Posted by Frank Klose Everyone likes stopping in McFaddens before or after a Phillies game for a drink or two, right? Well, to help sell tickets, and presumptously to get through the awful play, the Mets have unleashed a package prepared to booze up Mets fans for live play at Citi Field. Starting at $50, […]
Posted by Frank Klose Coutesy amazinavenue.com Despite relieving themselves of Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, which many Mets fans believed would solve all of their problems, the Mets appear to be be on pace for quite an "embarass-Mets" (not my phrase; the article uses it). Using a new stat calculated by John Dewan of a […]
View image | gettyimages.com Tuesday night's game in New York featured a little bit of everything. Citi Field has a playoff feel to it as Mets ace Matt Harvey took the mound for his first home start since 2013. The Phillies managed to stay in the game for most of the night, another moral […]
The best policy in life is to pick your friends and family instead of those who are more deserving. I'm sure that all of us have not gotten a job we were better qualifed for so that someone could hire their relative. Heck, "The Office" made an entire episode about how ridiculous that is. But […]
This is good news/bad news. Generally, I am not a fan of what the home run derby can do to someone's swing, as we witnessed in Bobby Abreu's Home Run Derby championship. Abreu won the 2005 derby hitting an unprecedented 24 home runs in the first round. Abreu had 18 home runs […]
Cole Hamels continued his red-hot season tonight at Citi Field, recording double-digit strikeouts in an outstanding effort which he would later receive the no-decision for. The offense showed up a little late tonight, long after Mets' starter Matt Harvey left the ballgame. Jimmy Rollins started off this ballgame against Matt Harvey doing what he does […]
The bone chip in Vance's elbow is not affecting his pitching, according to Vance. But, his performance has been on a downhill spiral for the entire month of August. In his previous four starts, Vance went 0-3 allowing at least six hits in all of those starts. It didn't get much better tonight. In the […]
A rubbermatch between Cole Hamels and R.A. Dickey sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Hamels and Dickey went head to head tonight in the first game of the season started by double-digit winners. Dickey has an excellent 2012 season so far up his sleeves with two one-hitters, and a miniscule ERA to match his 12-1 record. […]
The struggles continued tonight for Phillies starting pitching and the team in general. It's getting more and more frustrating to say the least, and it hasn't been a fun ride over the past week with the Phillies losing more and more games. I know I typically write out a game story, but this would have […]
Joe Blanton took the hill at Citi Field tonight against Jeremy Hefner, who was making his second major league start. After two straight rough outings from Joe, it wouldn't get easier in another frustrating game. The Phillies jumped out in front scoring a run in the first on a wild pitch. The Mets came back […]
