You can play spoiler, despite it all the Phillies are in the hunt.

Big Game tonight. Phils desperately need every one they can get and Lee has been pitching excellently. Dickey wants to make sure his book gets a good "new afterward" for the paperback edition, so you can be sure he'll be at his best. Terry needs the home-losses streak to end to keep his job and Fred/Jeff to keep their money. I don't think Sandy cares.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2012 12:35 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

I want that Boston sports jock to call Sandy to ask him if he's checked out.

T'would be nice if we could also finish up this 2nd half by having the most wins of any team at CitiField. Someone posted the to-date totals a couple of days ago and we were like 4th. 10 home games left.

I think in 1978, then-Cub Dave Kingman hit more homers at Shea than any Met. Or at least he was leading for much of the year.

What this country needs is a good Nickeas cigar! Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Scott Hairston – RF Lucas Duda – 1B Jason Bay – LF Andres Torres – CF Mike Nickeas – C R.A. Dickey – RHP

Sky King clouted 9 versus his former club that year, home and away.

Dickey on pace for 28 Ks.

Zvon Sep 17 2012 05:17 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

And Dickey throws away a pickoff throw. Oy. This isn't starting well. Well, the last few didn't end well. Maybe we are turning things around.

Phuck....

Zvon Sep 17 2012 05:20 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Torres can't make a throw to the plate from the infield. 1-0 them.

Zvon Sep 17 2012 05:39 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Do umps in general have something against R.A.?

The Second Spitter Sep 17 2012 05:40 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Balking fucking Bob.

Zvon Sep 17 2012 06:00 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Very nice catch by Bay. And somehow he didn't hit his head on anything.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2012 06:01 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Maybe Jason Bay will make a useful defensive replacement. For Las Vegas.

Zvon Sep 17 2012 06:04 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Anyone know why they have built additional box seats by the dugout?

Ty for the info guys. Wish the team prepared as well for the playing of this game.

Zvon Sep 17 2012 06:29 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Gah! Yep, that was gone. I wanna say Hairston should have had that but it would have been an awesome catch. Nice try Scotty.

The Second Spitter Sep 17 2012 06:33 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Shut the gates.

Support your local knuckler!

Booishness.

Another nice try Scotty.

Torres, you're down by two in the seventh inning. What the heck are you swinging at the first pitch for?

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2012 07:07 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

It would be easy to bitch about the fact that their two HRs made it over the fences by like a combined 8 inches or so - but until one of our batters actually makes their OFers back up to make a play (whether on a hit or not) we're not going to get those breaks. I think so far only Duda's 2B and one fly out (forget who) made an OFer move in any direction other than in.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2012 07:10 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

OK, Murphy. Make a story here.

Wright's last 42 hits: 1 HR, 9 doubles, 32 singles

What's with the first-pitch swinging? Fuck, fire everybody. Fire me, for God's sake.

Frayed Knot Sep 17 2012 07:31 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Well, it's not like they were having great success by looking at strike one go past them each time.

Edgy MD Sep 17 2012 07:50 PM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

Well, I'm marking this in my book as Jason Bay's last ever start for the Mets.

Beyond exasperating its' fan basd the Mets have to be losing lotsa money this season, have to, although I have no proof.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 18 2012 08:51 AM Re: IGT 9/17 v PHIL: Phillies: Prepare to get Knucklephuck

We really needed a Dickey picker-upper to step up. Fuckin' pathetic, anemic noffense!
