[The Big O]

Orel just said Ryan Howard "may be the best young hitter in baseball". Psst, Bulldog ... other dugout.

[nymr83]

Pujols isn't "young" anymore?

[Zvon]

LoDuca doubles to Delucci.

[Guest GYC]

Delgado doubles in the Mets 7th consecutive 1st-inning run. First time in 40+ innings Myers has allowed a 1st inning run.

[Guest GYC]

Wright with an RBI single!

[Zvon]

And Delgado knocks him in with a double to center.

Not like Rowand to misplay a ball off that wall out there.
Phils are playing nervous.

And Davey drives in Delgado with a knock up the middle!.

[nymr83]

pounding the ball is fun.

I think you have to call Myers their ace.
He would be the one to play stopper.
But you cant stop a steamroller with a peashooter.

[Zvon]

The Phils announcers sure do miss Richie Ashburn.
They always bring him up, or one of his Whiteyisms.
He was good in the booth for an old sourpuss.


ElDouque makes a FOOL out of Abreu with a snappy curve for strike 3.

2-0 Mets.

[Guest GYC]

That was a nasty curve.

[Zvon]

ewww--that was a perfect fastball Myers Ks Milledge with.

O'Hernandez singles-ha!

[Zvon]

Another error by Phils 3rd baseman Bell loads em up.
Bell is usually very sound at third.

And Myers walks in a run--how bout that?

[Zvon]

Reyes is unsettling Myers with his dance down the third baseline with the Delgado shift on.
But apparently not enough, as he strikes out Carlos with some borderline pitches.

[Zvon]

Ouch-
A not so great turn of events as Delgado errors an easy grounder off Howard and ElDouque hits Rowand with a pitch.

1st and 2nd for the Phils,0 out.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Ryan Howard is not the best, young baserunner in baseball.

[Theoldmole]

How bad are these guys, exactly? I've never seen such total self-destruction. Do the Mets intimidate them that much?

[TransMonk]

Phillies look like a AAA team tonight.

They're better than this, but I'll take it.

[Zvon]

WOW!

Beltran makes a great over the shoulder grab of Bells deep fly, and Howard really screws up with some awful baserunning and is caught between 2nd and 3rd.
What he was doing there, i dont know--but he went back and must have thought the ball got away--cuz he went to tag.

[Guest GYC]

Kaboom for D.Wright!

[Zvon]

on an 0-2 fatball.

[Guest GYC]

Rowand almost caught that. I would have been PISSED.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Cue circus music...

[Guest GYC]

RBI single Milledge! 5-0 Mets!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Could this be any more demoralizing for the Phillies?

[Zvon]

Rowand cant work his magic this time!
Chavez triples off his glove as he almost pulls another Willie Mays type of catch.

I cant believe Abreu tried to get Chavex at home off Miledge's single to right.
And I cant believe he almost had him!

Milledge takes 2nd on the effort.

[TransMonk]

Rowand pulled up like he was scared of the wall.

I wonder why?

[Guest GYC]

Triple for Jose! 6-0 Mets!

[Willets Point]

THE BAD NEWS BEARS IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE

(2006, PG) Wacky hikinks ensue when a little league team of loveable misfits disguise themselves as a major league baseball team.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Maybe they're trying to get Manuel fired.
