Mayday IGT: Mets @ Phils 05/01/11

Dickey, no? What's the point of having a knuckleballer, if not to have him on-call 24-7?

Funny thing. After the eighth, I got a flash-- as during the Cardinal 20-inning game-- that this game would suck more to lose than it would be satisfying to win. Didn't think that meant it would actually GO 20.

Spontaneous, jubilant crowd of hundreds milling about at Ground Zero, apparently.

Starting Tuesday. Although you could skip him.

I'll join their jubilation if one of the Mets would just bank one off that fuckin' neon Liberty Bell.

[nymr83]

yeah, Pridie!

Thole the last hitter on the bench will pinch-hit.

[Frayed Knot]

ESPN continues to be confused with the idea that we tune into the game in order to listen to their studio hosts talk about the game that we should be watching.



And here comes Thole.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Please don't waste Thole just to bunt.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pridie producing some unexpected excitement.

Jason Bay in vintage 2010 form tonight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Choose your pitch, Jose.

With one out even Willie Manual wouldn't have done that.



Terrible camera work as we're shown Thole jogging off the field instead of Pridie rounding 3rd.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, on the plus side, a walk bumps up Reyes' asking price just a little bit more. Go, Jose's Leverage!

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, do we agree that Beato has passed Isringhausen in the bullpen pecking order?

[nymr83]

Beltran-Pridie almost collided like Beltran-Cameron there as Beltran ran in front of Pridie and took his flyball

[Gwreck]

Nice inning by Buchholz as we go to 14...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Had a weird feeling the scrub catcher would end things there.

[Frayed Knot]

Wright singles - now we need to end this parade of LOBsters

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Sugar Sugar doesn't look particularly great but that's like 3 hits already tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Not testing Kendrick/the rookie catcher here?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy hell did Bay reach base safely?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Po-lino!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I dub thee The Ronny Paulino Game.

[nymr83]

its Paulino's night!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Welcome to the Mets, Ronnie!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, hey Paulino
I wanna marry you

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, let Buchholz hit!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yay! Terry heard me!

[Gwreck]

Buchholz has to hit. Capuano was on deck temporarily.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Now let's nail this one down!
