Beating the Mets means different things to different generations. Long considered one of the sports prickliest rivalries, people are quick to point out that there are few instances in which both teams are good enough to make the trip up 95 to scream at each other worth the two hours of our lives. The Phillies taking out the Mets in 2007 and 2008 was immensely satisfying; beating up on the pathetic fourth place Mets of 2010 and 2011 was less so; but these days, with the Phillies low and Mets oh so high, beating them, their precious pitching staff and their 2015 NL pennant feels pretty good.
