Salt in the wounds? The Phillies are headed to the World Series

October
15

Manny Ramirez looked like Barry Bonds, circa 2002, but it still didn’t matter. The Phillies are headed to next week’s World Series after defeating the Dodgers easily, 4 games to 1.

Cole Hamels pitched another gem, and Jimmy Rollins hit another big leadoff home run. I know this was probably tough to watch if you’re a Met fan, but I have two questions:

1. Did you watch?
2. Will this season sting even more if the Phillies win the World Series?

We had a debate two nights ago at the office about whether or not the Phillies winning the pennant would trouble Mets fans. There was no consensus. The World Series, however, was a far different story.

To this point, a couple guys I work with have basically given up on the postseason without the Mets around. Needless to say, they’ll be watching next week. A Philly championship would be tough for them to stomach.

    It’s going to be hard for a Met’s fan either way, it will be the Phillies or Scott Kazmir getting a championship.

    No posts in 2 days. Maybe the interns got real jobs with a real newspaper???

    Metsfan: I feel bad for these guys. Its not thier fault what happened. Johns readers are very faithfull to him and dont like the way he was dropped from this paper. Every writer was an intern at one time. Eventually they will get their own following. I will come here sometimes to see thier stories, and post if its an interesting topic. Good Luck, fellas.

    If I wanted interns Ray, I’d go to a Binghamton Mets blog site. This is the big leagues and this rag treats the Mets fans like minor leaguers. Pity these kids if you wish, but this rag doesn’t deserve any support.
