Well, the Mets held up their end of the bargain today, crushing the Marlins 13-0 in a brawl-filled game at Shea. (John Maine pitched great, if you didn't see it). So, there won't be any champagne flowing in the Phillies' clubhouse tonight.In fact, the pressure is now squarely on the Phillies to win today, and thanks to another first-inning run allowed by Adam Eaton, they're trailing 1-0.
One quick aside before I get back to the game: Was driving home last night, listening to WFAN, when I heard the only quote from a Mets player or coach that has made sense to me over the past two weeks. I'm paraphrasing here, but David Wright remarked that the Phillies are in first place now, which means they'll have to cope with being chased. That's a new position for the Phillies, who are so familiar with doing the chasing.
How will they handle being the prey rather than the predator?
