IGT, 7/7: Mets @ Phils

[TransMonk]

How many HR's can umpires botch this year?

Instant replay, please.

[Zvon]

NO!
BAD CALL!
They reverse the ground rule double by Howard!

They had it right the 1st time!

And our Manual gets tossed!

[TransMonk]

Manuel tossed.

Good for him...the Mets got screwed.

[Guest themetfairy]

This is totally bogus! A Phillies fan shouldn't be allowed to interfere with a ball that Endy could have caught and then have it called a homer!

[Guest AG/DC]

My word.

[Guest KC]

tmf: this is officially a rout<<<

Very out of character ... nothing is safe in that hell-forsaken bandbox.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yes, and it reinforces why I shouldn't assume stuff like that.

[Guest themetfairy]

Right before the strikeout, Gary announced that they wouldn't be taking phone calls after all. Ron confirmed, "No - it's a close game again."

[Zvon]

Heilman comes on and Ks Burrell, who I hat.
VOTE MR. WRIGHT NOW!

Swindle stays on.
Lets get some more runs.

[Guest KC]

One other thing, how could a ball 15-20 feet over his head
be caught by Endy?

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Some kid behind the plate is doing the "Angels in the Outfield" wing flap. I can't, for the life of me, imagine why.

[Guest themetfairy]

If they can rewrite history to call that a homer, I can rewrite it just as accurately to say that it was on its way down and into Endy's glove.

Both scenarios are equally plausible.

Do not doubt anything Chavez can do with a glove.
He could jump 30 feet and catch it on the way down.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Swindle's fastball is so slow that most of the time Gameday still labels it a changeup. Either that or his fastball really is 82-84 mph and his change up is either 81-83 mph or 74-75 mph. Whatever it is he's throwing, the Mets suddenly can't hit it.

[Guest KC]

tmf: Both scenarios are equally plausible<<<

Ridiculous.

We need six outs.

[Guest themetfairy]

Less ridiculous than that call reversal and ejecting Jerry to boot.

[Guest KC]

Maybe to you.

Last inning he K'd Delgado on a 58 mph ...something.

Just ask Scott Rolen!

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Looooooooooooong at bat by Dobbs. Heilman gets the K, though.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Camera switches to Santana sitting in the dugout as the ball is hit into play. Whoops!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great battle between Dobbs and Heilman, but Heilman finally gets the K for the first out of the inning.

[Guest themetfairy]

4 to go.

[Guest KC]

10 - 7, need four outs. Jenkins 2 run bomb.

[Guest themetfairy]

Jenkins homers to cut the lead to 10-7.

Which probably means we get Wagner next inning.

[Fman99]

GOD DAMN. 10-7 after another moon shot.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Gary: Jenkins is two for his last forty. TWO for FORTY!

The home run was a foregone conclusion, no?

[TransMonk]

Well, we're getting closer to getting fucked.

Cue Wagner.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Suddenly, this game isn't such a laugher.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Suddenly, pulling Utley looks not so good.
