Well, that one might be shown as a future episode of Phillies Classics. The rain didn't really show up (I had visions of Gavin Floyd, Xavier Nady and Aaron Rowand), but neither did the Mets' bats. Johan Santana showed up all right, pitching a ...

God I hate the Mets. That's why I could smile all day today despite enduring the after effects the quasi-annual meeting of the Heavy Hitters Club (amateur fireworks so good it's scary [literally]). It was a hard-earned win for the Phils, and they ...
