W. Fun: Mets-Phils IGT (Game 2) 6/29

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

If we didn't win Game 1 I gave us 0% chance to win this one. Totally different outlook now.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

According to Gameday, Beltran just flied out to Burrell somewhere in the left field stands beyond the 365' sign.

Reyes and LoDuca manning 2nd and first respectively with one out and Mr. Wright hitting.

[Frayed Knot]

Beltran's was at the warning track.
I thought he had it at first.

[Farmer Ted]

Missed the early innings. Hamels got chicken shit pitching to Duke?

[Frayed Knot]

Just your run of the mill walk.
Wouldn't be too smart if he decided to bean him with his first pitch. Kind of asking for an ejection/suspension there.

[metirish]

Fuck Hamels,what a wanker he is.......darling was certain that Hamels was throwing at Reyes.

[Elster88]

Terrible job on the steal there by Bourne, on both ends. Lo Duca one hopped the ball, and instead of just jumping on it Reyes tries to stab at it while falling backwards. Into center it goes.

[Elster88]

And the sac fly drives him in. Reyes really should've knocked that ball down.

I thought they were going to bring Pelfrey up for this game. Is he going tomorrow?

No need to with the rain out last night,Hermnandez went today,the Philly right fielder can play defence.

Ah. Makes sense. Poor Pelfrey!

[soupcan]

Easley KABOOMS with Wright on second.

Metskies 5-1.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wags again, only in a non-save situation.

[Guest attgig]

what makes it a save or a non-save situation? I could've sworn that I've seen a game where there was a save with a 4 run difference.

and now that a run came in, does it make it a save situation?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

You can't create your own.

It's a save situation for Joe Smith, that's for sure.

Getting sweaty

[Guest attgig]

is anyone in the pen getting ready?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Burrell as the tying run.

[Guest attgig]

hopefully no flasbacks of the last time they met

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Big day for the Mets. Maine may have also locked up an All-Star appearance tonight.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Billy says, "Flashback this!" As he strikes out Burrell to end the game.

Sweeping a doubleheader on the road against your nearest pursuer is sweet.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A four-run lead can still be a save situation if you enter with the tying run at bat or on deck.

The best thing about this game is that the Phils can't go forward with the attitude that Cole Hamels has the Mets number or anything.

He's just a man.

True dat!

Phillies woke up yesterday morning hoping to end the day 1 game out.

Instead they're FIVE games out!

A good day for the Mets.

Hopefully they'll win at least one of the next two to keep it at 5. Even better, of course, winning both would put the Phillies at 7 and they'd be off our radar screens, at least for a while.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's a good thing we waited a day to replace Hernandez with Vargas.
