Feeling Full-Philled

Mets win their 3rd straight over the 'Phils today, 8-3. Carlos Beltran not only made one of the better catches I've ever seen, he also Bel(tran)ted 2 more home runs. This win feels really good after having to watch the Phils celebrate and cut up and just generally have an all around good time after they swept the Mets at Shea. So to quote The Cardinal Fan, "nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doodoo...." Ah, immaturity feels good sometimes. Jorge Sosa was shaky at times giving up a mammoth shot to Ryan Howard, but hey, who hasn't given up a mammoth shot to him? Sosa seemed to getting under control when again (anyone remember Endy Chavez vs. these guys?) someone from the Phillie dugout shot him in the leg running out a double play in the 5th, ending his day and possibly earning him some time on the 15 day Eckstein. Speaking of great chatches, Aaron Rowand damn near made what could have been the best catch anyone has ever seen EVER. I guess the baseball gods were in the Mets corner this time (remember Rowand breaking his face on the fence while robbing X. Nady of a triple, if not a homerun?) as the ball popped into, then out of his glove and over the fence. Phils fall to 6 back, the Scareds (opposite of "brave". Get it? Nevermind.) win in Fla to keep pace at 4 games back.

Possibly disturbing news. With Sosa possibly headed for the DL, word has it that Jumping Bean Perez will miss his scheduled start with a strained lower back. ****Note to The Cardinal Fan: Not a word about how he hurt himself jumping over the damn line between innings, you hear??
