The New York Mets (8-6) and rival Philadelphia Phillies (8-8) will
square off in a much anticipated battle tonight at Citizens Bank Park
at 7:05pm. Cole Hamels (2-1 0.82) will oppose off season acquisition
Johan Santana (1-2 3.05).
The Mets won a dramatic game in the 14th inning last night against the
Washington Nationals on a wild pitch. They look to come into
Philadelphia and take at least 2 out of 3 against the hated
Philadelphia Phillies.

After a long off season for New York Met fans, we finally get a
crack at the team we gave a gift to last season…the
Philadelphia Phillies. Christmas won’t come early again this
year Philly fans. The New York Mets will set out on Tuesday
afternoon to make things right!
I am well aware, painfully well aware, that the Mets blew a 7 game
lead with only 17 left to play in the 2007 regular season.
I am also well aware that the Philadelphia Phillies played very well down the stretch run last September .
However, write it down, starting tomorrow, April 8th, 2008,
the New York Mets will defeat the Philadelphia Phillies. This
will mark the beginning of Willie Randolph and his players paying back
the Shea Stadium faithful for the nightmare that was last season.
I for one cannot wait to resume the Turnpike series….lets go Mets!
(The starting pitchers will be Oliver Perez vs some very old dude for Philly).
