Back to Back! Damn it feels good! Especially since the Mutts are OUT! These guys deserve as well as the Phans! I love the fact that we’re practically getting no press about our winning the division. I kinda like that we’re being played as some kind of underdog. I’m hopeful we’re going to do well this time around. Reminds me of the 1980 team when everyone thought the ‘Stros would beat us.

Does anyone have any decently large sized pictures to use as a computer background – either from the actual game or, better yet, the celebration on field or in the locker room? If you come across one, post it in this comment thread!!!

Congrats to all. I was there as well and it was truly a special night. I will never forget it.

I was there and im still elated from the experience! I was at Game 5 in 1997 when the Flyers beat the Rangers for the Eastern Conference Finals. This was every bit as amazing.

I would like to see Golson on the post season roster to have an extra righty and his speed to produce runs but i know hes too untested and they wont do it.

Well said SJ Mike. Couldn’t have said it better myself. You know what though? We don’t have to explain ourselves…We won the division. The Mets fans can cry all they want! Right now at this point of the season it’s about us facing our next opponent . We’ll worry about spanking the Mets when, and ”if” we face them again, and finally put an end to all this ”who’s better” sh*t. They just need to get off our di*ks, and concentrate on todays game, and tomorrows game if there is one. There just jealous, thats all.

Way to get that Ashburn award up and running.

RiVLez, that’s why when the Mets were up 3 games, a 3 game loss in the standings is hardly a collapse, especially with over a month left to play.

Tim said in some earlier post that the argument that the Phils needed the Mets to collapse to win anything, he said something to the tune of “It takes two to tango.” Someone has got to win it and someone has got to lose it.

I think we all universally said at the beginning of this season with the acquisition of Santana for the Mets and Lidge for the Phils that would be a dogfight and come down all the way to the end. Nobody was running away with the division this year and that has shown.

I just get sick of the “you guys don’t deserve the division” talk. The person who ends up winning it deserves it because they obviously won the right number of games to get to that point.

Rivlez, I’ve been saying that for awhile.The Mets just aren’t as good as the Phils in my honest opinion. They didn’t collapse to lose the divison, we won it.

Rivlez,
Last year has nothing to do with this year. That’s behind us. Our bullpen stunk it up last year. This year is a whole diffrent ballgame (literally). Let me give you a clear example…The 2008 Mets team is equivalent to the 2007 Phillies…Awesome offense, but horrible bullpen.

SJ Mike thanks for posting…Hopefully Mets fans will stop their bitching, and come to grip with reality.

That is why I don’t even call this a collapse, IMO if the Phils didn’t win it would’ve been a collapse. You guys were 7 1/2 ahead.

I saw this posted somewhere and thought it’d be interesting to share.

These are the days in first place by team. For those who say the Phils don’t deserve it, they’ve had first for nearly half the season and double that of any of the other teams. That to me constitutes “deserving the division.”

Phils: 79
Marlins: 42
Mets: 39
Nationals or Braves: 2

AC in NJ I’m right here. Did you think I was going to go away?!? Congrats to the Phils for a ridiculously good September again. Lets see how they will do in the playoffs this year.

Dude, I don’t know…At this point, I don’t think ”Nothing” scares the Phils. If anything ”We” scare the whole National leauge. I hope I’m right, but I don’t think nothing is going to get in our way right now…Not Sabathia, Not Manny, Not the Mets. This is the first time since 93′ we had over 90 wins, and look what happened that year.
