Final Call Rounds – September 4th
 |
The Phils have licked their wounds, the Mets have cowered in
fear and now the three game set we’ve all been waiting for has arrived.
Phillies – Mets, with New York
having the power to break the spine of the NL East Champions and the Phillies
having the chance to break the spirit of the NL East runner-ups.
Game one begins with each team throwing one of their hottest
starters – Mike Pelfrey (13-8, 3.66) for the Bad Guys and Brett Myers (8-10,
4.40) for Philadelphia.
Myers, who is 5-1 with a 1.42 ERA in his last seven starts
while Pelfrey has gone 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and two complete games over his last
four. It’s do or die time, first time is
scheduled to come in at 7:05.
Notes
- Carlos Delgado - who missed last season’s pennant race with
an injury – has 14 homers and 44 RBIs in 44 games since the All-Star break. - Five of Ryan Howards‘ major league leading 39 homers have
come against the Mets - Jayson Werth played all three outfield positions Wednesday.
He started in center, moved to right and finished up in left. - Disabled Billy Wagner may pitch Sunday in a Brooklyn
Cyclones game. He could be back as early
as last week - The next bag Jose Reyes steals with set the Mets’ record
- The Mets have already won the season series from the
Phillies. They’re currently up 10-5. The
Phillies won last season’s set 12-6.

Tim Malcolm at Phillies Nations looks at the Phillies who
might, could, and should bring home gold gloves. There are some surprises there. My two thoughts: Utley and that’s it,
although if Tejada gets it over JRoll I’m officially freaking out.
