00:00I'll tell you, you should have been given up already.

00:01It's the New York Mets.

00:02The Philadelphia Phillies wasting away the past two games.

00:05Early leads in ballgames.

00:07Only see them to go away.

00:08The Phillies have a 2-0 lead entering into the bottom of the fifth inning

00:10before the Mets strike for five runs.

00:12The Phillies fought their way back here in a 5-5 tie,

00:15only to get to the bottom of the ninth inning

00:17and bring in your closer in a non-closer situation

00:19who has been very good this season

00:21until after he got hit in the leg with that ball down in Washington.

00:25But John Duran was on the mound last night,

00:27gave up four straight singles and a walk-off for the Mets

00:30to get them closer to the Phillies.

00:31One win in those first two games wins the Mets season.

00:34Now the Mets are looking at a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies

00:36as if they can knock them off and now win the NL East.

00:40Crazy times up there in Flushing.

00:42I mean, everything we talked about yesterday

00:46set up for the Phillies here, right?

00:49They had the opportunity.

00:50They had all of their arms available.

00:54Alvarado is back.

00:55I don't even know if a lot of folks realize that.

00:57He is back.

00:58They had everybody, all their high-end leverage guys

01:01in that rebuilt bullpen were back and available last night.

01:05And then Duran comes in, and that's the end of that.

01:09Four straight singles, and that's the end of the game.

01:11And Edwin Diaz apparently,

01:14don't bet against Diaz against his Phillies lineup.

01:16They can't hit him.

01:17They can't win at Citi Field,

01:18and they can't even put the bat on the ball

01:21when Diaz pitches.

01:22They can beat Hells League because, well,

01:25so can everyone else.

01:26That was a great pickup by the Mets.

01:28But they can't hit Diaz,

01:30so he is the kryptonite for this Philadelphia Phillies lineup.
