Projecting the Mets’ 2013 Opening Day 25-Man Roster

Coming into this past weekend’s much-anticipated Subway Series match-up with the hated Yankees, the Mets were six games above .500 and near the top of the NL East, hanging around the leading Washington Nationals.

From All Corners of the NL- 6/11/12
After yesterday’s excruciating Mets loss against that gross team from the Bronx (which loss isn’t), you might want something to take your mind off the fact that the Mets bullpen is simply horrendous and that Jason Bay and Ike Davis are near-automatic outs. Here are some links from around the NL to do that: Crashburn [...]
The Mets Might Not Be Good This Season, But They Won’t Be As Bad As Everyone Thinks
It is no secret right now in New York sports that the Mets are a second-class citizen when compared to the Yankees.

All About Matt Harvey
The Mets promoted heralded prospect Matt Harvey to Binghamton a few days ago, though his first AA start was inauspicious.
