In a season with two extra playoff teams and a great deal of parity, virtually every franchise has hope heading into the season's second half. That's why you should care about Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.
Sunday's walk-off grand slam stung and stunned New York. But it wasn't the first time. Or even the ninth.
Mets manager Terry Collins admitted after Sunday's stunning loss to Miami that he's "concerned" about his high-priced closer.
Frank Francisco was tossed in the Mets' Sunday afternoon loss and could possibly face a suspension for his altercation with umpire Todd Tichenor.
The Mets' bullpen imploded in sensational fashion as the Marlins won 8-4 on a Giancarlo Stanton walk-off home run.
David Wright collected four hits as the Mets defeated the Marlins on Saturday 9-3.
Greg Dobbs' single with two outs in the ninth inning scored Emilio Bonifacio from second base with the winning run Friday, and the Miami Marlins rallied to end the New York Mets' five-game winning streak with a 6-5 victory.
All right, class. Raise your hands if you thought the 2012 Mets would be sitting five games over .500 at this point.
Who are these guys? The Beasts of the East, that's who. Mets manager Terry Collins stated this spring - "We're better than people think we are" - and his team has set out to prove him right.
The Rangers remain in the top spot, but check out the rise of the Indians.
Overall, the Mets are 10 and 5 so far this season against NL East opponents. New York has not posted a winning record vs. their division rivals since 2008.
The Mets' six-game road trip will be a test of their character and could define their season.
David Wright hit a two-run homer to become the Mets' career RBIs leader, R.A. Dickey outpitched Mark Buehrle in a crafty duel Wednesday night and New York beat the Miami Marlins 5-1.
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.
A little sunshine breaking through the dark clouds that always seem to follow the Mets around.
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.
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.
Hey, at least it's not Chipper Jones. Right, Mets fans?
If Ozzie Guillen is the quick-fix it takes to win the NL East, the Mets should proudly sign up for a losing season.
Ozzie Guillen's remarks sparked an uproar in Miami, whose home team just opened up its brand new ballpark in a neighborhood dubbed Little Havana.
Watch out, Yankees. Major League Baseball is starting to spread the wealth.
All we've heard about the 2012 Mets has been negative, and that's putting it mildly. It's been more like depressing. Enter Rich Coutinho.
