[Guest The Brooklyn Bum]

Ug, Manny Acta makes babies cry.

:cry:

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That was a nice solid inning. 4 runs in, 3 after 2 outs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets up 5-1 on a four-run second, and everybody stung the ball except Benson, who was successfully sacrificing.

[Guest Edgy DC]

By the way, I'm not quite reasonable-doubt sure if Beltran touched home plate on that hook.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I just time-travelled to 2025 to listen to Pat Burrell's Hall of Fame induction speech.

"I'd like to than the Mets... a lot."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does anybody else get a trip there?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Myers knocked out.



Who else is digging on Wright in the two-hole?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Reyes just toured the bases at high speed.

A walk and Beltran's RBI single KO's Myers, who's a snotty punk and deserved it.

[MFS62]

Well, he's not hitting, but at least Mientkiewicz can still play defen...,er, never mind.

Later

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's 6-5 Mets after five.

And we got to the Phillies pen early tonight, which is a good thing to do in the first game of a three game series.

[seawolf17]

Hey, Pat Burrell homered; that never happens.

[seawolf17]

RING! RING! RING!

6-5 going to the 8th.

[seawolf17]

Dougie goes



and I knew Urbina would help the Mets at some point this season.

[seawolf17]

And Daubach goes



and I knew Urbina would help the Mets at some point this season.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That was a nice inning.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

A 6-4-3 double play was Bert's best friend and the way out of the 8th inning.

Does anyone know Wagner's entrance music in Philly?

[seawolf17]

He should enter to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." (Or, as I like to call it, "Dance of the Valkyries.")

As of last year, it was "Enter Sandman."

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Thanks Seawolf.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is there some skinny kid behind home plate holding a magnifying glass toward the action?

[Guest KC]

Lol, I think it's a radar gun.

Vahgner always finds it's way into a Mets thread every year. Long dark stuff.

[Guest KC]

Since when can you swing your elbow into the strike zone and get a HBP?

[seawolf17]

How the hell did that ball bounce over Reyes' head? Damn you, Philly, and your real grass. Bring back the turf.

[seawolf17]

Reyes makes a nice play to get the runner at second, but Lofton beats it out. Tying runner at the plate, two out. COME ON, Looper.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Shouldn't Anderson have been at the bag on that play?

[seawolf17]

And they win the damn thing by the score of 8-5.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There's Mienkiewicz's glove.

Eggcellent.

Freaky-deaky ninth, but eggcellent.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

One down, two to go.

I'll be there tomorrow - is anyone else going?
