It seems like the season just started, but we’re almost at the baseball season’s unofficial halfway point known as the All-Star break. To end the first half, the Phillies will visit Citi Field to play three games against the New York Mets. Considering how the last series these teams played went, that seems like a good way to end things.
New York Mets
Record: 39-48, Fourth place in National League East
Four games, four comeback victories by the Phillies, one epic on-air meltdown by Mike Fransesa.
The Mets looked like they were in a death spiral, but since their series against the Phillies ended, they went 2-3 against two first place teams, which is better than most people expected.
