IGT 9/15/07 - Mets vs. Phillies

[Valadius]

Oh good lord.

[Zvon]

="Edgy DC"]Tuning my guitar, look back up and the game is tied. Must've been the tuning.

I think I'll go get mine.

Gonna write a song called "I Don't Like Sosa's Facial Expression Or Body Language".

Wanna hear it?

Here it go...

[Valadius]

Now Yahoo's gone into fast catch-up mode on the game.

[Valadius]

But Pete LaForest sucks! GAHHHHH...

[Zvon]

Jeeze--those were strikes last night.
Whats that guy in dark suit doing behind the plate?....oh.



NOOOOOOOOO!

NOT NOW BELTRAN!!
DON"T MIS-PLAY A FLY BALL NOW!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It seems as if the Phillies have become the new Braves. The one divisional foe that we just can't seem to beat.

[Valadius]

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

Willie... a word of advice. When a relief pitcher WALKS Pete LaForest, you take him the fuck OUT!!!

[Zvon]

Schoeneweis's first appearance in a coons age.

[Zvon]

Hey...

I see now...I know what the Mets are doing.

They would rather see the Phillies in the playoffs than the Padres.

Hey,...I like this strategy.

[Valadius]

Bring in Ramon Castro!

[Valadius]

We need Blastings Killedge to do something here.

[Valadius]

And Blastings does nothing.

[Zvon]

<<
I tried to make his hat more blue and its ends up looking like a powdered it.

Gah.

[Valadius]

Hey, Z, aren't there a few top-50-ish avatars that are missing? Like Reyes, Trachsel, Glavine perhaps? I know some are missing, but I'm not sure which ones.

They have all been submitted.
I was Reyes the other day and no av. *sob*

To Edgy: I should add a fielding action shot of Reyes on that.

[Zvon]

Come on! We can rally here!

[Zvon]

UGH!!!
Fuckin ridiculous!
DAMN UMPS!

That was so outside!!!!!

And the lead-off guy---WTF!?

[Zvon]

...and Anderson gets hurled.

Reyes draws the walk.

[Valadius]

Again, I'm gonna throw it out there: Tim Donaghy.

[Zvon]

Reyes gets a SB on that indifferent take of 2nd.
Infield single by Castillo.

David Wright.

[Valadius]

Yahoo froze again after the Anderson K, so I dunno what's going on.

[Zvon]

Wright K'd.
Was a good pitch--he was pissed.

Beltran flew out to right.
Game ovah!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Just getting here.

Our bullpen is becoming a disaster.

[Zvon]

Phils have beaten the Mets for the 7th time in a row.

That was their 45th comeback win, and that currently leads the league in that department.

[Valadius]

Goddammit!!!

Why can't we protect a freaking lead once in a while?

[Zvon]

Pedro pitched a fantastic game, and thats what Im gonna take away from this.
Looking for anything else would drive me maaaaaaaaaad!

[Zvon]

Zvon none play of the game:

Our bullpen has been a disaster all year.

[Zvon]

Fortunately Alou kept his hitting streak going.

Unfortunately he only had one hit, and it was an infield single.

Fortunately we held that damn Utley at bay.

Unfortunately Rowand stepped up and had a great game.

Fortunately we stole 6 bases.

Unfortunately we were thrown out 3 times, one crucial, in my book.

Fortunately we got to test Feliciano for 2 innings.

Unfortunately he FAILED that test, and we have no pitcher to fill that type of gap, so it seems.
(He did have a fantastic one inning though, striking out the side, the heart of the Phillies order. I don't consider that fortunate. That was just damn good pitching.)

Fortunately Schoeneweis looked real good in 0.2 innings.

Unfortunately, we need pitchers that can go longer when needed, and he's still Schoeneweis.

Fortunately I'm having fish for dinner.

Unfortunately I don't have enough to feed you all.
