Mets fans were planning to lament Jose Reyes' arrival at Citi Field in a Marlins uniform. But they all missed the point -- they should've been grateful Santana was wearing the blue and orange.
The announced attendance was 20,192, the smallest of the season at Citi Field. But those Mets fans in the stands Tuesday night sure could make some noise.
Mike Pelfrey and Jason Bay have been placed on the DL, the latest round of bad news for a Mets team beset by injuries to key players the past few years.
A little sunshine breaking through the dark clouds that always seem to follow the Mets around.
With the Mets placing both Jason Bay and Mike Pelfrey on the DL Tuesday, Craig declared this morning that the team's season is officially underway.
Jose Reyes went hitless in his return to Citi Field and Lucas Duda lined a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that caromed off reliever Edward Mujica, sending the New York Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night.
The Mets have placed right-hander Mike Pelfrey on the disabled list with elbow swelling.
It has become a familiar refrain for Mets fans: Jason Bay to the disabled list.
Though some fans may be upset with the idea of honoring a now-division rival, Mets third baseman David Wright thinks Jose Reyes should get a good hand from the Flushing faithful.
Reyes appeared in 999 games at shortstop for the Mets, second only to Bud Harrelson (1,280) for the most in club history.
It has the look and feel of a debacle. In other words, it is something that only the Mets could come up with.
Tim Lincecum posted his first win of the season despite another uneven performance, Nate Schierholtz and Buster Posey homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 6-1 Monday in the first game of a doubleheader.
If a Mets pitcher wants to pitch a no-hitter or, better, a perfect game, the first order of business is to find his way out of the organization.
7,982 games -- and counting. Though it would be nice, fans in Flushing aren't asking for a perfecto. They just want to enjoy a no-hitter. Just once.
Mike Pelfrey has always been an enigma to the New York Mets because he has always possessed great stuff, but has had a hard time getting the consistency that all winning pitchers need. Is this year different?
