Breaking News: The Mets Have Two Hall of Famers and Mets Fans are Complaining
Hey Mets fans, consider this a reality check. A wake-up call. A figurative slap across the cheek designed to snap us out of our collective, group-text-level despair. Edwin Díaz is gone. Pete Alonso is gone. Brandon Nimmo is gone. And for good measure, let’s toss Jeff McNeil into the emotional blender as well. These were real Mets. Long term Mets. Homegrown Mets. “They were here when times were bad” Mets. The kind of guys you don’t just watch—you invest in. Jerseys were purcha

Franchise Friday: Spahn and deGrom and Pray for a Sac Fly. Jake's Great in 2-0 Win Over Braves
Week 8 of Franchise Fridays took us on the road to Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium, where the All-Time Mets Greats faced off against the All-Time Braves Greats. The opponent was chosen by fan vote, the setting chosen by nostalgia, and the pitching matchup ordained by the baseball gods themselves. Thanks to Strat-O-Matic and the Franchise Greats sets, these dream matchups aren’t just imagined—we play them out, pitch by pitch, and get to study a real, honest-to-goodness box sco

The Clock is Ticking: How the Mets Can Spend Smart in 2026
The calendar has officially flipped to 2026, which in Mets terms means two things. First, we are now legally allowed to worry about a season that has not started yet. Second, the excuses have expired. This is the point on the baseball calendar where optimism either matures into strategy or sits on the couch in sweatpants, scrolling through old box scores and whispering, “Trust the plan. There is definitely a plan.” I have maintained all along, often loudly, that David Stearns

Mets Offseason Fallout: Alonso, Díaz, the Departures, the Backlash, They have “Some ’Splaining to Do”
Let’s be honest, Mets fans: if 2024 ended on the magical, delirious high of the “OMG Run,” and the following offseason delivered the jaw-dropping addition of Juan Soto, you would’ve thought the Mets were building toward a baseball utopia. Instead, the collapse of the 2025 offseason and the events of the past two days have felt more like waking up the next morning, looking around your house, only to realize someone took the TV, the couch, and half the kitchen appliances.

Franchise Fridays Week 3: Dodgers Sweep Mets in Nail-Biting Strat-O-Matic Showdown at Citi Field
Week 3 of Franchise Fridays at Citi Field had all the tension of a playoff game, even if it was really just a Strat-O-Matic showdown between Mets All-Time Greats and Dodgers All-Time Greats. After the Mets dropped the first two games of the series—Tom Seaver outpitched by Sandy Koufax at Shea, Doc Gooden outmatched by Don Drysdale at Ebbets—the spotlight fell on Jacob deGrom. He was tasked with keeping the Mets competitive, while Fernando Valenzuela, with his hypnotic screwba
