To say that this past week in Philadelphia was frustrating for the New York Mets would be an understatement. Not only were the Mets swept by the Phillies, but they did not even look competitive during the four-game series. They were outscored 27-10 and had an average margin of loss by around four runs. The Mets' dreams of an NL East title are all but dead and are barely hanging on to the last Wild Card spot.
However, the worst part about this sweep is that it highlights the difference between the two teams' clubhouses. Ken Rosenthal recently wrote an article about how good the vibes are in the Phillies clubhouse and how everyone is bought in on winning baseball games.
