I don't like what I'm seeing during Beltrans at bats either, tho I have to admit I don't see as large a sample as some of you guys. I see him taking some really nice pitches to hit. Many as 3rd strikes. Well, I'll take the blame for this one because I may have jinxed the Mets yet again when I posted the doctored panel from the Big Met Guy comic. I'm so superstitious I'm actually gonna remove that from the thread.

Kinda rushed this and neglected to mention Lidge's fantastic first half. 19 saves in 19 opportunities. An .079 ERA. Batters .171 against. Truly amazing first half.
-
Not a good way to start this series. 15 left on base, 5 by Beltran. Any special reason you won't update the Wright avatar Edgy?

I assume Schneider is hitting 9th (ergo: leadoff) and the pitcher in the 8-slot, but no one has said. Both the Phils booth and CBS Sportline had Sanchez in the 9th slot. Thats all I know...I can't be sure both were correct.

UGHGAH!!!!

Looks like when Santana serves up that change the Phils are consciously slowing down their swing to try and stay back on it.
-
Beltran and Delgado strand Chavez at 2nd. Not good.
-
Chavez leads off the 8th with an infield single. I thought Harry said "Rollins slid and stumbled on the damn grass". He said "damp grass".

="AG/DC"]The other night the Missus started a song. She called me in and asked me to finish it. But baby, I thought, the Mets-Yankees are on. But creativity comes first, and we wrote a really nice song. I wiped my brow, turned the internet back on, and found that the Yankees had destroyed the Mets. Now I just went into the living room to do our annual duet of Dave Alvin/X's "Fourth of July. We sang beautifully (I'm serious), but it was 2-0 when I went in, and 2-2 when I came back. The message would seem to be that the Mets hate music. But that's crazy. What's makes more sense is that they hate my music. lol. Record that Edgy. If you have a mic you can probably just do it thru the windows recorder. Or I can send you a .zip file with a home recording center, Cool Edit Pro. We want to hear it! And PLEASE update the Wright avatar while I have the honor and privilege to wear it.

I keep that shelved cause I think It may have jinxed the Mets at that time. (lol, like anything I do really matters) It did take 4 minutes to add the lightning and get it supported at photobucket. Which by todays standards is sloooooow.
-
Meh, 80% cut and paste job. lol
-
Phils get one back on a Howard RBI single. AND THEY TIE IT ON A BURRELL RIBINGLE! GAH! Both with 2 out. Lets get out of it now!

="Vince Coleman Firecracker"]="Zvon"]YES! Happ walks in a run. And Happ gets the hook! And Happ gets a... standing O? Really? I think that was mighty nice of the Phils phans, who are not known for their niceyness. And the kids folks were sitting right there so that really was nice they gave it up for the kid. What did it hurt to do that? Tip a the cap to the Phils phans.
-
YES! Happ walks in a run. And Happ gets the hook!
-
Ty for the info bmfc1. So I guess the cap is appropriate for them as well, pretty much.

Vince Coleman Firecracker wrote: Tough spot- pitcher up, bases loaded. Do you root for the strikeout or hope for the seeing eye ground ball? Did you see the one pitch he swung at way up high? lol That spastic half swing he took? In those situations I just cross my fingers and pray. Mets score as Reyes beats out the DP grounder!
-
Bases loaded, one out for Reyes.
-
Thats interesting. Does Canada celebrate an independence day and if so when is it?
-
Wow. Awsum cap! Worth 35 bucks!

="TransMonk"]="Zvon"]Mets have the black road jerseys on and, correct me if I'm wrong, caps that are not black, but a real dark shade of blue. Also according to the Phils broadcast, the caps are part of Fred Wilpon's idea to raise money for returning veterans. Then I'll have to give a tip of my cap to Mr. Wilpon.
