Prior to the last Mets-Phillies series in New York, there was some verbal jabbing going on between the fanbases about the Phillies and how they can’t measure up to the better teams in the league. Mets fans were discussing how the Phillies were only in the playoff spot they were in since they were playing bad teams and winning those games (not remembering that the Mets play the same teams apparently). It’s kind of a strange argument to have since playing and beating bad teams is how playoff teams get into the playoffs. Ideally, one would like the Phillies to play well against all teams and they have.
Keep beating the bad teams: Phillies 6, Pirates 0
