W. Pleasure: Mets-Phils IGT (Game 1)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Delgado scores the knockout punch.

Jacobs, Petit, and Psomas are going to have to have a good day or Minaya will win the day on the trade.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, get posting. Philly's got a rally going here, with one in (Coste homers?), two on, and Rowand up.

[Frayed Knot]

Ducky walks two with two outs making for the first tightrope walking spot of the day for him.
Rowland up, two on, two out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That knockout punch doesn't look as final as it may have seemed.

The Phillies are getting up off the mat.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, he knocked the starter out.

This is baseball. It still takes 27 outs to win.

Except, you know, Wednesday.

[Frayed Knot]

Aaaah, he was just toying with them.

[Guest Edgy DC]

On that note, Rowand fans.

Seven on the day for the 33+-year-old Orlando Hernandez.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Okay, Rowand fanned.

Sigh of relief.

Mets still lead by 4 with three innings left to play.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Looks like Hernandez threw 29 pitches that inning.

[metirish]

Clay Condrey is pitching for the Phills....doesn't sound like much of a pitcher,going strictly on his name I am.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Should Hernandez pitch the 7th?

6, 7, and 8 hitters due up for the Phillies.

Let's see...

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope, Mota is in. No double switch. Mota's due up third in the 8th inning.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Two-run homer for Wes Helms.

If Valadius was here, this would be his post:

]FUCK!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Note to self: No Schaefer for Mota today.

[Centerfield]

Gamecast tells me Rollins almost went deep. Bad Mota.

Let's score 11 runs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

< spontaneous reaction >Mota's two year deal was worse than Schoeneweis' three-year deal< /spontaneous reaction >

[Benjamin Grimm]

7th inning ends 6-4. Coming up for the Mets: Wright, Delgado, Green.

A run or two this inning would be nice. A little breathing room would be nice, with Utley and Howard due up next inning.

[metirish]

Rollins flied out to Green to end the inning..

[Guest Edgy DC]

Time for the old triple, Carlos.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

We gotta stop getting caught stealing, like Reyes, or jogging into DPs, like Beltran/. Phils have too much O.

[Frayed Knot]

I have no clue who any of these Philly pen guys are.


Meanwhile, our pen was the main pack o' culprits during the 3-game sweep they had at our place last time.
We need more runs.

[Centerfield]

Isn't "Mike Zagurski" Billy Crysal's character's name in Monsters, Inc.?

[Centerfield]

This phucking sucks.

[Centerfield]

What the fuck. You don't walk Michael Fucking Bourn in front of Utley and Howard.

[Frayed Knot]

Feliciano in on the double switch (Gomez in for Green) and promptly decides to walk the light hitting lefty in front of the big boys.

[metirish]

Feliciano walks the first guy he faces.....FUCK.

[metirish]

Utley flies out to Gomez..Peterson to the mound.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, he gets Utley.
Howard's going to be the last batter Pedro sees one way or the other.
The pitcher's slot is up after that and Burrell is on the bench. Gotta bring Smith in for him.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Phear not phor Pheliciano. Utley phlies to the phence.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Howard phlies to left. Burrell in to PH. Heilman on the way in.
