Spirit of 7/6: Mets @ Phils

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I hate the sac bunt. Pull the ball and you advance Reyes and as Knot said, you just might even get a hit and RBI.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yes! Beltran drives home Reyes for an insurance run!

[Frayed Knot]

And now Wright Ks and the gain from the sac bunt is out the window.

But Beltran singles as I type and brings the run in!

[Zvon]

BIG 2 out rbingle by Beltran

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

This is one of those times where Beltran's speed comes into play. Because if say Delgado was still in the cleanup spot, the sac bunt would prompt me to int. walk Wright and go for the DP.

Instead, Wright probably got the semi-int. walk (except he struck out instead).


Upon edit: Damn, I'm always a batter behind with Gameday. I guess I should pay to actually see the games, but I feel like I spend too much time at the computer now.

[Guest KC]

Delgado is just a suckah for that low breaking stuff inside. A suckah.

[Frayed Knot]

Might have gotten a break on that call.

2 down

Mutha-Fucka

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fucking Wagner.

[Gwreck]

Good thing we got that insurance run, I guess.

[Zvon]

Frakin Jason Werth.

[apmorris]

All-Star!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wagner is the worst. What a looooser.

[seawolf17]

I don't like Jayson Werth. I'd bet he's a .300 hitter against us easily.

[Zvon]

A slider right over the heart of the plate to Werth.

Right over the heart of the plate.

Why Wags, WHY?

[Gwreck]

Lost in the Wagner mess is the news that CC Sabathia has been traded to the Brewers.

[Frayed Knot]

And now we've got the bottom of our lineup due up, the middle of theirs, and the best part of our pen is spent.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I feel partly to blame, not as much as Wagner, but partly. I'm the one, that during the rain delay, said I wanted to see an episode of Stinky Madson.

[Zvon]

We are not gonna run for Schneider here?

[seawolf17]

Sunuvabitch. I just clicked over to my fantasy league, and unless Wags comes back and gets a W, he might have just cost me a fucking win this week. Dickhead.

[Guest mario25]

Wagner blows away Werth with two fastballs then proceeds to throw a lollipop slider...real bad

Wow. That link demands I respond.

[Frayed Knot]

With A Reyes's "power" and Schneider's "speed" could he even score him with two hits?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I've never hated any Met as I hate Wagner.

[Gwreck]

The funny thing is that the single -- and only a single -- kept Schneider in the game.

If he had made an out, they would've switched him out for Castro, as the pitcher's spot would be leading off the next inning.

If he had gotten a double, they would've put in a pitcher to pinch run for him.

Bobby B. and Vince C. called, they say hello.

All That Jazz - Nice Zvon!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets really don't have much to throw out there as pinch hitters. Aguila? A. Reyes? They won't use Castro unless they have to since he is the only catcher left. I'm guessing that Church isn't available.
