Someone said Lutz, Valdespin, Rottino all in the lineup for Buffalo, indicating no DLNA anyway.

Holy Catalanotto! The third baseman has to bat third!

batmagadanleadoff Apr 13 2012 12:07 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

If the season ended yesterday, the Mets would be traveling to Phoenix for a one game do or die qualifying game against the D-Backs.

If I can learn how to spell Nieuwenhuis (and I have!) then, if necessary, I can learn how to spell Tuiasosopo.

Frayed Knot Apr 13 2012 02:03 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

It's spelled exactly as it sounds.

Ceetar Apr 13 2012 02:12 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

sounds like DL likely for Wright, who still can't swing/swollen pinky. Will try again tomorrow, but who knows if one day suddenly makes a difference. Collins apparently confirms Murphy would go to third, Cedeno/Turner at second which seems like the universally panned move by critics. I support Murphy-Lutz in the infield myself.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 13 2012 02:50 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Murphy at third and Turner at second seems the way to go to me.

I just don't see that providing enough improvement in the run prevention dept to make up for not getting Murphy the extra two weeks of 2B reps.

I, too, am #TeamLutzphy. I'm thinking the Turner-third thing might be an effort to go lefty-righty all the way down the pipe. (An attempt to counteract the secretly-pretty-good Philly 'pen?)

Can we call Zack lutZ ZZ?

As we learned from the Delgado game at the old house of evil, Blue hats on the road means good offensive things. Nice to have those early hits against Lee.

Ceetar Apr 13 2012 05:14 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Just as Gary's talking about all Lee's shutouts, double double and 1-0.

Gwreck Apr 13 2012 05:15 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

KABOOM for...do my eyes deceive me...Jason Bay!

Thole is a moron.

Josh, you're riding the bench for the rest of the series.

Ceetar Apr 13 2012 05:32 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Did Rollins mouth something? Hard to tell..I'll wait to see what Thole says (taht said, don't listen to the freaking enemy and drill Rollins please) Bay with an outfield assist too?

Gwreck Apr 13 2012 05:41 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Most likely answer is that Rollins told Thole not to slide because the play was at first. Thole, like an idiot, thought it was foul and jogged back to first.

Hairston homers and dang if the Philly crowd isn't really quiet.

That was a big ol' shot.

Dickey scrapes through another Phillie threat. Meanwhile, a baby falls asleep in my arm. Is it bad mojo to move her?

Mets – Willets Point Apr 13 2012 07:05 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Did everyone else fall asleep too? The Phillies keep getting baserunners and the Phillies keep phailing to score. I hope this continues for one more inning.

Fman99 Apr 13 2012 07:08 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Sure seems quiet in Philly. Good times.

Rollins turns two outs into zero. That's a net loss, kids, for you diehard Phillie fans out there.

Ashie62 Apr 13 2012 07:19 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Fast game also.

Nymr83 Apr 13 2012 07:31 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

From the NYM Pessimist Department: The Mets really failed to capitalize there, let's hope they don't need those insurance runs they left on base.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 13 2012 07:31 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Mets load the bases with no outs and only squeak across one run. Still, more than enough to win this thing.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 13 2012 07:38 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Daniel Murphy doing a perfectly cromulent Wright imitation with the ninth-inning yips.

Fman99 Apr 13 2012 07:41 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Glad to see that Muffie's muff didn't cost them a ball game the way that some former Mets 2B 2 out, 9th inning gaffe might. Put it in the books by the way.

Edgy MD Apr 13 2012 07:41 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Yup. Looking good, Mets.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 13 2012 07:42 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Whew! That's the type of ninth-inning that the 2007-2008 Phillies would have made the Mets pay for.

Edgy DC wrote: Daniel Murphy doing a perfectly cromulent Wright imitation with the ninth-inning yips. I don't recall Wright doing anything THAT bad. And what's that for Murph now; at least two real clunkers on easy grounders plus three, maybe four, missed DPs? Fast game also. Was REAL fast until both the top & bottom of the 9th slowed things up. Much more enjoyable than the Nats series where each game was 3-1/2 hours.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 13 2012 08:22 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Pretty solid effort from the Mets despite it all. Tell ya what, neither Philly nor Atlanta looks all that friggin great so far, and maybe if we also didn;t suck Washington would be awfully beatable too. I'm declaring the East a 5-team Scramble.

Edgy MD Apr 13 2012 08:33 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

I agree, but Phillie hasn't thrown one of their three aces out there at us yet. What we need to do is show we can do well against some of the division's top pitchers. Be nice to get our lefty mashers mashing a bit, too.

TransMonk Apr 13 2012 08:34 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Things I disliked: Thole's baserunning. Murphy's wickets. The mention of Rollin's 2007 MVP Award. Things I liked: The blue. Dickey. The time and pace of the game. Bay's Blast. Winning.

MFS62 Apr 13 2012 08:39 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

This was a bad night for Philly teams that played against teams that have nicknames ending with "ets". Later

'Nother great pitching outing for the Nats - Jordan Zimmermann this time. Currently tied 1-1 with the Reds in the 13th on ... Friday the 13th. Braves in a wild one with the Brewers. 10-8 Braves in the 8th.

Frayed Knot Apr 13 2012 09:13 PM Re: IGT: Game 7 - 04/13/12 @ Philly

Nats win in 13th on (say it with me folks) an infield single, two walks, and a single through the drawn-in infield.

Well I'm just dumb because I was seriously checking Blanton's stats to see if there's something I've missed in the past few seasons since babies occupy my mind more than baseball.
