Philadelphia (34-23) at New York (31-26)

Yeah Howard! I like that "Melts!"

I have a new name for the METS. They should now be called, The Melttroplitons or maybe the Medtroplitons. I am a Phillie fan living in exile in NYC. Thus this is the proper response to my New York Melts fans.

LoStPumpkin.....which war are the Mets winning? Because I'm sure in the grand scheme of things you arent winning anything. In the last two years alone youre team has had the opportunity to win the war as you put it and have continually blown it. You pretty much say that the Phillies only won this series because the Mets are without Reyes and Delgado....ok maybe so, then how do you account for the last two years.

I like to think I have a completely unbiased opinion when it comes to Mets and Phillies being I live near Atlanta and a Braves fan. So really I could care either way who wins these games, but it would be ridiculous to say the Mets have the upper hand right now. The Phillies are still in first place and are world champs, until someone changes that, they are still the team to beat.

Also, you can use the Reyes/Delgado injury card on this. The Phillies could have easily swept the Dodgers in their 4 game series, the same Dodgers with the best record in the NL, the only reason they didnt sweep is because Lidge blew two saves because of an injury. Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda, boo hoo, injuries are part of the game. You know, you always hear stuff about Philadelphia fans being the worst, but if you ever come on any type of forums NY fans are a 100 times worse.

Hey Lostpumpkin - Just curious. How old are you? Based on the fact that your posts follow no logic and have no focus and based on your inability to spell or use proper grammar, I'm guessing you're about 12 or so. Am I correct? Let the grownups talk now. How can you possibly base your argument on the fact that these games are in June, and we need to wait until September for the real games. Do you need a refresher on the Mets great chokes of '07 and '08? The Mets are winning the war? Really? Who is the defending World Series Champions? Who has been winning the games when they really matter recently? That would be the Phillies. You have zero argument. Now go enjoy your summer vacation and leave the sports talk to the adults.

Yo bleufunk2001! That's an awesome icon you got there! You are one who knows, brutha! "funk" on!!

NOTE WELL: If the Mets played the Washington Nationals more ( say 50 games a year) they would be in First Place. They would Win the Division..However, the League would not let O'mar have the schedule he wanted..So I say change the schedule

The Mets are Poons. Phightins!!!!!!!

i applaud the Mets fan who actually have chosen to post here no matter how misguided there opions may be . The facts are the Phils are the World Fn Champions . They have won 7 out of 10 games on the road and could have won all 10 AND THEY ARE NOT PLAYING THERE BEST YET . Lidge blew 2 games in LA . They have the best road record in baseball and have the second most come from behind wins . You want to count how many times you beat last year or this year fine but more than likely k-rod and company will be watching the playoffs on TV

I knew the Mets looked scared. They won 1 game this series, barely by a guy named Johan Santana. Great series though, but it just proves that the Phils are in a whole different class. Next up Red Sox.

I speak Spanish. In the Spanish alphabet, the letter "n" and the letter "n- with that weird little swiggly line over it" (called en-yay) are two different letters! It may not seem like much of a difference. But if you ask someone how old they are in Spanish, you literally ask them "How many years do you have?". But if you use the "n" instead of the "en-yay", you are really asking them "How many @#$%ES do you have?" ("Cuantos anos tienes?") HA HA! There's quite a difference between "years" and "a#$holes", wouldn't you say? Ha ha!

I'm just gonna say this about the Phils and Mets. I'm from Philly so no need to tell you who I root for but all teams have injuires not just the Mets. Two years ago when the Phils won the division being down by 7 with 17 to play our entire starting staff was on the DL at one point not to mention howard, utley, victorino, bourne and a few others and we still won the division. Myers was sent to the minors last year, utley was hurt again, howard struggled and still won the WS. Mets fans stop making excuses. Thats all the Mets and their fans do is make excuses. Lidge and Myers are on the DL now and we still win. Yes that ball in 86 went through buckners legs but the Mets really lost that game and should've lost the series and you creeps know it.

As for the Giants, yes they won the superbowl two years ago and thats great but we've beaten your team what 5 out of 6 times since including the playoffs and we'll do so again this year. The entire NFL is worried about the Eagles this year. They've done everything right this off season and will make another run at a championship. Yeah, i know we haven't won it but we are always in contention and that puts us in a postion to win. Thats what counts. NY can bite me!!

Raul could run for MAYOR! He'll never have to buy himself a beer in this town!

