Wow. Helluva game! And nice for once to see the Phillies make the crucial mistakes to lose a game.I will admit that in the 8th the ghosts of Phillies/Mets games past started to swirl around my brain, and I became convinced that weaselly little Shane Victorinio was going to trot home with the tying run. But it was,happily, not to be!! Pedro Feliciano bore down, got the outs, and K-Rod slammed the door in the ninth. Sweet!
  It was real nice to see the Mets win a game like this against the Phillies. Another one tonight would be even nicer. :)

Big thanks to ESPN for showing the Mets more than almost every other team. I'd hate to be an out-of-market KC fan or Seattle or Colorado or many others.

Great game indeed but a problem with a pitching duel like this is 1 wrong pitch can so easily mean another loss. I do love a pitching duel, I LOVE when a pitcher has a low ERA, but I think I'd rather have a win that's a little easier to come by (less stress!)

Now... winning 7 or 8 out of 10 would be a good way to get the Mets to a better place in the standings.
