LoDuke promptly drives him in with a baseknock past a diving J-Roll.

Oh yea-Burrells getting better out there......looks like a fool on Reyes liner to left. Was that a dive or a lunge? Reyes pulls into third with a :

="seawolf17"]And the Mets have their fifth six-run inning of the year. Fascinating Stat Of The Day Scorin' Em In Bunches: As of right now, the Mets have scored three or more runs in an inning this year 84 times, almost as many times as they've scored "only" two (85 times). That is fascinating. A single by Howard followed by a boom by Burrell puts the Phils on the board. 6-2

Lemme amend that-CharlieM was tossed. His 6th ejection of the season. Green hits a line double one bounce off the wall in right and the Mets have batted around. Delgado scores on the play. Wright tags on Woodys fly out to center. Chavez with the ground out ends the inning. 6-0 Mets

And they do--Wright heads out to firstbase. Beltran crosses the plate. The grounder definatly looked like it hit the 3rd base bag- cuz it bounced off it to the left, into foul territory. Manual argues but stays in the game.

Looks like they are gonna change that call--and Charlie Manual may just go off here.

Beltran hit into a force at the plate, then Delgado knocks one up the middle-Utley gets a glove on it and it goes into center. Two runs score. Wright hits a grounder off the 3rd base bag-called foul--now the umps are conferring.

That guy is starting to piss me off. Later The Phils dont take advantage the Victorino single. Maine gets out of it. In the Mets half they start to make things happen. Chavez lead off single- Maine bunts- Phils catcher Coste goes for Chavez at second and pulls Rollins off the bag- scored an error- all safe. Reyes lays down a beautiful bunt and beats it out. Bases loaded. And Loduca slaps a grounder into right-past Ryan Howard who was screened by Reyes, and the Mets are on the board. Bases still chucked for Beltran.

Green and Woody cant get Delgado home. Still 0-0 - each team has one hit. Both doubles.

Wright didnt look so good in that at-bat. He was trying to hit it to right, to at least move CarlosD over. He had some nice pitches with which to do so. But he fouls em off and then pops out to Utley in shallow right.

Delgado doubles to lead off the 2nd. A smash to the gap in right center, one hop off the wall. Damn-when Delgados locked in his hitting looks so effortless.

Maine gets the Phils 1-2-3 in the 2nd. Catcher Coste did work him in his at-bat but ends up weakly popping to short.

Whew--Howard just misses one to left center. Rollins tags to 3rd. Maine gets Burrell to hit into a questionable force at second. Phils dont score.

Maine gives up a lead off double to J-Roll. Voctorino grounds out hard to short- Utley draws the walk. 1st and 2nd, 1 out to that ever dangerous Ryan Howard.

I have some trade proposals floating out there. Tomorrow is the deadline.

Or simply better OFers. Burrell's not as bad as he was when he first came up but still isn't good, and Jose Hernandez is a hastily converted infielder. The IW to Wright is certainly understandable. Yeah he's slumping but it's still him vs Jose Valentin and, as it was done to re-load the bases, it was a reasonable strategic move as well. Ive had the displeasure of seeing alot of the Phils. Burrell is getting worse and worse in the field as time goes by- and when he first came up he was only adequate. Both walks were understandable (even if there were 2 outs some managers may have walked Wright there) - I just enjoy seeing an opposing managers strategy backfire. I say questionable only because I would have gone after him there, myself (but Im no manager, thats for sure). Woulda pitched him off the plate tho, with nothing to hit. Wright was swinging at pitches outta the zone all night. He's pressing. If he took em for balls, he gets 1st. Or maybe I get a cheap K. In any case--I still thank Charles.

Absolutely fantastic footage Edgy. Thanks for setting up the rain delay theater. Great shots of old Shea. Damn--Im gonna miss the ol park when its gone. *sniff*

Wrights not knockin the cover off the ball lately and I thought that intentional walk to him was a questionable move- but only cuz I wanted to see them pitch to him so he could knock the cover off the ball. He decided to walk Valentin too. Dont he know this lineup has no holes in it anymore? Thanks Charlie!

Excellent tribute Mr Rogers. I remember those orange border cards very well- I had em all. Thought I dont remember if they were the kind available in Topps rack packs, or a mail in deal. Rack packs, I think. I really thought those cards were kinda blah back then- but looking back with nostagia I have to say now thats one kool set.

So O.Perez is 798th ?
