Three weeks since Luis Castillo's last start. Two since his last appearance. Three weeks for Nickeas also.

Duda batting second is, well, odd.

I've lost teh energy to be bewildered at the lineups anymore anyway. Manuel needs to win out to have a winning tenure.

Can I just say that I was a bit stunned to see in the Snooze today that the Phillies have 92 wins......then I saw that they have won 10 in a row.....wankers

Let's face it our job this weekend is merely to delay the clinch, hopefully until after we're out of town.

Zvon Sep 24 2010 05:18 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Last thing I wanna see is the Phils clinching against the Mets. So I know that's what's gonna happen. Shane lead off homer. Shane! SHANEEEEEE!!

Does the thought of a PR for Ike cross Jerry's mind?

bmfc1 Sep 24 2010 07:13 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Or a PR for Thole?

bmfc1 Sep 24 2010 07:15 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Congrats Jerry. 1 for 2 on the pinch runners and it took you 2 pitches into Feliciano's AB to do it but nice job.

bmfc1 Sep 24 2010 07:17 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

What the fuck was Feliciano swinging at? Too bad it wasn't a pitcher from AAA, those he can hit.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 24 2010 07:17 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

we are just so sorry.

Kong76 Sep 24 2010 07:18 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Well, another loss ... at least it was quick!

Edgy DC Sep 24 2010 07:40 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

What a wretched, detached, irrelevant second half.

Kong76 Sep 24 2010 08:01 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Well put ... wretched irrelevance!!

bmfc1 Sep 24 2010 08:06 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

SurfingTheMets: Wright and Reyes ripped Utley pretty good for what they called a "dirty" slide into Tejada. Let's see Gee stick one near Utley's ear tomorrow.

Kong76 Sep 24 2010 08:18 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

It wasn't all that dirty imho.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 24 2010 08:21 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

That explains why they played with such passion and fury down the stretch tonight.

Kong76 Sep 24 2010 08:28 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

I mean so long as the slider, the taker-outer, the human-cannonballer is within reach of a bag ... good clean baseball.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2010 08:37 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

I've seen worse but it was a bit late. Utley's ass didn't hit the ground until he was 2 ft or more past 2B

Kong76 Sep 24 2010 08:52 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Two feet? I'll have to watch the replay again. I thought of it more as a welcome to the bigs slide.

Edgy DC Sep 24 2010 09:24 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

I missed the play. I'm just pushing this baby to page two.

G-Fafif Sep 24 2010 10:53 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

One of these two teams was playing to win. The other was playing so the game (and season) could be over. Utley slid hard and maybe a little chippily. So somebody get on first tomorrow and slide hard and chippily at him.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 25 2010 08:59 AM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

Dude was trying to take out Tejada, and with good reason (especially considering the closeness of the game). There was no human tarpaulin action (a la the season-ender for Murphy) and no sliding outside the baseline. This is almost as stupid as their yapping about Reyes,

Frayed Knot Sep 25 2010 03:14 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

The objection isn't about playing hard or about take-out slides, it's about take-out slides which don't begin until after the runner crosses the bag. Or, put another way, without evasive maneuvers Utley's body hits Tejada close to knee-high. As I said at the time, I've seen worse but it was still a late and borderline dirty slide. And if the post-game yapping makes Utley feel need to bail out early on a potential DP in order to protect his knees tonight then it's all worth it. Or if he takes a pitch in the ribs in the first inning then that's OK too; it's not like he doesn't intentionally stick himself in front of a dozen or so pitches per year anyway.

Zvon Sep 25 2010 03:25 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

I think the slide was late and very aggressive but it wasn't a "get me to the bag on time" slide, it was a take out slide, and it was a good one. Dirty? Not at all. Aggressive? Very. I would not expect this Mets team to know what aggressive play is all about. The best way to answer that, since they didn't address it last night, is not with their mouths, but with their bats tonight. Talk is cheap.

Edgy DC Sep 26 2010 01:58 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

A slide where you're but doesn't hit the ground until after you've passed the bag is just as dirty as a slide that takes you out of the baseline. I vote guilty.

I, of course, agree with you but wanted to answer anyway so as to mock your grammar and spelling.

Zvon Sep 26 2010 03:26 PM Re: IGT, Mets @ Phillies, 09/24/10

If a Met pulled that same exact slide we'd be patting him on the back and saying nice aggressive play guy. By the rules of the game that was an acceptable take out slide. Man, has this game changed over the years.

I deserve that. My... um... dog was bothering me as I typed.

No, I wouldn't pat any such Met on the back. David Wright himself went halfway onto the outfield grass back in 2006 or so. He got rightfully tossed from the game and threw an embarassing snitfit when he did. Cheap plays are cheap plays and I don't think it is within the rules of the game.
