Not the Mets!
I knew they weren’t gonna go 162-0, but did the Phillies’ first loss really have to come against the hated Mets? Is there any more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Metsville? (5 points if you name the movie quote!) The Phils just didn’t have it tonight. Cole Hamels got shellacked for 6 runs in 2.2 innings. The offense had plenty of chances to score and get back in the game, but Mets pitcher Chris Young pitched out of jam after jam. Junk ballers seem to give this team trouble, although they still looked better than they did last year when the bats went into comas from time to time. Tomorrow’s another day. Joe Blanton vs. Mike Pelfrey. 7:05 p.m. ET.
