IGT, 7/7: Mets @ Phils

[Guest AG/DC]

I'd sure send him out for the sixth. But I don't get to talk to him in the dugout.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Phils out.

Seaver to pitch the 7th. Will face Willie Randolph. I know what'll happen.

[Zvon]

OO, the rook gets the mound.

Swindle in.

Its his MLB debut AND his birthday.
Gratz R.J.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Fresh meat for the Mets offense to hopefully feast upon, as R.J. Swindle takes the mound for the Phillies.

[Zvon]

[Guest themetfairy]

KaBoom for Mr. Wright.

MK has a similar motion to Swindle's. Except I think MK's motion is more effective!

[Zvon]

Nice to meet ya Swindle.
Happy birthday

[Guest AG/DC]

R.J. Swindle's career ERA: Infinity.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wright goes off on the birthday boy! Welcome to the big leagues, R.J!

[Zvon]

Tick, tack, toe, three hits in a row!

Not a good move Charlie.
Shudda saved him till the lefties were up if thats what he's there for.

[Zvon]

Swindle trying to rob back some of his cahnfidence as he Ks lefty Delgado on three pitches.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This games' going pretty well so far, I'd say.

Better than the 6-2 win I was looking for on page 1 of this thread.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Tatis draws a walk and the bases are juiced for Schneider with one out.

[Zvon]

He walks Tatis, and bases loaded for lefty Schneider.

No one warming up for Philly.

Schneid lifts an infield pop out.

If Pedro reaches Ill have to laugh.

[Zvon]

LOL

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It's not nice to laugh, Zvon. Ah, hell go ahead, I am.

I doubt the Mets get invited to Swindles next Birthday party.

[Guest AG/DC]

Is Easley hurt?

[Zvon]

Did I ever mention how much I hat Burrell?

Thats it for Martinez after Dobbs doubles.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Pedro suddenly isn't fooling anyone. Burrell homers and Dobbs doubles so Pedro's night is over. Armas will come in to put out the Phillies uprising.

[Guest AG/DC]

Fist bump snd a cheek slap from Pedro after he turns the ball over to Armas.

[Zvon]

They said he came up tender on that play at the plate. Leg/calf?

I was afk afew. CBS Sportsline has him still in.
That accurate?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Gameday still has him manning second.

[Guest AG/DC]

He's still in, but the Phils' booth was surprised to see him get thrown out.

[Guest themetfairy]

Ron Darling needs a ride to the West Side after the game, since it's getting too late to catch a train back from Philly.

Do we know anyone at the game who could give him a ride?

[Zvon]

So was I, and he definitely slowed down on his way home.

Armas closes the book for Pedro nicely with 2 Ks.

[Guest AG/DC]

We're starting to get into pull-the-starters territory.

Aguila, you go to left and send Tatis to third.

Reyes, you go in for Reyes.

What do you mean, you're confused?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Phillies Manuel decided to get Utley out of potential harm's way and sends Bruntlett in to play second base the rest of the way. The Mets should follow Edgy's advice and do likewise.


Edited for mispelling of Bruntlett

[Zvon]

Chase Utley outta the game.
Thank you Charlie for throwin up the white flag,
which is what that means to me.

They will have Swindle continue to assess what it is they have here in this young birthday boy.
And he puts in a 1-2-3 inning.

[Guest themetfairy]

SNY is going to let fans Call the Booth next inning. Which means that this is officially a rout.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Hold off on pulling the starters! I want this one signed, sealed and delivered.
