For the second consecutive series, the Philadelphia Phillies have swept the New York Mets. The Mets have lost eight straight to their division rivals, dating back to July 1st.

The Mets have a 3.5 game lead on the Phillies in the division.

14 games left on the regular season with no days off. Mets will play at Washington and Florida and then return home to play those two teams to finish the season.

Mets fans are hoping the Phillies don't make it to the playoffs. They're the last team the Mets want to play in the NLCS frankly.

Well, I just hope the Phils don't slide like they did after the last sweep! They have to keep the good play going. Today, all those errors helped.

But I'm hoping the Phils are for real! It would be great to see the teams play each other in the playoffs. The Philly/NY rivalry is huge in all sports, and it would be fun reading the NY papers!

Two more weeks to go!
