Three Reasons Why This Phillies Series Is Important

Kerel Cooper — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 12:09:10 +0000

Yes, I know it’s early and I am by no means saying this is a “must win” series BUT I do think it is important for the Mets to play well in these three games. Watch the video below to here why. Also be sure to check out a series preview podcast I did with Phillies blogger Rich Baxter over at Fightin Phillies.
