Sixty two acres of rough and tumble small businesses, auto repair shops and iron works in the shadow of Citi Field will be wiped off the map and replaced by a 1 million square-foot mall, hotel, among other things.
In honor of his hit on Wednesday night -- his first since returning from the disabled list -- this column is devoted to Mets fans' public enemy number one (at least within the 40-man roster, that is).
The Mets waited until the 8,020th game in franchise history for their first no-hitter. Now, 11 games later, New York hopes MLB will hand them another one.
Yes, the Mets are examining the possibility of selling tickets for a designated "quiet" section. The Amazin's posed the question to their fans in an email survey Wednesday.
Dickey, who characterized the Mets' appeal as a "Hail Mary," didn't sound all too positive that he'd welcome the unlikely ruling.
R.A. Dickey is enjoying a year like no knuckleballer before him and his mastery in controlling the pitch had led to an unbelievable strikeout-to-walk ratio.
OK, it wasn't just a great game. It was a one-hit wonder, which really could have gone down as another Mets no-no.
After going off on a rant about why this is such a bad idea, Craig heard from the Mets, who offered an explanation as to why they are mulling over the decision.
A lot has been made of David Wright's prowess with the bat. Now, his defense at third, that has been a different story entirely. Just ask R.A. Dickey.
R.A. Dickey had a special night down in Tampa last on Wednesday. But it could have been super special if not for the shaky play of his teammate David Wright at third base.
R.A. Dickey allowed only an infield single in his second career one-hitter and broke the New York Mets' record for consecutive scoreless innings in a 9-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.
Managers Terry Collins of the Mets and Ron Roenicke of the Brewers will serve as NL coaches for the All-Star game and managers Ned Yost of the Royals and Bob Melvin of the A's will coach on the AL side.
Bay has now gone 0 for 16 in four games since coming off the disabled list, and has seen his average drop to .182.
Apparently they're better indoors than outside.
As is usually the case, Jerry Recco failed to make it through his first update without being interrupted. Today's interruption though, was understandable - which isn't always the case.
Yankees beat the Braves and the Mets beat the Rays, which meant Boomer & Craig entered the Allstate Studio early Wednesday morning with a whole lot to talk about.
Chris Young allowed nine hits over 5 2-3 innings, walked two and struck out four in his second major league outing since returning from shoulder surgery that sidelined him most of last season.
Talk about a rosy outlook. McCann has "struck a $20 million deal" to become part-owner of the Mets, according to the New York Post.
What the Mets really need is a new arm or two out there. That might be something for Sandy Alderson to consider well before the July 31 trade deadline.
Ultimately, this is a team that has a very small margin for error, and they have committed way too many errors to survive.
The weekend at Bernie's wasn't very much fun for the Mets.
When Craig shared his disapproval of the Mets continued attempts to profit off of Johan Santana's no-hitter - the franchises first ever 'no-no' - Boomer chimed in and called the whole hoopla surrounding the feat 'overblown.'
The Yankees hit four home runs off Johan Santana Friday night in his first start after no-hitting the Cardinals. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that matches the most home runs allowed by a pitcher in his first start after throwing a no-hitter or a perfect game.
Terry Collins was worried that the error David Wright just made could lead to trouble. With the way the Yankees have hit this month, who could blame him?
