In honor of the Mets playing Philadelphia and then flying to Milwaukee, let's find out who was a Met, a Phillie and a Brewer... Eleven players, none of whom you could truly call "all-time" for any of the franchises in question: Gary Bennett, Dan Boitano, Ricky Bottalico, Jose Cardenal, Kane Davis, Tom Edens, Julio Franco, Dick Selma and Kelly Stinnett... PLUS Wayne Twitchell who wandered over from the Met-Phillie-Expo group (brings regards from Bruce Chen)... AND our featured active performer, Nelson "Nobody Appreciates Me" Figueroa. Let's win tonight and make it a happy journey to the Midwest.

Rain and reports of a suspicious package at CF.

Oh, that package is for Jerry... please make sure he doesn't open it with anyone else nearby.

Concourse reopened at Citi Field, according to @MetsWFAN and @Ledger_NYMets. Ledger_NYMets Mets say the concourse was closed because police were checking on a camera bag that was left unattended. It's no longer a concern.

Ike goes down looking, overhead replay shows it was not a strike

Zvon May 27 2010 07:23 PM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

I don't think that was a good call on that 3rd strike to Davis. He certainly didn't.

This is true , still , he's not wanking material by any means.

Zvon May 27 2010 07:25 PM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Hamels decent play stops a possible single up the middle. Maybe not, was a chopper. Wanted more there but I'll take what they give me. Why should I change now....

Oh oh. I see some trouble. They've been wearing the blue caps with the snow whites during the streak -- and it looks great. But I see they're wearing the two-tone caps tonight. Nothing good happens when you allow the black to creep back in!

metsguyinmichigan May 27 2010 07:51 PM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Frenchy made a nice play there. At first I thought he was going to get it, but the near catch keeps the walked runner on third.

Wow. Just saw the DP replay. What a turn by Castillo. Utley was trying to take him out Excellent play. Pelf leads off with a single. Reyes singles.....

[quote="Nymr83":39ntszp3]please dont bunt and short-circuit a potential monster inning here[/quote:39ntszp3] I hear ya but I really think, the way the ballpark is currently, you have to play small ball for the most part. If they don't lower that left field fence I'm thinking what they should do is create strategic holes in the stands and as a result create air currents that will aid the flight of a baseball. That sounds funny but I'm being serious. And still lower that damn left field wall. I just hate that. ...but I hear ya.

metsguyinmichigan May 27 2010 08:21 PM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Give Manuel credit last inning for not bunting with the #2 spot hitter with Utley and Howard to follow. I'm obviously talking about Charlie.

[quote="Zvon":342eot5v]Wow. Just saw the DP replay. What a turn by Castillo. Utley was trying to take him out Excellent play.[/quote:342eot5v] Luis gets knocked for his declining range, but turning DPs is something he does VERY well IMO. Hangs in there and gets off great throws no matter how hard or how big the runner is or how fast he's coming. And just as an aside, was watching a bit of the Yanqui game a day or two ago the Yanx essentially won the game because Orlando Hudson made a HORRID turn which extended an inning and was then followed by an RBI double. He essentially took at least two extra steps in order to get out of the way of a sliding runner who wasn't even all that close to him before then taking another stride in order to throw.

I wonder if (or how much) Philly talk-radio and other assorted discussions think that the switch from Feliz to Polano at 3B is hurting them just from a defensive position alone. There's been a couple subtle plays not made - and now this huge one - that could have really made a difference in this series. Well, y'know, if the Phils were like hitting at all.

Pelf moves into the NL top ten in ERA; seven shutout innnings lowers his to 2.54; he's 10th with a bullet.

What a gorgeous fucking game that was.

Anyone know why Santana's not pitching tomorrow on four days rest, just like Pelfrey pitched today?

batmagadanleadoff May 27 2010 10:50 PM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Never mind. Today felt like Friday to me all day long.

Quotes: "It's the most impressive sweep I've ever been a part of," Francoeur said. "To hold that kind of team to no runs over three games is unbelievable. Of course, much of this streak coincides with the crafty Dickey and Takahashi - who have allowed a total of two runs over 24 combined innings during two starts apiece - replacing bullpen-banished Oliver Perez and inconsistent-and-injured John Maine in the quintet. .... Pelfrey certainly achieved that in improving to 7-0 with a 1.81 ERA and one save in 10 appearances aside from the ... six-run shelling over four innings against the Phillies on May 1 for his lone loss of the year.

I was exhausted last night and went to be early. It was fun to read this IGT this morning. Good IGT everyone.

Was able to snag a ball last night. Sitting several rows behind Mets dugout, after Werth grounded out to end the 4th, Ike flipped the ball into the stands as he headed in. It bounced off a few people's hands and landed at my feet. Picked it up and was looking at it when the guy behind me tapped on the shoulder and said 'Hey, why don't you give that to the kid?' and then pointed to his smiling, cherubic 7ish year-old. I looked at the kid - who was wearing a Phillies cap and I said 'Phillies fan? I don't think so'. Then I put it in my bag. It's on my kid's dresser this morning.

Great story, Soup!

WOW......not sure if I would have done that...I admire you for it.

soupcan gets a BOC nomination for that and a nomination for CPF member of the month.

Willets Point May 28 2010 09:02 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

That story would've been even better if you'd been able to turn and give the ball to a kid in a Mets' cap right in front of the presumptuous Phillies phan.

soupcan May 28 2010 09:02 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

I appreciate the dual nominations, thank you. One more: There was an Utley or Howard deep fly ball to center at some later point in the game when it was still 1-0 and the Phillie Phamily behind us all stood up and screamed like it was gone. It settled nicely into Pagan's glove short of the warning track and my son turned around to them and said 'This is a major-league stadium'

DocTee May 28 2010 09:06 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Your member-of-the-month award has just been transferred to your son.

bmfc1 May 28 2010 09:16 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Great job by soupcan and soupcan's son. I have to tell my son that the bar for offspring wisecracks has been raised.

soupcan May 28 2010 09:20 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Hey, how far fair was Reyes' double? They didn't show a definitive angle at the game. From where I was it looked like it almost hit the line but from the reactions in the thread I'm thinking it was fair by a lot more than that.

bmfc1 May 28 2010 09:33 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

No help here: http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/video/play. ... 5&c_id=nym You'd think they would have considered camera locations when designing the place. We have to look at the fans in the vicinity to know if it's fair.

Edgy - "I brought crap to this IGT. I was to this IGT as Henry Blanco was to last night's victory." Henry Blanco scored last night, so he had a better night than I did.

bmfc1 May 28 2010 09:48 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

Blanco threw out two runners last night. Everybody contributed. A IGT, like a Mets win, is a team effort.

Zvon May 28 2010 09:51 AM Re: Mets On Pace for Second Place: IGT 5/27/10 PHIL@NYM

This is from my local newspaper. The head line was: PHILS LEAVE NEW YORK WITH NOTHING Won't bore you with it all but I got a laugh from this: Jose Reyes, fresh from giving batting tips to the newly crowned Miss USA, was pretty at the plate.... Wonder if Reyes was playing to impress last night. *Q Todd's "We Gotta Get You A Woman"

You've just replaced Fman as my childrearing idol.

(And merely nominated as member of the month? Come on now.)
