I wrote this in another post yesterday, but I thought it may have gotten missed by some Philly fans, so here ya go:
The Phillies played the Mets on June 9, 10, and 11, going 2-1 against them. The Phillies then lose 2 of 3 to the Red Sox, get swept in 3 game series by both the Blue Jays and the Orioles, and then go 3-3 against the Rays and Blue Jays, before finishing up their 9 game road trip by being swept by the Braves. So after beating the Mets, they go 4-14 in their next 18 games.
And then the Mets show up in Philadelphia...
They sweep the Mets in 3 games, beginning a stretch of 15 wins out of 17 games.
Jimmy Rollins stats between the 2 Mets' series: .136 (8-59), with 2 doubles, 2 HRs and 5 RBIs, OPS .487
His stats since the Mets came to Philly: .366 (26-71), with 9 doubles, a triple, 2 HRs and 11 RBIs, OPS 1.058
Phillies after beating the Mets on June 11th = First place by 4 games
After getting swept by the Braves = Tied for first
Since the Mets came to Philly = Expanded their lead to 6.5 games
The Phillies are now doing the same thing to the Mets that the Braves did in the late 90s and the first half of this decade.
