playing philadelphia (+117)

the better pitcher is catching a near 6/5 return. ill take my chances. its probably a little early too start talking about a regression to the mean but its fairly applicable here; the phillies are certainly not as bad as theyve played so far and im not convinced the mets are going to be a buzzsaw in the national league either. the phillies are going to hit the ball at some point. and the mets pitching staff is going to get hit (and hard) at some point too. the fact that hamels doesnt walk a lot of hitters is a bonus as well. he isnt likely to unnecessarily load up the bases with metropolitans to make things more difficult on himself today. and it certainly doesnt hurt that the one time the mets saw him last year, he was dominant (9 strikeouts, 0 walks).

i feel for charlie manuel a little because hes a genuinely good guy. and he knows baseball and knows hitting. he made thome into the player he is today. but hes just not the kind of manager to get this team over the hump (or to the playoffs period). obviously the players are ultimately responsible for producing numbers and wins. but i cant see charlie lasting.

guys....relax it's early in the season. Once Howard starts hitting everything will be fine. With Rollins and Utley at the top of the lineup they are going to score some runs...

i dont think the offense is that big of a concern. Their relief pitching is atrocious

grounds into a bases loaded double play earlier.
now his error allows the tying run to score late.
