What better, easier way to recap the first half of the Mets’ season than to link to a bunch of stuff I’ve already written about the first half of the Mets’ season? And yeah, maybe you’ve already read some of this stuff, but maybe you’re new to this site. Or maybe you’re really bored and want to look back on what has been an interesting 91-game span of baseball and baseball-related stuff via this silly filter.

In any case, I’ve got a meeting and a bunch of stuff to attend to about the office, so here’s a trip down recent memory lane. I picked the posts based partly on popularity, partly on relevance, and partly on what would make me look smart now:
