The Day After the Phils and Game 1 in the Bronx

The Phillies Games Let's say this about our Mets, they hung in there with the Phillies. Indeed, they led in all 3 games. They lost the last two in extra innings because of lack of timely hitting and a slight bullpen let down. Their offense just doesn't jell together, mainly because they don't have a thumper. The Phils have several thumpers. Omar, do something!

The Series for NY (Part 1) Now the Mets find themselves in the New Yankee Stadium, which is next door to the refurbished Yankee Stadium, which is built out of the first Yankee Stadium. You know, the one that Ruth built in 1923. This new one encourages balls to go over the fence. It seems like their is some sort of Ruthian magnet pulling the ball over the fence. And the Yanks have thumpers. The Mets don't. (Hmmm, that sounds familiar. See above, The Phillies Games.) Well, in any case, we know that New York will win this series.

Go Mets!
