Everyone needs to be a monster then....
the Mets need to be a house of horrors to all other post season teams.

And they can be that----we've seen it.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I like this Delgado.

[MFS62]

David Wright is not having a nice day.

Later

[Elster88]

Wright: 0-3 with 3 Ks.

Note to morons: Please don't blame the HR derby.

[Zvon]

Even tho Wright hasnt been totally dry, he looks lost up there at the plate.
You know he's gonna snap out of it............eventually.

[Zvon]

Vanentin is out and Woody is in for him at second.
Some speculation he may have injured himself on the bases that last half, running into Utley on the Milledge double play.
They didnt collide or anything, but he may have tried to stop short and quick to avoid the tag.
No replay-----but live it looked like he just ran straight into Utleys tag.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Vamos Carlos AND the other one! Wow.

I agree about Zvon's Ka-Booms - they're magnificent.

And I hope that Porn Stash is ok.

6-2 Mets after five innings.

[Zvon]

Maine is quietly pitching a fine game.
Hope this shuts up the reporters who say he's not a good arm to count on from here on out.
He's no fluke-the kid can pitch.

It won't.

Thanks SK.
I think the whole concept of the kaboom post makes the IGTs more interactive fun for the fans.


Wright makes a GREAT diving snag of Victoinos chopper down the third base line, but cant throw him out.

And that DAMN pesky Utley hits a really nice pitch by Maine, high and outside, for a bloop single to center.
He had no business touching that pitch with his bat, and just flicked it out there.

And Howard JUST misses one to center. Beltran hauls it in on the track.

[Elster88]

Bottom 6TH B:0 S:0 O:0
New York Mets third baseman Jose Valentin left the game due to an injured leg.

[Centerfield]

Ryan Howard trying to ruin my day.

Exhale.

Eh? I'm assuming they mean second baseman, unless Wright is DHing today.

Second, can someone share what happened for those of us stuck with a GameCast?

[MFS62]

Valentin's injury was described a few posts back.

I was really getting nervous in that last inning. I had to remind myself to exhale.

Whenever Utley and Howard come to bat in the same inning against the Mets I hold my breath.

[Zvon]

Wow---thats almost nicer to see than the homers--
Delgado rips a wicked line drive by 1st base, in the hole -
its hit so hard Dellucci slides to cut it off from the wall, and he kicks it into the corner.
Beltran scores easily- and as of now Delgado is credited with a triple.

[soupcan]

Radio sez - Valentin: strained hammy.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Keith was livid that Delgado was credited with a triple on that play - he thought it was a single and that Delucci committed an error on the play.

He was a catcher. What does he know about running?
(Yeah, I know. He stole home in a world Series game. )

...thats how I saw it.
Not complaining tho.

Maine gives up two singles to lead off the Phils 7th, and he'll make way for Chad Bradford.

[Zvon]

Really---I mean really nice 3 pitch strike out by Bradford of the pinch hitter Rowand.

He gets Rollins to pop out to Wright-

Victorino smacks a grounder off of Chads leg for an infield single.
Bradford saved a run with the deflection to Delgado---
Mets go to the bullpen for Feliciano.

I dont think Chad was hurt at all by the grounder--I think that Feliciano was coming in to face Utley in any case.

Bases loaded for the Phils- 2 out.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Feliciano strikes out Utley. Whew!

7-2 Mets going to the 8th!

[Zvon]

Feliciano strikes out Utley!

He had him chase the 2nd strike out of the zone, as Utley tried to check his swing, and froze him with a low curve ball for strike 3.
He was lookin fastball all the way.
Great job by the pen.

[MFS62]

And for his good work, Willie pinch hits Franco for Feliciano.
Hey, its two outs.
Why not let him bat for hinmself and then face Howard, who is first up in the bottom of the inning?

(shameless second guess)

Later

[Zvon]

I guess all the talk of Castros death have been greatly exaggerated.
He pitches a 1-2-3 iniing for the Phils.

Maybe not '62.

Howard smacks Heilmans 1st pitch for a single to center.

Much like the death of Franco.

[Zvon]

Burrell strikes out to a LOUD chorus of boos.

Pats gone on record saying hes not happy with the new Phillies outfield rotation stratagy since the Abreu trade. Thinks he should be playing everyday.

I guess he dont get it-- the Phils were tryin to move him harder than Abreu--no one wanted him.
