Scott Hairston, subbing for ailing All-Star Carlos Beltran, hit a long homer and drove in a career-best five runs as the Mets hammered Phillies ace Cole Hamels 11-2.
The New York Mets are saluting Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry, who was recently awarded a Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama.
Carlos Beltran is out with the flu, further depleting the New York Mets' injury-riddled lineup against Philadelphia.
John Mayberry Jr. drove in five runs to set another career best, Vance Worley pitched well enough and the Philadelphia Phillies got off to a strong start after the All-Star break by beating the New York Mets 7-2 on Friday night.
After what has occurred in the Met organization in the past few months, it is clear to me that the Wilpons have an absolute gem in general manager Sandy Alderson.
Fans at Citi Field will have to wait a little longer to see their dazzling shortstop back in the lineup. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Jose Reyes likely will not be back on Monday when he is due to return from the disabled list.
Francisco Rodriguez is fine with being traded to the Brewers. And why wouldn't he be? Well, according to K-Rod, he previously indicated he did not want to be dealt to the club.
This weekend against the Phillies, if Mets manager Terry Collins needs to pick up the bullpen phone to call for his closer, his decision won't be so easy.
In what is vital stretch for manager Terry Collins' club, the Mets open their second half with a three-game set with the visiting Phillies, who continue their quest for a fifth consecutive NL East title Friday night.
After chatting with Daniel Murphy about tonight's Phillies-Mets game, the guys welcomed Ron Darling into the Allstate Studio to get the perspective of a former player/current analyst, which Darling certainly is.
With the Mets prepared to take on Phillies tonight at Citi Field, Al Dukes booked Daniel Murphy and his Amish beard to join Boomer & Craig and talk about the club.
Can we please stop with these two players to be named the Mets will receive for K-Rod? They have names. We just don't know them.
Craig was a little long-winded when opening up today's edition of the Boomer & Carton Morning Extravaganza after 'his beloved' Yankees played north of the border last night and got a beatdown to the tune of 16-7.
K-Rod is gone, and Mets fans worry Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran could be next. It all depends on the next couple of weeks.
With their trade for ex-Met Francisco Rodriguez, the Brewers now can call on a pair of potential closers. That's great news for Milwaukee. For K-Rod, not so much.
