Pssst...it's 6/22.

[Guest KC]

thanks

[Guest abogdan]

Zambrano gets into and out of a bases loaded, 0-out jam by K'ing Jim Thome looking and getting Pat Burrell to ground into a 5-3 DP. That was one scary inning.

[Guest KC]

Philly loads bases in the first only for Burrell to ground into double play.
Maybe the planets are re-aligning or something, I thought for sure he was
going to hit a grannie and send me on to something else early.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That'[s Mr. Excitement for ya. Bases loaded on an error, a sac-bunt/single and a walk, but comes back to get Thome looking and Burrell to hit into a DP.

He's the Mangina.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

What in the name of Leo Foster was that crap?

Wright is trying to sabotage this game for Zambrano.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

PS -- Clones-MFY Jr.'s on your NO Network.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Cliff deserves a nice BANG POW for hitting a solo job the other way, while Zambrano deserves credit for a strong bottom half of the inning, keeping things tied.

[Guest KC]

Sleeping on the job again ...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Cliff pulling it in and cracking his big creaky body against the wall with bags juiced.

Is there any doubt that this is Cliff's team and has been all season. Let's make him assistant GM!

[Guest KC]

Almost deserved another bang pow. What a play.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fran making a regrettable argument to leave Zambrano in when we all could see how shot his location was in that last inning. Even Frannie was going on about his release point being lost.

Great job getting the walk by Mienkiewicz.

LET'S GET READY FOR SOME BUNTING!!!

[seawolf17]

And when the heck did Ted Robinson become a Rick Peterson apologist? He kept going on about people making fun of him and his "ten minutes" comment about Zambrano last year. Hey Ted... we make fun of guys when they say silly things. Get over it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The point was that a supposed internal alleged comment got leaked by a nameless source and Peterson got hung out to take all the heat for the Kazmir/Zambrano deal.

[Willets Point]

Tie game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Zambrano off the hook.

Good to have Cammie back here.

[seawolf17]

FWIW... the Padilla Flotilla is the Best. Fan Section. Ever.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We small-balled a run in.

Nother big test for Ringo here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Grrr...

Shoulda went with Hernandez.

[seawolf17]

And just like that, it all falls apart.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

shitfuck.

Clones-MFY Juniors tied 2-2 in the 7th.

Clones fans are calling for the debut of Bobby Parnell.

[seawolf17]

S'okay; these things happen. Keep at 'em, boys. Six outs to score six runs. They can do that.

[Guest cooby]

Seawolf, you are so funny!

[Guest KC]

Well, they got two back as Piazza pads his stats with another meaningless
(unless they have a sick ninth inning comeback) but solidly hit HR. He has
to lead all-time great Mets in meaningless "big" hits.

[seawolf17]

And don't forget his career lead in GOICS.

I want the Mets to load the bases in the ninth inning, so Fran Healy, sitting in his house, calling the game for his dog, can tell himself that "now that home run by Mike Piazza really matters."

[Guest cooby]

Gah! I was just reminded by a forlorn Scarlet Knight that she is at this game...

[seawolf17]

Gack. I hate losses.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Mets cough it up. Clones cough it up.

Gotta say, we're not playing well.

Wright & Woody make bad plays early, which in the end cost Zambrano 1 run and a whole inning of pitching.

WWSB wusses out bigtime and plays smallball so we can tie the game, only to see his bullpen choices give it right back sixfold.

Beltran & Reyes give us zippo in the 2-3 holes.

[seawolf17]

I put up Schaefer polls for the last couple of days; everyone vote so Yancy doesn't yell at us when he gets back.
