The Mets awoke from their homestretch coma and defeated the Marlins 13-0 this afternoon at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY. Maybe that news was a downer for the Phillies. Maybe they were disappointed that they would not be able to clinch the division title with a win in today’s game with Washington. Maybe they were […]
