And the beat goes on I.G.T. 4/30 Mets & Phillies

"Meija pitched the 8th, no reason he can't go out there and pitch the ninth, but there's Acosta warming..." -Gary

Um, Gary? That pinch hitter we used?

[bmfc1]

No warning from blue. Curious.[/quote:3s1dj79w]

F U Romero, you juiced up freak. Delgado's gone. You have no purpose any longer.

Here's today's Daily News back page preview to tonight's game. Who's the second Met?

Pelfrey, _______________, Reyes, Santana

[Gwreck]

David, I guess.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's no Bill Gallo.

I'm guessing Reyes on the stick, Wright on the sousaphone, Santana on bone, and Bay on bass drum.

[Guest Kong76]

The groomed eyebrows lol

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not David. I think it might be Pagan.

Weird because all the other three are very obvious.

[Gwreck]

Put it in the books!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's no Bill Gallo.

No Pelfrey is drumming.

PS we win, hoorah

[TransMonk]

Books!

[Theoldmole]

It's Wright. That's even a pretty good caricature.

I believe it's been a while since I've had more fun watching a ballgame.
I believe I will bite my tongue around Phils friends for the moment.



By Thanagar, I believe in Ashie.

The best revenge is living well unless we are talking about serving the Phillies a ghetto asswhupping.

[MFS62]

Driving home, listening to the post game Buffalo show, and the guy said that Frenchy was taken out of the Mets game "because of an injury". Then I get home and see the Mets box score and see he was replaced by GMJ and cringe.
What happened?
How serious was it?
Was this just a one game thing?

Some good news, please!

No, I do not want to be the Buffalo correspondent. The radio station only comes in on my car radio, and only occasionally.

He banged his knee into the wall making a tough catch. X-rays negative. Survey says Jerry sits him tomorrow but he'll be fine.

[Frayed Knot]

I thought the X-Ray was for the pitch he took off his left forearm.
Either way there's nothing broken. Probably a 'see how he feels in the morning' deal before deciding if he'll play tomorrow.

[G-Fafif]

I spent half the day thinking that was Pagan in that illustration, but I'm now convinced it was Wright.

That illustration, incidentally, sold the News an extra paper today. Winning might even save the print media.

[MFS62]

Thank you both for the quick responses.

Either way, I can now exhale.

[G-Fafif]

The only thing negative about Francoeur is his X-ray. Just the way we like it.

[Fman99]

Great game, great IGT, helluva winning streak we've got cooking. Let Frenchy sit tomorrow against Amish Roy, it's all good.

I credit Ashie, again.

[Guest themetfairy]

Fun game to attend!

[ashie62]

Girls have all the fun

[Guest themetfairy]

It's all we really wanna do

Here's David Wright's homer -

I credit Ashie, again.

One of the good things (and there were many) about last night is that Barajas isn't exactly the most popular guy amongst the Philly phaithful.
His crime, apparently, stems mostly from the fact that he hit like a backup catcher while serving as a backup catcher there in 2007. There's also some story about a passed ball or failure to backup something which led to an extended inning which in turn led to a Brett Myers injury - I didn't quite get all the details.
Of course the fact that I happen to be one of those who feel that a Brett Myers injury coupled with Philly angst is the definition of a win-win means that Rod just went up another few notches in my eyes.
