IGT Businessmen's Special Thursday 5-25-06 Mets vs Phillies

[stevejrogers]

And Mike & The Mad Dog on the air.

Heh, going to be hilarious for those who listen to the Mets via MLB's Internet Radio feed and hearing those two rather than professional announcers!

Let's sweep this thing!

[MFS62]

With Jeremi on the mound, something tells me I'd rather have Chavez' defense in the outfield rather than Nady's offense in the lineup. (Although a case can be made that Nady is taller, and might be able to catch balls headed over the fence.)

Funny to see the A-List on a weekday. I'd've thought that Castro might get another day out there.

Then again, he might be huting more than Lo Duca.

[Centerfield]

"Sweep the Phils. Do you have a problem with that Mr. Randolph?"

[Gwreck]

Stat of the day: the Mets have never lost when Jeremi Gonzalez starts.

Ok, seriously now -- I think Nady is a better choice than Chavez because my guess is that the Mets will have to outhit the Phils to win today.

And yet they've lost Pedro's last three outings. Maybe we're bumping the wrong guy from the rotation.

[Guest Hillbilly]

God Damn, based on the pre-game it sounds like todays word picture is going to be full of stick-figures.

[Gwreck]

As much as I hate Francesca, props for using the phrase "here to paint you the word picture."

[Guest Edgy DC]

One down for Jeremiad.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Utley can really hit, can't he?

[Diamond Dad]

Of course, the WFAN feed is blacked out on the internet. Probably better not to have to listen to Dog call the plays.

[Elster88]

And Gonzalez sucks.

A so-so home run call by Russo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Abreu can hit better, can't he?

[Diamond Dad]

In the time it took to post that last message . . .

(Jeremy should be packing his bags between innings)

[Centerfield]

I will be happy when Jeremi Gonzalez is no longer on this team.

Right now I'm guessing - You'll sleep well tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ummm...

[Diamond Dad]

So, as the fans settle into their seats here at big Shea . . .

It's already Phillies 3, Mets eventually coming to bat

Blacked out on MLB.com? That can't be good...

[MFS62]

I wonder what he feeds his gopher.

Probably saving the true homer call for the Met ones

[Centerfield]

You know, Mike and the Dog are better than I thought they'd be.

[Guest Rotblatt]

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Reyes doubles to start the Mets comeback.

[Centerfield]

Reyes leadoff double. Let's get 'em back boys.

[Guest Rotblatt]

What the crap, Reyes? A double?

I thought you were fast.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice hose, Duke.

Three striaght blue-hat days. I can't remember the last time that has hap'd.

[Centerfield]

Russo: "Reyes is tied for the major league league in steals with Podesnick of the White Sox."
