The Phils are dunn. They don't impress me of coming back to relevance any time soon. But the last two times the Marlins cleaned house, they rebounded quicker than anyone suspected. They're who I'm fearing beyond this season.
Phillies phalling phast, refusing to show any heart and help us catch Washington. There seems to be more than a small chance that they may end up behind Miami, the way things are going, and the last thing the Mets of the Future need is a 2013 confidence boost for the Marlins of the future.
Pretty cool to cap the game with Flores' first career homer. Ike hit a buncha homers in this building last year and I kinda hoped he'd have a similar powerfest, but reachng base all weekend is amazin'. He reached four times today and scored thrice. He's like... Alan Dykstra, actually. He may end up being Player of the Week.
Arizona had a twitter poll about who had the best cameo on Seinfeld --- Keith Hernandez, Buck Showalter, Paul O'Niell, or Danny Tartabull. Keith won 88% of the vote, and the other guys split the remaining 12. #SorryYankeeFans
Another Ike hit highlights a third-inning one-run rally. Inning ends with Baxter thrown out at the plate, but it was a good send, considering the pitcher was on deck with two outs.

Jon Niese returns to action after a DL stint that started as cold-weather-related stiffness turned to tendonitis turned to a rotator cuff tear. Opposing him will be his mortal enemy Sprull! No defense against that pitch! Look at him bringing it from below his hip. Righthanded, too!
