Hoping for a good day out of Tommy G.

I'd like to see that ERA for the year stay under 4.

[Zvon]

Ugh.

[Guest cleonjones11]

Mets are folding like a cheap tent. Glavine needs a turn off...bad..If they dont make the playoffs........

[Zvon]

That darn Howard.
A 3 run blast in the 1st.

Mets down 3-0 before they even come to the plate.

[Guest cleonjones11]

St. Louis-MFY World series..I see it coming

Some one should tell Jose - first pitch double...

[Elster88]

That lineup looks weak to me. But I still haven't been trained to think that Valentin is good.

[Zvon]

Reyes with a lead off double gets things started.

[Elster88]

Bloop hit to right for Milledge.

[Guest Iubitul]

well, that was a quick answer - 3-1...

A drive down the left field line that bounced out of play in the corner for a ground rule double.

[Elster88]

Another bloop hit, this one for Beltran, off the glove of the second baseman as he ran to his left.

[Elster88]

Nice play from Nunez saving a double down the line throws out Wright.

[Guest Iubitul]

Endy Chavez in for Floyd - it looks like Floyd got hurt on that play down the line...

[Elster88]

Chavez in for Floyd. Damn I'm glad we still have Nady.

I'm officially putting the fragile tag back on Floyd, in my own mind. He didn't even do anything on that play.

I like the quick answering back--but we really should get more than one out of this.

oh carp--what a play by Phils 3rd baseman Nunez off of Wright.

Floyd must have hurt himself on that play in the corner...Chavez in for him.
He pops out.

And we only do get 1
Ill take it-
3-1 Phools

[Elster88]

DiFelice coming out to "Burning Heart" by Survivor, available on the Rocky IV soundtrack.

[Willets Point]

Looks like Schaefer 6 is giving his all to give the Mets their best chance to win this game.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Rowand stranded at second after his one out double. Glavine gets Rollins and then Howard to fly out.

Still 3-1 Phillies with the top of the order due up for the Mets in the home half of the third.

[metirish]

Just in case you didn't know but the Colts will be playing the Rams thursday night on FOX........

[Zvon]

Wrights inches away from snappin out of that funk.

He pulled the ball hard twice today.

Both nice plays by Phils 3rd baseman Nunez.

I think Wrights locked and loaded.

[Willets Point]

That's a disturbing photoshop.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets hitters are making Lieber look like Steve Carlton. He's John Freakin' Lieber!!! The league is hitting over .300 against him this season and his ERA is over 6. Wake up and pound this pretender.

[metirish]

Have we had a hit since the first inning?

[Willets Point]

Yea, but we Glavine on the mound. He's so good he doesn't need run support.

[Zvon]

="Willets Point"]That's a disturbing photoshop.

I dont deny it.

Ugh--
Lastings with a nice diving effort but the ball wiggles out of his glove for a hit.
He really should have gotten Howard for the force at second, but he hurls the ball in like a madman and Reyes has to make his own dive to stop it, far wide of second base.

Glavine gets Coste to ground into the DP, 6-4-3.

Top of the order.

[Willets Point]

Today's mojo-shifting rally song provided by the Divinyls:

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I�m feeling down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don�t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don�t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You�re the one who makes me happy honey
You�re the sun who makes me shine
When you�re around I�m always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I�d do anything for you
I don�t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don�t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don�t want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah
