This is apparently only his 5th (?) relief outing this year after starting...but still, this is impressive.

unfortunately I have to agree.

5 innings pitched
84 pitches
3 hits

He now has as many innings as Floyd.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Chavez throws lefty. They probably don't have a lefthanded catching glove in the dugout so he'd have to go out there with an outfielder's or firstbaseman's glove.

Matsui would perhaps bring a whole host of new communication issues.

[Guest martin]

whew! i wasnt having any luck finding a good kaboom graphic. i appreciate the mets letting me wait until the floyd bomb next inning.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Fuck baseball.

Eh, I think they're managing just fine in Seattle...

[Frayed Knot]

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute.

[Zvon]

I think the only way LoDucas coming out is if he literally loses a limb.

If that foul ball didnt hurt him, nothing can.
Hes.............INVINCABLE!

[Gwreck]

Lefty glove though is a convincing argument. I think we're settled on Matsui.

[Guest Edgy DC]

]Eh, I think they're managing just fine in Seattle...

Sure, with a professional catcher.

Learning on the job in the big leagues will be tough.

[Willets Point]

Everybody up for the 14th inning stretch.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Oliver with a 1-2-3 inning. On to the bottom of the 14th.

Madsen has to be tiring. i think we break through and get him this inning.

[Gwreck]

Madson is at 84 pitches. They've gotta pull him soon.

[Zvon]

Floyd crushes that fly to center and Harry Calas says-
"Ohhhhh, thats it...."

But it falls short.
I blame the pre KaBoomer searcher guy.

thats me! dangit i blame myself too. i even found a nice one and was about to bring it out because gary cohen was so excited when that ball left cliff's bat.

[Zvon]

We simply have to last long enough to get past Madson.
This should be eaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy.

[Gwreck]

You know it's an interesting game when....

You're the 6th pitcher used and you've gone longer than the starting pitcher

[Willets Point]

Madson should receive a lot of Yuengling points from Phillies phans tonight.

your forgiven.
Good thing you werent premature and actually posted it.
We would have strung ya up.

[Gwreck]

...and he's HITTING! WTF?

[Zvon]

OMG--Madson bats.

I think im gonna be sick.

[Willets Point]

For the curious, the Major League record for length of games by innings is 26, Brooklyn and Boston on May 1, 1920. It could have gone longer, but was called a tie 1-1 on account of darkness.

Longest Mets game, 25 innings, St. Louis 4, New York 3 on September 11, 1974.

Sal Fasano looks like a catcher from the 1970s

[Guest Edgy DC]

Fasano breaks his collar.

Pinch runner Carlos Ruiz comes on to pinch run and the old rookie remains on the bench.

We discussed porn staches recently. How do you describe Fasano's facial hair.

I like how the Phils pr their "fast" catcher for their slow one.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around

I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I am
Whoa, yes I am

I�m gonna wait 'til the stars come out
See them twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine

You're the only girl I know
Really love you so
In the midnight hour

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine

Just you and I
Oh baby, just you and I

Whew-
I needed a laugh

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Oliver shuts the Phillies down once more.
