2007 New York Mets News
September 30, 2007: The NYMets set a new record. They are now the first team with a lead of at least seven games, with 17 games left to play, not to finish in first place for their division. Furthermore, the NYMets are now tied with the 1934 New York Giants and the 1938 Pittsburgh Pirates for the largest September lead blown. Despite leading the Eastern Division for most of the season and spending around half of the season leading the entire National League, the NYMets mangaed a total September meltdown! The season is over for the NYMets for this year.
August 5, 2007: When the NYMets move to their new ball park in 2009, the NYMets plan on replacing the old 582-pound plaster apple that pops up every time the NYMets hit a home run. However, there are a number of fans that want to save the old apple and have it installed in the new ball park. There is even a NYMets fan website that has been started with a petition to save the apple. If you believe the NYMets should keep the old apple, you can sign the petition at SaveTheApple.com.
August 5, 2007: The NYMets have come back to lead the National League over the last two weeks. However, they are only two games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks, so the NYMets' lead is not that strong (yet).
June 24, 2007: NYMets catcher Paul Lo Duca was ejected from Saturday night's game (June 23rd) against Oakland during the 6th inning when he got in an argument with the umpire over a strike that was called against him. In a rage, he started tossing equipment all over the field. You can view at least part of his outburst here. The NYMets won the game 1-0.
June 24, 2007: Over the last few weeks, the NYMets have blown the clear lead they had in the National League. The NYMets have now slid to 4th place with Milwaukee in the lead. On the bright side, the NYMets still lead in the Eastern Division and are only about 4 games behind Milwaukee. The NYMets can still win the season if they just get their act back together.
May 20, 2007: It is still early in the season, but the NYMets have taken a clear lead in the National League Statndings. The NYMets have won 66.7% of their games, while the closest team to them is Milwaukee with 60.5% of their games won.
May 6, 2007: NYMets pitchers Hernandez, Martinez, Padilla, Sanchez and Williams are all currently on the disabled list. Infielder Jose Valentin is also on the list. Let's hope the NYMets can go a while without any more injuries.
April 2, 2007: The NYMets won the first game of the 2007 season by whipping last year's World Series Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1, on April 1st.
February 1, 2007: The NYMets will start arriving at their Spring Training camp in Port St. Lucie, FL on Feb. 16. The NYMets first Spring Training game will be against the Detroit Tigers on Feb. 28. The NYMets first official game of the season will be on April 1st (Sunday) in St. Loius against the Cardinals.
