This is exactly what you would expect from a playoff rivalry series between the Mets and Phillies. You’ll absolutely love it!
Personally, as an Atlanta Braves x Miami Marlins fan, I find this a bit disgusting, but fortunately it turned out to be a winning bet. Also, I can’t wait to see the Phillies vs. Mets game. These National League East rivalries are special.
And the fact that the postseason is in the mix, yeah, I’m game.
