- Braves 5, Mets 3: That was not the start to the season's nominal second half that the Mets were looking for. Oliver Perez skated through six innings, walking four -- which is probably low for him -- and allowing three runs. The bats scored three runs in the fourth inning (Gary Sheffield, Jeff Francoeur and Daniel Murphy had the RBIs) to take a 3-2 lead but only got two hits the rest of the night. Philadelphia won, so the Mets now trail the Phillies by 7 1/2 games in the National League East. And they're in fourth place. And the injury news is mostly murky, too.
- Galaxy 3, Red Bulls 1: Even with David Beckham rusty in his return to the Galaxy, the Red Bulls still put forth a subpar effort. Juan Pablo Angel scored the only goal, and it was on a penalty in the 87th minute with his team down 3-0.

Its a good time to be a Phillyist
Going off-topic for a bit here:
As a Philly native living in NY, I visit Phillyist a couple of times a week to try to keep up with what's going on in my hometown.
I'm not sure if it's the lack of a community of commenters or the lack of actual news stories, but Phillyist is a very different site than Gothamist. I dare to say... a tad boring. It's all just weekly features and press releases it seems. Nothing really to talk about.
What's up with that? I know the cops are just as abusive down there as they are here, and SEPTA is 10x worse than the MTA. :D