You are always doing great! But I am wondering about the news that your profile was found on C e l e b m i n g l e . C 0 M ? They said it is not confirmed by you yet? I believe it is fake news!

Hey loser Giants/Mets fans! The Eagles/Phillies OWN your overpriced city!!!! And don't give me that "Eagles aint won no Super Bowl crap!" Check the NFL history, EAGLES World Champions 1948, 1949 and 1960! So take that! That last Giant Super Bowl was a fluke! No Super Bowl Champ loses not once, BUT TWICE AT HOME to a division rival! GIANTS ARE LOSERS!!! GIANTS ELIMINATED! And those poor Metropolitans LOL! I love that loser name Metropolitans! I see why you say, "All hell, just say Mets!" You give up on the field like you give up on pronouncing your full name! Losers!

Manuel a real manager vs. Manuel a bench coach acting as manager. Mets won't beat Phillies til they get a real manager

man thatguy can hit, this team is great. hope they stay healthy and see the opportunity to win big 4 years to come. mc nabbwho?

What did Beltran say? Met's fans take heart, Billy Wagner is coming off the DL early.

i applaud Raul and any player that is willing to take a test for performance enhancers. If more players would comply then maybe we could get back to genuine baseball and not all this fabricated bs. As for the mets, Phils are in their heads plain and simple. Still you can test for anything you want and I gaurantee the two things the mets lack are BALLS!

The Yanks just dropped another one to the Sox.....So lets watch the METS get thumped some more by the Yanks....Hopefully that high dollar bullpen will cost Omar his Job, Tear down and Re-build...oh yeah and watch the Philles win ANOTHER NL east....Football season is near...

and whether hes using steroids or not, he plays for the phillies, and he is beating the living @#$% out of pitchers in his way.

its unbelievable how scared the mets are of the phillies. this team does everything with the phillies in the back of their mind, there is so much pressure on them. and the phils are the best team in baseball if you ask me. yeah theyve got some health issues as far as pitching goes, but theyve done well inspite of that. the pitching has been awesome the last three weeks. and i DARE you to show me a team that plays defense better than the phils. thats the reason the phillies will end up atop of their division again.

Lol... Are team is on a downward spirl... Have you even looked at are defense. Obviously some one who has no foot ball knowledge whatsoever.. But it's ok.. No really it's ok.. I'm going to believe the guy from the city that always folds, chokes, breaks down, and crys.. When it comes to Winning a Super Bowl.. Excuse me.. WoW sorry got mixed up.. Tries to Win a Super Bowl.. sure you know what your talking about...

Ohh and another thing.. You won the World Series Good Job.. Philly

If you add Up NY's World Series Total.. Yankees 26 Mets 2..=28
Dam.. I mean.. Really.. Come On.. Who's Di#k Is bigger... No Really.. ;)

Lets go Mets!!.. hahahhahhahahahahhahahahhah
still plenty of baseball left @#$%es.....

Omar made stupid decisions the past season as well. He should not have signed Castillo to that bs 4 yr deal and waited for Hudson to lock him up for 4 years instead. And why the hell would he not go after Ibanez and Lowe? He would rather have Murphy and Perez instead? Dumbest move ever. The Mets would have been stacked had they gotten those three players but let our rivals get two of them instead.

Keep dreamin' Pumpkin. Your team has two good pitchers and two good hitters. That's it. - healthy or not. They can't hang. Hey, somebody's gotta come in second - maybe it won't be Florida or Atlanta, maybe it will be the Mutts. Go Mutts, You can do it.

Manuel needs to stop being an idiot and fix the lineup. Wright is hitting everything and he is fifth in the order with no one behind him to bring him in. It should be Castillo, Cora, Wright, Beltran, Tatis and then Shef. Also stop sacrifice bunting all the time, what a fin waste of an out. I think the Mets might be in a decent position this tear as long as all of our guys come back healthy and ready to contribute, and that we are not out of it by then which I don't think we will be. But you can't bank on this. Omar needs to stop being stupid and make some deals. Give our team what it needs, more power and pitching. Swing a deal for someone like Aubrey Huff and a pitcher like maybe Bedard. That should take care of some problems. And Philly fans need to stop thinking you are the best team in the world. Congrats you won a championship last year. Its not like winning has been much of a tradition with your team. You're not even good fans. Just all giddy now cause you guys won. You're not going to win this year unless you get more pitching too.
