IGT: Mets @ Phils 5/11 + IGT Mojo

[Gwreck]

Weather update:
Looks like the game will be played but a rain delay looks likely.

Strange that there'd be a night game when both teams are traveling after the game.

[Willets Point]

I may get to Milwaukee before the Mets.

[Guest KC]

Did the picture avatars shrink again?

Big bang-pow night tonight from the two hole.

[nymr83]

Batting Floyd 2nd is a little weird but if its just for one night oh well who cares.
I'd probably have put Matsui there for tonight as the most capable of bunting Reyes over if that ended up being necessary for some reason.

[Guest KC]

I'm not at the tv, but I think I heard from the other room that the tarp is still on?

True. No rain falling though -- I don't understand. It's probably going to take at least 2 hours for the rain to get there, rain, and pass. No sense waiting for that.

[nymr83]

The tarp has been rolled up and they are getting under way...

[Zvon]

Thats been Gavin Floyds problem this season---control.
Gets 2 outs and walks 3 to load em.

Wright just misses a massive homer that goes foul.

[Zvon]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
best catch Ive seen this season! (live TV)

Roland robs Nady.


well,, maybe that diving catch by Chavez.

Damn,,,he's bleeding

[Gwreck]

Was Nady's ball going out? Howie Rose says "one of the best catches you'll see all year."

[TransMonk]

Great catch by Rowand robbing 2-3 runs off the bat off Nady.

[Zvon]

bleeding badley from the nose too.

He hit that metal strip on the outfield wall.
Wow---what a grab.

[TransMonk]

Ball wouldn't have left the yard, but would have bounced off the wall.

...and Roland still would have bounced off the wall.(and hit that metal)
Ball would have bounced straight back to center.
Inside the park grand slam homer.

[TransMonk]

Will be remembered as one of the best defensive plays of the year...good for him, hope he's not too banged up.

[Zvon]

Trachsel retires Roland.

the no hitter is intact

[Zvon]

Homer by Chase Utley---
I blame myself.

[TransMonk]

I blame Zambrano.

What kind of name is Chase Utley anyway? Sounds like an insurance company.

1-0 Phils, bot 1.

lmao.


Castro doubles past Burrell.

[Zvon]

Burrell is just such an awful fielder (watch-now he robs a homer).

Reyes 1st time up, he was swingin at shit again.
Over the top of the low curve.
Cant be doin that Jose.

[Zvon]

Roland broke his nose on that catch.
As soon as the pics of the catch come in Ill post em.

[TransMonk]

Rowand broke his nose!

That's taking one for the team. Why don't they make the padding bigger on the fence to cover up the metal bar that he hit his face on? This was bound to happen.

[Zvon]

I just noticed Ive been calling him Roland.

:\

Well, Rowands replacment triples off the right field wall on a ball that Nady should have played off the wall.

That was either gone or off the top of the wall.
Shouldnt have even tried to grab that.

bet they do that now.

[Guest KC]

I was going to post the same thing, bet the padding gets upgraded next
road trip. They didn't mention concusion or anything so ... not too bad.

[TransMonk]

Floyd (Cliff) robbed of an infield single by the ump. Phillie announcers both said "huh!" in unison as they watched the replay. "I thought ties went to the runner, but the Phils will take it."

We need to score some runs off this guy before it starts to rain.

[Zvon]

Whew---Chase almost hits another.........

NADY!

you cant let em tag there!

Rollins tags first to second after Cliffys great play holds him to a single.

[Willets Point]

Trax, do some damage!

[Zvon]

ugh!

Bell robs Trax.
Great play.

(nice double by Matsui earlier)

[Willets Point]

Poo!
