I can’t believe that the Mid-Summer Classic is upon us already. It seems crazy to me to think that it’s mid-way through the season (actually, it’s 88 games into the season, which is 54.32% though the season). I always hear people complain about the All-Star game, saying how it’s not fun to watch and it’s [...]
So we have 3 games to go before the All-Star break, which is not exactly the halfway point of the season, but most folks consider it so. Technically, the Mets will have played 88 games when the break comes which is 7 games past the halfway mark. As it stands right this moment, the Mets [...]
Exhibit A: So far, a 1/4 of the way through the 2010 Baseball Season, Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey have unsurprisingly emerged as the top 2 pitchers on the Mets staff. Coincidentally, during a series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on April 30th through May 2nd, the 2 of them threw back-to-back [...]
Every once in a while, I feel like I need to take a break from watching baseball. I’m way too emotional of a fan, and following a team like the Mets can be extremely stressful at time, even when the win. But I can’t do it. I think I have a problem. Starter Jon Niese [...]
In honor of the fact that today the Mets are playing like some of those early Mets teams, I present to you a quintet of 1964 Topps High #’s that I recently won off of eBay. It’s always nice to be able to cross off any high number from any of these older Topps sets [...]
So it’s finally here. I guess technically yesterday was the season opener, but really who cares about the defending world champs playing against their bitter rivals at one of the oldest ballparks in the country. SNORE! Right now as I type this, we’re looking at roughly 3 hours until Johan Santana throws the first pitch [...]
This is the finale in the 3 blockbuster trades I made over the last week or two that did extensive damage to various wantlists. Chris from Project ’62 had contacted me letting me know that he recently came across a box of beat up vintage cards and offered me some Mets from the box along [...]
Last week was a pretty good week for me trade-wise. I got three trade offers that ended up doing some pretty fierce damage to various wantlists of mine. Todays episode comes to us from reader Robert, who wasn’t ashamed to admit to being a fellow Mets fan. Rob sent me a box of Mets cards [...]
As I’m sure everyone knows by now, Mark from Stats on the Back became a proud papa recently. Being the good father that he is, he’s trying to finish up the 2010 Topps set so that his boy Parker can have his own birth year set. I was able to help them out with a [...]
Well, it’s finally here. Spring Training Day. I’m not sure what I’m doing at work. I thought this was a paid holiday. Regardless, I’m excited. I love this time of year. Especially over the course of the last three seasons, with the way they ended for my Mets, I love when spring training starts. New [...]
