Mets can finish road trip 9-1 with a win Thursday

 

NY Mets (41-23) at Philadelphia (31-32) 1:05 pm EDT

 

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The New York Mets have been streaking to a level of success rarely matched by the franchise in recent years.

 

Closing a 10-game road trip, the Mets look for their eighth consecutive victory Thursday when they attempt to finish a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies.

 

New York is seeking its first eight-game road winning streak since May-June, 1988, which would be its longest overall streak since a nine-game stretch in April 2000.

 

Carlos Delgado drove in three runs and Jose Reyes recorded his second game of at least four hits this season as the Mets overcame a 65-minute rain delay in the fourth inning Wednesday and posted a 9-3 victory over the Phillies.

 

Steve Trachsel (3-4, 4.70 ERA) faces Philadelphia for the third time this season. He took the loss May 11 after allowing two runs and six hits in four innings. He did not get a decision against the Phillies 12 days later.

 

Philadelphia counters with Cory Lidle (4-5, 4.68), who is 4-1 with a 2.15 lifetime ERA against his former team. He lasted just two innings in a loss to New York on May 10, yielding eight runs and seven hits.

 

Jimmy Rollins belted his ninth homer of the season and Bobby Abreu added a run-scoring single in the fourth on Wednesday for the Phillies, who have dropped five of six.

I like the fact that we come out strong and finish strong instead of comming out slow, then finishing strong

 

Strong from start to finish...the sign of champions... :ph34r:

WOW... Traschel is pitching a no-hitter and it's the end of the first :o impossible... lol

Trachsel usually gives up atleast 4 hits in the first... the Phillies must be on drugs :P

Don't jinx it... :ph34r:

Let's hope he doesn't have to pitch too much with guys on. The game will last forever.

I don't know what's wrong with the Sillies, they've looked completely lost the past week or so. You'd think these guys have never played the game before, a complete lack of emotion...except for Chase Utley.

 

Utley has 11 errors this year already. This team reminds me of last years and the 04 Mets also the 97 Mets.

 

Win 4, lose 5. Win 5, lose 4. Win 3, lose 3...

Utley isn't the best fielder obviously - for the most part he makes the plays he's supposed to make, and once in a while makes a really nice one. But he's that guy that's gonna bust his ass on every single play his entire career - the emotion and positive influence that should cause (but seemingly isn't on this team) is invaluable.

 

By the way, Sal Fasano has the coolest haircut and mustache in all of baseball, and I love him for it.
