Mets take game one against Cubs

NLCS Rematch heating up

The Chicago Cubs (51-27, 1st NL Central) came into Flushing riding a two game streak but came up against a New York Mets(41-37, 2nd NL East) squad looking to take things to the next level. After four straight losses to the Nationals the 4-3 win against the division leading Cubs was a welcome site.

“It sure came at the right time,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “To come back against that team, first game of this 11-game homestand, I think it’s huge for us. It lifted the spirits of every guy in there.”

Game two tonight will feature Jacob deGrom (3-4, 2.67 ERA) going up against Jason Hammel (7-4, 2.58 ERA).  Hammel is 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in five career starts against the Mets.  The last time deGrom took the mound he was most effective tossing eight shutout innings against the Braves.  Hammel has not pitched at Citi Field since April 2011.

Mets sneak by Royals

Bortolo Colon took the mound to kick off the first game of a two game series against the Kansas City Royals and just four pitches in to Whit Merrifield, he was forced to leave after trying to catch Merrifield’s hit off his 97 MPH fastball.  It ended up bouncing off his glove and ricocheting  off his throwing (right) hand.  Enter reliever Hansel Robles.

“The first thought that popped into my head was, ‘God, please don’t let this be a broken thumb,'” Colon said. “I had never been hit there before.”

X-rays proved negative and Robles stood tall for three and one half innings, giving up only one run.  He would give way to four other relievers in the 2-1 victory.

The Mets and Royals meet in the rubber game today at noon.  Noah Snydergaard get the start for the Mets going up against the Royal’s Danny Duffy.  Tickets are still available so be sure to get out and support your New York Mets today!!

Mets drop final game against Marlins

After taking games one and two on Friday and Saturday, the NY Mets ran into Jose Fernandez who matched his career high 14 strikeouts over seven innings Sunday afternoon helping the Marlins squeeze out a 1-0 win.

“I’m trying more to just worry about a pitch at a time and not think of who I’m pitching against,” Fernandez said. “Obviously, with all due respect, (Mets pitcher Matt) Harvey was throwing the ball great. It’s fun to see him out there, throwing the ball hard, making good pitches. We came out on top today, and I’m really happy about it. I’m just excited, happy that we got a win.”

Harvey pitched a great game as noted by Fernandez with Matt extending his scoreless innings streak to 12 after J.T. Realmuto blasted home the games only run in the fifth inning.

“I think it’s going to ease Matt’s mind most of all, and that’s the one that counts,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “He felt good about what he did today, how he got through it. He kept the damage down and pitched great. It was one of those games, a great pitching matchup head-to-head. That’s exactly what you’d expect, a 1-0 game.”

The Mets continue their road swing with a three game stand against the Pirates then another against the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Mets return to the confines of Citi Field to take on the Pirates, the Braves and the Royals before heading back out on the road.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your New York Mets when they return home!

Mets look to get back to ALCS and beyond

The New York Mets took the eventual World Series Champion Kansas City Royals to six games before falling to them.  No one predicted such a rise from a club  that was supposed to be heading nowhere in the fall of 2014.  Then Yeonis Cespedes happened to the club.  Many thought that he would not return to the club, but he inked a one year deal that will see him in a Mets uniform again this season.

The Mets are boasting a stellar rotation that includes  David Wright, Zach Wheeler, and Matt Harvey plus the team is at least eight deep and they have a little left over in the purse to pursue anyone they fell may give the roster and team a boost, if needed.

Upcoming Spring games include the Marlins, The Nationals and Cardinals.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your New York Mets!!
