I guess that's the best they can throw out there right now.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 02:17 PM

So Church gets to go against the LHP but not Murphy.

Kong76 Jun 09 2009 05:50 PM

Could it be that everyone is at the game?

Zvon Jun 09 2009 05:56 PM

Not me. Those ads on the wall work. I watched Cora's double and then I had an urge for potato chips. KABOOM by Beltran!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 05:59 PM

Couldn't get there from Tampa but I've been very, very pleased! Wright, HR and 2B, yeeha! Rich Dubee "you be" out to the mound!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:01 PM

Activity in the Phillies bullpen...pond is full of ducks for Church.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:07 PM

Was hopin for more. I have to settle for Pringles.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 06:12 PM

Chipper being proven wrong tonight.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:13 PM

Carp! Back2backers!

I saw on the replay Sheffield was running as hard as he could but still got thrown out at second. But I missed where the ball hit. Was it off the wall? The top of the wall?

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:40 PM

Off the wall, left center.

Well played by Ibanez but man, Sheff is slow. Didn't look slow, was busting it all the way, but man he's slow. Gah, Rollins just gives the Phils the lead with a 2 run homer.

themetfairy Jun 09 2009 06:44 PM

Present and accounted for. Was out doing some Bar Mitzvah menu planning with the caterer. Heard 3-0 become 3-2 on the car ride home.

Willets Point Jun 09 2009 06:44 PM

Time for the Phillies to become Happ-less.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:47 PM

Damn, all four runs given up with two outs! They really need to move the fences back in this band box! ;-) Way to go Tatis!

Elster88 Jun 09 2009 06:48 PM

Church was up there to bunt. Jesus.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:49 PM

Gotta plate Tatis from third w/0 out. Gotta

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:50 PM

AWWWW COME ONNNNNNNNNNN

Willets Point Jun 09 2009 06:50 PM

Phuck. He was safe!

Elster88 Jun 09 2009 06:51 PM

It doesn't matter how clear it is that tag wasn't there. If the throw beats you you're out. Ruiz wasn't even holding the ball.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:51 PM

There was no f-ing tag!

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:51 PM

He was safe too. Damn.

Nymr83 Jun 09 2009 06:51 PM

that fucking sucks.

Willets Point Jun 09 2009 06:56 PM

Johan says "Phuck this, I'll do it myself!"

Zvon Jun 09 2009 06:56 PM

SANTANA! ties it

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:58 PM

Johan, that's a nice swing. I used to love when Leiter did that.

bmfc1 Jun 09 2009 06:58 PM

How many more years do we have to watch Castillo?

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 06:59 PM

Cora's a pro! Nice hitting...right through the box.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 07:11 PM

He pitches, he hits, he fields. I bet he can save GM too.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 07:12 PM

Now he's flashing the leather!! I think Santana could beat the Phillies by himself.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:20 PM

WOOT!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 07:20 PM

Right in the apple! Nice Church.

themetfairy Jun 09 2009 07:20 PM

Church homers INTO THE APPLE!!!!

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:21 PM

Straight center!!

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:22 PM

Church. Yard. Churchyard.

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:25 PM

I'm following online. Is this game at Yankee Stadium?

Fman99 Jun 09 2009 07:27 PM

Johan rules. He was visibly pissed when Manuel came to get him, held the ball up to his face and waved it at him and said "I do not want to come out." He's a fucking animal.

metirish Jun 09 2009 07:27 PM

I have never seen a pitcher as pissed as Santana was over being pulled....he was cursing the decision and to me it looked like he cursed jerry when he handed over the ball..

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:27 PM

That damn pesky foul mouthed Utley. Knocks out Santana. He did NOT want to be removed,lol.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:30 PM

This better work Jerry... or I'll be throwing these remaining Pringles at you.

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:30 PM

Biggest moment of the year for Feliciano. I don't want to see Diana Krall.

Fman99 Jun 09 2009 07:31 PM

Oh, and BOO YA on the DP turned.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:33 PM

YAY! MORE PRINGLES FOR ME!

Wandereli "The Axe Murderer" Silva? Is the MMA commercial on in NY or just via "Extra Innings"?

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:34 PM

Feliciano --- also an animal. I agree with Jerry on pulling Santana, and Santana openly doesn't. That's weird.

bmfc1 Jun 09 2009 07:36 PM

I couldn't understand why Omar kept Feliciano while he was axing everybody else... I was wrong.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 07:36 PM

Oh, yeah, Bosux over the MFYs, 6-0 at the 7th inning stretch. Look, it's Juicer Romero in for the fillies.

