IGT 09/16/07 - Phillies @ Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

C'mon Betran. Follow your cutoff man.

[Zvon]

Sac fly by Helms.

Beltran allows Werth to tag from 1st to 2nd by throwing to third to try and get Howard, which wasn't going to happen.

They reload the bases by intentionally walking Ruiz.

If Perez walks Eaton with the bases loaded I will be livid.

[TransMonk]

The Mets collectively have their heads up their asses today.

[Valadius]

I wish I had beer. I need a drink.

[bmfc1]

Does anything go our way?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I hat the Mets.

Which doesn't make today a-typical.

[Zvon]

you have GOT to be kiddin me!

Burrell makes a GREAT catch in left. FLUKE ALERT!
He looked like a blind man running from a bee.

Yes, sometimes... let's see if they can take advantage.

[Valadius]

Come on, Jose... make up for the fuck-up...

[Zvon]

[Valadius]

Reyes walks, and the bases are loaded. Here's Castillo.

[Zvon]

what a play by J-Roll!

Almost a DP but we are spared that.

[Valadius]

Castillo gets one in on a fielder's choice, and now David Wright is at the plate with runners at the corners.

And David flies out.

[Zvon]

We get one back.
We should have gotten more. Rollins robbed us.


This might not be the best time to bring it up, but Jimmy Rollins could become the first player in
major league history to hit 40 doubles, 20 triples,30 home runs, and steal 30 bases in one season.

These are things I hope to see from Reyes someday.

[Zvon]

That can't be a triple!
Error on Alou.
How did he not catch that!??

He was right there!
Theres got to be a word to describe what that was,...Alou planting under a fly ball and not catching it.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

]Theres got to be a word to describe what that was

Plenty of words, but I try to keep my posts PG-rated.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Error is a good enough word.

David Wright, if it helps, that's your MVP trophy Utley is grabbing at.

[bmfc1]

The MVP is Rollins. He opened his mouth and backed it up.

No comment.

But If I was going to comment Id say yes, if any Phil should get it, considering the last few weeks, considering the gaps where the Phils did not have Utley and Howard, it is J-Roll.

He's been doin the do.

Great catch by Beltran to close the Phils 4th.
And Beltran will lead it off.

[Valadius]

Beltran at the plate... at least according to Yahoo.

[Valadius]

Come on Moises, make it 20 games!!!

[MFS62]

The way this team is playing in this series, I'm getting flashbacks to the 1962 Mets.
Yeah, I know. The Mets killed LA during the regular '88 season, then LA won the playoff series.
But I don't see the Mets being able to beat Philly should they meet in the playoffs this year.
Just saying.

Later

[Valadius]

20 games!!!!!!

[Valadius]

Dookie sacs in Beltran!

Endy at the plate now.

[Valadius]

Can someone figure out the last time we had 4 errors in a game?

[Zvon]

How about the last time Reyes had 2 errors on one play?
Add resulting in 2 runs if you want.

The most the Mets had in a game in '06 was 3 (4 times).
The most in a game was 7 (8/1/96 v Pittsburgh).

[Zvon]

Perez up to 115 pitches.

[Valadius]

Come on, Oliver!
