Hit another one yesterday! Three more!

Mets are officially in the Wild Card Standings!

Andy Green has a winning record with the Mets. If he can turn this team into a winning team, then maybe they should really consider making him the full time manager. Brian Snitker took over for Fredi Gonzalez on an interim basis and he became one of the more successful managers in the game (and probably could've managed himself into the Hall if he didn't call it quits).

Are they really gonna blow an eight run lead

I think Devenski might've just lost his spot on the team.

Well, whatever little big of magic Devenski discovered with the Mets last year seems to have been lost this year.

Robert Stock. Why did they settle on Stock of all people to fill the rotation at this point in the season?

My loins burn with joy as The Crotch has tossed three perfect innings to start his professional career, while striking out 4 batters. And he didn't start at some lowly level like rookie ball or Low-A, he started at the mighty Single-A, just a few hops away from the New York Mets' mound, where I'm sure he'll be next year.

Ride the gravy train until it runs out, that's what I say. Maybe he is a future All-Star. Maybe he'll be a Wade Davis or Andrew Miller -- a late-bloomer. We'll see.

I just noticed the Mets are finally out of last place in the division. When did that happen? They only have to go 14-3 the rest of the way to be a .500 team. Crazier things have happened! Their Elimination Number is 6. That's plenty of buffer.

Hit another one yesterday! Four more!

So did Dedniel Nunez in 2024. However, Lavender has been very impressive so far. But ... he's also a reliever.
