As the Mets have ascended to the top after all these years, that has come with taking on more enemies. The Philadelphia Phillies have always been an enemy, but lately, the rivalry has been rather one-sided.
The Phillies have finally accepted that they’re on the other end of the former era and have entered the new one in the last month (though the two are rather bridged together for taking so long to break it down.) Now, the Mets come into the Fightin’s park with a swagger unseen since the Phillies took over the Mets non-dynasty back in 2007.
