IGT 133 - 9/1/05 vs Phillies - Big Important Game

[willpie]

Wagner's stuff is kinda filthy, isn't it?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Beltran strikes out on a "high, hard one."

[Frayed Knot]

"What I don't get is replacing DeFelice with Castro. Why take a bat off the bench?"

DeFelice was pnich-hit for and had to be replaced.

[willpie]

Just as I was about to wonder aloud why Matsui wasn't stealing, Floyd grounds into a fielder's choice. Bleh.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Hah! Sorry about that, Frayed. In my crabbiness, I forgot about the pinch hitting.

Floyd beats out a DP ball. 2 outs.

[willpie]

Well, that sucked.

[Guest Rotblatt]

So much the MVP. Wright strikes out looking.

Terrible, terrible series for us.

[seawolf17]

I've never been so pissed about being only 2.5 games out of a playoff spot.

Gonna be a long road trip.

[Zvon]

="Frayed Knot"]Once you get to the 9th inning at home there's no longer going to be a save situation. So, unless you're under the impression that one of these call-ups is less likely than our supposed best reliever to give up a run, then you're decreasing the odds of coming back by bringing in someone other than Looper.

understood.

I would have shown the Phils someone they hadnt seen yet in that spot.

Damn, Wright was pissed about that strike, and maybe wrightly so.
Rarely see him like that.

Well, what started on a grand note has turned to sour grapes, and the Mets go from 1/2 out to 21/2 out of the wild card.

This was the series that could have put the Mets in the catbird seat, but the Phils play Sylvester to our Tweety

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Ironical we lose the rubber game on the one day we weren't badly outpitched.

Poor starts in Games 1 and 2 about as troubling as the lack of O for me.

The Phils looked like the better team this week that;s for sure.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I think now is when I'd like to see Willie really lay into his players and upend a few tables.

[Centerfield]

Damn. That sucked.

it really was. Even more than usual.
i dont know if it was seeing him in the daylight or what.

But seeing him at all, as I have said, is never a good thing

[MFS62]

LAst night, the Mets announcers were wondering how well Wagner would do if he had to be used today, because he threw a lot of pitches last night.

Phuck! That was ugly.

I guess Ill have to wait to see the blotched DP by Galvine on Baseball 2nite later.

That sounded like the beginning of the end there.

Eapecially after a loss. :(

This is what I was going to say.

It'd be really nice if Beltran and Floyd haven't been utterly invisible the past few months.

Wright and, to a lesser extent, Reyes, can only carry this team so long. Likewise Mike Jacobs the God was never going to last. :(
