Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

[Ceetar]

Pelf gets a hit. Back above the GMJ line!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

It's good to be Jose Reyes these days.

[Zvon]

Wow.
Just saw the DP replay.
What a turn by Castillo.
Utley was trying to take him out
Excellent play.

Pelf leads off with a single.
Reyes singles.....

[nymr83]

please dont bunt and short-circuit a potential monster inning here

[nymr83]

castillo bunts, barely out at first

[Zvon]

Hamels almost panics on the Castillo bunt.
Great bunt.
They say he might have rehurt his heel there, crossin 1st.

[nymr83]

Bay gets what looked like a semi-intentional walk

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's hoping Ike hits a semi-intentional homer.

[nymr83]

WAY OUTSIDE, but called strike 2 on davis

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope, unintentional disaster.

[nymr83]

damn. double play.

of course, you can't end the inning on one of those if you dont give the pitcher the first out

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Rats. The DP helps us then hurts us.

[Zvon]

Great bunt.
[/quote:28g67z1z]

Actually it wasn't a GREAT bunt.
Hamels laid down a great bunt last inning.
Don't mind me, Im a lil over excited.

Damn, they get the DP on us.

[apmorris]

Fudge.




btw: Costas*, is doing his best Vin Scully impersonation, which is crap.




*the worlds' tallest midget

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice play by Luis!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Another nice DP off of a Werth smoker. Castillo's having a nice defensive game.

Last time this season I remember noting that, he made some terrible, game-changing plays later.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

DP! Our defense is looking pretty damn tight tonight!

[Zvon]

Ha.
We get another DP on them.
Big

[nymr83]

Wright hits a stinger right at Polanco...damn why couldnt he be a few inches shorter

[nymr83]

Pagan gets on with a nice hit over Utley's head

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice steal by Pagan!

[Zvon]

I hear ya but I really think, the way the ballpark is currently, you have to play small ball for the most part.

If they don't lower that left field fence I'm thinking what they should do is create strategic holes
in the stands and as a result create air currents that will aid the flight of a baseball.

That sounds funny but I'm being serious.

And still lower that damn left field wall.
I just hate that.

...but I hear ya.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Interesting discussion from Costas. When/if Beltran comes back, does Pagan move to right and Frenchy finds some pine?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow! What is that, three DPs?

If French don't start to fry, I would think so.

ANOTHER DP!

[nymr83]

another doubleplay gets Pelfrey back to the dugout

great "phillies suck" chant going that inning too!

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, with no KTE, I'm in the dark. How did Philadelphia become the 2009 Mets and end up with their fourth-string shortstop (and the same fourth-string shortstop at that)?

With a 1-0 lead, it's no time to start poking the beast.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So is it too early to start calling this the Rob Base game?
