Mets v. Phils and it actually means something.

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

My initial position by position analysis was simply to point out that the Phillies have a better starting 8 than the Mets do. Here's what I hoped to prove by my message.

The Mets have the better rotation
The Phillies have the better starting 8
The Mets bullpen is currently pitching better, but the Phillies have the better arms out there, so eventually the law of averages will catch up.

All in all, the series will probably end up splitting, with the possibility of the Phillies getting 3 out of 4 because they are at home.

Our bullpen's been struggling because only one of our starters can make it past the 5th inning.

Nice game by the Phils tonight, Mets played them tough though. It was nice to see them jump on Glavine early. If it wasn't for Floyd, it would have been a little easier. Gotta tip your hat to Glavine, at the beginning it looked like he wouldn't have made it out of the 2nd, but ended up giving 7 innings. Good move to save the pen for the rest of the series.

Abbott really hurt us tonight. I still think Powell is the better of the 2 "5th starters" and hopefully he'll get a chance the next time around. Bullpen was outstanding again, I think they are finally rested.
