IGT 09/05, Phils at Mets

[Guest AG/DC]

Who did you want leading off?

If you didn't say Murphy, you're a liar.

[Zvon]

Murph goes into like a Reggie Jackson leg slouch thing when he takes a big cut.

[Guest AG/DC]

Why is Wright up there swinging?

[Guest AG/DC]

I mean, there's that. Sure.

Phillies TV keeps showing Hillary Swank, Mets Loving Million Dollar Big Shot

[Guest AG/DC]

Small moral victory.

[TransMonk]

Well, how many times this year have we lost the first game in a series to Philly just to come back and take the rest?

Myers was on, but I'm still confident.

AG: Win it for Hillary<<<

If the season collapses, I will blame it on this.

[Guest AG/DC]

She's the next karate kid!

Eh. Meyers got a few pitches early he maybe shouldn'tve, we made Lidge earn it in the 9th and had some bad luck defensively. Church had the timing and the height, just not the proper alignment.

The only regrettable moment IMO was Wright having a very bad turn at-bat after Murphy's leadoff double in the 5th I think. May have gone on 3 pitches. Go get 'em Sunday. I was out running and it's windy and sticky as hell.

Damn! Damn!! Damn!!!

Gary tonight referring to the Nationals playing very well lately:

"That's called a 'dead cat bounce'".

Love that.

Found that very strange, too. Paid attendance was 48 and change, which means those sections just weren't sold. Walk-up sales must've been real poor. Found that a little disheartening.

On the other hand, I thought the crowd was *really* loud in the 9th.

Not much good to take away from this game. I figure we just get the next tow and be on our way.

[Guest AG/DC]

If the Wilps getting forty-eight and change is poor for them, I'm not shedding a tear.

David is getting by on talent these days because his approach just isn't there. Very un-Murphylike. I half want to credit his ninth-inning double to Daniel for getting a ten-pitch at-bat while Wright chased two pitches out of the zone before connecting.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's complete bullshit.

It was 12-pitch at-bat.

we needed baserunners in the 9th, but Murphy did a good job there making Lidge work and showing everyone everything he had. You often get a walk out of ABs like that, just didn't happen this time. I've really warmed up to Murphy.
