Matt Harvey

David Wright made the unbelievable mistake of believing Mets brass and Sandy Alderson that this ship in Queens would turn around and head down the right waters.  And so, Wright agreed to stay for 14 years and $192 million.  Great contract.  Great money.  He stays as the face of the franchise.  Wright still lives in the greatest city of them all.  But one of the best players in the game won't be se

Timely hitting. Solid relief pitching. if the piece ended right there you might be thinking I was talking about the surprising Yankees. But shocking I am not. This would sum up the Mets Monday night as they beat the Yankees in game 1 of the 4 game subway series at Citifield 2-1...

The Subway Series is here again.  This of course is more for the fans and the media, but there are some terrific New York baseball storylines to this one.  First thing is first.  The Yanks come fresh off an impressive series win in Tampa Bay, where they seem to never win games. The Mets continue to be a disaster, losing a series to Atlanta and getting no consistent hitting or depth in the starting

Pitchers in their prime or when they first come up gather crowds to stadiums and increase ratings on television sets like no tomorrow.  Think Dwight Gooden, Felix Hernandez, Fernando Valenzuela, Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Justin Verlander, Stephen Strasburg.  Add Matt Harvey to the list.

Shea Stadium used to buzz like crazy, as did the city of New York, when a youngster named Doc Gooden took the hill throwing fire and wearing #16.  Pedro Martinez used to light up the Bronx the same way in those epic Yankees-Red Sox games when the masses wondered who his Daddy was...

Yes it's only 7 games but for us Met fans we get excited early and wait for doom later. I have little doubt the doom is coming, but after 7 games things look good, especially beating Roy "Doc" Halladay Monday in Philadelphia. I give you John Buck...

As we countdown to Game One of the World Series tonight, I can’t help but notice how much the San Francisco Giants remind me of another NL team: The New York Mets. For anyone still reading, I’m serious, just follow me for a minute. When you look at the Detroit Tigers you see a powerhouse of stars; the best pitcher in the game, a triple crown winner and a larger than life “Prince” of a clean-up hit

There isn’t too much to root for as a Mets fan now-a-days, but these next two games against the Nationals are certainly worth a tune in if you’re a Mets fan.

  For the many of you, who have waited with baited breath for the next New York Mets Hope O’ Meter update, I apologize for the extended delay. The reason that I haven’t penned another piece is simply because the Mets have no more hope. But today- today is different. Today is one of the few days where the meter spikes from 0.00 to a strong and boisterous 9.67. Today Matt Harvey makes his seventh st

Tonight is the night that Mets fans have long been waiting for: the debut of top pitching prospect Matt Harvey. Harvey was the Mets first pick (7th overall) in the 2010, out of the University of North Carolina.
