    It's going to be a long...long year. The Phillies are the least fearsome title defender since the Anaheim Angels.

    ibanez has been a nice addition i wasn't sure about him. i like what charlie did by batting him 6th and werth 5th. Pitching really needs to wake up Myers is the only one who has looked like a major league pitcher. 3-3 is ok with me the future looks bright to me. Go World Champs!!!!! :D

    Harry's passing is definitely going to cast a shadow for a long time to come. C'mon Phils, time to win one for Harry the K !!! Gone , but he'll never be forgotton. Like Gene Hart and Richie Ashburn before him.

    Well, the Phils have the 4th highest payroll in baseball right now at $129 million (behind the Yanks 201, Mets 149 and Cubs 134). How much more would you have liked them to spend?

    I didn't agree with the Moyer signing and wanted them to get D Lowe. But Moyer is kind of a folk hero here now and there would have been a lot of outrage if the Phils let him go.

    Gonzo: Poor Mets, poor fansBy John Gonzalez

    Inquirer Columnist

    Dear Mets fans,
    It's been a while since you last came to visit. You weren't missed all that much. We love to hate each other, sure, but it was kind of nice without you.

    This is your first trip to town since last August. Philly has been a little busy since then. There was the World Series and the parade and the ring ceremony and, man, it just hasn't stopped. You probably saw most of it on TV since you didn't have much else to do after September. You remember all the pageantry that goes along with being a world champion, right? No? Well, maybe you have some faded pictures of 1986 in a shoebox somewhere.

    This might be overstepping our relationship, but can we tell you something? You guys seem awfully haggard. It looks like you haven't slept much lately. Guess choking away two straight division titles will keep you up at night.

    It has to be brutal to be a Mets fan. The Fightin's got off to a typically slow start and still managed to finish the first month of the season with an 11-9 record. That's where they were at this point last year - two games over .500 - and we all know how 2008 worked out for the Phils.

    Meanwhile, the Mets enter the series having lost seven of their last 10. They're three games under .500 and looking sloppier every day.

    Their season certainly hasn't gone over well with the New York media. Stories about the Mets are frequently peppered with words such as "pressure" and "anxiety" and "failure." And the headlines are even more vicious:

    A Strange and Sad Season

    Mets Remain Amazin'ly Powerless

    Mets Can Produce Only More Frustration

    And the best of the lot . . .

    Ya Gotta Be Kidding

    Things have gotten so ugly that David Wright has been openly booed at Citi Field. (A little advice: that kind of behavior is so unbecoming. You should try to be more like us - cool and calm and supportive.) A blogger for the Newark Star-Ledger even wrote that Wright is "the face of panic in New York's slow start." How far the all-star has fallen.

    Jerry Manuel has also taken a lot of heat. Last week, one of you guys made national news when you held up a homemade sign. It was an orange poster board with black letters and a simple, direct message: "Fire J. Manuel." The Mets fascist security guards didn't like that very much, and they confiscated the sign.

    On top of all that, you're forced to pay outrageous prices to watch bad baseball at Citi Field - the not-so-impressive new park that the team plunked down next to a shanty town of shabby auto body shops. Even visitors from Detroit would find that area crummy.

    While you're here on your mini-vacation, try to relax. Have a Schmitter and a few lagers and forget about your troubles at home. Soon enough, you'll be on the Jersey Turnpike again - headed back to New York to watch the Amazin's bungle their way through another season. That's an awfully grim fate.

    For once, we won't blame you guys for making the trip down to Philly. Generally it bugs us. But if we had it that rough, we'd want to get away, too.

    Sincerely,

    Fightin's fans
