Over the first few innings, it seemed like the Mets would have a chance to break their losing streak, but the late innings proved to be their undoing and they fell to Washington 10-1. Chris Schwinden pitched five effective innings allowing only two runs (one earned). The Mets cut the deficit to 2-1 when Jason Bay doubled in David Wright, but the bullpen caved in from there. New York surrendered a single run in the 7th, three in the 8th and four in the 9th and the losing streak now stands at six. more ›

After a year that included a new stadium where no one could hit home runs, and freak injuries to half the team, and then a postseason featuring two of their most hated rivals duking it out in the World Series, some good news just had to eventually make its way to the brightly lit pavilions of lonely Citi Field. more ›

Like a monster awaking from slumber, the Mets finally threw their hats into the free agency market yesterday, offering contracts to OF Jason Bay and C Bengie Molina.

-Pirates 11 Mets 1: This one was just embarrassing. Sure, the Mets were forced to start John Maine because Pedro’s hip is bothering him (uh-oh), but Pittsburgh is the worst team in the National League and New York is the best. On Monday it looked like the roles had been reversed as every Pirate position player had a hit and Jason Bay drove in three runs. more ›

In a stunner, the United States actually lost a game in pool play during the World Baseball Classic. Yesterday, they lost to their friendly neighbors to the north, 8-6. If you're thinking to yourselves, "Canada? Who the hell do they have?" Gothamist can say that we're right there with you. The "big" names on Team Canada include: Erik Bedard, Paul Quantrill, Chris Reitsma, Corey Koskie, Jason Bay, and Matt Stairs.

But with the WBC essentially an extremely competitive Spring Training, anything can happen. more ›
