IGT: Mets vs. Phillies 6/15 - Going for the Sweep

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Can we let Sanchez pitch the 9th then?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Gotta like 1-2-3 on 3-4-5

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Maybe not. He's due to bat in the 9th.

If Castro gets on, I'd let Sanchez stay in to bunt.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Sure, but I bet Willie calls for Wagner.

Didn't he look awful trying to bunt earlier this year. Or am I misremembering?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Julio has been successful in threee of his last four pinch appearances, four of seven, etc.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I wish I had more faith in Sandman.

[Elster88]

Rowand has a .976 fielding percentage this year.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I prefer to call him Sandanista.

We Met fans have to have something to worry about.


Franco with the nice pinch hit single.
Works Geary good too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Julio has been successful in four of his last five pinch appearances, five of eight, etc.

[Elster88]

Nine pitches before the single. He's my favorite Franco on the Mets this year.

[Zvon]

lol--and Franco steals second---thats got to be embarrassing for the Phils.

Nose>it


but another run would be huge here.

Bring em home Beltran!

[Elster88]

So what's the new record for oldest man to steal a base?

Why? Franco's got good wheels. He's already stolen one this year.

How is it embarrassing?

[Gwreck]

Franco is leading the majors in pinch hits and PH batting average (players with more than 20 PH ABs).

[Centerfield]

Oh well. Beltran strikes out. Bum.

Up to Wagner to close out the road trip. I hope he's sharper than he was the other night.

[Zvon]

="Elster88"] How is it embarrassing?

That was practically a pitch out!

Mr Franco did have a huge running jump tho.

Beltran cant get it done and its time for this graphic:

[Centerfield]

Come on Billy. Throw strikes.

These are the things you should have said off the bat for us poor bastids not in front of a TV.

And for posterity.

[Guest Rotblatt]

1 down.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Nunez pops up. That's two.

[Guest Rotblatt]

[Gwreck]

Put it in the books!

[Zvon]

YEAAAAAAAA BABYYYYYYYYYYY

[Centerfield]

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!!!

[Guest Hillbilly]

[Guest OlerudOwned]
