Catch up time – Phillies vs Mets

Ok so I will give the complete rundown here in 1 post.  WE OWNED THE METS and SWEPT THEM!  – the end.

Kidding, well kidding about the “the end” part.  We did indeed sweep those Mets.  Although I have a quick tiff, did they think they were cool coming into our city and our park wearing a RED HAT?

Game 1:  Rodrigo Lopez stepped on the mound for the first time in over 2 years in a MLB game.  Lopez took a three-hitter into the seventh inning, helping the Philadelphia Phillies snap a six-game home losing streak with a 7-2 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night.

“I’m pretty happy, pretty excited,” Lopez said. “Being out for two years, it was a long way to go, a long battle. I didn’t know it would take this long.”

Can’t really complain here pitching went well and Phillies start the series off 1-0 with a 7-2 win.

Game 2:  Moyer (7-6) allowed one run and five hits in 6 1-3 innings to win his third straight start. The 46-year-old Moyer tied Carl Hubbell for 42nd on the all-time list with his 253rd career win.  While the Phillies trotted off to yet another win against the Rival Mets with a score 4-1 and going up in this three game series 2-0

Game 3:  Fans were screaming out for the BROOMS!  And sure enough there was a great sale on brooms.  While Blanton MAN HANDLED the whole Mets struggling roster and Santana held his own against the Phillies.  Rollins cracked a homer to start the game off followed but a Utley homer later in the game.  Phillies hold on for the sweep with a 2-0 win.

Great series here lets see what we do against the Reds, that update coming soon!
