Going into this series against the Mets, I had zero confidence that anything good would come of it. Having taken the first two games rather a-matter-of-factly the Phils are in a position to perform the coveted 3-game sweep. One obstacle- Darth Santana. I don't hate Johan, I fear Johan. The Phillies have never beaten him, lifetime- 4 wins in 8 starts, 55 ip, 49 k's, 2.95 ERA,...

Because making crazy predictions...

Take a look. Take a good look. This is who you lost to.A light socket.So let's review, the Mets lost this weekend to a pitcher who hadn't been in the majors since 2007, a 46-year-old man, and a man who once dressed as a light socket. And not just lost to them, got taken to school by them.Forty years ago, the Mets beat the likes of Dave McNally, Jim Palmer, and Mike Cuellar in the...

Behind Jamie Moyer, the Phillies guaranteed their first non-Nationals home series win yesterday with a 4-1 victory. Today, they go for the sweep of Johan Santana and the Mets. First pitch is 1:05. The Phillies hope yesterday’s game is a sign of things to come for three players in particular. Moyer, who has been locating his pitches better than in the first two months, collected...
