Did they toss the Phils manager? Ha.

That was Keith's speculation

[Edgy MD]

They should have tossed Ramos.

And the double warnings are counter-productive.

This game is getting stupid. If Robles comes in, look out.

“I will not participate in the World Baseball Classic because Carlos Guillen is the least serious and most deceitful [person] that may exist,” Cabrera said, according to a rough translation of remarks reported by ESPN. “What a shame that Omar Vizquel, with all the respect he deserves, is accepting all this scoundrel-ness.” http://nypost.com/2017/02/09/asdrubal-cabrera-is-furious-over-double-cross/

Scoundrel-ness. That's the sort of intrigue that is afoot.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think this is about the Epic Cabrera HR off Ramos last season.

[Fman99]

WOW!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bruuuuuuce!

[Batty31]

BRUUUUUCCEEEE!

[Edgy MD]

Flip that bat, Brucie.

[Edgy MD]

Bruce just let fly a "FUCK, yeah!"

[Frayed Knot]

That would be your NL HR leader Jay Bruce (and tied for ML lead).
He shoulda flipped the bat.

[Zvon]

I'm gonna have to make Bruce one of these. Wow, Bruce is hitting. Of course, no one else is, but one step at a time.

That's gotta be it.

The cool part here is, if this score holds as is, Ramos gets the 'L' as Cabrera's run was the go-ahead.

We may have a thin-skinned Phillies reliever to thank for the wake-up call.

[Edgy MD]

I'm glad Blevvy's back, but it would have been funny if that one awful pitch by itself ended up giving him the victory.

[Fman99]

YUUUUUUUGGGEEEEE DP grounder there!

[Guest cooby]

Zvon is in midseason form already!

Gigantic.

Brock Stassi to lead it off in the 9th.
Wasn't he a member of the East German Politburo before that whole reunification thing?

The thing is, there's 17 more games in which this can play out. I mean, for fuck's sake, that redass Matt Harvey is pitching tomorrow.

[Batty31]

FUCK!

[Zvon]

Don't tell me....it was the guys 1st MLB homer. Of course it was.

4-3 Mets

Started kinda ugly, but nice job boyzzz.

Kruk (Phils booth) says that Ramos could not have picked a worst time to try and get even with Cabrera. He also thinks it was unwarranted.

Listening to Mackanin now (Phils manager) and he had no idea Ramos was going to do that. Then they ask him if Ramos did it intentionally and he responds, " I don't know. I'll ask him tomorrow."

Cripes. I don't see Mackanin lasting long.
