Game 36 Open Thread: Phillies at Mets

Cole Hamels is seeking redemption against the Mets. Perhaps today he'll find it.

By Liz Roscher
FEAR HIM.
FEAR HIM.
Mitchell Leff

Cole Hamels has a career 7-14 record against the Mets, with an ERA of 4.65. At Citi Field, he's 4-5 with a 4.19 ERA.

Today, all of that changes. YEAH I'M SAYING IT. I'M SAYING IT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.

Hamels is tired of being the Mets' BP pitcher. Today, he will make them pay. It doesn't matter that six hitters in the Mets lineup have career averages of .300 or better against Cole Hamels. Today is the day he will mow them down.
