That's the best offensive team we can put on the field. Nice.

[Guest AG/DC]

Two things I wanted to see here:

1) Beltran returned to the cleanup slot so Jamie Moyer can't pitch around Wright to get the lefthanded Delgado. Check.

2) An early, embarassing, and retirement-inducing exit for Moyer. Pending.

[metirish]

Would be great to win two here and then the Phillies go to Chicago for four.

Why is this a two game series , a little odd?

[soupcan]

'Cuz each team gets 9 at home and the Phillies had that 4 game set over 4th of July I guess.

BTW - Mets are 9-4 -v- Phils to date.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The next one we win vs the Phils assures we win the season series. Does that get us anything if we end in a tie or is that just the NFL?

[soupcan]

If the Mets and Phils tie for the division does head-to-head record determine the winner?

[Guest AG/DC]

Last I checked, baseball still uses one-game playoffs.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

I think head-to-head determines the division winner if the other team gets the wild card. If the other team would miss the playoffs entirely, then there's a play-in game.

[Frayed Knot]

It's a one-game playoff only to determine playoffs or not.
But if the loser of a tied division will be the WC team then the head-to-head winner gets declared to Division Winner.

The last time Jamie Moyer pitched less than six innings against the Mets:

...

Oh wait, it's never happened. Dude OWNS the Mets.

7-4, 2.85 in eighteen career starts, dating back to when he was a teammate of Davey Lopes. He gave up six runs in the third inning in a game in 2006, and was slapped around a bit by Keith Hernandez and Tim Teufel in August 1986 (in a game the Cubs won), but other than those two starts, it's sixteen starts with never more than three ER.

[Zvon]

Way to start it off.
Easley singles in JReyes.

[Zvon]

Bases philled with Mets, one out.

[Zvon]

Would have liked to see more there but I'll take it.

2-0 Mets outta the gate.

[Zvon]

Martinez does not look like he has the greatest stuff tonight.

Rollins doubles and he hits Utley in the foot.
TRIPLE PLAY TIME!

[Zvon]

NICE!
Pedro gets out of the jam without allowing a run. WOOT!

[Zvon]

EASLEY

[seawolf17]

Suck it, Phillies. The division is OURS.

[bmfc1]

Zvon--I love the giant Met. Nice going.

[seawolf17]

Someone get me instant replay!

[Zvon]

Wow. We caught a break there.

Beltran off 3rd hit by a Tatis grounder.
Ump says he was in foul territory.
He wasn't.

[seawolf17]

Okay, Fernando. Caught a little break there. Make 'em pay.

I didn't notice in the Playbill tonight that the part of Davey Lopes is being played by a very tan Billy Joel.

[seawolf17]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[metirish]

An at bat for the ages for Tatis , brilliant.
