Another game given away....ho hum.....

Pathetic!!

When will TC get the hot seat treatment??

This team is sadly in desperate need of a new manager....and long overdue imho.

Howard, Franco lead Phillies to 4-2 win over Mets

Logan Verrett credible in Matt Harvey's slot, but Mets fall to Phillies

Jacob deGrominant tosses a 1 CG 1 hitter in Philly...

•DeGrom tosses 1-hitter, Mets beat Phillies 5-0

•Jacob deGrom tosses first career complete game as Mets blank Phillies




Yoenis Cespedes prefers sticking to left field for remainder of season


About Friggin Time:
(don't get me wrong..I like Nimmo, and he's a good player..but Conforto is the better option right now)
Mets recall outfielder Conforto, demote Nimmo
