5/16/13: The Mets are going nowhere this year. That is a fact. The competition between the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals is too strong. Even though the Mets are only 6.5 game out, they are 14-21. However, they have found their ace of the future (and present) in Matt Harvey. Harvey is a former first round pick, and at age 24 seems to have mastered the game. His fastball measures 98 MPH and he is dominating opposing hitters. The real fun comes in comparing him to Cardinals' rookie Shelby Miller. This looks like a long term rivalry for all sides.

5/9/13: The Mets are languishing at a few games below .500, and it did not help that the hapless Miami Marlins took two of thee last week. New York is in fourth place in the division, a couple games behind Philadelphia for third place and a good 5.5 ahead of Miami for last. They are not expected to do much this year, particularly with a young team and financial instability. The only good news is that they seemed to have gotten the better end of the R.A. Dickey trade. Dickey won the Cy Young award last season with a devastating knuckleball. But he has been a huge disappointment for the Blue Jays. Meanwhile, the prospects the Mets received are doing fairly well, and may turn into solid pros.

4/25/13: The Mets, thus far, have been better than advertised. They are above 500, tied with the Nationals, and 3.5 games behind the NL East leading Atlanta Braves. A lot of this success has to fall on rookie pitcher Matt Harvey. Harvey has more wins than the rest of the rotation combined at this point. He flew under the radar for years and is now making his presence known in a big way. If you have a chance to see it, Harvey and the Mets will face off against Steven Strausberg and the Nationals on Friday - must see TV for big time baseball fans.

3/28/13: The Mets informed left handed relief pitcher Pedro Feliciano that he will not make the opening day roster, but instead will be sent to triple A ball for a month to build his arm strength. Feliciano played for the Mets for eight years and set a club record for most relief appearances in a season in 2010 with 92. But he spent the last two seasons with the crosstown Yankees - he missed that time with shoulder injuries and has therefore lost velocity. Feliciano claims he feels good, but understands that he needs to get more arm strength before he can be effective on a daily basis.

9/27/12 ? The magic number for RA Dickey was 20. Against the Pittsburgh Pirates he reached that number. Dickey struck out 13 in 7 2/3 innings en route to a 6-5 win. He was shaky early, allowing three runs during the first four innings of the game. But, the Mets offense was there to pick him up. Ike Davis hit his 31st home run of the year and David Wright hit a three-run opposite- field blast to put the Mets up for good. Dickey became the first knuckleballer to win 20 games since 1980 and became the first Mets pitcher to win 20 since Frank Viola did it in 1990. With one more start to go and the NL CY Young within his reach, Dickey leads the National League in strikeouts (222) and innings pitched (227.2) and is second in wins (20) and ERA (2.69).

While the demolition of Shea Stadium in 2008 saddened many fans, that feeling was quickly alleviated when Citi Field opened its gates. The time and attention to detail devoted to the design and construction of Citi Field is fitting of a stadium in the Big Apple. Citi Field plays heavy homage to the Brooklyn Dodgers of old, so much so to the point that it caused controversy when the stadium first opened! Despite that, many are fans of the stadium, which strives to create a bridge from past to present. Outside of a few concerts here and there and maybe the oddball soccer event, Citi Field is exclusively home to the New York Mets. While the team has seen little success in recent years, the fans still come out in droves on a daily basis. The passionate New York fanbase will support the team through thick and thin, ensuring a festive atmosphere for fans. Located in Queens, Citi Field is easily accessible through almost any means of New York City mass transit. Hopping on the train after work to catch the 7:05 first pitch should never be a problem. Once you arrive at the stadium, there are a variety of things to do and see. Once you take your first steps in, immediately noticeable is the Jackie Robinson rotunda, a shrine to the former Dodger great. After that, there are ample other attractions, such as FanFest areas and countless restaurants and bars. Once you actually get around to watching the game, many agree that the Field is one of the best in the country. Citi Field has been a NYC staple since it opened and will be for the foreseeable future.

8/10/12 ? While the Mets downward spiral continues, there has been one bright spot throughout all of this. Starting pitcher R.A. Dickey has been all the Mets expected and a lot more. Dickey pitched a complete game for his 15th win of the season, helping to end the New York Mets nine-game home losing skid with a 6-1 win over the Miami Marlins. The knuckleballer threw his fourth complete game of the season and is now the league leader in strikeouts with 166. He has a chance to be the Mets first 20 game winner in more than 20 years. Andres Torres gave Dickey all the run support he needed hitting a home run, triple, and double to drive in three runs.

