IGT, Independence Action, NYM vs. PHI, 7/3

[Edgy MD]

Ruben hitting leadoff for the first time since his return from the DL. Terry also not shy of late about putting Davis and Duda back to back.

t/k	Tejada, ss Murphy, 2b Wright, 3b Davis, 1b Duda, rf Hairston, lf Nieuwenhuis, cf Thole, c Niese, sp

[TransMonk]

I like that lineup a lot. If Davis and Duda are mashing, that lineup can be downright scary.

Tonight is game #81...I hope they end the first half with a bang!

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I was Jason Pridie, that would be my goal.

[Ceetar]

Rollins, Polanco, Utley, Ruiz, Pence, Victorino, Wigginton, MAYBERRY, Worley


leaving work in 13 minutes.. come on already,b aseball!

[Edgy MD]

I sure hopes we gots this Worley guy figgered out. You hate to run up against a team strong at the top of their rotation, and not take advantage of the guys at the bottom.

Jimmy Rollins, ss Placido Polanco, 3b Chase Utley, 2b Carlos Ruiz, c Hunter Pence, rf Shane Victorino, cf Ty Wigginton, 1b John Mayberry, lf Vance Worley, P	Tejada, ss Murphy, 2b Wright, 3b Davis, 1b Duda, rf Hairston, lf Nieuwenhuis, cf Thole, c Niese, sp

The double hat header is awsome Edge.

I just had this vision of Tejada playin short for the Mets for many years and doin a good job, ending up with Met career numbers that will rival the great Ed Kranepool himself. Nice at bat there. Made Worley work. And Murph with the TRIBOOM. Nice

[bmfc1]

I'm going to say that the Mets are playing this one for Bill Emswiller of Walpole, Massachusetts. I only knew Bill from Facebook (Mets fan, Letterman fan) but he once went out of his way to meet me when I was visiting Cambridge. He passed away yesterday after a brief illness. I looked at this timeline and his last status update was on Sunday. It read "Lgm".

So let's go Mets... win this one for Bill.

[Zvon]

To Bill. LGM!




Ugh, that fuckin Ruiz. He's gonna become my new nemesis.

[Zvon]

Expected Duda to score there. And Niese with the big hit! 2 ribbys to boot. Wow, replay shows Thole safe there at third. damn.

[Frayed Knot]

Geez, what's the record for runners thrown out on the bases over a two-game span?!?

[bmfc1]

Wow. Another inning where they ran into two outs (Tejada didn't do anything wrong and Thole looked safe). Imagine how many they would have scored if they let the pitcher get them out.

[Zvon]

Wow. Expected Tejada to score there and he's gunned down by Rollins. I'm gonna stop expecting things.

[TransMonk]

Thole and Tejada taking those extra bases were questionable calls.

They've had runners thrown out at first, third and home. Get someone at second and they've run for the cycle.

[Frayed Knot]

Sending Tejada was the right move IMO.
Thole is going on his own in his case. That one was a little more questionable and then he further screwed things up by sliding too early to where he lost all his momentum.

[TransMonk]

I'm late to the ball...what happened to Kirk?

Bruised hand, apparently during batting practice.

[TransMonk]

Thanks!

[TransMonk]

WOW!

Tejada leaped to snag a liner, and briefly resembled the Michael Jordan logo.

Kool. Thank you.

Whooa. We are aggressive on the bases tonight. That one paid off. Nice moves by Thole crossing the plate. And Muffy drives one in. 6-1. Gotta love it

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Tejada drives in Thole, Murphy drives in Tejada. Thole nearly wrecked his leg avoiding Ruiz at the plate, but looks fine in the dugout. 6-1 Metsies.

[Fman99]

Vance Worley is a crumbum.

With a douchey haircut.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And all with two outs, natch.

Oh, this is Vance Worley pitching.

WOW! Tejada with another gem. Nice.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Worley off to the showers, no doubt with several Axe products. Raul Valdes, come on down.
