I Gee Tee 4/9: New York (N) at Phlia.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Greg Burke pitches like he has an equilibrium problem/is trapped on a listing schooner deck.

[Zvon]

oh, double switch. hmm

[Edgy MD]

Michael Young may be Jeteriffic, but I don't dislike him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You do realize that he's doing that to you, with his blood-rite voudan intangibles, right?

[Zvon]

They say Burkes from right around me down here in south Jersey. I'm gonna go TP his house.

[Zvon]

Triboom 4 Valde. Nice.

[Edgy MD]

Act like you been there before, Jordany.

[Edgy MD]

It's still early.

It'll be earlier if we chase this guy now.

[Edgy MD]

Gary Matthews is a real disappointment as a broadcaster.

[Zvon]

I guess that was a passed ball. I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing from Murphy so far. Esp the power. If he can swing for lift or swing for liner at will he will be another Ted Williams. Only get one run outta that? Booo

I will agree with that 100%. I like the other two guys (esp back when they worked with Harry). Sarges voice is not suited for announcing of any kind. It's more suited to read fairy tales to kids before bedtime.

[Zvon]

Yea, we gotta knock Lee outta there. Whos gonna bat for Burke?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whoever it is, he should spin around the bat first for a more Burkelike aesthetic.

On a team more laden with expectations, Valdespin would be a real BP-raiser.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Buck uses a lizard-skin grip on his bat "for extra tackiness?"

Guys! does burn the figurative shoe leather in this gig of his.

[Zvon]

Baxter, who was frozen in his boots for strike 3. At least he....just walked away. Oh yea, he knew it.

[Fman99]

I've enjoyed this Barajian April performance by John Buck.

I still don't know who anyone in this bullpen is though.

It's, ah... Parnell, the sidearming guy, the lefty, the other lefty, the old-looking guy, and for some reason, LaTroy Hawkins. And I think I'm forgetting someone.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frank Frank, and the swingmen (now starters). But otherwise, you got it, Z.

[Zvon]

Turner,lol. WhaRyaDoiN?

[seawolf17]

No, I'm "Sea." Not Z. And Frank Frank not technically on the team right now, so I didn't count him.

twitter is fun just now


Phillies beat writer

Kevin Cooney ?@KevinCooney
You can't make the worst outfield in the majors & then u prance and pose after a 3B down 8-2. Get a freaking clue


our own Bmfc getting retweeted and quoted by Rubin


Adam Rubin ?@AdamRubinESPN 6m
Or Victorino! RT @jeffhysen: On behalf of Mets fans, tell @KevinCooney to take hike. He ever watched Rollins strut or Howard admire his HRs?

Twitters kool but to me its like shouting out stuff and hoping someones listens. Do people actually have conversations over twitter, or do they just state stuff? Ive tweeted once, when I registered my account.

[metirish]

Sure they have conversations, this current one involving Cooney is quite good.

If I can post kabooms there I'm outta here.

Damn, Lee still in for the 8th? Rock his world Mets!

[Zvon]

..or do that.

Just saw the Turner DP (wasn't in front of the TV for that earlier) and that was a kinda big missed opportunity. Wanted him to shine tonight, and you know that rarely works out for a fan.

Lee bats for himself in the 9th.

[Zvon]

Gah. Well, its Cliff Lee. wHaTrYaGoNNaDo? Don't you wish you had a team where Halladay goes bad but you still have a guy like Lee? Have we ever had that? The Gooden days? Seaver/Koosman?

Oh kool, they pull him with 2 out. I was already typing my gah we lost post.

[Zvon]

Gah we lost.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

Well left.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Watch as [crossout:8x1iupdn]the Fox News Network[/crossout:8x1iupdn] SNY covers this story as getting mastered by Cliff Lee and not Gee crapping the bed. I think, with the exception of failing to capitalize on the threats in the 1st and 2nd, this was an OK effort vs. Lee. A decent effort from the starter makes this a game.

[Fman99]

Well that sucked.

[ashie62]

This was fugly....

Wheeler must be dying...
