lol.
I thought I saw some nice stuff on his pitches.
But your right, one out does not constitute a "cruise".

They take the tarp off, and now they put the tarp back on.

The game is supposed to resume at 5:10.-JD

Never mind that last post. As soon as they took the tarp off it started to rain again. It's back on.-JD

Anyone hear anything? I keep poking my head in here and finding some
show I never heard of on channel 11.

[Guest themetfairy]

As far as I can tell, Ryan Howard is still ankle-deep in water.

If it means anything, the storm has blown past my house. I live about 45 minutes north of Citizens Bank.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Didn't see right before the rain delay started, did Feliciano warm up?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Lunchbucket - "Blinky Madison."

KC - "One of my favorite episodes."

I hope to see an episode of Stinky Madson.

He was on the mound, ready to face Howard, when the tarp was summoned.

[Benjamin Grimm]

What happens if they never resume?

Does the entire eighth inning get wiped out, giving Perez a 7-inning CG/ShO?

Or (more likely) does it go into the books as a 7 and a half inning game? And do the Phillies stats in the bottom of the eighth count?

[Gwreck]

If they call it, it goes as a 7 inning game and the Mets stats for the top of the 8th are wiped. Yes, Perez gets the CG, SHO and W if that happens.

What a break that'd be.

Since it was a day game they'll wait a few more hours before they call it, I would think.

Rain has stopped. The field is draining. They will play again.-JD

John Delcos July 6th, 2008 at 6:48 pm

They are saying the game will resume at 7:10.-JD

Come clean, you're related to Delcos. You are Delcos. Your barber cut
Delcos' uncle's hair.

Nah, but those are excellent guesses! I just know that he keeps updating blog.

[Zvon]

Games back.
No batters box.
Hmmmmm.

[Frayed Knot]

Feliciano reverses his bad 1st-batter trend.

[Zvon]

Feliciano Ks the K-man Ryan Howard.
Heilman to face Burrell.

[bmfc1]

Burrell v. Heilman: .308, 4 for 13, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB.

[Gwreck]

The 2:50 rain delay seems to have favored Pedro Feliciano.

Let's hope Pat Burrell looks as lost as Howard did.

[Zvon]

I can't believe Burrell took that 3-2 slider.
That was exactly where I wanted to see Heilman put it.

Aaron gets a comebacker to get out of it!
WOOT

[Guest KC]

Nice work by Feliciano and Heilman. That AB to Burrell was brutal to watch
but walking him wasn't the end of the world there despite being up 1-2.

Mets need to pile on a ton o' runs NOW!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Feliciano and Heilman are getting some beer tonight. Two huge outs after the rain delay.

[Guest AG/DC]

Yay, bullpen!

Yay, three guys to get three outs!

Yay, two and a half hour half inning!

[Frayed Knot]

It would be real nice to get some more runs here
Mets have had 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 & 1 baserunners in the first 8 innings and the only one that scored was the guy who knocked himself in.

And now a baserunner to start the 9th.

[Zvon]

Way to start it Jose

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Reyes leads off the ninth with a single. Let's get some insurance runs.

[Frayed Knot]

Swing away!
Pull the damn ball and see what happens.
You might even get a hit by accident.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Reyes steals second to put himslef into scoring position.

[Zvon]

Chavez bunts him over.

Alls we need is a decent fly ball Mr. Wright.
