That was some blast by Delgado.

There we go!

Get the rally caps on. First and second, no outs, big bats up.

Parnell throws some smoke. Fun to watch. Let's Go Mets! OFFENSE!

I wonder why they go to Green (ERA 8.76) instead of Stokes (ERA 0.00) there. And I wonder why they don't have cameras installed in the bullpens, and instead force us to look between the fences for a glimpse of the relievers.

Greg is quite the wordsmythe but I will not second this nomination. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Sorry, but I read most of this thinking of Phil Hartman's super-fantastic Admiral John Stockdale, to Dana Carvey's Ross Perot, from the old SNL days. But that's a good thing. Nice knowledge Greg. I assume, since you didn't mention it, that there are no ex-Mets in black and yellow, and no ex-Bucs in blue and orange?

Pelfrey 3.5 Rodriguez 1 Feliciano .5 Wright 1.5 Beltran 1 Castro 1.5 Reyes .5 Delgado .5

And he didn't finish the inning and the MFY fans booed him off the mound. Ha! That pen is so 2008-Met-ish.

You're a bit broad with your use of the word 'cheating' here. There's a big difference between one runner using his hands to smack someone hard enough to make them drop the ball and another making it look like: 'ooh look Mr. umpire, I just plum runned into this guy standing right in my way' in order to steal a call. The latter is not only done all the time but is taught that way. The former is explicitly against the rules and was so rarely seen that ARod doing it not only invited the near universal ridicule he got but deserved it as well. And once more (with feeling); It WAS a BAD call - but the bad here was on Welke for making it, not Victorino for trying. I respectfully disagree.

Put it in the books. AGAIN. Over .500, a 1/2 game out of first, a motherfucking winning streak. Life is good my friends.

Foul ball to the upper deck. Creamed it.

Dribbler to Reyes, two down. Stairs comes up looking for a Chunky bar and a hit. I love Mex doing color from the seats by the way.

Making or even faking contact is exactly what runners are taught to do in that situation. ]That's like defending A-Rod's ball slap in the ALCS back when. Not the same - either in intent or in degree.

Can of corn. One down.

Hey, Jimmy Dean fingers, get off my TV. I quit smoking eight years ago. Take that shit to Dateline.

Frankie going for the save for the fourth straight game. Go get em kid.

Frayed Knot wrote: ="Fman99"]Victorino's a real scumbag. Victorino's not the problem there. A runner caught like that should do everything he can to try to get a call. And it's not like he threw the elbow maliciously, he just needed to make contract. It's the stupid ump's fault for falling for it. I totally disagree. It's dirty pool, he goes out of his way to bump Reyes and put a shoulder into him when Reyes is moving out of the basepath. And the ump totally missed it. That's like defending A-Rod's ball slap in the ALCS back when. I am going to start calling Victorino "The Lyin Hawaiian."

Zvon wrote: That was one messed up play. I think Victorino went out of his way to make contact with Reyes. No? Not only that, he should've struck out but for the fact that he convinced the home plate ump that he had fouled off a pitch that he never touched. So he got the Mets twice in that inning. The fuck.

Victorino's a real scumbag. Phillies have 13 guys on the field if you count the umpires and they're still down 7-3.

HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.