The struggling Mets may have some hope for the future. Their top prospect, Matt Harvey, started his first career game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The former North Carolina Tar Heel did not disappoint. Harvey pitched 5 1/3 innings striking out 11, holding Arizona to three hits and no runs in New York's 3-1 win. The 11 strikeouts were a franchise record for a pitcher in his career debut. With a fastball that hovered around 96 MPH all game and breaking pitches around 88 MPH, Arizona hitters often struck out swinging. Scott Hairston had a two-run double in the first inning and Andres Torres tripled and scored to give Harvey all the run support he needed. The 23-year-old from New London, Connecticut, also helped his own cause going 2 for 2 at the plate with a double and single. The Mets bullpen allowed a run in the eighth but was able to close the door for Harvey's first career victory and snap a six game losing streak.

Stephen Strasburg struck out 11 in seven innings in the Washington Nationals 5-2 victory over the New York Mets. The win gives the Nationals a sweep over their rivals and the Mets continue to struggle in the second half of the season. Since the All-Star break, the Mets have lost 11 of 12 games. With injuries to Johan Santana and Dillon Gee and an offense that has stalled has the Mets fading fast. The team has called up top prospect Matt Harvey who is set to make his major league debut in Arizona. Harvey was drafted seventh overall in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. In 20 starts in Triple-A Buffalo, Harvey was 7-5 with a 3.68 ERA.

With the New York Mets in a landslide having lost six games in a row and 12 of their last 13 following the All-Star break, they turned to rookie pitcher Matt Harvey to open their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. Harvey, who has been hyped as the savior for the Mets rotation since before the season started, originally was not supposed to see action in the majors until much later on, however last night he wowed with 11 strikeouts and two hits of his own en route to a 3-1 win over Arizona. He allowed 3 hits in 5.1 innings and the Mets showed some signs of life for the first time in weeks.

The New York Mets won their second consecutive game on Thursday night, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 at Dodger Stadium. Chris Young picked up his second win of the season, improving to 2-1, while Bobby Parnell picked up his first save filling in for the injured Frank Francisco. David Wright continued his hot first half of the season with a home run and 2 RBI, bringing his totals up to 9 home runs and 49 RBI with a .361 batting average. On Friday night, R.A. Dickey will take the mound for the 41-36 Mets who are currently tied with the Atlanta Braves for 2nd in the NL East.

The New York Mets are certainly no strangers to the sweep lately, as their last four series have ended in sweeps. After being swept by the Yankees in the first part of the Subway Series a few weeks ago, the Mets went on to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays, then get swept by the Cincinnati Reds last weekend, before sweeping the Baltimore Orioles this past week. In that series, the unhittable (at least as of late) R.A. Dickey picked up his second consecutive one-hitter in a 5-0 win on Monday night. The Mets, now at 38-32, will face the Yankees again beginning on Friday night for part two of the Subway Series. However, the Mets are at home this time, where they are 22-15 so far this season.

After a particularly disappointing series in the Bronx last weekend in which they were swept by their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets rebounded in a big way by going into Tropicana Field in Tampa and doing the Yankees a big favor by sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mets emphatically swept the formerly first-place Rays by outscoring them 29-9 in the three-game series and the big story of the week was the awe-inspiring 1-hit, 12-strikeout, complete game performance by R.A. Dickey in the Mets 9-1 win on Wednesday night. Dickey was one hit shy of throwing the second Mets no-hitter in two weeks and improved his major league-best record to 10-1.

R.A. Dickey pitched another 7.1 scoreless innings on Thursday afternoon to push his scoreless streak to 24.2 innings. The effort was more than enough to earn him the win in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals and push his record to 9-1, making him the first pitcher in the league to reach the 9-win plateau. His 9-1 record and 2.44 ERA put him in the top 5 in both categories for pitchers and is a major part of why the 32-26 Mets will head into their weekend series with the New York Yankees only 1.5 games out of the division lead. Johan Santana, who pitched the first no-hitter in Mets history last Friday night, will face Hiroki Kuroda in the first game of the Subway Series on Friday night.

No matter who they throw into the lineup, the New York Mets somehow keep finding ways to win games. At 28-23, they are third in the NL East only 1.5 games out of the division lead. Offensively, they are led by David Wright who is batting .365 with 5 home runs and 30 RBI. Their early season success on the mound has been fueled by Johan Santana's 2.75 ERA and R.A. Dickey's masterful start, as he's 7-1 with a 3.04 ERA and 61 strikeouts. The Mets will reunite with Carlos Beltran in a four-game series this weekend at Citi Field against the defending World Series champs.

5/25/12 The New York Mets, at 24-21, are up and down as of late, and are coming off of an 11-5 loss to the San Diego Padres in the first of their four- game weekend set at Citi Field. The Mets have struggled mightily to find a replacement in their rotation for injured starter Mike Pelfrey, and his replacements have gone 1-3 with an ERA of over 7.00 in his absence. The Mets have gotten surprising offensive production thus far this season from their young lineup of guys like Mike Baxter, Lucas Duda, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis and David Wright still leads all of baseball with his .405 batting average.

