First off let me say that if you haven't heard about 2 Minutes to Midnight Green, you're missing out. It's the best place on the internet for expert news and analysis on all the Philly sports.

http://www.2minutestomidnightgreen.com

Secondly, 2M2MG now has a message board up! The forum is for fans like yourself who want to have intelligent conversations, post rumors, or even submit articles for readers to view. The forum has everything on it. There's a forum for the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, NCAA Basketball, and NCAA Football. There's also a place for the general leagues (the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL).

Don't feel like talking football? That's fine, we have it set up so that anyone can come in and discuss politics, religion, or anything else for that matter.

Go to the site, click the Message Board button, register, and post. Could it be any easier?

Check it out!

Hey,

The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.
