IGT--Phillies @ Mets, 08/23/09

[nymr83]

and now an error at 2nd and Castillo beats it out!!

[nymr83]

no defense!!
tying runs on base, he'll get a hit but that was another defensive misplay

[nymr83]

an unassisted triple play to end the game. it could only happen to us.

[Gwreck]

Unbelievable.

[Theoldmole]

All you can say is well, uh, OK.

[Guest Kong76]

Ya think you've seen everything, that may the first one to end a game.

[ashie62]

UNBELIEVABLE...

[Methead]

Amazing.

Well, I've always wondered if I'd ever see an unassisted triple play... I guess I can cross it off the list now.

[bmfc1]

What was the point of putting the runners in motion? If Jerry doesn't, that's a single and the bases are loaded w/none out. If they're down by one, OK but two? No, especially when the trail runner, the important runner because he's the tying run, is slow. Classic over-managing by Jerry.
