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

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dobbs for Moyer
Show for Smith
So for Dobbs

[Zvon]

So I can call Schoeneweis Show?

I like.

Cuz the odds of me spelling his name right again are gazillion to one.
(Cut and pasted the one above^)

[smg58]

Show faces three straight righties and gets one out. Now he faces Utley and Howard with one out and two on.

[smg58]

And he promptly plunks Utley to load the bases. I don't think anybody's warming up, either.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think I heard that Sosa is throwing.

[HahnSolo]

3 HBPs for Utley today?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm getting September flashbacks.

A double play grounder turns into a hit runner and two runs coming home.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think we got to start aiming for his privates

[Zvon]

3rd time today Chase has been kerplunked.

GAH!

Delgado gets a DP grounder and his throw hits Utley in the back.

2 runs score.

Tie game.

[stevejrogers]

Oi vey!

[metirish]

Schoeneweis didn't need that right there, nor did we but this guy needed a good outing.

[metsmarathon]

clearly we are not hitting utley hard enough...

[stevejrogers]

Its like an extension of the last few months of last season (oh the collapse started back in June-ish when it seems the Mets were playing like the division was just going to be handed to them.)

[Frayed Knot]

Sosa and Endy in on a double-switch.
Shoeneweis and Pagan out.

[Zvon]

Burrell has had a hot opening this season, with 3 homers and 9 RBI, but the Mets have kept him in check thus far.

Sosa gets him to hit a deep fly to right and runner on 2nd tags up.

[Frayed Knot]

So, considering that it's already the 7th inning, why Schoeneweis and not Feliciano?
PF has made one appearence so far this season and it was for 1 inning in the 13-0 blowout. This was Show's 4th outing.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And a single brings the go-ahead run home.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I've been wondering what injury he's hiding.

[Zvon]

Ugh, Werth with a single to right off a good pitch.
He went out and got it and just poked it to right.

Phils take the lead.

[stevejrogers]

Yup new season, same Mets.

How soon before "Willie Must Go!" chants start at Shea?

[Guest Number 6]

Schoeneweis pitching in a high leverage situation to 3 consecutive right-handers is something I hope I don't see much this season.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If the Mets win this game, it will be a nice rousing victory.

If they lose, it's going to be a big stink hovering over their heads. Everyone will be convinced that the Phillies have them spooked.

This probably won't be such a happy Seventh Inning Stretch here.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I think I'm done with baseball for the season. This is painful.

Yes, but the situation called for Feliciano, not him.

[stevejrogers]

Yeah, not even Lazy Mary will fire up the crowd this time!

[metirish]

Only Rick Astley can save this day now.

The collapse started when Rickey Henderson stunk up the World Series in 1990.

I think Edgy should create a new section.
Call it "GET DOWN WITH STEVE".

If Feliciano is available, having Schoeneweis pitching in that situation is inexcusable.

[Guest sharpie]

My boss came in to my office and I had to turn off the radio just as Schoeneweis came in. Radio is now back on and Schneider leads off with a single. She better not come back in here.
