Philadelphia Excitement

For the second day in a row, the Mets and Phillies are tied late. Carlos Degado just hit his second home run of the game, an opposite field shot down the leftfield line to tie the score at 3 in the top of the eighth. Last night's contest was one of the most exciting games I watched all year, and this one is shaping up to try to match it.

Update: After an infield single by Beltran, Charlie Manuel brings Lidge into the game, and he allows three runs to score. A Murphy double plates one, and a Schneider bloop down the leftfield line brings in the other two. The Mets give their bullpen a three run lead to hold.

Update: The Mets bullpen pitches a perfect 8th and 9th and take back first place in the NL East.
