Read: Heyman on Mets vs. Phillies Rivalry
In his latest for SI.com, Jon Heyman talks about the recent ‘war of words’ between the Mets and Phillies.
Heyman writes…
“Beltran and other Mets types are understandably excited about the acquisition of ace pitcher Johan Santana. Yet the Mets should hold their tongues now for two very good reasons:
1) They had their chance last spring when Rollins spoke, but to a man, they were afraid to speak up, a reticence that was later reflected in the way they played — scared; and
2) Philly beat the Mets to a pulp down the stretch, winning the last seven head-to-head games.”
…if you’re interested in reading more about last year and heyman’s man love for rollins, then this is the article for you…the Phillies certainly did a number on the Mets head to head…there’s no denying that…and yet, it was still the Mets who flat out gave the division away, the Phillies didn’t exactly have to go on a tear to win it…anyway, enough already about last year...
