Squawker Lisa, your Yankees claimed that people wouldn’t care about momentous home runs from 40-something players who had been busted for PEDs. Then Bartolo Colon knocked Yankees-Red Sox and the Kentucky Derby off the back page with one of the most surprising home runs in baseball history. With his two-run homer in last night’s 6-3 […]

In 1964, when a Met fan was told the team scored 19 runs, he responded, “Did they win?” In 2016, if someone tells you the Mets scored 12 runs, you can now ask, “in an inning?” Not only did the Mets put up 12 runs in the third inning of yesterday’s 13-1 win over the […]

I really should have gotten over the 1971 Nolan Ryan trade by now, but I still can’t help cringing when the Mets trade away a promising young pitcher like Michael Fulmer, who went to the Tigers last summer in the Yoenis Cespedes trade. Of course, Cespedes performed far better for the Mets than anyone could […]

And considering Daniel Murphy’s great start with Washington, are the Mets already missing his bat? I appreciate what Murphy did for the […]

My favorite part of Friday’s Opening Day festivities was seeing Rusty Staub, John Franco, and Edgardo Alfonzo raise the 2015 National League championship flag. Memorable Mets who were part of memorable teams that got to the World Series, only to fall short of a title. 1973 and 2000 will never be confused with 1969 and […]

When the Mets collapsed in 2007, it was appropriate for the Daily News to put a distraught fan on the cover. But when the Mets are opening the season as defending NL champions, the Times somehow decided it was time for an interactive look at a photo of shocked Met fans watching Eric Hosmer score […]
