IGT 08/06, Phils at Mets

[Zvon]

CarlosD walks.

Ugh---Wrights swingin thru stuff like hes not seeing the pitch.
Then he gets a curve ball up and watches it for a strike.
He shoulda spanked that curve for bein bad.

[Zvon]

And David does spank one!

Down the third baseline for a double and LoDuke comes in to score.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There 'tis.

We have a lead.

Three Met hits... all doubles.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nice, second and third with Delgado scoring after the pitcher's throwing error.

Just get the run home Endy.

[Zvon]

WOW!
Mathieson gets Valentin to hit it back to him, and he throws high to 1st and Howard cant bring it down--it hits off his glove.

I think Ryan screwed up there, tho Mathieson will get the error.

Mets plate another as Delgado comes in--Wright and Val move up to 2nd and 3rd.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Walks. Bases loaded.

Show me the love, Lastings.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does it with a run-scoring single.

'Stings makes it 3-0. Cue the People.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Mets get a gift. Valentin grounds to the mound, Mathieson throws high and everyone is safe.

Announcers goig on and on about Mathieson thrwoing it away, it was a little high and wide, but it should have been caught by Howard in my opinion. He was standing with his foot on the bag and the ball went off his glove. I think Howard "heard footsteps" with Valentin closing in and didn't concentrate on the catch. Not a good throw, but if I'm scoring, I would give the error to Howard.

Let's get some more runs while we have them on the ropes.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets have batted around.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Holy guacamole!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

[Zvon]

Chavez is walked.
Lastings lines a wicked line drive single up the middle, so hard only Wright can score.

...consider me a Milledge person.

Maine strikes out and Reyes ----

I agree- maybe even two errors there (one on each), one for Val being safe and one for allowing him to get to second. Howard didnt exactly scramble after that ball.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets didn't invent the grand slam, but since the All Star break they seem to have perfected it.

HA!
yup-

After seeing a replay there I see Howard was hit pretty hard by Valentin crossing the bag......but still.

Hey, who cares, another Philly error opens up the floodgates.

Maine walks two with one out in the 5th- his pitches look like they are getting away from him.

But the Mets get out of it with a force play and a deep flyout off of Rollins bat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Zvon]

VALENTIN!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Porn Stash goes -



8-0 Mets in the 5th!

[Zvon]

A smash to deep right, gone off the bat.

Now Im not sure if I want to be a Milledge Person or one of Valentin-o's Lovers.

[Guest cooby]

That Rick White is still a handsome devil

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I think that John Maine is getting better looking all the time.

Quick, someone take the checkbook out of Omar's hands before he signs Maine to a seven year, $88 million deal.

[Zvon]

Maine thru 6.
He looked like two different pitchers that inning-
Utley hit him hard and he walked Howard.
But then he settled down and struck out Burrell and Rowand.

Bradford was up in the bullpen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Zvon]

Marrero will bat for Maine.

So,...I can say it now- Maine has a really nice lil scoreless inning streak going.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anybody know the franchise record?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Royce Ring comes into the game, and on the first pitch coughs up a home run ball to Lieberthal.

[Zvon]

OUCH--
Lieberthal rings Royce's bell.

8-1
