[Valadius]

Wait... what???

[Guest KC]

Floyd bang powed ... they also score another run in the second but if I were
at the game I'd score it a WW.

Mets up 2-1 through 1 1/2.

[Valadius]

Cairo did something.

IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!!!!!

lol.......

Floyd Kaboomed?
I hate when i miss kaboomers

[Zvon]

Thats 33 hr and 97 RBIs.
*Z twittles his fingers*..........excellent.


If you told me at sesons start a Met would post those numbers Id of said, thats gotta be Beltran.
Floyds bat still looks mighty fast thru the zone. I thought he was lookin burnt out over a month ago.

I toast Floyd and his most excellent season. Hope he reaches 100 ribs.
Heres to afew more seasons like that over the next few yrs.

[Valadius]

I picked him up at the beginning of the season for my fantasy team. Worked out beautifully.

He didnt go in either of the drafts I was in but was scarfed up a month or so in.


DAMNNNNNN YOU UTLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U see that short compact swing?

DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utley goes yard to give the Phils the lead.

Was Utley batting 3rd last time in......I dont think so.

[Zvon]

A 3 run job by Mr. Clutch Utley......
Sheeeeee-it.

I think for all intents and purposes, the Mets have derailed the Phightins.
It will be quite an uphill climb to recover from losing the first two games of this series. I agree playing the spoiler is a defeatst attitude, but i dont mind seein it happen, esp with the local Phils (you think Met fans are fickle, HA!)

And the Mets have leap frogged out of the basement past the Knats and the Fish. And thats where they should be, I feel. Id be very happy if the Mets end .500 or better and in third place.

[Zvon]

Phils announcer just said, and Ill quote:
"Cairo, doing the job of the ultimate number eight hitter, is now 2 for 2 and doing his job......"

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

According to MLB Gameday:
Bobby Abreu reaches on missed catch error by pitcher Steve Trachsel, assist to first baseman Mike Jacobs.

Sounds like Trachsel isn't helping himself out much. What did he do, drop a toss from Jacobs on a ground ball to first?

At least he got Burrell to end the inning.


I got booted off the forum 3 times while attempting to post this.

[Zvon]

Marlon Anderson teaches the Phils a lesson:




5-3 Phils in the 5th

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Marlon's done a good job coming off the bewnch this season. He's done a pretty good job as a pinch hitter and he can fill in all over the field when needed. I know Anderson is getting up there in years, but I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Mets bench next year.

I must have been in the kitchen grabbin a snack when this went down.
At CBS it just says error by Trachsel.

[Zvon]

Suddenly Ishii is gettin plenty of work.
He'll take over for Trash.

[Zvon]

Phils get another run on a basehit by lofton, off Ishii.
The Mets threw the ball around the field until they managed to get Lofton tryin for 2 to end the inning.



Castro gets sawed off for a single, and its amazing that bat didnt spear anyone in the stands. It went about 15 rows in and the busted side was as sharp as a knife.

Thru 5 and 1/2 its Phils 7, Mets 3

[Valadius]

Goddammit, here's Ishii.

We want Hammy!!!

[Valadius]

DANNY GRAVES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Zvon]

How about Graves?

Ishii walks Utley, gives up a double to Abreu.
Graves takes over.
Ks Burrell (big) , intentionally walks Howard, then gives up a bases loaded single to Bell (a lil dying humpback liner)

Then Graves Ks Lieberthal (big) .
The HE WALKSSSSS Padilla with the bases loaded (after gettin 2 strikes on him)

Phils go up 9-3.

[Zvon]

I have to say tho, graves had some nasty stuff on the ball. It was movin all over.
But you simply CANT walk the opposing pitcher with bases juiced.
Thats just rediculous.

[Zvon]

Anderson goes for the 2nd time tonight. Niccccccccce.

[Zvon]

Wright with a 2 run blast, his 24th of the year.
That gives him 99 rbi.

Phils still lead, but the mets are chippin away at it, 9-6

I got him right away in the draft too, and he has been a joy to own

[Zvon]

Bell on the mound in the 8th gets in a pickle (1 out back to back singles puts Phils at 1st & 3rd) and Hammy takes over.
Hamulak for the hold, and we cant let the Phils plate any more runs here.

[seawolf17]

I'm still trying to figure out how this is the "biggest game of the year." Did I miss something? Did the Astros give back a few of their wins?

[Zvon]

Hamulak gets J. Michaels to fly out to left, but its deep enough for the sac to score the Phils Bell from 3rd.
Then Hammy lets Lofton line a single into center.
Phils have ducks on the pond for Utley.

(10-6 Phils, and they will bring in Wagner for the 9th [its no longer a save situation])

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The bases are jammed with phreakin' Phillies after Lofton singles for his fourth hit of the night.

Damn it, we need an out to end this madness.

[Zvon]

OUCH!

Utley with a baseclearing single.

Someones gonna get an error on that throw by Floyd to second.

Utly has now driven in over 100.

Victerino hits a pich hit homer (who the hell is he?) and the Phils now have 15 runs.
A 6 run 8th,.....ugh.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Me - "Damn it, we need an out to end this madness."

Didn't happen. Utley clears the bases with a freakin' single.

Who was it wanted Hamulack? Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it.
