Gay Dame Panicky IGT, 8/30 @ Philly

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Started my four-and-a-half day weekend at noon today ... maybe I'll go
back to the office and make people miserable the rest of the afternoon.

[Willets Point]

A hard hit ball. And it's off a Met bat! Cool!

[Frayed Knot]

This is what I was afraid of (but afraid to talk about) -- that after losing several low-scoring games you're bound to run into one of those days when your starting pitcher doesn't have it ... and then you're really cooked.


Meanwhile up the turnpike ... the BoSox are continuing their experiment of not getting any hits for the first half of the game and then seeing if they can stay in it. That it didn't work yesterday doesn't seem to concern them.

[Willets Point]

It would be really exacerbating if they can get Wright to 3rd before stranding him there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Kyle Lohse? Jamie Moyer? What the hell!?

[Elster88]

I want Alou and Milledge hitting here.

[Elster88]

Or Green.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

greenie ribbie single.

[TransMonk]

Green Machine

[Elster88]

Just as I'm starting to feel a tiny bit better I see Sele warming.

[Willets Point]

Another one of them hits with runners on base would be really nice right now.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gameday say dubble, Barney Rubble.

Your moment, Ruben.

[Elster88]

You don't have MLB.TV, Ed G?

[Willets Point]

He's probably not brazen enough to watch MLB.TV at work.

[Elster88]

Oops. Work. Forgot.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

goat drives in delgado with a dribbler.

[Willets Point]

Another run is good. Still would be nice to get another hit this inning.

As Ruben came to the plate, I suddenly become brazen.

I feel like you've succumbed to peer pressure.

I hope that you have headphones and a secluded cube like me.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

difelice walks, blastings to pinch-hit for el dooky.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

rbi single for thrilledge!

[Willets Point]

Lastings I love you!

[TransMonk]

Holy crap, Lastings isn't completely useless.

[metirish]

Pulling Hernandez in the fourth?,he's got nothing huh...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sounds like a lot of Met fans in attendance.

[TransMonk]

I want 'em all back now...c'mon Jose!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Game is being managed like game seven of the WS.

Uh, he allowed five runs in three innings, including three HR's. The Phillies were crushing the ball off of him. I see no reason to keep him in the game. Especially when the Mets actually have a rally going for once and could use a pinch-hitter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Who is up for the Mets?

Will Thrilledge or Green stay in the game?
