Official New York Mets vs. Phillidalphia Phillies game thread.

WIll this game be on t.v.?

Johan Santana vs. Cole Hamels will be a very intriguing matchup. 7:30 p.m.  Est.  See you then.

It is on SNY here in NY. It is a great night to watch sports here in NY. you have this match up which is going to be a great one. You also have the Rangers in NJ trying to clinch their first round series vs the Devils.

Man, thank god i got HD Picture in Picture on my plasma.

Oh, and doc, we have avatar bets going with some philly fans, you want in?

If the Mets lose the series, you have to sporta  pro-Phillies avatar for one week from the conclusion of the series.

I'm in on the bet.

Boricuaaaaaaaaaa!

I mean, uh...

Let's go Mets!

You're probably right about Johan Santana not having to worry about the Phillies.  It's the Mets bullpen that has to worry.  Still, after the shlacking the Phillies gave the Astros yesterday, the offense just might be starting to get in sync.  Now they're going to be playing the Mets, at home, and they're ace pitcher is on the mound.  Really, neither starting pitcher should have a problem tonight.  It's gonna be really good weather, perfect for baseball, and Hamels has been on fire since his first day.  ERA of 0.82....let's see if the Mets can do damage to it or not.

Anyways, I see the losing pitcher tonight coming from one of the bullpens.  Being a Phillies fan, I can point out the slight edge Phillies have.  The offense, and Pat Burrell is the obvious.  Pitching matchup is pretty much dead even.  It's the bullpens, and right now the Phillies bullpen has been doing a better job then the Mets.  Lidge is really showing what he can do and ever since he came back from the DL, has not had a loss yet and has 2 saves (i don't know how many oppurtunities yet, I think it's 3). 

Should be a great game.

LETS GO PHILLIES!!!  THE CITY IS HIGH FROM THE FLYERS, KEEP IT GOING!!!
