Heres' a double dip of Phillies and Mets talk for you on this Monday, but the Mets bloggers are slackers, so as usual I will be bringing all the fun straight to your brains.

Philadelphia: Last night, the Phillies dropped their third of four last night in a shutout loss at the hands of a divisional opponent, Marlins.  However, this is as much of a moral victory as you can find this early in the season because Cole Hamels was stellar.  Eight strikeouts in eight innings and only two earned is great work from Cole and something we need a lot more of.  So if the offense falls asleep and gives him a loss for this effort, shucks.  He's was crap in his first two starts and got wins in both.  Funny game this baseball is.

New York: Ike Davis is getting the start tonight!  Woo Hoo!  I think?  That's the reaction right?  That Ike Davis is a minor league monster and coming to light the world on fire in Flushing?  Well most likely not, but regardless Ike projects as a solid pro and good overall player in years to come.  If the Mets can get that from one of their better prospects, they've got to be happy.  Things haven't been going well in New York the past few years, hopefully for Mets fans Ike can start to move things in the other direction with a strong freshman campaign.  It starts tonight against Randy Wells and the Cubbies.
