KRod Shows Aramis the Family Room. Post-Game: Mets 3, Brewers 1

11022724-large

Terry Collins was right…twice.  First, he stood up for Miguel Batista, saying he was going to get many more chances to prove himself as a starting pitcher.  Well, tonight he did more than prove himself, throwing 7 scoreless innings of 4-hit ball.  He stymied the Brewers tonight, with Tim Byrdak and Bobby Parnell taking care …

The Mets lose a nail-biting heartbreaker to the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a 4-game series at CitiField.  I feel like Rosie O’Donnell in “A League of Their Own” when she said: “right up until that last inning we HAD IT”.  You could literally feel the wind come out of the Mets and …

Maybe the Mets won’t be so terrible?

Lucas Duda, David Wright and Ike Davis will (hopefully) provide the power for the Mets lineup in 2012

In an offseason to forget, the New York Mets slashed payroll, begged people to come to Citi Field, lost Gary Carter to cancer, lost their best player to a division rival in free agency and settled a massive lawsuit.  Other than that, the Mets 2012 offseason was pretty boring. So the only thing left for …
