sac fly, 5-4 brew crew

[Zvon]

10 of Jenkins 21 RBIs are against the Mets?

Thats some crazy sheeeeeeee-it.

Turnbow to close, Mets with the big guns up.

[metirish]

This blows, and Philly won again today...

[Zvon]

Turnbow blows Beltran away.
1 down.

Degado (2006 MVP-MVP) up.......

Delgado with a double in the gap!

Come on David!!!!!!!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Delgado is pretty awesome, isn't he?

[Zvon]

wright grounds out--delgado moves over to third.
Im surprized Nady is still usin the pink bat.

[metirish]

WOW....I love this game....ump had his arm cocked and ready to call Nady out and end the game....

[nymr83]

WOW. inches from losing again

[Elster88]

Wow.

Let's get that down for posterity.

2 hopper in the hole, SS goes into short left to pick it up, does a jump throw. The throw bounces on its way to first, Cecil Jr has to sort of dive as he's reaching for it, he grabs it in his glove a full step before Nady touches first as he's falling down. But when he hits the ground it fell out of his glove.

Base hit correctly called. If Fielder had held onto it it would've been a great play on both ends. AND, if he had been out, either Nady is ridiculously slow or he wasn't hustling the whole way.

[Zvon]

WHEW

Nady gets it done with an infield single.
Tie game.

wow---- Delgado getting over to third was HUGE.

DAMN!
Clark makes a diving catch to get the brewers out of it.

[metirish]

Gray was right about how big Delgado going to 3rd on Wrights grounder....it's the small things that he does that are also impressive.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That wasn't quite diving.

The ump was pumped to call Nady out there. Would he have been?

I thought safe at first. Replay says maybe not.

[Elster88]

I said "sort of" diving. If you've got a better way to explain be my guest. It's a better written record than "infield hit"

that other view says maybe a tie at 1st.

cripes, these umps.

[Elster88]

If he had caught it, Nady was definitely out.

i think Edge was referring to my call on Clark.

What can i say-im over dramatic.

[Elster88]

My apologies.

[Zvon]

.....a lunging catch.

[Elster88]

Is it just nerves? Or is Wright just a bad fielder?

[Zvon]

DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you not learned what errors do?

[Elster88]

This is what we call over-managing. Wagner is coming out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think Ramon Castro should replace David Wright for ninth-inning defense.

[nymr83]

its just bad luck. not that he's a great fielder, but if these errors came in the 3rd instead of the 9th nobody would talk about them

[Zvon]

if that was to his left or right- he makes the play no problem.
Its the ones right to him...i dunno what it is.
But i used to play third and Id have to say a lack of concentration.

he finds himself with too much time and he thinks---if it was hit harder he would have made it as well.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Freakin' Bradford submarines his pickoff throw. Amazin'.

It's a bit of a leap to say that.

I'd still be talking about them. I think other folks would be too.

For this game we would have.
This whole games been one big error.

[Zvon]

whew

Mets get out of it.

[Elster88]

I think the fact that they DO seem so concentrated in the ninth could be a point in favor of Wright being a good fielder. Maybe he only makes errors in "big" spots, so he actually is an excellent fielder. 'Course, I doubt there will be many subscribers to that idea on this site.
