Absolutely. Lots of ways for the Mets to screw that up, but the Phillies just screwed it up worse.

And yes, that's definitely an error on Reyes, because it allowed Coste to reach third.

Did you get a sinking feeling in your stomach that went away as soon as he gloved it?
If you did, your a Met fan.

[Zvon]

Ha. They walk Feliciano.

Go go Jose.

[Fman99]

Wow, Mets pitchers getting it done at the dish tonight.

Let's see a clutch hit. Ihave visions of the 3 HR game Reyes had here a few years back.

[Zvon]

Utley homered?

I leave the room for a minute.....

DAMN YOU UTLEY !!!*swings fist in air*

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rough night for Reyes, he's still trying to find his game too I think.

[Zvon]

Putz for the 8th.

[Fman99]

So far so good. Putz throwing strikes. Crappy Miguel Cairo at the dish to pinch hit.

[Zvon]

Thank you, Mr. Putz, for a scoreless 8th.

The Amstel commercial is the current winner of the "overplayed and super-irritating SNY advertisement."

Didn't it just recently come back after not been played for a while...maybe it's played during the season...

I wish they sold regular Amstel here.

(edited five times, lol)

[Fman99]

Go Frankie. Put these fuckers to bed.

[bmfc1]

Come on. 3 up, 3 down. Don't give them any hope.

[Fman99]

Can of corn. One down.

The Cryin Hawaiian is up.

[Fman99]

Beh. Two out walk to Utley.

Ryan "Nostrils" Howard up.

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

No cable-- listening on radio. TELL me he did the fist-pump, point-to-God thing.

(I bought tickets for tomorrow three months ago; at least 30 percent of that was the prospect of witnessing the super-histrionic fist-pump, point-to-God business in CBP.)

[Zvon]

Took a lot of pitches for that 9th, but he got it done.

Mets win the 1st game of this series.


I want a sweep!

[Guest Kong76]

I only watched parts, did Cora suck?

Cora only half sucked.

THOUGHTS ON THE GAME!!!!

(only kidding)

- I can't believe Utley's HR left the park. Looked like a jam-job pop fly to me.

- That Chinese fire-drill of a play was obviously huge. Someone said that the throw was a foot from sailing over Reyes's leap and two runs insta-Philly runs but did you notice that both Beltran & either Church or Cora were backing up and in perfect position for any overthrow?
Nice group effort there.

- Re: Beltran tagging and his slow start: I think he was sort of reading how Werth fielded that ball and was ready to slam on the brakes if he didn't like how it was developing.
But going all out was the right move there. I sometimes wonder about Beltran's instincts. He'll make 10 smart plays and then throw in a real klunker.

I'll tellya what. He's not gonna make anyone forget Edgardo Alfonzo but I like him as a reserve so far.

He's made plays in the field in these past few games that Damian Easley could only dream of making. And he's not much more than a singles hitter offensively but he appears to have an idea of what he's doing up there, unlike, say, David Newhan or something.

[Frayed Knot]

Bet the Angles want Frankie Rod back right about now.
Brian Fuentes blows the save in da Bronx without even getting an out.

That was Cora who made the leap. He was heads-up the whole play and did everything right.

[Frayed Knot]

That's right, it was Cora cuz Reyes was in the hole.
But Beltran was directly in line for an overthrow and Church was right behind him. Nice sign even if it never came into play.

My son calls him 'Dog Nose'.

[metirish]

Keith calls Cora a " great professional" , which means what?

1) - you suck but you're a good guy

2) you couldn't hit spuds to ducks so I'm going to say something nice about you

3) you're all glove.........but a great pro

4) who is he again?
