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 1-1, and then of…

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.

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:

Page Six: Matt Harvey Missed Game Because He Was Sad About Adriana Lima Going Out With Julian Edelman

Here’s a dumb, fun rumor from the New York Post’s Page Six: Moping Mets star pitcher Matt Harvey was out partying until 4 a.m. last Friday before he failed to show up for Saturday’s game because he was distraught after seeing photos of Adriana Lima out on the town with Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.

The best story in baseball keeps getting better.

This Matt Harvey Thing Is Only Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Better

Matt Harvey’s non-dildo-related suspension is just the latest beef that the Mets have tried and failed to keep inside the clubhouse, instead looking on in horror as the beef spills over into the stadium corridors and onto the field and everywhere, just nothing but beef, rancid, scabrous beef smeared across the…

Matt Harvey And The Mets Are The Messiest Couple In Baseball

The Mets kicked off their Sunday afternoon by announcing that Matt Harvey would not make his scheduled start against the Marlins, and would be suspended for three days. Then they had to explain that the suspension had nothing to do with a big ol’ dildo.

Noah Syndergaard Won't Be Throwing At All For At Least Six Weeks

Nothing has looked good for Noah Syndergaard since he abruptly exited in the first inning of his last start—the news that he’d refused an MRI before the game because he “felt fine,” the news that the Mets had let him do that, and the news that he was suffering from a partial tear of his lat muscle with no timetable…

Mets' Twitter Celebrates Dong

Noah Syndergaard Is Going To Be Out For A Bit

Mets ace Noah Syndergaard was pulled from his start yesterday in the second inning with what was described as an injury to his lat muscle. This happened after Syndergaard had already had his start pushed back due to biceps tendonitis. Today, the Mets have revealed that the big hurler suffered a partial tear of his…

It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Mets

The Mets’ season has mostly been an exercise in maximizing use of the new 10-day disabled list, which has been the biggest contributing factor in the fact that they’ve lost an awful lot this year. (They haven’t been so far below .500 since 2014.) The bad seemingly got worse today, with Noah Syndergaard pulled midway…

The Mets Had Yet Another Rotten Day

Remember the Mets? You know, the team that made a surprise run to the 2015 World Series thanks to Yoenis Cespedes’s strong hitting, then made the play-in game last year, all the while flashing one of the deepest and most dominant young rotations baseball had seen in years? Things aren’t going well for them.

The Mets Are All Messed Up

The Mets are all broken, and they’re exhibiting an impressive range of maladies all at one time. Manager Terry Collins ran through the list of injuries currently afflicting his team today, and it took him quite a while:

Mets Finally Outlast Marlins In 16 Innings

If you are a fan of the sort of muddled, elastic extra-innings baseball that seems to melt into an unmotivated slush of exhausted bullpen and bench options—this was an excellent game for you!

The Mets Have A Jose Reyes–Sized Hole In Their Lineup

Mets converted third baseman Jose Reyes is absolutely lost at the plate so far this season, and Terry Collins seems like he’s ready to pull out his hair over the slumping veteran. The Mets are only nine games into the season, and small sample sizes can render early season trends meaningless by September, but Reyes is…

Yoenis Cespedes Laid A Historic Whooping On The Phillies

Golf enthusiast Yoenis Cespedes has the great fortune of playing against Phillies pitching this week and he made the most of it tonight. Clay Buchholz started for Philly this evening and his troubles began immediately, as Cespedes crushed a bambinazo to bring in three runs before the Phillies had even recorded a…

The Phillies And Mets Stewed Some Very Mild Beef

If the 2017 baseball season is a slow-cooked pot roast, not enough time has passed for the beef to be tender and juicy. What I’m trying to say is, the Mets and Phillies almost brawled last night.

Noah Syndergaard Jacks Philly Phanatic's ATV For Pregame Joyride

Feel that warm breeze my friends, summer’s almost here. Time to hope on those ATVs.

Matt Harvey Looked Pretty Good Last Night

Last season was the worst of Matt Harvey’s career. It started with him getting clowned on for not peeing enough, transitioned to him getting booed off the mound by the home fans, and ended with him being shutdown with thoracic outlet syndrome. During all of this, he mostly looked and carried himself like a mopey…

Jay Bruce: Anal Power

The Mets lost to Atlanta last night in extras, but not before Jay Bruce leveraged anal power to launch a big dinger off Bartolo Colón. Your music is the appropriately titled “Anal Power” by Czech death metal group Törr, from their 1992 album Chcípni O Kus Dál.

Mets Fan Mad
