Glavine was selected to the all-star team tonight and Abbott is making his 5th major league start (which I think is always dangerous to the opposition.)

To be honest, this series will probably be split, with the chance that the Phillies will take 3 out of 4. I think the Mets are playing over their heads right now, and the Phillies have more talent. Starting pitching wise, I'd give a slight nod to the Mets. Here are the matchups for the series

1. Glavine vs. Abbott (Glavine, easily)
2. Leiter vs. Wolf (Wolf , slightly)
3. Trachel vs. Myers (Trachel slightly, Myers is way to inconsistant)
4. Ginter Vs. Millwood (Millwood, its a toss up because they are at home).


The Phillies have the better overall bullpen, with Wagner coming out in the 9th and a pretty respectable setup tandum in Cormier and Worrell. Madson is doing great as the long man/7th inning guy. And Hernandez has pitched well his last few outings and can come in the 6th.

Lets go with the Position battles:

C. Philips vs. Lieberthal (Lieberthal, Slightly)
1B. Piazza vs. Thome (Thome, Slightly)
2B. Reyes vs. Palanco/Utley (Palanco, Reyes is hitting terribly)
SS. Rollins vs. Matsui (Rollins has been hot since moving to leadoff)
3B. Wigginton vs. Bell (Toss up)
LF. Floyd vs. Burrell (I'll give the slight edge to Floyd)
CF. Cameron vs. Michaels (Cameron's great with the glove, but his bat is pathetic, I'll go with Michaels)
RF. Hidalgo vs. Abreu (Not even close, Abreu, Even though Hidalgo has been hot since the trade)

Mets have a solid pen, but alot of retreds out that that will eventually catch up to them (Comon, Ricky Bottallaco? Franco?!!?!?).

All in all, the Mets probably throw out the better starting pitching staff, but the Phillies I believe have the better pen along with starting 8.

**looks at name** Wow...surprise surprise


I'll say Phils get 3 out of this. Let us not forget Pat Burrell is the official Met Killer

This is baseball.

Position by position comparations are utterly meaningless.

Mets just swept a team who's years better that the Phillies.
So comparations are off the window.
I'd go right now with momentum.

Mets have it, period.
Still, I think it'll be a split.

Here's for hoping for a 3-1 series win!

GO METSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Re: Mets v. Phils and it actually means something.

I think we can all agree on this, there will be many runs scored this week!! Should be a fun one, I'm not here to talk trash, I just want to see 4 good baseball games against 2 teams fighting for the division.

Re: Mets v. Phils and it actually means something.

Position battles tell you nothing, even though they are wrong. Polanco with his 15 (wow!) RBIs in 200 at bats, cannot dream to see the day he is better then Jose Reyes. No way, Randy Wolf is better then Albert Leiter...look at stats. Leiter has been great since coming off injury. He's gotten no run support, but has an ERA of 2.12. If you want to strictly look at this year, Mets bullpen has outperformed Phillies with Braden Looper being a better closer then Billy Wagner. Obviously Phillies bullpen should be better, but this year they haven't been. I don't care how many homers Thome hits, he isn't more dangerous then Michael Piazza. Anyways, like I said, player versus player doesn't matter. The only thing that does is that the Mets have won 4 out of 5 against Phillies this year, and the city of Philadelphia breeds chokers.
