IGT 5/7 - Mets @ Phils

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice AB from Torres to start the eighth here, no matter how it ends. (Though he probably could have hammered that 2-2 fastball.)

"Thanks for the free out, Se�or Collins." -Placido Polanco, just before starting an inning-ending DP

Cohen was great on the Victorino play.....

[metirish]

Oh Bobby, bobby bobby booby

[Fman99]

Ugh.

[Fman99]

Yeesh. Looks like Thole may have gotten concussed there. That was nasty.

[metirish]

Man, he looked all shook up.......

[Edgy MD]

Josh Thole is a hero for all Americans.

Get Laynce Nix and they're out of this.

[Edgy MD]

Props to any and all Phillie phans who gave Thole a hand there.

After the Buster Posey injury last year, you'd think MLB would examine these plays.

Also, please throw at a Philly.

[Fman99]

BIG whiff for Byrdak there!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow. I'm amazed they're getting out of these jams.

Nymr is concerned about the health and safety of MLB ballplayers.

Nymr is contemptuous of the health and safety of MLB ballplayers.

Nothing to examine. It was a clean play.

And haven't we put enough of their leadoff guys on tonight? No need to plunk someone and do it again, 'specially in the 9th.

No, the last part applies to just Phillies, not all MLB players. Makes sense to me.

[Edgy MD]

Making Papelbon work, anyhow.

Particularly cool in game one of a series.

[Frayed Knot]

Papelbon is such a chore to watch.
He's good and all (usually) but I'd hate to have him as my closer.

There's certainly a movement out there to make an adjustment in the definition of what is clean.

[Edgy MD]

So, this isn't goign to be one of those games where we save the closer for the potential save?

[Edgy MD]

Heck, we might actually get a save opportunity this inning!

[Frayed Knot]

Well, if nothing else, I think we've eliminated seeing Papelbon for a second inning.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Jordanny BOMB!!!!!!

His first ML hit!!!!

[Fman99]

VALDESPIN!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Papelbon...a face you'd love to smack. Or throw a 3 spot up on.

[HahnSolo]

Holy shit. First the Rangers tying goal, now Jordany!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

OH WOW!!

[Edgy MD]

Suck it, Valdy haters.

(You know who you be.)

[Frayed Knot]
