It’s that time of year again, Phillies vs. Mets!

Phillies vs. Mets, Hell ye… well, I guess this is fun, right?  The Phillies are playing great baseball, but the Mets suck.  Starting tomorrow the Phillies play 4 games at Citi Field against the hapless Metro’s.  Cool.

How sad is it that it’s late August and Phillies/Mets really is inconsequential.  Really didn’t see this one coming when Matt and I started this blog.  We always knew that the Phillies and Mets wouldn’t be a fight for the division title every season, but we assumed that it would happen during this season at the least.  The Baseball Gods had other plans though and physically ravaged the fragile Mets all season.

A 4-game sweep really wouldn’t be all that crazy in this one.  I’m not even gonna think about predicting it because I’m usually 100% wrong anytime I predict anything.  However, with the way these teams are it’s absolutely possible.  Another fun part of Phillies @ Mets is the talk about the Phillies guys bashing home runs at Citi while the Mets guys (or maybe just David Wright) can’t or don’t.

You know what, what am I saying?  It’s Phillies vs. Mets so I’m excited.  I don’t care what the records are, the series is always fun to watch.  The Mets have got a lot to play for, they’re only 13 games up over the Nats!  It’s crunch-time!
