Philadelphia Phillies – The Disgruntled Mets Fan

Mets Sweep Phillies at Citi Field

1 Jun

One-third of the season over before this series, so coming back to sweep a division rival is really sweet.

That Phillies Comeback Was Truly Amazing

6 May

Can’t front when Lindor hit that 2-run HR on the 9th to make the game 7-3, my only thought was ‘here he goes again, padding his stats at a time when the game has already been decided instead of when he need him in the clutch’…and boy was I wrong.

Mets Pitch Combined No-Hitter vs. Phillies

30 Apr

Great game. Great win. But combined no-hitters just don’t excite me as nuch as when the starter goes the whole way.

Mets Beat Phillies 9-6, Take 2nd Straight Series on the Road

The Mets Can’t Let Aaron Loup Go To The Phillies

12 Nov

Signed to a one-year deal, Aaron Loup (6-0, 0.95 ERA, 1 HR allowed) had a phenomenal 2021. And now, GM or no GM, the Mets need to resign him. He’s already gone on record stating that he loves being in New York and wants to stay a Met, so this shouldn’t be complicated: give the guy a 2 or 3-year deal already, before God forbid the Phillies or someone else in the NL East grabs him up.

Zack Wheeler Agrees to 5-Year Deal with Phillies

4 Dec

Wheeler is at best a No. 3 starter and can be maddenly inconsistent, but damn if I didn’t want to lose him…esp. to a major division rival. Word’s out too that Cole Hamels just a 1-year deal with of course…the Braves. Meanwhile, we’re still waiting on any major deal from the Mets. SMH.

Phillies Take Series From Mets At Citi Field

9 Sep

Syndergaard has a so-so outing, the bullpen didn’t help matters and Conforto and Alonso were nowhere to be found. With 3 weeks left, our wild-card hopes continue to dimmer.

Rhys Hoskins’ Home-Run Trot Was Epic

25 Apr

At 34 seconds long, the trot was not only cool to watch, but it was the perfect troll after almost getting hit twice against by Jacob Rhame the previous night. Let’s just hope that with Major League baseball’s obsession with pace pf play, the powers-that-be don’t come up with some stupid rule that regulates the home-run trot.

Bryce Harper Agrees to 13-year, $330M Contract with Phillies

1 Mar

Harper stays in the NL East so we still have to face him 19 times a year. And by the time this deal ends, Harper will be like 40 and still making $30M a year. Ridiculous.

David Robertson Agrees To 2-Year Deal with Phillies

4 Jan

Once the Mets got Jeurys Familia in addition to Edwin Diaz, you knew right away that the chances of us going after Robertson were nil to none. But damn, if Robertson didn’t have to go to a division rival.
