right there

Coming into tonight's matchup the Phillies are only 1/2 game out of first place as the Mets start possibily another late season collapse. Clearly the Phillies need a few more players to really become a force but the Mets aren't really any better, they have an aging Carlos Delgato, punk short stop Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, David Wright, a revived Fernando Tatis, injury prone closer Billy Wagner, and one of the best starting pitchers in the game Johan Santana. The Mets have a good fantasy team, but the Phillies have a manager and the entire team that wants desperately to win. The question is can the Phillies hold on? They've done everything they needed to do to put them in position to make the post season, now it's all on them. I know I might sound like you're typical Philadelphia fan who can love and hate my teams seamingly at the same time, but I do believe that I am an educated fan who is knowledgable in not only Philadelphia sports but with other teams outside Philadelphia. There is nothing better then a baseball pennant race and we get to experience this trill of a ride for a second consecutative year.
