mikemike, go back to your Mets site, as I still want to know where you get this info that you posted:

I was thinking as sellers we should wait to get more for lidge, madson, ibanez, and werth, if we sell at the deadline we can get a lot more. A lot of phillies fans were selling there tickets last night, so I am not the only one who knows we are out of it and now must build for the future.

I was unclear, I said watch the Pirates and I meant to add and Joey Votto of the REDS is a tough character. I know Votto is a Red not a Pirate.

Keeg – as dumb as this is going to sound, if thy do not take the Pirates seriously they can beat you. I have no doubt we could sweep the Reds and Pirates, but we have to watch Joey Votto. That kid is a great kid, and really is a good player. He had some issues, that were beyond his control, but doesn’t let it affect his game. Keep him in check and we’ll be OK.

of course i’ve just realized we’d need to win the rest of the homestand to do so.

so lets do it!

what’s funny is i called a ten game win streak going into the all star break with the win yesterday, and today’s win kinda convinced me even more that it can happen.

can we at least get over .500 at the Bank before the ASG? that would be nice too.

Nice game… Where are the Mets fans who’d say they’d sweep?

I think this Mets team has proved they can score runs even with the AAA lineup based on what they’ve done vs other teams score wise. Our pitchers just shut em down in beautiful fashion.

Good win today. Was very heartened by the starting pitching all weekend. Lest we not forget though that the Mets lineup is terrible. Lidge looks good. JRo looks good. I think the Phils might be about to embark on a hot streak.

Personally, I would have given it to Blanton but I have no problems with JRoll getting it instead.

JRoll gets the Ashburn. Makes sense: His leadoff HR off the Mets’ ace set the tone for the entire game.

I told you so, phillies hitters and pitchers was alll in slump early this week and they will fire up when they play against mets

The Phils are 3 losses ahead of the Marlins, 4 ahead of the Braves, and 5 losses ahead of the Mets. Thats huge, it’s easy to make up wins, hard to make up those losses.

As Happy Gilmore once said, “somebody learned how to playyyy.”

I feek as if thats what the whole team said after this series.

This is a crazy season in the division so far. Braves sweep us and now are about to lose 2 of 3 to the Nats. We get swepted in the road, where we have been good, and then sweep at home, where we have sucked. Not only that but the Marlins are in second only one game behind us.

Those are the kinds of facts that cause your brain to melt down if you think about them too much.

There’s no doubt Lidge’s knee was the reason for his struggles this year, he wasn’t allowed sufficient time to get his body right and in-sync. Given the right time to rehab there’s no doubt how good his stuff is.

I can’t wait for Ibanez to get back, Blanton and Happ have been pitching really good and Moyer will have his rough times but 1 out of 3 is always a great outing from him and now you add Lidge with his stuff back and no pain, We will definitely be defending our trophy
