PITCHING IDEAS
BY MIKE RIFKIN The 2026 Mets were a disaster. One of the areas that gave fans optimism was the starting rotation. Nolan McLean, Christian Scott and Zac Thornton are young starters, who give you hope. Sean Manaea had a tale of two halves, but still finished with a ERA of 4.78. Kodai Senga looked betterContinue reading “PITCHING IDEAS”
MV-PCA : WHAT A SEASON
By Mark Halpern As a TRUE die-hard Mets fan I think back to that gloomy day at the end of July in 2021, when the Mets made the trade that sent Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Chicago Cubs for Javier Baez and Trevor Williams. The Mets were making a push at the trade deadline and neededContinue reading “MV-PCA : WHAT A SEASON”
LETTING THEIR VOICES BE HEARD
BY MIKE RIFKIN For the last three days it’s been weird to be a Mets fan. For the last three days it feels there has been an uncivil discourse between fans and players alike, whether that’s through social media or through the traditional media. The last three days have been an eternity, and it hasContinue reading “LETTING THEIR VOICES BE HEARD”
RETURN OF THE POLAR BEAR
BY MIKE RIFKIN For a generation of Met fans December 11th 2025 is a day that they’ll never forget.

Alonso,Continue reading “RETURN OF THE POLAR BEAR”

ROOKIE AND THE VET
BY MARK HALPERN AND MIKE RIFKIN The New York Mets have underachieved this season. They lost some of their biggest players to free agency before Mets fans had a chance to think about next year. The biggest being Pete Alonso, who was affectionately as “The Polar Bear” went to the Baltimore Orioles for a 5Continue reading “ROOKIE AND THE VET”
A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE
BY MIKE RIFKIN For the first time in three months Jonah Tong pitched for the Mets on Monday, and he pitched really well. The stat line won’t show it : five innings, four hits, four runs, one walk and seven strikeouts. But the four runs all came in one inning against Tong. These last fewContinue reading “A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE”
STICKING AROUND
BY MIKE RIFKIN On Wednesday prior to the Mets – Padres game, owner Steve Cohen met with the media. The big thing I took away was that Cohen is committed to David Stearns to continue his role as President of Baseball Ops. Cohen said “ I’m committed to David… we’re going to move forward. IContinue reading “STICKING AROUND”
THE YOUNG AND THE PLATOON ROLE?
BY MIKE RIFKIN The Mets have been a major disappointment in Baseball this season. But since the All -Star Break they have played better, and have won eight of eleven games. (Now this is not a standings article although I should mention they’re 11 out and can make up some ground against the Padres). TheContinue reading “THE YOUNG AND THE PLATOON ROLE?”
