Instead, they went meekly into the damp night, losing, 3-2, to the Phillies on Friday in the first game of what the Mets would like to think is a showdown series.

In fact, this most recent road trip has summed it up quite perfectly -- a loss, a win, a loss and a win in a four-game set against the Cardinals, then a loss in the series opener to the Phillies on Friday.

No more pitches, no trying to be a hero. After 95 pitches, holding the first-place Phillies to two runs, manager Jerry Manuel determined that Santana had done his job through eight.
