mannnnnnnnnnn, that was sweet.Calas didnt raise his voice and sounded rather dejected.

even the Phils announcers thought Wright got his hand in there and was safe on the stolen base in the 8th. Rollins didnt.That was close tho.Didnt this game seem to have that playoff atmosphere?I wonder If Dick felt that type of electricity at the Stadium.Im in the 8th about to enjoy HiStOrY RePeAtInG ItSeLf.

Trachsel doesn't want to be dealt RHP Steve Trachsel hopes the Mets don't trade him, even though he has been sent to the bullpen. Trachsel said he needs 60 to 70 pitches to warm up and doesn't expect to be used in close games. After missing all of the season because of back surgery in March, he returned to beat San Francisco last weekend, pitching two-hit ball over eight shutout innings. He said he had been led to believe by the Mets that there would be a spot for him in the rotation when he returned. AP NEWSThe Associated Press News Service

Just about up to where i left off.6th inning.You would think that knowing whats gonna happen might delute it,but it wont. Im sure my local Phil phan phriends will be awful quiet tomorrow.And Im gonna be awful tired.its gonna be interesting to hear Harry Calas's call of the Castro Caboom.

Broken hand keeps Piazza out two weeks, maybe rest of season CBS SportsLine.com wire reports NEW YORK -- Mike Piazza will be sidelined until mid-September and perhaps the rest of the season because of a broken bone in his left hand.After Piazza was hit by a foul tip during a game against Pittsburgh on Aug. 16, New York Mets manager Willie Randolph said his catcher would miss at least a few games. Piazza had a CT scan Monday, and the 12-time All-Star said doctors determined the hand needed six-to-eight weeks to heal from the time of the injury. "I know we don't have a lot of season left, but I'm still optimistic that I'll be able to try to come back and help as much as I can," Piazza said. Mets general manager Omar Minaya said Piazza was day to day but probably wouldn't be back until mid-September. Piazza tried his hand out in recent days but wasn't able to catch or hit. "The doctor said that there is really nothing more you can do," Piazza said. "It's just stiff, sore, swollen. That's the bottom line." Piazza was injured at the base of his glove hand, below the thumb, and Minaya said the broken bone was near a tendon. Piazza hoped the injury would heal enough that he could have it taped up and be able to play despite pain. "If there is a point that I have flexibility, I'm able to respond and play at the major-league level and be effective, then I'm going to do that," he said. In the final season of his seven-year contract, Piazza is batting .259 with 14 homers and 55 RBI.__________________________________________________________ He has gone on record saying next year he'd like to stay with the Mets in a lesser role, but we all expect him to go DH in the AL.It would be ashame if we never see him again in a game as a Met.

thats a kool lil recap Gwreckthnx.I saw a clip of Cameron bringin out the lineup card on the Phil broadcast.That was nice to see.And yes, i hope we point to Castros homer in afew weeks and say>>>>>>>therethat was when we turned the corner for good

HAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

that was a HUGE comeback win and yes, does make up for any one game we should have won earlier this season.Guess every win from here on in does,lol.The Phils pen melts down. Nice to see another pen do that for a change.And we got to their 2 best. this sets the tone for the whole series, cuz they used both madison and urbina. doubt they will tomorrow now, and if we get deeper into their pen, they are as done as a perdue oven roaster stuffer.this is the way to start the 3 game set.

I have to start more games partying in enemy territory.D-Dad and I were actually at Citizens Bank Ballpark for the start of this game - we were at a Tug McGraw Foundation fundraiser (today would have been Tug's 61st birthday). We hit the road before 9:00 and were home for the 8th inning rally. Wow!Martin - Hail! on your Seaver post!Werewolf - NICE KaBoom graphic :)A great win. A sloppy game, but a great win <g>they did a segment on this just now on comcast,SK.Talked to luzinski and showed him with the giant check.Thanks for cudos on Kaboom, but I was MIA for castros clutch boomer.Had a Kaboom all prepared to.Such is life

what a comeback Somethin came up and I missed it.Hope comcast replays the game.Gonna read up this thread.

Kool.Mets plate Reyes.Beltran with another big hit.maybe this is the start of his hot streak.That be nice.Crap--I have to step off AFK 4 a bit.Hope to be bk b4 games over..whew.i thought Floyd lauched one there.looked like it but just a fly out.

Rotblatt wrote:Well, for my money, Seo adjusted to his lack of stuff okay.agreed. that pitch was his best of the game.Matsui pinch hits and Seos work is done for the day.Well, he couldnt pitch flawlessly 4ever.

am i slippin or what. Did I miss that?belated HAIL!!!!!!!!!

ooouuuuuu.Nice pitch by Seo Ks Howard.very nice pitch.Dodges another bullett.CBS sportsline has Padilla up in the pen for the Mets.

The ump had a bad angle.i think Loftons foot was in but Castros quick lunge gets the call.Phils manager Manuel gets tossed.Heres a shot just available off Burrells 1st inning homer.You can see how he went down and got a low pitch off Seo.Looked like that swing he put on Glavins off speed stuff early in the season.Burrell singles, and good think utley didnt try to get to 2nd on that play at the plate.He only moves up to 2nd

but we cant capitalize on the stumbling triple.The Mets are not putting anything together.Lofton double---diaz freezes on it.Eyeeecurumba.On a side note:The homer by Lofton in the 1st was his 1st since opening day.(see, I can depress people too, bret :wink: )YES.Mets get lofton at the plate on the Utley single.He was safe too.

Seo gets thru another tuff inning.Gets in trouble then gets out of it.Mets need a rally.

Utley gronds out sharply.Career, Utley is now 0-10 vs Seo with 5 Ks.(wish i had this info for the KTE)Seo has thrown over 50 pitches at this point.Only the 3rd inn, so we should see some Met relief work.Seo does look like he's settling, but still leavin the ball up more than im used to seein from him.Nice inning from Seo.Put down the heart of the order.

Tejeda looks good. Mets have to get to him.In the meantime, lets get thru an inning without givin up any more runs.Clutch utleyAbreuBurrellscheduled to bat
