Tonight the Mets will play the Phillies in Philadelphia, their third consecutive game in as many days in a different road city.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is only the second time in franchise history that this has happened to the Mets, the last time from July 23-25, 1995 when they were in Colorado, Chicago, and St. Louis.




The Mets also went 0-3 during that stretch…this time (with a less-talented team, IMO) they could possibly go 3-0!
Now that I look back on it, I wonder how that 1995 team was never over .500 the entire season:
Todd Hundley, c
Rico Brogna, 1b
Jeff Kent, 2b
Jose Vizcaino, ss
Edgardo Alfonzon, 3b
Joe Orsulak, lf
Brett Butler, cf
Carl Everett, rf
Rotation:
Bobby Jones, Dave Mlicki, Bill Pulsipher, Pete Harnisch, Brett Saberhagen, Jason Isringhausen
Izzy and Pulsipher…generation K! lol, they were nasty for a while, then everything fell apart. Man, i need to stop reminiscing!
