METS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Matt Harvey loses no-hitter on infield single
At least the New York Mets never fail to entertain. Mets starter Matt Harvey had a no-hitter going through the 6th, but in the 7th inning with no outs, Harvey needed a bit of help from his teammates, which he didn’t get. After Harvey fielded Jason Heyword’s slow roller, he flicked the ball to…..no one, as Lucas Duda, who is making his second start of the season at 1B, failed...
MLB Young Guns: Zack Wheeler Scouting Report
The Mets plan to temporarily demote Zack Wheeler to the minors after tonight’s start, then officially re-promote him Tuesday for his next scheduled start at the Chicago White Sox, according to ESPN New York.
Because Wheeler is technically the Mets’ 26th player for today’s doubleheader, they can demote him after today’s game without the requirement he spend 10 days in the...
Harvey And Wheeler Give Mets Glimpse Of Future
There might be some question if Zack Wheeler is ready to assume the role of savior for the New York Mets, despite his and manager Terry Collins’ proclamations to the contrary of those lofty expectations.
With the statistical and financial numbers having been crunched, the decision is it is time to start the clock on Wheeler. The Mets don’t know who’ll be dropped from the rotation...

Lucas Duda At First For Mets; Jordany Valdespin Goes To Bench
So much for the Jordany Valdespin experiment at second base until Ike Davis returns, but the premise of what I wrote earlier remains the same: the New York Mets don’t have an idea of what to do with the mercurial role player.
Terry Collins said he would give Valdespin a week at second base leading off. Valdespin responded by hitting .130 (3-for-23) in that span, and one week later...
Mets News: Fred Wilpon on Mets Losing, "I suffer with it"
Fred Wilpon, speaking with Newsday on Monday, said he is confident in Sandy Alderson's plan for the Mets. The 76-year-old principal owner added that things should improve as big salary outlays come off the books.
"We're coming to the end of the time when we have had an overhang of players who got hurt or didn't play well, and I think that Sandy Alderson and his...
Top prospect Zack Wheeler ready for NY Mets debut
Zack Wheeler is excited about his big league debut with the New York Mets, especially since he'll be pitching not far from where he grew up.
Wheeler is a native of suburban Atlanta and will have plenty of family and friends in the stands at Turner Field on Tuesday night, when he pitches the second game of a doubleheader against the Braves.
The 23-year-old right-hander is one...

2013 has been a step in the right direction for the Mets
If you are a listener of sports talk radio, it has been impossible over the past week to listen and not hear some host and/or caller mock Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson for telling fans to be patient.
The formula is simple; cite some play or statistic that shows how dreadful the Mets have been this season, then say, “but Sandy Alderson says they’re almost there,” followed...
Parnell Is Going Nowhere And I’d Bet Murphy Is Safe Too
Andy Martino of the Daily News is reporting that a source told him the Mets do not intend to trade Bobby Parnell as the trade deadline approaches and consider him to be a “valuable” piece for the team.
Martino says this supports Alderson’s claim that he could be a buyer at the trade deadline and not a seller which many expected to be the case.
The GM’s decision not to shop...
Is Kirk Nieuwenhuis “Fixed” With Game Winning Walk-Off Homerun?
TweetMets fans don’t have too much to get excited about lately, so when something good happens, ya gotta relish in it and enjoy the moment. Yesterday’s 4-3 comeback walkoff win over the Cubs was such an occasion. But let’s not get too crazy here.
Optimistic Mets fans (and delusional ones at that) are pointing to Kirk Nieuwenhuis’ 3 run, game winning dinger as a sign that...
David Wright is not the biggest All-Star snub
The New York Mets can complain all they want. David Wright is not the biggest snub on the MLB All-Star ballot.
Despite hitting .288 with an on-base percentage of .379, Wright is trailing San Francisco Giant Pablo Sandoval in All-Star voting.
Wright’s current designation as a back-up on the All-Star roster has led to the Mets to consider drastic measures to reel in votes.

WHAT ABOUT BOB?
Costas rips Mets for celebrating during report
Back in December of 2012, Bob Costas decided to push his anti-gun agenda during halftime of Eagles / Cowboys. Yesterday, during an update during the US Open, bothered Bob decided to push his... Full story at Bob's Blitz ~ http://www.bobsblitz.com
Has 2013 been a step back for the Mets' young core?
Before the 2013 season started, most Mets fans were quite aware that the team would not be competitive. Many were perfectly willing to take another year of losing baseball if it meant that the team was moving toward eventual perennial competitiveness. What’s another losing season if it meant that the team’s top prospects were inching closer to making their debut, the young core...
Mets Rumors: Mets GM Alderson says Marlins OF Giancarlo Stanton has never been available in trade
Mets Rumors:
The Mets held a question-and-answer session with 350 season ticket-holders Saturday morning at Citi Field, and general manager Sandy Alderson said the team will be capable of adding substantial pieces soon, and the need for patience is almost over.
“I believe in the next six months or so, we’ll be in position to make some significant acquisitions, either by free...
Jordany Valdespin’s Days As A Met Are Numbered
Please, join me as I throw a handful of dirt on the coffin of Jordany Valdespin’s career as a New York Met.
The one I used to call El Dramático for his ability to spark rallies and hit long home runs is getting playing time for one reason: he’s being shopped. Don’t expect him to be with the Mets past the trade deadline.
I’ve been a staunch defender of Valdespin since the...
