IGT 05/31 Metsies at Sillies

[Edgy MD]

But they just showed a shot of the bench, and they look purty deflated.

But I care. CARE!

[Edgy MD]

Young might have let that one drop in order to get Revere at third.

But that'd've been too clever by half. I'm not sure anybody was even covering third.

Murphy: The Irish word for "Brainfart."

[Zvon]

I think I just cared as Recker threw to first.

[Zvon]

New guy with a good inning. I am pleasantly surprised.

It's amazing how stupid he's been lately. Didn't seem to be this way all along but not only is he getting thrown out on the base paths with great regularity these days but it's mostly been off of 3rd base w/<2 outs.
And I don't know what he was thinking on that Ryan Howard bouncer. Howard is the slowest non-Molina in the league.

[Frayed Knot]

We'd be having a much better series if David Wright had shown up for it.

[Edgy MD]

Is Granderson getting tired of hitting the ball hard into the shift yet?

No more moral victories.

[Zvon]

Yep. Horrible day for Murphy. I never thought I'd see him do what I just saw. Shame on him.

[Frayed Knot]

If I actually had a life, these games would be ruining my life.

It's like he's been invaded by the spirit of Timo Perez.

Wright was yelling at someone there as Murph was walking back to the dugout. I wonder if it was at Muffy. And if he did, I like it.

Did you see Utley coaching from first base earlier? It's about time leaders lead.

[Zvon]

Manshit comes up lame! And Bastardo might be N/A.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Buddy Carlyle Trio ends on a high note, with a DP and tricky 6-3 scoop to end the 13th.

As G and R are crowing, Manship appears to have popped, strained, or locked something up trying to beat out the grounder. Who's the Phils' emergency arm, I wonder?

[Zvon]

Apparently Bastardo is available and will take the mound in the 14th.

[Zvon]

I'll salute Carlyle. GJ Scrub.

Because the Phils' A/V team hates people's ears, here's Phil Collins' version of "You Can't Hurry Love," in its entirety!

These two new guys they got really suck.

OE: In their booth. I think Wheeler was let go.

So... is this the Old Ruben, or a temporary, possibly-Flores-stoked blip?

[Frayed Knot]

Can somebody get a freakin' hit on this team?!?!?!?!!?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THERE you is.

Apparently so - at least once every dozen innings or so.

Now how 'bout another? ... it's not too much to ask.

[Zvon]

Finally. A run. If they didn't send T there my TV was in danger.

Decent throw would have had him too ... but sending was the ONLY move there.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lucky that Brown airmailed that one. Could've been VERY close.

[Frayed Knot]

Save Opp #2 for the Mets.
Familia was unable to convert the first one.
Torres tries for it this time.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, let's let them get enough runners on so as to get the meat of the order up this inning

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lest you doubt that the umps want to get out of here, too...

We'll take it. That's one.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets didn't actually win this game, but they did manage somehow to unlose it.

[Zvon]

It's actually over and we actually unlost it.
