Spirit of 7/6: Mets @ Phils

[Guest KC]

Let's go Joe!

Smith found his own at bat funny.
It was funny, but we all know he was busy thinkin how he's gonna set em down 1-2-3 in the 12th.

[Zvon]

Looks on TV like Smith's pitches move like mine used to playin whiffle ball.

J-Roll with a lead off single.

Shift on for Howard.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Howard gets to see a righty. I fear.

Huge out by Joe Smith.

If Mike and the Mad Dog were in Philly, callers would be ready to trade Ryan Howard to Cuba after an 0-for-5 with four Ks.

[Zvon]

Rollins steals second w/o a throw even tho Schneider popped up to throw as quick as anyone could.
He holds it.
Screws the shift to Howard.
And Howard pops out to left.
Whew.

[seawolf17]

And a great play by Jose Reyes to get Favre on the ground ball. Wow.

[seawolf17]

And the Phillies are down to their last out with the tying run at the plate, which means Feliz is going to hit this one into the Monongahela, or whatever river it is that's in Philly.

[Guest KC]

Schaefer shower for Tatis and Smith!

[Frayed Knot]

Our long day's journey into night is finally over.

We are going to need a lot of beer for this game.

It feels like a playoff win. A friend was emailing me for updates while on a plane. The game was tied while he was getting on the plane and he "forgot" to shut off his Blackberry.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

Considering the way the Phillies were bouncing around on the field after the Friday night game, I think both teams are treating this series like a mini play-off.

We've clinched the tie - let's win this fucking series tomorrow night!

I don't care who it is if we don't straighten out the usage thingie. Why waste Smith on two to three innings per week?

Why waste anybody?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

even these people liked it.
