Every summer the Phillies seem to have a pivitol series that could seemingly make or break their hopes at a post season. Coming into the four game home stand against the division leading Mets, the Phils are 4 games back of Cinci in the wild card hunt with another four teams in between. With the Mets being the class of the National League, this 4 game set will be a huge one for the Phillies.
Tonight will be a battle of one of the best pitchers of his era going against the most highly anticipated young Philly arms in decades. Should be a perfect night for a pitchers duel. (Phillie fans can hope, can't they?)
