Miracle Mets still trying to solve their Shohei Ohtani enigma
The Mets have shown plenty of heart, guts, and resilience throughout their magical and entertaining October run. That's all great. But today, they seem no match for Shohei Ohtani (whose skill combination is perhaps unparalleled in baseball history) or, frankly, the Dodgers. When this National League Championship Series began, it was being claimed that Ohtani […]
Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani crushes second pitch of game vs. Mets for leadoff homer
In Game 4 between the Mets and Dodgers on Thursday night, Shohei Ohtani gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead on just his second pitch. The Japanese superstar got off to a strong start in Game 2 of the series at Citi Field by sending a sinker from Jose Quintana 422 feet into the right field […]
Mets let home crowd down with NLCS Game 3 dud vs. Dodgers
The roar during pregame introductions wasn't supposed to be the loudest of the night, but what else happened on Wednesday?

New York, New York – The Los Angeles Dodgers showed a powerful punch for the second time in three games.

Francisco Alvarez’s ugly night won’t come with any Mets changes
Carlos Mendoza immediately put an end to this speculation. “Albie will play tomorrow,” the Mets manager said Wednesday after an 8-0 loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 at Citi Field. However, there is reason for speculation about Francisco Alvarez's playing time. The young catcher, who is generally good enough, is currently giving the Mets […]
Carlos Mendoza’s priorities are in the wrong place with Mets’ season on edge
This season, and especially the past four-and-a-half months, has been about fun, character, and the never-ending feel-good atmosphere that invaded the Mets' clubhouse around June 1 and never let go. There were a lot of upsets in the standings and in a lot of games that allowed us to move up in the standings. Fun […]
Mets couldn’t match moment in rare October flop this postseason
The capacity crowd was animated and excited at the Mets' first National League Championship Series game at Citi Field in nearly a decade. The Mets failed to adequately reward household electricity.
