In-Game Blog, 9/15, Phils vs. Mets
Before the game Cole Hamels threw 45 pitches in the bullpen and from all accounts felt and threw superbly. He's ready to take over for J.D. Durbin in the rotation by starting Tuesday against the Cardinals. The thinking is that he could go five innings if he can get hitters to put the ball in play for outs.
As for the game ... the Mets have definitely applied a policy where they are going to challenge Chris Coste's arm. They've stolen four bases, and Coste cut down Jose Reyes on a pitch out. The four steals came in the third inning when the Mets scored two runs to take a 3-1 lead.

Wow, huge home run by Rowand ties the game in the eighth. One question: What the heck was Feliciano, a left-hander, doing in there pitching to a right-handed hitter? That was plain silly, Willie Randolph.

I'm going to give away the lead to my story Sunday because it's so obvious:
"Do the Mets want the Phillies to make the playoffs?!?"
Beltran flat-out misplays a line drive by Rollins into a two-run triple to put the Phils up 5-3. Unbelievable.

Clearly the Mets DO want the Phillies to make the playoffs. It's the most respect I've ever had for New Yorkers.
