IGT Mets @ Phillies, 08/26/08

[soupcan]

At least Lidge is out of the game.

Not that the Mets have shown they can hit at all after the first third of the game however.

[Elster88]

We're running out of bullpen.

[HahnSolo]

Searching for bright side...at least Lidge is out of the game?

[Guest KC]

Booth stickin' up for Schneider on the play at the plate for a tie. I think he
has to make that grab, at least get some leather on it.

Speaking of leather .... REYES!!!

I can. They jerked themselves off with runners on in three separate innings, and every pitcher except Stokes pitched like shit. Christ they're lucky they haven't lost by now.

[Fman99]

Eh. Madson.

Now we have to hope we can get another 6-7 innings in tied and get Madson out of there.

We ran out of bullpen sometime in May.

Now the 10th will be the bottom of our lineup vs the top of theirs.

[Guest holychicken]

I don't get it. How can they be so bad? It makes no sense. It is like a terrible nightmare.

I typed that 41 minutes ago. Fuck.

[metirish]

Two hits the last five innings Gary reminds us.

[Zvon]

Heilman up in the pen.
I don't think I'll be able to watch when he's in.

[Fman99]

Heilman throwing in the pen. Fman99 throwing up in the mouth.

And one of them was a bunt hit.

It's the major leagues. You've got to play all parts of the game to win.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm really kind of pissed we let them get away with a catcher at third.

Manuel has out-managed Manuel so far tonight.

Madson staying away from the Schneid.

Schnied with the basehit. Anus Reyes to PH.

[Fman99]

Base knock for Schneid.

Let's see what OurAnus Reyes can do.

[Guest KC]

Schneider says I got wood to make up for no leather ...

Even pitching.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Schneid's been swinging well lately.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Madson wild

[Guest AG/DC]

What would you do? Bunt into the double play or hit into one?

[Elster88]

Hey! Don't they have to take him out? I guess an injury visit doesn't count.

[Fman99]

Oh good a GIDP.

[Guest AG/DC]

My bad.

[Fman99]

Three GIDP in five innings, start on fire, stop scoring after 4, let your bullpen come in and shit all over your lead.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2008 New York Mets.

[Elster88]

The starter did the majority of the shitting. 5 of the runs in the first 5.

[Guest KC]

Heilman in to pitch the bottom of the tenth.

Hold on to the bottoms of whatever you can.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We can blame the bullpen all night -- and I will -- but the freaking O has pissed away all kinds of chances.

the offense did their job, Pedro Martinez didn't.
