Jay Bruce cracked a smile as the New York reporters walked his way. The former Met knew what was coming after another big performance against his old team in the stadium he called home for parts of three seasons.
“There’s no hard feelings,” the Phillies’ left fielder insisted, after bashing two home runs and driving in four runs in a 8-3 rout at Citi Field. “They’re in our division and we want to beat them. But it’s not like I’m coming here [looking to kill them].”
That may be the case. Daniel Murphy always made similar comments, before and after he tortured his former team as well.
