Jesus Christ, give Heilman a run and get him a well-deserved win here, please.

[TransMonk]

Heilman = balls...at leat tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Or you can strike his fat ass out, I'm easy.

[Zvon]

OOOOH.
Im clutching my chest as Heilman puts one in the strikezone to Howard.
And he Ks him!
If he meant to put that pitch there tho, I'm gonna slap him upside the head.

[Guest AG/DC]

Gutsiest Mets relief performance in a generation.

Wait, let me check the database....

Yup.

[Centerfield]

="Elster88"] ="OlerudOwned"]Tom McCarthy doesn't know where he is, just said 3 times that Aaron Heilman has had a history of troubles "here at Shea Stadium." He might be broadcasting from the tennis center.

I think the only thing that could make this game worse is to be listening to Tom McCarthy. My condolensces.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Please, please, please let Elster be prophetic.

I need some sleep.

You managing the UMDB in his absence?

[Guest AG/DC]

No, I manage the Gutliest Met Database.

Gutly! I like it.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm usually the first (well, first, second and third) to criticize Heilman, but I tip my cap tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

So it looks like we're down to Seanez v Schoeneweis .. probably for the duration.

Sucks to go 14+ innings just two days after you remove one pitcher from the roster.

Just got home to see this. Freakin' bullpen. (Except Heilman).

[Centerfield]

Mets need to stop swinging at garbage.

I hate this team.

[HahnSolo]

We've done nothing for nine innings now. How the hell are we still in this game.

Sho coming in...I'm out. Off to bed.

[Elster88]

The Phillies have just finished a complete game shutout.

As do I.

[Guest AG/DC]

Schoeneweis is a South Jersey boy.

[HahnSolo]

Those 4 hits Gary mentioned? A bunt hit, an infield hit, a single to left, and Wright's hit that he got thrown out at second.

[Centerfield]

Tough matchups for Show this inning.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

9 consecutive scoreless innings. Gettin it done!

[Centerfield]

Well that should do it.

[nymr83]

leadoff triple probably ends this game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well, too bad the bullpen fucked this one up. *cough*

[Frayed Knot]

Well that didn't take long.

[Zvon]

crud.
Victorino with a lead off triple.

Unfreaking believable.
We got to walk the bases loaded and go for the force at the plate.
Oh boy.

[nymr83]

i'd walk the bases loaded here, because the phillies will have no pinch hittes, you face the pitcher (some pitcher) with 0 outs, then you pray for a double play from the next guy if you cant go home to first on the pitcher

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Games like this magnify every other minor annoyance. I had to sit through a tornado alert today. It's been one of those rainy, humid days where the air is disgustingly thick and you get a vague migraine from it. I have a mosquito bite on my nipple. How the hell does that happen?

Victorino just tripled. Fuck.

[Guest AG/DC]

Fuctorino.
