Phillies go scoreless at Citi Field!

Outside Citi Field

The King & I were on hand to witness some history.

For the first time since 1988 the Mets have shut out an opponent 3 straight games.

This time was very sweet since they did it against their division rival, the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies hadn't been shut out 3 straight times since 1983.

The Mets won the series by a cumulative score of 16-0 over the 3 games.

They got some quality starting pitching from R.A. Dickey, Hisanori Takahashi and Mike Pelfrey in the process.

The bullpen did the rest as the Mets kept the Phillies bats silent after the Red Sox almost no hit them on Saturday night behind Dice K.

In addition, Sunday afternoon Tim Wakefield of the Red Sox shut them down for 8 innings before Ramon Ramirez was roughed up for 3 runs in the ninth inning.

It should be noted the King & I and our friend Bryan Gilligan saw that game as well.