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:38 PM

Due to the injuries, Murphy has been getting less than advantageous pinch hitting spots of late.

Fman99 Jun 09 2009 07:41 PM

In Frankie we trust.

KRod's the bomb!

Edgy DC Jun 09 2009 07:51 PM

Oh, shit, big fat Matt Stairs.

Rollins = punk Two down

Fman99 Jun 09 2009 07:55 PM

I love that slider. Nasty break on that thing.

Got to give him props. Good, hard slide.

The Mets had the best starter, and the best finisher, in baseball toeing the rubber tonight.

Whew!

metirish Jun 09 2009 07:58 PM

Great finish.....Victorino in the dugout with them crazy eyes....yeah fuck you too Shane

metsguyinmichigan Jun 09 2009 07:59 PM

Wow. We really can't ask more than what we getting from KRod. All the talk about All-Stars, both he and Santana need to make that squad.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 07:59 PM

Not that it mattered in the long run, but the Phils had no one to pr for tying-run Matt Stairs there?!? Hell, I'd pr Hamels if I had to.

Zvon Jun 09 2009 07:59 PM

Yackity schmakity doo!

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 09 2009 08:00 PM

bmfc1 Jun 09 2009 08:01 PM

What a game!

themetfairy Jun 09 2009 08:07 PM

Towards the end of the game, Keith expressed that he wished all games were like this one. Gary, whom you could hear getting ulcers by the minute, disagreed.

Kong76 Jun 09 2009 08:08 PM

mgim: Rollins = punk He can slide like that any time for any team I'm following.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 08:14 PM

Nuthin' wrong with that slide and a lot of things right with it.

metsguyinmichigan Jun 09 2009 08:15 PM

Never said it was a bad slide ... but Rollins is still a punk!

Rockin' Doc Jun 09 2009 09:03 PM

Reading throuigh this IGT from start to finish was a happy recap of sorts. Big win for the good guys.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 09 2009 09:12 PM

Great game from the park! I mean, as much as you like HR slugfests

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 09 2009 10:22 PM

Just got home-- I feel like I'm high. Shealike buzz in the house tonight. It was bracing... therapeutic, almost.

Edgy DC Jun 10 2009 06:00 AM

Howie couldn't shut up about how it was the first time that the park thundered like Big Shea.

Ever. was it Leiter that made a charity-bet with Francessa/Russo that he could hit one ball to the warning track the whole season? He made some kind of silly bet with them like that. I forget the details. But Piggies' original connection was that Leiter used to do that fake-bunt/swing-away thing a lot because it seemed to help his timing and he'd get the occasional (cheesy) hit out of it. But Elster's right in that Leiter never stung a ball using that method the way Johan did last night. Even big Al's famous triple was really just a well-placed, soft-ish liner that was misplayed into a three-bagger.

metirish Jun 10 2009 07:38 AM

Leiter might have been the worst I have ever seen with a bat but he was always fun to watch up there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 10 2009 07:46 AM

Definintely loud and a good time was had by all. I mean, even the Phillies fans got to see 4 home runs. Two things I must mention: a) I called the Beltran homer. I mean, really called it. Just had that feeling that after Wright put one out that Beltran would too, and I knew it would be first pitch. Ask the kid sitting next to me, he gave me all sorts of props. b) I demanded that Church hit a home run and prove his worthiness. Saw it ticketed for the hat all the way, the way you know a 3-pointer is going in, as by that time we'd moved to the picnic area by French Fry Land.

Frayed Knot Jun 10 2009 07:54 AM

re: base-running For all the base-running gaffes we've made this year, last night's pair of run-into outs didn't bother me. - Sheff hit a freakin' rocket, he hustled all the way (at least as much as his tender leg will allow) and it took a perfect bounce, excellent read by Ibanez (his fielding has surprised me as much as anything this year), and a good throw to get him. I didn't mind that he took a chance there but lost. - Santos coming home: I heard like three post-game callers to FAN and at least one of them crawled all over Shines for this one, but that kind of play is usually a go-on-contract play decided on beforehand. Omir did get a reasonable jump and if it's going to take a seemless charge, scoop and throw by Howard just to make it close I'll go 9 times out of 10 and maybe all 10. Plus, as we all know, he was safe and it wasn't particularly close.

Yeah, I probably bit off more than I can chew there. You should have called my bluff, and I'd probably come up with "John Franco... and his nine clones."

metirish Jun 10 2009 08:08 AM

I was going to call yer bluff but then I though to myself , Edgy is probably scouring over data right now and will have ten names up soon.....
