wilmer flores

We've all had some bad luck from time to time but Mets' Wilmer Flores taking a foul ball to the face may be the worst luck of all. I've been watching baseball for about 40 years and I have never seen anyone foul a ball off their own face before.

File this in the "Brady Farkas just doesn't understand" category... After losing out on Ben Zobrist, the Mets made a good move in trading for Neil Walker on Wednesday afternoon. They then closed Wednesday by signing shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera...

The New York Mets are on a historic tear and ESPN's Buster Olney gave his view of the one moment we can all point to.

Wow. This story is complicated and hard to follow, but we'll explain it in full. First, lets get the main piece of video out there: OK. Very emotional moment for Mets shortstop Wilmer Flores at Citi Field. He was crying because he found out that he was being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Wilmer Flores hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, Bartolo Colon threw seven-plus sharp innings and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2 Monday night in a makeup from an April rainout. After playing 39 innings in the three previous games, the teams finally didn't go extras...

Really! No tricks with this headline. It was almost amazing, really, and speaks to today's baseball. The National League's starting pitcher in the All-Star Game, and the biggest piece of the Mets turnaround hadn't thrown a complete game, until Wednesday night when he pitched the Mets to a 5-0 shutout of the Colorado Rockies...

This New York Mets season has been like many others.  Dreadful, lost for cause and filled with hope in the beginning and eventual failure.  Not even a host All-Star Game, filled with Mariano Rivera celebration and David Wright and Matt Harvey standing ovations could save the day for those walking off the 7 train and into the ballpark.
