Mets-Phillies preparing to brawl?
The Mets haven't forgotten about the brawl talk reportedly coming from the Phillies in spring training. The fierce NL East rivals square off today in the final home opener ever at Shea Stadium, and it will be the first meeting since a February report by ESPN's Jayson Stark suggested there would be fisticuffs between the clubs this season. Met manager Willie Randolph also welcomed the possibility of a fight or two between the division's top two finishers last season, saying it would be a good way to build a rivalry. The teams didn't play in the spring, so the Mets' Carlos Beltran and Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies jawed back and forth instead. But the clubs will have at least 18 on-field brawl opportunities starting this afternoon.

It is all roid rage. Let them beat the heck out of each other and then let them fight. Sorta like catfights over who can win a spot in the playoffs.

After that choke job last year by the Mutts, I guess they want to show they have a little fight in them. Guys will be lining up to knockout Billy Wagner - from both teams. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!

Hey...slapshot...the mention of a brawl between the teams came from the Phillies clubhouse. Not the Mets'...so basically..you guys win the NL East and still act like a bunch of punks. I'm not shocked.
I gave nothing but credit to the Phillies for taking the East...however I'd appreciate it if the Phils fans stop contradicting themselves. You didn't have the greatest comeback ever if we had the biggest choke ever. Sorry. Also: the 1964 Phillies own the worst regular season collapse in history, up 6.5 games with 13 left to play. Hate to nitpick, but those numbers don't lie.

Hey...Chokers...chances are you really have no idea what you're talking about. But knowing you're intellect, you're about to tell me I have been 'owned' and I am 'dismissed'....well here is a refreshing thought: I will be in Citizens Bank Park on April 19th for Mets-Phils. I will tell you the section in advance. You can come by and back up your keyboard muscles. How about that?

Actually...if you're referring to me...you're new to chokers' comments. Ones where he insults people's families and hurls personal insults, all from the safety of his keyboard. Meanwhile, those of us that aren't pretending to have keyboard muscles are absolutely fine with the real life stuff. Not being tough when I'm telling the truth. Read up before commenting.

Moondizzle isn't a "tough guy", I believe he's trying to make a point.
