Sept. 7 -- GAME 1 UPDATE: DOBBS DELIVERS

BY SCOTT LAUBER

NEW YORK -- For those of you who are too busy watching the Eagles or enjoying the weather ...


Greg Dobbs just swatted a three-run home run to give the Phillies 6-0 lead against Pedro Martinez and the Mets in the fourth inning here at Shea. It's the second homer in as many games for Dobbs, who is shaping up to be a Mets killer. Check out Dobbs' up-to-the-minute career numbers against them:

29 games, 51 at-bats,14 hits, 4 homers, 15 RBIs

To me, Dobbs' pinch-hit grand slam last Sept. 16 at Shea stands out as one of the biggest hits for the Phillies down the stretch.

FYI: Before the game, assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said right fielder Geoff Jenkins (strained right hip flexor) will begin taking batting practice tomorrow at the Bank and could return within the next week or so.
