Don't they ever rest Howard? A well rested Howard: no fielding agility, can't run, creams the crap out of the ball; An unrested Howard: no fielding agility, can't run, creams the crap out of the ball; Why would they rest him? It's not like he's gonna move fast enough to get himself tired... I take it that the first game was the one that Manuel thought that he had a chance of winning...other than the 3/4 of the lineup, that is not a starting 9 to compete with the Phillies bashers...but at least I get to see a rare game on tv tonight...

Tony Danza is singing the National Anthem tonight. A local cab driver here in Danza Country once mesmerized me en route to LaGuardia with tales of how Tony and he used to travel in the same circles and he (Tony, that is) wasn't so great. It could have been my driver singing the national anthem tonight, y'know.

I don't know if you've heard (it's gotten attention in the Philadelphia area anyway) but Tony Danza will be teaching a high school course in an inner city Philadelphia school this year. It's for, of course, a reality show.

that's scary, Danza's acting has always made it appear to me like he'd be lucky to earn a G.E.D... I owe Tony an apology...looks like he's got a Bachelor's Degree in History...

He graduated from the University of Dubuque.

From Tony's WikiP entry:

Danza attended Malverne High School, graduating in 1969 and was said to score a near perfect SAT score.

You still hear tell of this score among neighborhood children's tales and the bedtime stories of cruel parents. According to legend, if you listen to the winds over Hempstead Lake just past the witching hour every third September 27th, they'll whistle his multiple-choice answer sequence.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2009 06:14 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

I know the part about going to Malverne is true. Can't speak as to the SAT score.

I think this is the first day we've rested Francoeur. He missed a game or two, I think, when he injured his thumb but he's been an everyday guy virtually since the day he got to the big leagues.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 13 2009 06:51 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Ouch! Well, I guess we won't see anymore of Castillo, either.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 13 2009 06:52 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Then again, he's running out to first.

Ashie62 Sep 13 2009 07:58 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

A loss tonight eliminates a chance of a winning season Time for the 22 game winning streak The Lake Hempstead winds only sing multiple choice answers on the 9/27 of leap years or far too many cab drivers would like in Dubuque

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2009 08:28 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

I approve of all 1-2-3 innings that involve Werth getting hit by a pitch

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2009 08:39 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Yeah, but I can't believe we're getting dicked by a 74 year old Pedro

Edgy DC Sep 13 2009 08:40 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Murphy's two-out double came on Pedro's ninth pitch. But it was the first strike of the at-bat.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2009 08:41 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

fucking muffy

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2009 08:41 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Not to mention dicking ourselves.

themetfairy Sep 13 2009 08:45 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Fucking lack of fundamentals. Doesn't anyone here know how to play this game?

metsguyinmichigan Sep 13 2009 08:46 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Who does Murphy think he is, Angel Pagan?

Edgy DC Sep 13 2009 08:47 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Angel's the new baserunning coach.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2009 08:51 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Time for the Phillies to give Pedro what the Mets used to give him --- the gift of blown saves.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2009 08:56 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Gotta run for Schneids, no? oe: yes they are

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 13 2009 08:57 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

wtg, Schneid

Edgy DC Sep 13 2009 08:57 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Brian Schneider, off the interstate.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2009 08:59 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

The Frenchman is a sucker for those high fastballs.

Edgy DC Sep 13 2009 09:02 PM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Mets should have scored about 13 runs tonight. Pedro threw 130 pitches. The Phils pen was taxed and struggling, and the Mets barely even got into it all day.

But let's be honest, they're deficient so many other positions they really have no other choice but to bring him back.

metirish Sep 14 2009 06:37 AM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

I didn't see one pitch of the four games this weekend , can't remember the last time that happened. Pedro - 130 pitches?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 14 2009 06:49 AM Re: IGT--Mets @ Phillies, 09/13/09, Game Two

Even when other teams-- hell, even when a demoralized rival-- are practically begging them to, this team can't even f*cking spoil.
