Sleepwalking Through Another Phillies Win

The Phillies continued their inexplicable domination of the Mets yesterday with a 10-6 victory in New York to complete a three-game sweep.

Here, let’s have Marcus Hayes, World of Warcraft’s biggest fan, describe the thrashing. Perhaps after his shorthand making it into the paper last week, he wanted to redeem himself.

A sharp Phillies nine beat a somnambulant Mets club, 10-6, fueled by Greg Dobbs’ first career grand slam and, perhaps, the constant derision of Rollins by the 52,779 at Shea.

The Phillies are now 3 1/2 games back of the Mets. After the exciting four-game sweep of the Mets last month, the Phillies were only 2 games back of the Mets. So despite winning eight in a row from the New York nine, the Phils are over three games back, and remain 1 1/2 back in the Wild Card. Phillies baseball!

The Mets helped out yesterday by committing six errors, the most hilarious of which is pictured. The Phillies now head to St. Louis for a three-game set against the Cardinals, who will probably sweep the series with an aggregate score of 45-0.

Two of the games over the weekend were afternoon tilts on Philly 57. This is an advantage for Phillies fans, as they get to hear Chris Wheeler read hilarious CW previews.

If Wheeler played Satan on that show I’d totally watch every week.
