How bout that time Ventura was watersliding on the tarp.Castro leads with a single.Afew more and we are back in bidness

it dont look good right now, but Mets can put on a fireworks show of thier own.Okay Met fans, join me in my Mantraunite, assemble, and put forth the comeback vibe.

Lieberthal smacks one out.Phils have 3 runs, all on homers.Mets are on the dwonside, 3-2.7th inning.Well, guess we just have to comefrombehind again 2nite.Great play by Wright on that bunt by Lofton.SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTUtley smacks his 2nd.5-2 Phils, and they get insurance runs.Crap--Abreu doubles.Im stunned.And now its raining.If it ends now cuzza rain, this is a suspened game cuz it was tied.Mets have to bat for it to be official.

OMGLofton does it again!!!!!!!!!cripes.That was Jacobs 2nd ML double, and Lofton robs us of the run.

YESS.Pedro gets out of a jam.2 HUGE Ks and a popup by Bell.Pedro also had something to say the the Phils bench there, after the Burrell K.I dont think they want to get Martizez angry.They wouldnt like......(u know the rest)ugh, what a catch by Lofton off Floyd.

Frakin Utley goes yard to tie it.DamnDamnDamn2-2

do your stuff Reys.singles and steals second on the 1st pitch.And what a jump.

whew.I thought that rip by Lofton was gonna go over Diaz's head.Perdo get thru the inning and the Phils strand Lieberthal at third.Phil announcers were hoping for a wild pitch, and thats gotta tell you something.And pedro only has 4 a them all year,lol.

Ryan Howard goes yard , opposite field.Wind must be playin tricks cuz Floyd looked a lil foolish there.2-1 Mets

No, sorry, Cairo's walking to 1B. Just your garden variety HBP.I hear a buzzing noise*Z frowns and sticks his pinky in his ear and wiggles it*

Fortunate for them, cuz Beltran beats out that grounder and I dont think they get Cairo at 2nd.

I assume you guys are watchin, if your not let me know and ill try and explain that last outrageous output by me

Utley didnt even run to the ball, he ran to cairo.Could he have done that intentionally?

NO WAY---HE DIDNT LEAVE THE BASEPATH!WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO?STOP?

OW!Cairo takes one for the team.I hope that noise I heard was from the bat.I dont wanna see Beltran bunting here.hes swingin wellWhy does he do that?ok,ok, so your a team player..i get it.Got it in May.

i love the way that not only does Martinez make the best of what he has on any given outting (off speed stuff, so far 2nite) but how he sets the pace of the game and the other team just finds themselves going along with it.The Phils are swingin their bats, not lookin at too many pitches, and helpin Perdo out.

on both he kinda walked from the batters box and went a lil to slow and looked a lil to long.i hope they dont plunk him,cuz then Ill have to go to the next Philly homestand and get all up in their face

that looked like an instant replay of last nights.yeaaaaaaaaaaaaMets 2-0

CASTRO!!!!!>

after the 1st inning leadoff double by Rollins, i thought Pedro may not have his stuff today.But now he's lookin fine.Phils were all off stride by his pitch selection that inning (2)

Beltran steals 2nd, and Floyd brings him home. Nice. 1-0 Mets

Beltran may be startin to heat up with the bat.We sure could use it.singles 1st time up.

Bret Sabermetric wrote: Thread titles like this are equivalent to trolling, with a very specific audience in mind.yea,.........Met fans.Duh.There is no doubt that Piazza fading is a sore and sensative spot.Im one of those old fashioned suckers who believes you should give back and show appreciation to those that have given you the best years of their MLB career. At seasons start I had this argument with one of my brothers. He's like 'Piazza has to go' and Im like, 'no, I think he deserves this last run, even if we have to carry him on our back.'He has handled pitchers well from a game calling standpoint, for the most part, but he's never been a great catcher.We've steered around that hole thru the yrs.He has been a great hitter, and we've known that all along.I really didnt expect the Mets to be where they are right now when the season started, so I figured give a classy guy a classy last tour. I have to admit that when I saw that no one wants to run away with the NLeast this year and the wild card started to look like musical chairs (and the Mets were not about to be caught standing when the music stopped), I did consider Piazza somewhat a liability behind the plate.But it didnt change my sentiments, that he's done so much for us that if we were gonna get there this year, it would still be with Piazza, with his inability to cut down baserunners at second, with whatever fading numbers he was able to achieve, for better or for worse.I know its nieve to think this way, and dont expect anyone to agree with me, but thats the way Ive felt and still feel.He is a class act who gave us some great Met moments and memories. I may be one of the few old fashioned fans left, who believes that winning it all does not have to be what a baseball team is all about.Sometimes its about showing your support in the face of adversity and treating a player who has shown nothing but class with appreciation, even if it may hurt.Fans could show class too, ya know.

Wright now the thing I like best about Wright is where his head is at. He's like a kid who's swept up in the wonder of it all. Am I wright or am I wright?
