Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
All Philadelphia had to do was finish the scoring chances they put up against Mike Pelfrey. Instead, they waited for the Mets to pull their starter to get the ball rolling.

Lately, when the Phillies got a rally going in the late innings, a come-from-behind win seems to be in works. But the Mets shaky bull pen held on as they beat the Phils 4-3 Saturday afternoon. Mike Pelfrey was great until the eighth inning. He lasted 7 1/3 until he allowed two in the eighth. … Continue reading Comeback Falls Short

They were shut out for a third straight time and the fourth in five days as they lost to the Mets, 3-0, to finalize a rare series shut-out.

He sure pitched like he had a little something special for the Mets as he pitched his second shut out and third complete game of the season in the Phillies 10-0 win over New York Saturday afternoon. The win snapped the Mets’ eight-game winning streak … Continue reading Hey Mets, That’s A Real Pitcher On the Mound
