IGT 09/14, Phillies at Mets

[Zvon]

Glavines done, and Feliciano will face that damn Chase Utley with Rollins on 1st.

[Willets Point]

Good night Old Fart.

[Willets Point]

That was positively Piazzaesque.

[Zvon]

Gets two quick strikes on Chase, and Rollins steals second....

and Reyes makes a real nice play on the Utley grounder towards the hole--he was blinded by J-Roll there, but played it flawlessly.
Big play, big out.

Feliciano gets it done.
Still tied.

Wow, this is just a great game so far.

[Zvon]

Milledge is hit by an inside pitch to lead off the 8th.

[Willets Point]

Milledge should storm the mound and hop on one leg.

[Zvon]

I think he did toss his bat there.
CHING$$CHING$$

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

This is where I'd squeeze.

[Zvon]

1st and 3rd, one out.

Maybe Gomez messing up that bunt will turn out well for us.
So far, so good.
He switched places with Milledge on the force out, stole second, and Reyes beat out and infield single to Utley.

[nymr83]

send Reyes...they wouldnt dare throw to 2nd with 1 out and Gomez on 3rd

[nymr83]

damn, Castillo struck out?? he can't hit the ball out of the infield! his entire game is contact, just make some!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That's his major drawback right there. Even if he does make contact, no guarantee ghe hits it far enough even to score a fast guy.

Squeeze is risky but I'd have tried it.

[Zvon]

="Nymr83"]send Reyes...they wouldnt dare throw to 2nd with 1 out and Gomez on 3rd

You are soooo correct sir.

[nymr83]

Gordon hits Wright on the 1st pitch he throws...fear of the MVP i think!

make him pay Beltran!

[Zvon]

Wow--they plunk Mr Wright.

Bags chucked for Beltran.

[Valadius]

Bases loaded for Mr. Beltran. Make it count!

[Zvon]

Thats a big spot to K in Mr Beltran.

He did wave over a nice pitch, a pitchers pitch.

My pain continues.

Wags coming in to the tied game.

[Willets Point]

Damn MLB.tv crashed with the bases loaded. How did the Mets not score a run there?

[Valadius]

Hopefully Alou will come up big next inning. And you guys all owe Mr. 18-game-hitting-streak some overdue Schaefer points.

[Zvon]

="Willets Point"]Damn MLB.tv crashed with the bases loaded. How did the Mets not score a run there?

Alls I can say is at least CarlosBee didnt just stand there and look at it. He swung for strike 3.

Wagner Ks Burrell and Howard and is 0-2 on Rowand...

...STRIKE 3!

[Willets Point]

Wagner is a tragic opera for the Phillies batters.

[Valadius]

A 3-K inning from Wagner!

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

]Damn MLB.tv crashed with the bases loaded. How did the Mets not score a run there?

Simple: Bunting is for losers.

[Zvon]

Conine bats against Gordon in the 9th.
Hmmmm...

He Ks.

[Zvon]

THEY JUST TOSSED LODUCA!!

I COULD HEAR EVERYTHING HE SAID ABOUT THAT PITCH!
ALL HE SAID WAS "THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE!"THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE!"

And they toss him.
!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!???

[Willets Point]

It's always nice to be without your starting catcher in extra innings.

[Valadius]

One of Tim Donaghy's buddies?

[Zvon]

And LoDuca would have caught that pop up.
So that freakin ump might end up deciding this great game.

Heilman throws it into center.
Phils sac.
2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

[Willets Point]

Poo!

[Zvon]

LoDuke was walking away from the box and the ump as he said "THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE! and I am still livid he was tossed.

Phils plate one on a sac fly by Dobbs.

But thats all they will get.

Mets have to reach Myers to keep this thing going.
