Woes, Not Wins For Mets? Wheeler, Walker and Wright Are Wrong.
MARLBORO, NY – Hope springs eternal… but I’m already here to rain on the Mets parade before the season starts. There are some red flags as we speak and little has been done again by Mets management to address the infield and, of all things, the pitching. “W’ stands for wins in baseball but for […]
MLB Trade Deadline: Yankees Buyers or Sellers?
SPANISH HARLEM – As the MLB Trade Deadline nears its new August 1st spot on the calendar, the question for the Yankees organization becomes, will they be buyers or sellers? As an older team, they don’t have much in assets as some other teams (like the cross-town Mets, who are fighting for a playoff spot), […]
Suddenly Sinking Mets, Home Run Derby, All Star Conspiracy
ENGLISHTOWN, NJ – Funny stuff last week as I lost mostly all of what little credibility I have remaining here at MTM. Last Sunday’s post involved me harping on how the New York Mets are a light-hitting, pitching-strong team only to watch them lash out a franchise record twenty-two hits good for fourteen runs in […]
Meet Matt Harvey: .500 pitcher
FLUSHING, NY-Compared to most people on MTM, I have been a Mets fan for all of about two seconds. Curtis Granderson is batting below the Mendoza line as a leadoff batter but, thankfully for The Grandy Man, there is a hot-button topic surrounding the team bothering the fan base that I find a little puzzling. […]
Throwback Thor, Best Trade Ever, Roberto Alomar On Camera
CHAVEZ RAVINE, L.A. – While watching Son Of Zeus, Noah Syndergaard – known in some circles simply as Thor – strike down upon the Dodgers in avenging the Lost Souls of Brooklyn (we feel your pain, Bernie Sanders), today’s topics were borne: Throwback Thor, Best Trade Ever, Roberto Alomar On Camera. Throwback Thor: Okay, so […]
New York Mets Pitching Staff, Japanese Drop Ball/Stadium, Soccer (?!) News
EL BARIO, EL BRONX – Its feels good to be home. Back in the bronx with our poor version of Chicken Wings, great pizza and neighbors playing music so loud you can’t hear yourself think. Home sweet home if there was a truer meaning of that saying, this would be it. To celebrate, I will […]
Tommy John Mets, Yankees Soccer, King Lundquist Returns
NEW YORK, NY – Filling in for Angry Ward can be like opening up for Led Zeppelin ! It can be a daunting task. He was last seen dressed as a Leprechaun heading towards Flushing with a bloody shillelagh in his hands. Watch out Wilpon! Spring is resonating in our senses. The grass will be turning as green as […]
Blaber’s Blabberings: NY Mets Duo Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler Need Nicknames
Happy Birthday, America! ANOTHER FALSE DAWN, NY – Sitting here in my Bronx apt with my New York Metropolitans hat on, reading about their rookie dynamic young pitching combo Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler. These guys are looking the goods but they need a cool moniker. After all, it’s baseball and there’s a prerequisite for […]
So Far, So… Not Bad for Yanks, Mets, Rangers, Isles, and Knicks
New York, NY – We’re almost a month into this baseball season and the Yankees have won more games than I thought they would win before the All Star break. And the Mets have won more games than I thought they would win all season. Up in Boston, the Bosox are off to a flying […]
NY Rangers Keep Pace Despite Isles, Mets and Yanks Upbeat
NEW YORK, NY – The NY Rangers have been playing well of late, last night’s capitulation to the hated Islanders aside. They’ve been keeping pace with the Penguins and Blue Jackets. They’re safe in the first Wild Card slot for now, which would put them on a collision course with Les Canadiens de Montreal in […]
