• Is Josh Reddick a fit for the Mets?

  As we’ve reached the All-Star break, the Mets sit at 47-42–two games back of the Nationals for first place in the NL East and one game back of the Cubs for the second Wild Card spot. It’s rather incredible to think about where the Mets are right now in the standings considering what’s gone on…

• Like it or not, the Mets have to live with Daniel Murphy’s mistakes

  In Thursday’s loss to the Cubs, we saw another pair of mistakes from Mets–now third baseman–Daniel Murphy.
