  1. "This is ... something" says the Mets radio announcer. Yes, we're all at a loss for words right now.
  2. ...and there goes Brazoban's pristine ERA and just like that he's looking more and more like the Brazoban we got in 2024 and 2025.
  3. The Cookie is crumbling!
  4. Well, we didn't get a Soto Slam but we did get a Juan Jualk.
  5. TYRONE TAYLOR DOESN'T SUCK ANYMORE (for the moment).
  6. To Tyrone's mom: YOUR SON SUCKS.
  7. TYRONE TAYLOR SUCKS TOO.
  8. Astoundingly, the Mets are still winning.
  9. Can't believe the Mets still allow the Kars 4 Kids scam to be advertised or to sponsor them. That organization is so bad California straight up banned them from airing commercials.
  10. Danny Young, Jeremy Hefner. I'm hearing all sorts of former Mets names already.
  11. Vientos is the future of the Mets, we just haven't waited long enough. Remember 2024? He hit 27 home runs in 2024!
  12. He's 2-6 since joining the Mets. Maybe the manager wasn't the problem after all. Maybe this whole time, it's been ... ... someone else.
  13. The Mets have selected Guillo, who is dominating at Triple-A with a 6.23 ERA and 2.077 WHIP.
  14. If you had told me ten years ago that Martin Perez was gonna forge a 15-year career in the majors -- as a regular, even -- I woulda said you're a dang fool. But here we are, and he's still going. He's just three wins away from being one of less than 20 active pitchers with 100+ victories.
  15. Mets release Mike Baumann! Mets sign Cesar Morales!
  16. Lázaro Junco (1958-2026) was one of the greatest power hitters in Cuban baseball history, winning a record 10 Serie Nacional home run titles, setting the Cuban single-season home run record three times, and becoming the first player in the country's history to reach 400 career home runs. Despite his legendary domestic success and 405 career homers, he made only limited appearances for the Cuban national team, where he helped win gold medals in international competition. Harley Oyloe was a left-handed minor league pitcher who played for the Grand Forks Chiefs in 1941, posting a 5-6 record and a 4.04 ERA over 78 innings. A World War II veteran who served in the U.S. Army/Air Force, Oyloe lived to the age of 105 before passing away in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, on June 15, 2026.
  17. Huzzah! He was ripped off last year by not making it. Glad he got in as a starter this year. Each All-Star Game, I like to see which players reach or exceed 5 career All-Star Games. Five is a nice number where one starts to see that that player has 'recognized' greatness, not just statistical greatness or sabermetric greatness. Here are the 2026 All-Stars with 5+ ASGs under their belt now: Mike Trout: 12 Freddie Freeman: 10 Chris Sale: 10 Aroldis Chapman: 9 Bryce Harper: 9 Aaron Judge: 8 Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.: 6 Shohei Ohtani: 6 Juan Soto: 5 Note the lack of pitchers with 5+ ASGs. We're in an era where there aren't too many career-great pitchers. There are season-great pitchers, or three-four year-peak great pitchers, but not a lot of career-great pitchers. With 12 ASGs, Mike Trout joins pretty elite company. He's the first guy with 12+ ASGs since Miguel Cabrera. This is also the first All-Star Game since 2023 that has featured 3+ guys with 10 or more ASGs. The three then were Cabrera, Trout and Albert Pujols.
  18. Sent RHP Dedniel Núñez on a rehab assignment to Binghamton (EL). Syracuse Mets sent RHP Kevin Herget on a rehab assignment to St. Lucie Mets. Brooklyn Cyclones transferred RHP Wyatt Hudepohl from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Syracuse Mets activated LHP Joe Jacques from the 7-day injured list.
  19. I was going to watch last night's game, but I didn't. I'm glad I didn't.
  20. Dedniel Nunez: Nunez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Thursday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports. Nunez is less than a year removed from undergoing Tommy John surgery but has already been cleared for game action. Barring any setbacks, the reliever appears in line for his season debut shortly after the All-Star break. Nunez boasts a 2.82 ERA and 59:14 K:BB over 44.2 innings during his time with the Mets. Injury Elbow. Est. Return 7/24/2026.
  21. Tres Barrera retired.
  22. Kinda, but it's unfair to clump deGrom in with them because he was better than all of them, in terms of raw career numbers and peak. None of them had 13 straight years of peak-quality success, even if it was stunted at points. None of them averaged nearly 11 Ks per frame for their career. Tiant was a compiler who didn't compile enough, Gooden's run of true dominance lasted about 3 years, Etc. etc. I would say the closest comp is Santana, because his case is based almost entirely on peak without bookends, which is kind of what deGrom's dealing with right now. I'd say the best Hall comparison outside of Koufax might be Dazzy Vance, who was also a late-bloomer (a bit later than deGrom) who rattled off a skein of strikeout-heavy seasons in his 30s. But you cannot compare deGrom to anyone, really, because he's that unique a case. 60 WAR isn't the bar, 60 WAR is the lazy bar for people who want to look at one number instead of putting the brainpower into actually analyzing a player's case.
