 6 home runs and 28 RBI mostly hitting out of the lead off spot.  He’s played mostly solid defense in center field while filling in for one of the best center fielders in the game in Carlos Beltran.  He’s been one of the few bright spots on the team this season. However there is one ...
