Nice 1st inning:

Reyes - 2B
Church - 1B (though Reyes didn't advance, he thought it was caught)
Wright - 2-RBI 2B


Perez = 1-2-3 inning GO, K, FO

It's a good thing Willie didn't sac bunt Church. Otherwise, Church probably wouldn't have gotten on base and wouldn't have come around to score the Mets second run. So here's an example of how the sac would have cost the Mets one run.

[nymr83]

It takes a diving catch by Werth to keep Wright from getting on base for the 9th straight plate appearence

[nymr83]

Perez gets Howard to fly out wit the tying runs on base to end the 5th. still 2-0 mets. where is everyone?

[stevejrogers]

Actually Lefty was signed by the Giants, played with them for about a month and got his 4,000 strikeout with them. Also played for the White Sox that year, after Seaver was traded actually!

[nymr83]

Bruntlett works out a 14-pitch walk and that'll end Perez's day. 5 2/3 no runs so far but responsible for the runners on 1st and 2nd with Rollins coming to the plate as a pinch hitter, he'll hit for Jamie Moyer who is also done for the day, and will face Duaner Sanchez.

on edit: i have to shrink that other one down and change the year.

[nymr83]

Utley homers off Shitweis, but the Mets still lead by 3 thanks to the Reyes HR

[Zvon]

....that damn Utley smacks one.

4-1 us.

[Guest Grote15]

Delgado saves a Wright airmail and no Heilman

Yes!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets go quietly in the home half of the 8th inning. Hopefully, the Phillies will be kind enough to do the same in the home half of the inning.

[Guest Grote15]

Pedro F the other White Meat

[nymr83]

Feliciano loads the bases and on comes heilman...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The bullpen is "trying" to give this game away. Come on Heilman!

[Zvon]

Someone should'a caught that Dobbs pop up.
Beltran, waltzing in to get it on a bounce.

And Church maybe should'a made that catch down the line.
Ill let that one slide--he ran a long way just to touch it.

Feliciano walks that other shortstop and looks like its gonna be Heilman to hold em....

Bases loaded...

[Zvon]

OW, .......I think Pagan should have made that catch too, tho it woulda been a real nice grab.

RBI soft single for Ruiz.

[nymr83]

Heilman saves the day.

[Zvon]

WHEW.

Two HUGE Ks by Aaron.
GJ guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Heilman (temporarily) shuts up his critics with a (shoulda been caught) bloop, followed by two straight Ks against the not-inconsequential duo of Jenkins & Werth

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

That inning could have been much worse, but Heilman quiets the Phillies uprising.

[Guest Grote15]

Aaron saves the day....Hey! I always loved him..well..I do like his scowl..I wouldn't steal his Guiness

[Guest OlerudOwned]

That ball had baaaad intentions.

[Theoldmole]

As long as it stays in the park....

[Theoldmole]

Ryan Howard hitting .185? And we're complaining about first basemen?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

...barely.

[Theoldmole]

One strike to go...

[nymr83]

the bullpen provides a heart attack, but wagner shuts the door! 4-2 mets win and we're on a legit winning streak!

[Frayed Knot]

Wagner in 2008: 25 batters, 1 walk, 24 outs.

[Guest Grote15]

Hey Burrell..stick a bat up your ass! Fuck Philly!

Great job men...and Aaron you too!
