The preeminent blog for all things sports, literally every waking second of our lives!
See here, here, here, here, here, and here. I only ask you to do so because I have never truly derived joy out of this fandom, and when that precious day comes, I want to stand as the martyr who survived 7 games with 17 to play in his first full season watching the team. … Continue reading You Can All Hop On The Mets Bandwagon, As Long As You Acknowledge: I Was The First One On
It's called "Offense Per Game," or OPG (yeah, you know me). It carries a .4675 r-squared when compared to team wOBA, and a .384 r-squared when compared to team runs per game. Using pitches seen per game, it is an estimate of an offensive player's contribution to his team's cause. It measures a hitter's ability … Continue reading I Invented A New Stat!
MetsI don't think there's a more frustrating team in all of sports than the New York Mets. I'm so sick of them. I don't know if they're bad or good. You don't know if they're bad or good, and if you say you do, you're lying. I have a hunch they're going to make the … Continue reading One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them, Vol. II
That title pained me to write. But, at the end of the day, the current core of Mets is so polluted by the misdoings of administrations past that it's time to say goodbye, specifically, to Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso. Others will go as well. But it's those two that will sting the most. Jeff … Continue reading It’s Time For The Mets To Blow It Up
As we are now a little less than two months away from the Midsummer Classic, I thought this would be a good time to look at some of the faces we might see in Texas. Just a quick note that this is a bit of a mixture of measuring what these players have already done … Continue reading MLB All Star Game Predictions
“It was so easy to be wise in the explanation of an experience one has not personally witnessed.” I’m finally out in the country, away from the incessant hustle and bustle of Flatbush Avenue. No honking, no revving, no boosted-bass-blasting, no alarms, no sirens – peace, silence, the bliss of obscurity… Sitting on the back … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume II
I know the golf world wants to declare Scottie Scheffler the "next Tiger Woods." Golf, naturally, is always looking for the "next Tiger Woods," which will never come, because there never will be another Tiger Woods, but that's neither here nor there. Part of the problem is that when Tiger Woods was arrested, the reaction … Continue reading Scottie Scheffler Is a Punk
Oh, man. Oh, boy, oh, boy. I can't believe it. The Mets might be good. That's the kinda game good teams win. Facing a good team with a depleted bullpen, they took advantage of the fact that Raisel Iglesias wasn't available to pull off a thrilling comeback win over a hated division rival. They didn't … Continue reading Here Come the New York Mets
Mets:It hasn't been all good for the Mets, but it certainly hasn't been all bad, either. They're a game over .500, which is fine in its own right, but it's the means by which they have arrived at that point that has been so interesting: they have looked like a coherent baseball team, which could … Continue reading One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them
I'm gonna do something I haven't done in years — write my feelings. The New York Mets are good. The New York Mets have life. The New York Mets might be better than the Atlanta Braves. The New York Mets should be getting some sort of pitching reinforcements, in the forms of Kodai Senga and … Continue reading The Mets Are Back At .500!
