IGT 04/08 OPENING DAY AT SHEA TODAY! HOORAY!

[Guest Triple Dee]

Victorino has no future in the NFL.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

But Victorino caught the ball? Anyone going off on a stretcher?

[metirish]

How nasty was the collision ?, Beltran , Cameron bad?

[Zvon]

On replay..meh, Ive seen far worse.

Even the Phils talking heads brought up the Hahn/Theodore one from the 70's.

They did hit solid but both are ok and the game resumes.

And yea, Shane caught and held on to the drive.

no where near.

Just hit solid at mid body and fell.

Shane was moving fast tho--Werth just came in from off camera.


OOOOO, nice piece of hitting by Delgado taking the outside curve thru the shift for a looping basehit to left.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pagan entering to the Indana Jones theme. Come on and bring back Jane Jarvis.

[Valadius]

Can we please hurry up and torch Jamie Moyer?

[Zvon]

Two on, big spot for Pagan.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Utley bobbles, bases loaded.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sounded like an error on the radio, but it's an infield single for Pagan.

Slowing down might be a good idea considering he'd retired us the first time through on about 30 pitches.

I was half listening to a radio interview with Willie a couple of days ago and he said something about Castillo having one leg shorter than the other.
Didn't catch all the details but he's definitely one of those guys who has a different style gait when he's walking as opposed to running.

[Zvon]

NICE. Ground to the hole between 1st and 2nd, Utley makes a great play, from his knees looks to get Delagado at 2nd, sees he cant. Goes for Pagan at 1st,..late.
Infield single.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I disapprove of the Washington hat Church is wearing on my Gamecast thingy.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Little grounder by Church brings the second run home.

[Guest AG/DC]

I can't imagine facing Moyer as a lefty is similar to the expeiences of facing a lefty who throws at something like a big-league speed.

Do they walk Schneider?

[Benjamin Grimm]

IBB for Schneider.

The Phillies don't fear Oliver Perez's bat.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Schneid has the same hat.

[Zvon]

Church with a weak grounder to 2nd- only play is to 1st.

Mets plate a run.

Phils will walk Schneider intentionally.

[Guest AG/DC]

Make him pay in blood, Ollie.

[nymr83]

were i the phillies i'd have pitched to schneider.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He's gotta do it now so he can clear the Reyes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Castillo out of the game, Easley in.

[Guest AG/DC]

How about that?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Maybe I wasn't just hating.

[Guest AG/DC]

It would have been a good game to start the Omen anyhow.

[Valadius]

What's wrong with Castillo? Why's he out of the game?

[Zvon]

Single and a walk puts two Phils on.
Perez was all over the place facing Moyer. Inexcusable.

One out,Rollins up.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Perez seems to be losing the plate.

Walked Moyer, now behind on Rollins.

"Right knee soreness."
