Taxman! IGT (04/17), Mets at Phils

[Guest Kid Carsey]

One, two, three, four...
Hrmm!
One, two, (one, two, three, four!)

Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

Taxman!

'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

And you're working for no one but me.

Taxman!

[Willets Point]

Apparently Billy Joel didn't write songs about taxes.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Maz talking Yanks/Sox in the pre-game ... I knew it would take long for
some of the pinstripes to start bleeding out.

[Willets Point]

Is there baseball being played?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets up 2-1 on a Moises Alou homer. We're in the top of the fourth.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Beltran sez:

Suck on that, Uncle Sam!

Big hit!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

He knocks in Glavine with a double after Castro's singe.

Lo Duca started. What happened to him?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Come on David, three dependents on the basepaths.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What? And ruin his Juan Pierre-iffic .341 / 0 homers / 0 RBI line?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Dookie took an Utley foul ball off his right hand. Direct hit, looked like a shot on the thumbone. He stayed behind the dish for the rest of the inning but then bailed.

[metirish]

Wright doesn't look right.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Damn, David.

Sandy Alomar and the Zephyrs are in New Orleans against Indianapolis tonight. This could be the first big test on whether the Mets can get an emergency sub onto the team on time.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I'm still satisfied to get 1 out of that inning, seeing as it took 3 hits.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Double by Rollins and a walk to Victorino and the tying run is at the plate.

Does the Met pen have it again tonight?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dasterdly Utley goes down on a called strike down the pipe.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let me tell you how I made that nickname up...

[Guest Edgy DC]

And Howard swinging.

Yeah, baby, yeah!

[Batty31]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....Met killer is up. I don't think I can look.

[metirish]

Glavine is dealing..

[Batty31]

Popped it up! I can breathe now.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Very impressive for Glavvie. Not to get presumptuous, but 3 wins by tax day is a pretty good srtart to the Magic 10.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Alou with some double happiness.

[Batty31]

WHOA! Dinger number 2 for Alou!!!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Moises has just parted a red sea of fans in left field.

My word. Right into the wind. Nice signing, Omar.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

ALOOOOOOOO

(I gotta find an image to adopt the old fart)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Another awful at-bat by Shawn Green results in a double.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

That'll catch up with him.

[Batty31]

No comment on that one.....

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Sandy Senior is hardly drenched in glory tonight.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

If that was actually a squeeze play, is it the first Willie's ever called?
