Wild Card Fantasy
The 2011 World Champion Cardinals were ten games out of the Wild Card this time last year. The Mets and Phillies are both currently ten games behind in the Wild Card standings. (Ironically, the Cardinals are one of the two teams at the top.) Just for kicks, I’d like to add that on August 30, … Read more
Is Terry Collins To Blame?
As the Mets were cruising into the All-Star break with an improbable winning percentage, I distinctly remember whispers from beat writers, bloggers, and the SNY announcers that Terry Collins was in line for Manager of the Year. After all, the pundits predicted putrid performance from Flushing, with most picking the Mets to finish dead last. … Read more

Just for a minute, pretend that you were sitting at the conference table on Monday and had a … Read more
Daily Mets Poll: Will the Mets Make the Playoffs?
[poll id=”22″] MetsBlog is reporting that oddsmakers believe the Mets have a 37.4% chance of making the postseason. That’s up 2% since last week, which is odd since the Mets have gone 4-5 since then, Mike Pelfrey is struggling and Johan’s velocity is still down. Oh, and the bullpen is a disaster. But the Mets … Read more
