Fernando Tatis... playing with an oxygen tank in the dugout

Jerry Manuel dares to innovate! Four outfielders! Nobody at second base!

[nymr83]

ball 4 is a wild pitch but Baker is thrown out trying to come home.... very dumb move by Baker and it could have saved Pelfrey.

[nymr83]

Pelfrey strikes out Atkins to retire the Rockies and strand two!

[TransMonk]

Pelfrey skates through the first.

Manuel obviously doesn't read the Cranepool yet.

[nymr83]

if he's smart he'll avoid internet forums entirely

[Elster88]

That was a bomb.

[TransMonk]

Pelf with a nice 3rd, mowing down the top of the order.

[Elster88]

This Pelfrey guy might be pretty good.

5/31, 7 IP, 2 ER, W
6/5, 6 IP, 1 ER, L
6/11, 8 IP, 1 ER, W
6/16, 6 IP, 6 ER, W
6/22, 3 IP, 0 ER (after 3 innings)

Some notes from John Delcos:

Notebook: Ryan Church to take BP tomorrow at Shea. � Luis Castillo day-to-day with strained left thigh. � Jerry Manuel said he MUST plan not to have Moises Alou again this season. � Brian Schneider is day-to-day with a bruised left pinkie. He said he hopes to play tomorrow.

Hrrrumph.

[Guest KC]

It's maddening what people find blog-worthy. Is he even in Denver? Any of us
could have listened to the radio or watched the tv and blogged that non-info.

[bmfc1]

KC: I hope that you're not referring to me for cutting and pasting something that I thought might provoke chat. Delcos is in the press box for a NJ paper chatting live with fans. He does a great job.

I thought that was a slow-motion replay of Hawpe. Nope, it was the real thing.

[bmfc1]

The Angels, the same Angels that the Mets beat 2 of 3 in the Angels home park, just finished a three game sweep of the Phillies in Philly.

Interesting bottom of the 9th: F-Rod got the first two outs, then Feliz got on, was PR for by Bruntlett w/Rollins up, Bruntlett stole 2d, Scoscia walked Rollins (there was a 2-1 count) even though that meant putting on the winning run, then Taguchi fouled out to end it.

I know who he is, and I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to him. It's
bad enough (to me) that these guys regurgitate stuff in their columns and
beat reports that is always widely reported elsewhere but NOW they blog it
like it's cutting edge.

When Gary Cohen says, "John Delcos just reported on his blog ...." then
maybe I'll change my tune but until then, ug.

Westchester actually.

[bmfc1]

Thanks KC and Steve (too touchy on my part)--really, Westchester? I only know his work from that page. I like that he chats with fans during the game.

[Guest KC]

It says on the top of the page New York's Lower Hudson Valley.

It's part of the Gannett Empire.

Good point Kase. Its one thing when you have a column to fill on a daily basis, do you HAVE to update a blog frequently if its just for filler info?

I'd wager no, not really.

Westchester County's Journal News is the paper he works for.

[bmfc1]

Duly noted.

[Guest KC]

Cat box liner paper, unless you know someone on the police blotter
or knew someone in the obits.

[Elster88]

Pelfrey throwing lotsa balls. Maybe get him out after this inning.

[Guest KC]

Yeah, back to IGT ... Joe Smith coming in to get the last out of the sixth
with guys on first and second and two outs.

[nymr83]

or get him out during this inning.

Pelfrey done without allowing a run after 5 2/3, he walked 5.

runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs for joe smith.

[Zvon]

Two 6 inning walks seals his fate.

Manuel pulls Pelf.

Very nice outting.

Did Pelfrey stop wearing the mouth piece or did he just get a better fitting one?

I haven't seen it since he started getting better.
