IGT 5/8 - Mets @ Phils

[Edgy MD]

First things first. We want a hit.

[Edgy MD]

And letting Batista bat won't help that cause too much.

[Edgy MD]

Kirk Nieuwenhuis doubles to get the Mets in the hit column.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Keith's on a mechanics tear re: SugarPants, as DW flies to right, and Niewenhuis tags.

Duda takes a 4-pitch walk, and here's Murph.

[Edgy MD]

We's on the board and the tying run is at the plate. And his name is Ike Davis.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And he ALMOST does it.

No tag for Duda, since Ike's fly is the second out, and also Duda's a cow with hands.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Plate Sugar here and we got a game suddenly.

[TransMonk]

Chased Blanton. Let's see what David can do.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

wow, what a little league play

[TransMonk]

Wow. That was a whole lot of ugly.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

More shit with 2 outs, we're awesome.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'll take some Phillie ugly!

We're usually on the other side of that kind of ugly.

[TransMonk]

Yeah, at least the ugly shit is bouncing the Mets' way.

[Guest themetfairy]

Doo Dah!!!!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nothing cheap about any of the hits this inning though. Boom, boom, boom, boom.

[TransMonk]

Nice rally.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

We need a lock-down job by the bully!

[Fman99]

Great glove work there by Wright to snare that one. Mets clicking tonight.

[Chad ochoseis]

Murphy is starting to get the hang of this second base thing.

[Ceetar]

WHeeee...that was fun.

sloppy early but the Mets adjusted and now are playing crisp baseball and the Phillies botching things.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Game center says Ike was out stealing. Botched hit and run or something?

Exactly.

[Fman99]

Murphy with the good effort, catches a break that the ball doesn't go out of play and push the runner to 2nd.

[Fman99]

Ugh. Sloppy work by the battery to allow whatshisnuts to move up to third.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Is that the second wild pitch of the inning?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Big K!!!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

second one should be a passed ball, it was on the ground but in front of Nickeas, he just didn't move to it well.

Big K for Ramirez who looks great with that slow windup.

Now the same Byrdak-Nix matchup we almost saw last nite.

[Fman99]

Phew! Byrdak gets the clutch pop up.

Let's put some insurance runs on the board, boyos.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Make that Tubs Wigginton instead.

As he gets older, he looks a LOT more like that guy on Jackass who dances around naked.
