Phils @ Mets IGT 4/11/07

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I figure to be on a roll since starting the home opener thread.

Adam Eaton is 3-0 in 3 career appearances against the Mets, all while pitching for the Padres, last in 2004. One of the games was the 16-1 blowout that featured Derek Bell pitching in sunglasses for the Mets.

Eaton was once a Phillies first-round draftee then was traded to SD for Andy Ashby in a very stupid deal for the Phillies: Ashby lasted only half a season in Philly while Eaton, maybe not a great pitcher, turned into a very passable end-of-the-rotation guy. He was once teammates with tonight's counterpart, Oliver Perez.

[Benjamin Grimm]

A win tonight and tomorrow, with the Nationals coming in to town over the weekend, and this season could be off to an outstanding start.

I hope Oliver and the boys can keep the ball rolling.

[Gwreck]

I'm predicting Delgado's first homer tonight.

Rain should hold off until well after the game is over.

The second game of the year traditionally has the lowest paid attendance all year but judging by what tickets were available, I may not be able to pull off the self-upgrade I was planning on for tonight.

Some cracking info there JD,Bell had a decent off-speed pitch IIRC.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Kooz throws the first pitch, that smile made my (oft times crappy) day.

Hey Oliver - THROW AN EFFING STRIKE.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bases loaded.

Five Perezian walks.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Oh boy.

[Zvon]

Perez walks in the 1st run of the game.

Ugh.

[Zvon]

....this is disgusting.

Hey! A strike--wooohooo.

*Z does a lil dance.

[nymr83]

disaster.

[seawolf17]

THROW A FUCKING STRIKE.

[Zvon]

And Willie will hang Perez out to dry, as is his wont.

Come on--get him outta there.

[seawolf17]

SUNUVABITCH.

THROW A FUCKING STRIKE.

[Zvon]

Yea,...why not hit him.
At least thats more exciting.

They say Willie doesnt show his emotions but thats not the 1st time Ive seen his lips pursed in disgust.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Pathetic.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Jeez, he looks like he wanted to (or was) crying as Willie was coming out
to get him after hitting someone to boot.

We'll get 'em again in five days, brother.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Crash.

Burn.

[seawolf17]

Welcome back, Zvon. Long time no see.

You could see he was overthrowing; he wasn't going to throw strikes any more.

Not that I'm excited about Aaron Sele either.

[TransMonk]

Any confidence gained by the nice performance in ATL is probably dashed for Perez now.

Golly, Ollie, that was awful.

Hate to see that

[Benjamin Grimm]

I knew it was overly optimistic to say that Perez had "figured it out."

Hopefully there won't be too many outings like this one, but there very well might be.

Get well soon, Pedro.

[seawolf17]

That's the problem with Perez. When he's good, he's unhittable; but when he's awful, he's AWFUL.

It's only three runs... could have been a lot worse. He could have thrown a strike and had someone belt one into the gap.

I like your attitude kid.

Thanks Seawolf. Glad to see all of you again.

Lets get those runs back.

[Zvon]

Beltran with a nice double to lead off the 4rth.

Come on Big Daddy.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

And maybe it wouldn'ta hurt so much had we not boned ourselves up the pooper in he first inning.