5/18/12 The New York Mets rallied from a 4-0 deficit to the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday afternoon to win 9-4 and snap a two-game skid. At 21-17, the surprising Mets trail the first-place Braves by 2.5 games in the NL East and will head north this weekend for a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Oddly enough, the New York Mets have been outscored by their opponents so far this season by 21 runs, but they still remain four games above .500. For the most part, they have David Wright to thank, who's leading the majors with a .411 batting average to go along with 4 home runs and 22 RBI.

5/11/12 After sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies on the road with three consecutive late-inning rallies, the New York Mets will head to Miami for another series against a division rival. The Mets swept the Marlins the last time they faced, a few weeks prior at Citi Field in New York. Now, the Mets are 18-13 and will carry a five-game winning streak with them to the new Marlins Park, their first visit there this season. The Mets trail the first place Washington Nationals by only 1 game in the NL East and are currently 6th in the league in both batting average and on-base percentage.

5/4/12 After winning two out of three games in a thrilling series with the Colorado Rockies and winning five of their last six games, the New York Mets went into Houston and got swept by the Astros, dropping their record on the season to 13-12. Still above .500, the Mets return home to Citi Field for a three-game series against the 13-13 Arizona Diamondbacks before heading back out on the road again. Sixth in the league in batting average, the Mets have been buoyed by David Wright's hot start to the season. Wright is currently batting .392 with 3 home runs and 14 RBI.

4/26/12 - New York Mets' starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear in his right elbow and will most likely have reconstructive Tommy John surgery. The usual recovery time for Tommy John surgery is 12-18 months. Pelfrey will miss the rest of the season. This comes as a shock to Pelfrey and the Mets. For the most part Pelfrey has remained healthy throughout his career. Pelfrey is 0-0 with a 2.29 ERA after three starts this season. Chris Schwinden will be called up from the Mets Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo to pitch in Pelfrey's place on Friday against Colorado.

4/25/12 - David Wright hit a two-run homerun to become the Mets' career RBI leader. Wright's homer off of Marlins' pitcher Mark Buehrle also gave the Mets a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth in their 5-1 victory against the Marlins. This gives Wright 735 career RBI's in a Met uniform breaking a tie with former Met great and previous record holder Darryl Strawberry. Mets starter, R.A. Dickey outpitched Buehrle during the game and key hits in the bottom of the 8th gave the Mets what they needed to beat the Marlins tonight. Lucas Duda and Mike Baxter came through in the 8th inning with two out RBI hits against the Marlins bullpen to put the game out of reach.

4/24/12 - From 2003-2011, Jose Reyes was the star shortstop for the New York Mets. After signing a 6-year, $106 million with the Miami Marlins, Reyes made his first visit today in a Marlins uniform. Reyes was treated to a video tribute, which showed his finest moments in a Met uniform. The crowd reaction was mixed. Many fans showered him with boos and the rest offered him a standing ovation. Reyes didn't provide much spark going 0 for 4 for the day. The main highlight was the pitcher's duel between Johan Santana of the Mets and Josh Johnson from the Marlins. Santana went 6 and 2/3 innings allowing 1 run and striking out 11. Johnson countered with 6 and 2/3 innings of his own allowing 1 run with 9 strikeouts. During a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 8th, with runners on first and third, Lucas Duda hit an infield single to give the Mets a 2-1 lead. Frank Francisco then shut the door in the 9th for his 4th save of the year.

New York Mets- Season Info June

The Mets are looking to end their Pirates series with a win before they continue on to play the Braves. After Saturday's game against the Pirates, the Mets requested a review of Andrew McCutchen's third-inning "hit." The team contacted the MLB central offices requesting that they change the ruling to an error. This would result in a deduction of two earned runs from R.A. Dickey's line. With two wins already under their belt, the New York Mets hope to finish up their series against the Braves with a win before heading home to face the LA Angels.The New York Mets had a lot of success this past week. They had winning series against both the Athletics and the Rangers. With one win against the Tigers already under their belts, it looks like they may continue their winning streak another week. Since the beginning of the month, the Mets are 4 and 2. They pulled off a win Sunday against the Yankees, and are now on a 4-game winning streak after the Dodgers this week.

The Mets unfortunately finished up the Dodgers series with a 0-6 loss, after winning their first 3 games. Things continued to go down hill following the Dodgers, with a losing series against both the Giants and the Phillies. Next up the Mets are facing the Marlins and the Cardinals.

New York Mets Tickets - The Players

The Mets as a whole haven't been so amazing. Carlos Beltran didn't live up to expectations. Johann Santana isn't pitching like he should be. David Wright has been injured and isn't producing much. Jose Reyes and Jason Bay are the only redeeming qualities for the Mets right now. The Mets have been at or near the bottom of the NL East for a while now. The team is really making it seem that the days of Casey Stengel, tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Gary Carter, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson was so long ago.
