The Mets have the Phils' number, and both teams know it.
Let's step back for a moment and remember 2007 and 2008.
My, those were good times weren't they? It was eight years ago yesterday, August 25, 2007, that the Phillies trailed New York by seven games in the NL East. Things were looking grim. Then the Phils went on a crazy rampage as the Mets fell to the bottom of the earth, making up five games in five days (aided by a late-August four game sweep at home, capped off by this incredible series finale), to eventually take the division from the shell-shocked Mets on the final day of the season.
