Raul Ibanez answered his critics last night – with an exclamation point!
Ibanez has been targeted by some bloggers who question his eye-popping increase in production this year, and have suggested – without any facts – that maybe he’s getting some help.
An angry Ibanez fired back, saying he would take any kind of test to prove he is clean.
Last night he took some of that anger and frustration out on the New York Mets.
Ibanez crushed a pitch in the top of the 10th into the bullpen for a three-run homer, lifting the Phils to their second straight come-from-behind, extra-innings victory over the Mets.
The Phils now head back down the Jersey Turnpike with a comfy four-game cushion over the Mets.
Interleague play kicks in again tonight and all eyes will be on Citizens Bank Park, where the Phils will entertain the equally hot Red Sox.
Hopefully Ibanez will be able to provide a few more exclamation points this weekend.
