The Phillies finished off their three-game sweep of the Mets on Sunday, with a 2-0 victory. Perhaps it was poor play by the Mets, winners of two of their last ten, that keyed the Phils' sweep. Maybe the Phillies are back to their World Championship form. The truth is, probably, somewhere in between that the WFCs are going to play .800 ball the rest of the way, and win the NL East...

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,...

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...

Here's what happened in baseball last night when it was time to sacrifice:
Phillies 2, Mets 0: A month ago, if I had told you that Joe Blanton would outduel Johan Santana in a low-scoring summertime affair at Citizens Bank Pank, you'd have been in your rights to punch me square in the face and spit on my lifeless body sprawled out on the ground. Because making crazy predictions...
