Matthew Cerrone: I'm rather blown away by this team's ability to fight back in these games, night after night. I'm a fairly positive fan. I want to believe. It's not difficult for me to buy in to a storyline, because I want to have fun and enjoy the game. But, even I have struggled of late to believe these guys can keep doing this again and again' and yet they do. They were living in fear of falling below .500 last Saturday, and now they're five up and growing in confidence. I love it and Terry Collins needs to get a ton of credit. Let's not go bananas here and anoint him Manager of the Year, because there is A LOT of baseball yet to be played, and the current state of the Phillies bullpen can make any team look miraculous. However, Terry is connecting with these guys and that shouldn't be ignored. It's been great to watch and I desperately hope it continues'
The fact that this all went down against the Phillies (and Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee) just makes it all the better. The Mets smacked them around, and I hope the Phillies are a bit embarrassed and concerned about the direction of their season.
In regards to individual players, Ike looked strong at the plate tonight. He had a nice swing on a double earlier in the game. Later, he teed off on a pitch down in the zone, which he had been missing earlier in the year, but tonight he crushed it for a home run.
Hat's off to Manny Acosta, as well, who has struggled at times this season, but tonight he did a terrific job getting a double play in a scoreless seventh inning, after the Mets had scored three runs in the top of the inning to take the lead and continue momentum.
