First of a three-game set starts tonight in Philly with JA Happ vs Jair Jurrgens This is a return matchup from last week's game when Happ, making his first ML appearence in 2 months, out-pitched Jurrgens by tossing 6 innings of 3-hit, shutout ball while the Phils were reaching Jurrgens for 4 runs on 5 hits + 5 walks in 5 innings. Milwaukee is off today, awaiting a 3-game visit from Pittsburgh.

A minor help, but Florida lost this afternoon.

Score is 2-2 in the sixth.

Rockin' Doc Sep 22 2008 06:43 PM

It really doesn't matter. The Phillies losing games only helps if the Mets actually win some games, which appears increasingly less likely with each successive game. We can't expect the rest of the NL to win a playoff berth for the Mets.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2008 04:31 PM

Jo-Jo Reyes - who hasn't won in many many weeks and is 0-2 vs the Phils this season vs Cole Hamels - who's only loss in his last 7 starts was the one to us, and is 4-0 vs the Braves this season Ugh Pirates @ Brewers Milwaukee is 9-1 for the season series, including 6-0 in an 8-day span in late August. Pitt = Jeff Karstens - part of the Xavier Nady deal from the Yanx - has lost his last 6 starts after almost tossing a no-no soon after the trade. He also lost to Milw on 8/31 vs Milw = Dave Bush - 9-10 overall, 2-1 vs Pitt. We smacked him for 6 runs over 5 IP on 9/3

At the moment: Mets 3, Cubs 2. Braves 3, Phillies 2. Pirates 3, Brewers 2.

Phillies really ran themselves out of that one. A triple and double to start the inning, then Burrell gets thrown out at third on a ground ball, and Victorino caught stealing second trying to make up for it.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2008 07:06 PM

btw, it was Hampton starting tonight for the Braves, not Jo-Jo. I was passing along bad information.

Frayed Knot Sep 23 2008 07:21 PM

Also Florida losing and Houston losing

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2008 07:50 PM

In Philadelphia, the Braves lead 3-2 heading to the bottom of the 9th. Victorino, Feliz, and Ruiz due up for the Phillies. Mike Gonzalez will look to finish the game off for the Braves.

KC Sep 23 2008 07:55 PM

Braves won.

Rockin' Doc Sep 23 2008 07:55 PM

Ruiz grounds into a game ending double play and the Brave hang on to defeat the Phillies.

SteveJRogers Sep 23 2008 08:27 PM

4-3 Brewers in Milwaukee in the 7th.

themetfairy Sep 23 2008 08:39 PM

Our good friend Guillermo Mota gives up a 2-run dinger to give Pittsburgh a 5-4 lead in the 8th.

Mota, Mota, Mota!

TransMonk Sep 23 2008 08:52 PM

Lots of ex-Mets involved with the 2008 club's fate tonight. Mike Cameron puts the Brewers ahead with a 2 run double before Mota gives the lead back on a 2 run HR. Mientkewicz worked a walk to be the tying run on that 2 run HR. Hampton for ATL as well.

Gwreck Sep 23 2008 09:19 PM

Prince Fielder with the walkoff, Brewers win.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 23 2008 09:24 PM

Anyone know Sheets's status? I see CC is going tonight on 3 days rest again, setting it up so he can do it again on Sunday, or pitch the one-game playoff on Monday. ESPN has Sheets as the probable starter on Friday, but I heard nothing anywhere else about his health.

TransMonk Sep 24 2008 09:14 AM

Per Rotoworld: According to manager Dale Sveum, Ben Sheets (elbow) is unlikely to be available before Saturday. Sheets played catch Tuesday and reported no problems. "He said it felt better than he thought it would," Sveum said. "There’s some optimism there that he might be able to do something over the weekend."

Tonight it's Jo-Jo Reyes for the Braves (I know I said that last night too) vs Brett Myers - loser of 2 of his last 3 In Milwaukee it's Paul Maholm vs Sabathia - who is starting on short rest for the 2nd straight time and suddenly hasn't won in 5 starts

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 05:14 PM

Braves up 1-0, first and third with no out.

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 05:16 PM

2-0, first and third with one out.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:22 PM

Braves and Phillies tied at 3 through 4 innings.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:37 PM

Braves score a run retake the lead in the top of the 5th. Myers is knocked out of the game and the Bracves are still threatening with runners at first and second and Infante at the plate with one out. An extrabase hit from Infante would be sweet.

Elster88 Sep 24 2008 06:41 PM

Throwing error gets another run home. First and second one out.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:49 PM

A single adds another run. Runners on 1st and 2nd with two down and Chipper batting. Come on Chipper! Hit one out.* *=Never thought I'd ever type that.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 06:52 PM

Chipper goes Kaboom!!!

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2008 07:17 PM

Brewers tie it at 1. Either way we'll know where we stand because both of these out of town games are going to be over long before ours.

Rockin' Doc Sep 24 2008 08:25 PM

Braves 10 =red]Phillies 4 Final

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2008 08:36 PM

3-way tie getting more probable by the minute.
