For the first time since mid-April, the Mets are atop the National League East by themselves.How they got there on Thursday, considering the way they've played this season, could surprise you.
Carlos Delgado had the game-winning hit, snapping a 1-1 tie in the 8th inning with a 2-run double, capping a series where he smoked the ball nearly every at-bat, and continuing to be hot at the plate.
Oliver Perez came up big in another big game, striking out 12 over seven-and-two-thirds innings, while walking just one.
And the Mets took two out of three from the Phillies, after Tuesday's potentially devastating loss, to improve to 9-4 against Philadelphia this season.
Just like last year never happened.
NOT NEWS: Fred Wilpon admitted he "screwed up" with the firing of Willie Randolph. Apparently he had a chance to convince Omar Minaya to wait until the morning, but didn't do it. In other news, the sky is blue, dogs chase cats, and the Phillies don't scare me (anymore).
