IGT: June 30, 2007: Happy Happy Joy Joy- Mets @ Phils.

[Frayed Knot]

Let's fire the hamstring coach.

[Guest martin]

shit!

maine running for him? that is kinda weird.

[Zvon]

This is the last thing we need.

Oh, and YEA--put Maine in to run--thats nice.

Lets lose two starters in one day 8-/

[TransMonk]

Schoeneweis warms up!

Why is Aaron Sele on this team?

[Zvon]

Maybe I should leave now so my jinx complex doesnt get any worse than it already is.

Cuz if the Mets lose this game-I will need a shrink.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think when Omar drew it up, Show was the guy they wanted to face Howard while protecting a Met lead.

For the occasional blow-out game or when you need someone early in the game to go multiple innings. Not in the 6th of a 2-run game vs an LHB like Howard.

[Frayed Knot]

This Dobbs guy in at least a generation too young to have his teammates nickname him 'Trooper'

[Guest OlerudOwned]

It's feasible to only pitch Schoeneweis during road games, right?

[Frayed Knot]

Schoeneweis keeps that road ERA pristine.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Willie's ability to feas may surprise us.

I'd sure like to score a half-dozen runs this inning.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

FK: >>>Let's fire the hamstring coach<<<

HOW could this happen on a team with this payroll. DON'T they properly
coach the pitchers NOT to bust it down the LINE???? PLUS, WHO THE
FART is stretching these players OUT??? I WANT HIM GONE TODAY!!!

(there will be someone on WFAN saying this tonight at 2.30 am while we
are sleeping)

[Zvon]

Hey--so far so good

Thats home/away ERA stat that Schoeneweis owns this season is wack.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Beltran is on FIRE!!!

[Zvon]

[Frayed Knot]

OMG Rowland almost got that one!!

[Guest martin]

that was almost the play i have been waiting my whole life to see, the catch by an outfielder who falls over the fence.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Well, you can't fault Rowand for not trying. I mean, holy crap.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Rowand is Teh Awesomeness.

[Zvon]

It was a valiant effort.

But I have to say that Ive seen alot of Philly games on TV, and theres no doubt that Rowand has not been the same centerfielder he was before he made that fantastic catch/collision with the wall off Nady last year.

This drive off Beltran was right in the thick part of his glove, and there was a day he makes that catch.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Nice inning for Heilman.

[nymr83]

Phillies are 6 losses from becoming the first sports franchise to ever lose 10,000 games. nice.

Gomez just got hit by a pitch and Jose Mesa is back on the mound for philly, wow i thought that guy was retired.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Gomez plunked, I love how FOX has a quick shot on que for both dugouts.
He needs to be thrown at another time or two, I like the way he just ran quickly
down to first. I dig this guy.

[Zvon]

Mesa throws a heavy fastball too.
Thats gonna leave a mark.

And that Gomez kid just shrugs it off like its a bug bite. Hey--I like him.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Lost his green quick too.

[Zvon]

So thats 9 HRs for the Mets in the last 3 games?--Including 4 by Beltran?

Wowsers.
This is what I like to see.
Especially vs. the Phools.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Would any of youse like to get in Lo Duca's way once he's motorin'?

[Zvon]

lol.
He runs like a fat man but if you noticed, his breathing was not even labored.
Those legs might be slow but they are solid.

[Zvon]

WOOHOOOO.
Double play ends it.
Color me happy

Is that a HR or an out if that happens?

What an amazing almost catch by Rowand.
