The Phirst Phight Phur Phirst: IGT Phils @ Mets - 7/22/08

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

I am going to kill Derek Jeter and bury him in his Edge. This counts as a confession, but we all know it's really SNY's fault.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Maybe Chavez could redeem himself here.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

bmfc1 - "With Wagner n/a, would it have been the worst thing to let Santana start the 9th?"

Unless he said he couldn't go back out, I would say that the answer is obviously no. It would have been hard for Santana to have screwed up the ninth than his supposed relief help has.

[metsmarathon]

seriously, 105 pitches, and your closer is unavailable. is it really that unheard of to think of santana at least attempting to pitch a complete game? jeez!

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

I would be shocked if the Mets got anyone on base in this half of the inning. If they're like me, it's everything just to keep their food down.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Any chance the Phillies would let our guys hit against our bullpen? We might have a chance that way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eh, they'll get over this.

Bad night for Sanchez, he doesn't have too many of those.

Freaky bad play by Reyes.

Feliciano's been shit all year, this just hastens his departure.

Only victims are us fans.

[batmagadanleadoff]

There's no way this Lidge can continue to pitch at this unhittable pace. He's due for a real larrupin' right here.

[Zvon]

3-1..take the walk Endy.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Lidge sucks. Chavez walks.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Now all we need is Wright to get on so one of the Carlos's can blow the place up with a Kaboom.

No it wouldn't, although to be fair he was PH'd for with 2 runners on.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Just think of

, and watch Lidge give it back.

No, 1 out and 0 on -- it was A Reyes in the 8th.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Dammit, Wright K's.

I didn't say that.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

So much for my dream. Wright strikes out. It shall fall to the two Carlos's.

[Frayed Knot]

I got my 7th & 8th innings reversed.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Get on for Delgado, Beltran.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Why wasn't Endy sent home there?
Edit- on the wild pitch, that is.

[Guest KC]

Eeek, g'night.

[metirish]

Tough loss , just got to get them tomorrow night.

[Guest holychicken]

I hat baseball.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Well, that sucked. Waht a demoralizing loss.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

One of the worst games I've ever seen. Bad, bad, bad.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

Joe Smith for closer.

[Zvon]

This is one of those few times I'd be booing the team.

I echo JCL sentiments multiple times.


(btw, I laughed so hard when I saw that post beer flew out my nose.
And I think that laugh is what I needed to keep me sane thru that pathetic let down.
So, ty 4 that JCL)

[soupcan]

As bad as it was it was an aberration.

The Mets had that team beat. Blanton showed them nothing, Santana came up big, Delgado was clutch.

The bullpen and infield defense just collapsed.

A loss is a loss but the Mets beat themselves tonight. The Phillies were not the better team on the field.

So the Mets are one game out, big whoop. Its a 3 game set. They'll get 'em tomorrow.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Moral victories are nice, but I'd rather have the actual win in the standings.
