I hate to be that guy again, but “Manuel on the upcoming road trip” – don’t you mean upcoming homestand?

Come on guys, get your sh*t together this morning…

You know we already have guaranteed at least a split by winning 2 of 3, right?

How about they get 3 games ABOVE .500 for the first time in two months before they get 3 games ahead in the standings, m’kay

Well, the Mets seemed to have liked their manager too yesterday, since they won the game! Although IMO liking the manager has little to do with it.

And why shouldn’t the Met’s take the series? They already won 2 of 3, have gotten more hits, and held the Phils awesome offense to 9 runs in 3+ games.

THe Phils had that one hot stretch this year where they looked like the ’27 Stankees, but since then, they haven’t looked good, and have a below .500 record. And that is with their BP of unknowns and retreads (mostly) pitching out of their minds. If that comes back to earth, it will not bode well for them.

If CHurch is playing next week at home, how the Mets perform against 2 week teams will be a real good sign of how the Manual era might play out.

And frankly, their problems have been lack of talent, not lack of effort, against some of these teams.

Correction: the Phils are lucky to get a split here. The Mets already clinched a split.

Going for the sweep?? We lost the first game of a 4 game series….Mets are lucky to get a split here.

And how many times this season have the Mets blown opportunities to step up to the plate, grow a backbone and show some guts in “pivotal” games?? Please. This team gives NO indication that it can or will win this series against the Phillies. Becasue thats what mediocre teams do. The Phillies are contenders and they’ve been playing that way since last year. They like their manager and they play hard for him, which is why the Phils will win tonight and not the Mets. And “beat up on the Giants and Rockies”?? LOL…….surely you’re joking. One thing this mets team DOES do is play DOWN to their opponents. Expect more of the same versus the Rockies and Giants…..
