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

[Gwreck]

I did not know that Heath Bell skateboarded to spring training each day.

[Centerfield]

Burrell walks. So now instead of having Feliciano to face Howard, we have Bell.

And Howard promptly singles.

Fuck.

[Gwreck]

Not that it necessarily would've changed things but this result is making me angry with the current strategizing. Thankfully we have the nice DP to end it.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Willie is fucking retarded.

These moves make no sense whatsoever.

Bell gets Rollins to GIDP, but now we're down by 2.

[Gwreck]

They got 40,000+ for a weekday afternoon game? Damn.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Just get on base here, Jose.

[Gwreck]

We're gonna need to rally to get him the chance for the cycle.

They all came to get a glimpse of Massive Mike and the Cretinous Canine.

SC= 97

Later

[Guest Rotblatt]

Goddamnit.

Beltran strikes out for the second time today to end the inning. Myers at 119 pitches.

Go get 'em, Bell.

[MFS62]

If they bring in Cormier and he gets his third career save against the Mets, VS 0-30 in save opportunities against all other teams combined, I'm gonna' have a stroke.

(you might never see me) Later

[Guest Rotblatt]

Oh, for the love of christ, could we try NOT walking the leadoff batter?

[Guest Hillbilly]

Overall, a strong 8th by Bell.

[Centerfield]

Good job by Bell to work around it.

6 run bottom of the 8th coming up here for us.

Come on you Mets.

[Gwreck]

Big bats coming up. Rally time!

Agreed. Ruiz sacrifices, Dellucci strikes out & Victorino grounds out to first.

Time for Delgado, Wright & Cliff to get us back in this.

[Centerfield]

Time for Wright, Floyd and Nady to get us back in this.

[Guest Hillbilly]

[Centerfield]

Time for Floyd, Nady and Matsui to get us back in this.

[Guest Hillbilly]

walks kill

[Gwreck]

Floyd on with the tying run and the Phillies go to Gordon.

Pinch-hit for Matsui?

[Willets Point]

Nady bats first.

[Gwreck]

Nady walks. I would pinch-hit here.

[Elster88]

Let Kaz hit. This game is not THAT important. Let him swing.

Francessa thinks Kaz hasn't had an extra base hit in a month. 'Course, he hit a double Tuesday.

If Matsui makes one more out, he'll be down to batting .160 at Shea this season...

[Willets Point]

Nah ganna happen.

[Centerfield]

Fucking Matsui.

[Guest Rotblatt]

me too.

Willie doesn't.

[Willets Point]

Piss.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think it's pretty important.

It might not be a huge upgrade to have Franco bat but it's still something, and not a problem to put Woodward in for the rest of the game.
