Found August 27, 2008 on Dom D's Mets Fan Blog:
If you want to get sick, take a look at the Mets vs the Phillies in 2008. Even though the Mets own a 9-5 record against them they still manage to do some damage against us. I highlighted the players who have ERA over 4.00 against the Phillies and guess what?, It's most of our bullpen.....

Will The Phillies Resign Burrell?

Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell is having a pretty solid year, hitting .261 with 30 HR, but that doesn't mean the Phillies will throw a big contract at him. They have opened their wallets for several players already, and Burrell, 32, isn't in the Phillies long term plans. While the Phillies have talked with Burell, I doubt they are willing to give him the same deal he signed with...

Delgado is the new "Batman"

Everyone wrote off Carlos Delgado including me. But now his has become a everyday super hero and has given the Mets that power they needed. Just take a look at his numbers through the months: G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS March 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 .000 .250 .000 .250 April 25 93 13 19 3 0 3 12 12 20 0 0 .204 .299 .333 .632 May...

Mets Stat: Delgado Multi Homers

DELGADO: 11 TIMES 30, JOINS 12 OTHERS For the second time in three days, Carlos Delgado belted a pair of home runs in a Mets victory, and his second homer on Wednesday at Philadelphia tied the score in the eighth inning. That was his 30th home run this season, and he became only the 13th player in major-league history to reach the 30 marked in as many as 11 seasons. Hank Aaron...

Mets Lineup vs Phillies Tonight!

Roster moves: Cancel, Reyes 2 & 3, Figgy, Rincon....

The Mets placed Ramon Castro on the 15 day DL with a right Quad strain and recalled Robinson Cancel. I know Castro is a rare power threat catcher but he just proves every season he can't stay healthy and the Mets should really consider whether they should re-sign him. Cancel hit .233 in 30 ABs as the third catcher, he can also play 1B and LF if necessary for a big man he is actually...

"Front-Runners"

I know I'm a little late in responding to Jimmy Rollins' statements, but I was too wrapped up in the Olympics to notice at the time. For those of you that don't know, Rollins went on "The Best Damn Sports Show" and claimed that Philly fans are "front-runners." Jimmy, I love ya, but that was a dumb-ass thing to say. I get what you were TRYING...

Kevin Duckworth dies at 44; did the Mitchell Report provide forewarning?

With the news that Kevin Duckworth has passed away at the young age of 44, I happened to think of when his name found its way into the Mitchell Report. There was a cashed check that Duckworth made out to former New York Mets clubhouse guy Kirk Radomski, but Duckworth himself was never implicated...probably because he was a former NBA player and had nothing to do with baseball. From...

Gamenight: Mets (73-59) At Phillies (72-59)

Headline: Prize fight in the NL East The Major Players: Jamie Moyer, Pedro Martinez, Jimmy Rollins, Jose Reyes The Venue: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia The Number: 0.5 games back (Mets) First place in the National League East is up for grabs tonight as the Phils and Mets meet in the first of a short two-game swing.

My Apologies

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated… Thanks to a day job that has suddenly doubled as a night job, and a list of "ASAP" responsibilities longer than my credit report, the Amazins have been forced to the back seat for the time being. And to both of my loyal readers, I apologize. I'll be [...]

Will The Mets Put Jon Niese In A Position To Succeed?

One of the ways to judge the effectiveness of a manager is to see if he puts his players in a position to succeed. Reliever Scott Schoeneweis is murder against lefty batters but can't get out righty batters. A good manager would put Schoeneweis in the game against a lefty batter that his manager won't pitch hit for in a crucial situation.

Welcome Back, Carl; Now Pack Your Crap

Just a week after returning from the 3 year DL, Carl Pavano has been placed on waivers. Do I need to even ask Yankees fans if they'd be happy to be rid of him?

Thursday: Delgado sinks Phillies, Mets back in front

Carlos Delgado went 3-for-4 with two home runs including a game-tying solo shot, setting the table for a four-run eighth inning in the Mets 6-3 win at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies finish their homestand 7-2. Circumstances were a little different in last night's contest because of the depleted bullpens, but make it two straight Phillies losses that occurred in the eighth inning...

Manuel, Mets exercise 'the demons'

In Jerry Manuel's brief two-month tenure as Mets manager, he lost his closer (Billy Wagner), two starters (John Maine), second baseman (Luis Castillo) and a pinch hitter/utility man (Marlon Anderson). He also adopted a (un)healthy list of injured troops including Ryan Church, Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou, Angel Pagan, Orlando Hernandez and Matt Wise.

Good signs heading into the Mets series

Random niceness from last night's sweep-capping win over the Dodgers.

ABH - Anybody But Hamels

I think I'm taking the 2008 Cubs for granted. I headed to my car for my commute home last night just as the Phillies were scoring three runs in the sixth. And even with Cole Hamels carving up the lineup, I never thought we were out of it. I tuned into XM radio by that point and it had Pat and Ron going and Pat was carrying on that the Phils bullpen has been worked hard lately...
