Nationals 2 Mets 1 The Mets lose their 90th game of the season, to a team who has already hurdled triple digits in losses. In addition, rookie stringbean Ross Detwiler earned his first MLB win — in his lucky 13th start. The 6’5″, 180-lb. Detwiler scattered seven hits in six innings and disappeared at one … Read more
Braves 3 Mets 1 The Mets were down by only a run for most of this game — in fact they were winning for a few minutes — but there was never a point where I felt, “hey, they have a chance to win”. I simply sat in front of the TV and waited for … Read more
Braves 7 Mets 3 You can’t pin this one on Danny Boy. Daniel Murphy went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and his 10th homerun of the season, but it wasn’t enough to carry the team to victory.

A major consideration … Read more
Mets 4 Cubs 1 The Mets continue to impress by salvaging at least one win per series. If they can continue to win at least one out of every three, they are almost guaranteed to stay ahead of the cellar-dwelling Nationals. Keep fighting, men! Though the season is over for most of the Mets fan … Read more
Marlins 2 Mess 1 After a whirlwind of news, moves, and another appearance by Mushmouth, the Mets game against the Marlins was something of a denouement. What the Mets needed was a deus ex machina. (Why all the literary references? Why not? If the Mets can’t provide any entertainment, at least we can provide some … Read more
