IGT #127 Philly's a dirty place, let's sweep it.

The idea that bunting isn't even an option in we-need-one-run situations may be a survivable flaw tonight (or it may not), but it sure would be an option that would be nice to have in the post-season.

[Frayed Knot]

Remember how for most of the season you'd check to see who was coming up in the next inning for the Mets, and if it wasn't 3-4-5 (and even if it was much of the time) you'd almost mentally write off any chance they had at scoring?
Now suddenly even if it's towards the bottom of the order I think there's as good a chance as there would be anywhere else.

d'Arnaud, Conforto, Tejada ? ... I'll take those odds!!

[Edgy MD]

Not sure I've ever seen a catch quite like that, what with the navigating around the corner.

But I've CERTAINLY never seen a play like that 1-3-1 putout.

[Zvon]

Shit. Get out of it CTorres! 5-3!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

whew. nice play Dave

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Why not just cut OFF the low, late throw on a steal attempt like Hernandez' try, there?

Anyway, nice pick on the shorthop, Captain. Onward and onward.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Lettuce go Mets!!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This is, like, a go-ahead steal of home away from being the Carlos Torres Game, innit?

You can't stop Carlos Torres you can only hope to contain him.

[Zvon]

Not thrilled to see CTorres running the bases. Make it so he can jog home Curtis!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nice start of the inning. Torres leads off with a single. I wonder how often he has run the bases. I hope he knows where he is supposed to go.

Just noticed Lady with Baby Blue Bandage on Her Face, Giving Zero Shits.

[Zvon]

Frenchie still got that arm.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, how nailed would Torres have been on that one?

Forget Torres. A 21-year-old Tim Raines would have been a dead duck.

[Zvon]

Very nice. Insurance too.

[Guest d'Kong76]

YES! Moiph!

[Edgy MD]

Gold.

[Fman99]

MUFFIE!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That's, like, seven years of tension in that Body Irish from Murph, right there. LOTTA demons being exorcised this month.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, I'm going out on a limb here, Carlos Torres is the fastest guy on the team!!

[Zvon]

No, the bats a piece of equipment you boneheaded Phils booth.

[Edgy MD]

I've never seen an on-deck batter's interference call. But apparently, the Phils aren't going to press the point.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

It just keeps getting better. This team has made baseball fun again.

[Frayed Knot]

Tack on another few and let Torres finish the game.

[dinosaur jesus]

I'm pretty sure that ball did hit Wright's foot. I'm not crying about it.

[Zvon]

After this last week this seems par for the course. I'm like, meh, they came back again.*yawn. But seriously, this is something else.

8-5 NL 1st place New York Mets

[Zvon]

TC's a fool if he doesn't have CTorres start the frame. We don't need to see Familia even if it was a save situation, IMO.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Make that 9-5 Mets.

I agree the with letting Torres finnish the Phillies off. That is, once the Mets get done with their top half of the inning.

Shit, if this is gonna be that kind of party again, I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes... again.
